Thank you very much for your input. I am definitely nervous with trying to use binos, as I know I really struggled to see hits at 100 with the Ares spotter. It may have been a mix of mirage and the fact that the range has a lot of shrubbery around the targets. Makes it really hard to see misses...

Hello everyone! I am currently trying to decide on a spotting scope, and am hoping for some guidance. I am looking for my first spotting scope to use for long range shooting around 1000 yards. I was hoping to get into PRS, but it just seems like I don’t have the time unfortunately. The main use...

Hi! Is that press a rock chucker?

I usually use Hoppes no. 9, but I’ve heard Butch’s bore shine and Sweets 762 mentioned here. Any preference?

I know that breaking in a barrel is pretty much considered a myth nowadays, so what are you guys doing in terms of shooting out of the box. Bore snake with hoppes solvent? What about between shooting and what not

I’m going to pass. All yours! Enjoy!

Yeah I thought AICS mags would be good for uniformity, but seems like they can bring some issues? Like you can’t use pmag acis

Hi all. About to by a CTR in 6.5 Creedmoor (24”) as my first precision rifle. Any reason to go stainless over blued performance wise? Live in Florida, but gun is always stored in safe under a/c and has a dehumidifier. Any additions or suggestions to make early on? Need rings for a Ares ETR...

Just an update... So I managed to find a store with a Bergara HMR, LRP, and tikka tac a1. Also found someone with a ctr in stock and felt them all. The premier action is definitely a noticeable upgrade over the b14, but I like the tikka action better. Decided to go with the CTR in 6.5 cm with a...

Good to hear a different experience. I do like that if I go Bergara I don’t plan to change the stock or anything so can run production division if it try PRS. Thank you very much for the kind words and well wishes. I can’t wait to hear that steel running myself!

So I’m doing some more research on the HMR pro and came across this post: Has anyone had similar issues? Seems like this person has done their due dilligence and it’s not a one off. I don’t see these issues mentioned anywhere else as far as I can tell...

24” in 6.5 Creedmoor. Exactly what I am looking for. Starting to lean this way, but I’ve felt the action on a standard HMR and a tikka varmit and think the tikka is smoother.

Yeah it looks like I could actually buy the barreled action from them and buy a bravo and just assemble it for less than the bravo package. Kind of odd
