    Switching between manners stocks

    I haven’t pulled that lead anchor out yet, but that’s very possible that I’m subconsciously feeling the weight difference and it’s throwing me off. I’ll switch them next time I head to the range, I almost did that yesterday but the range is a little weird since it’s public.

    Switching between manners stocks

    Both are mini chassis and from what I’ve heard/told the TCS and PRS1 should have the same reach in regards to the trigger. Funny part is the TCS rigs got a diamond set to 10oz while the PRS1 rig has a TT primary that’s 1.5lbs.

    Switching between manners stocks

    Has anyone switched stocks that have pretty much the same ergonomics and seen a noticeable difference in their performance behind the trigger? I switched from a PRS1 to a TCS for my centerfire comp rifle and for some reason I’m struggling to get the same level of accuracy, now I wondering if...

    Picking a first PRS two day match

    It’s very possible, and it seems a lot of the guys around here have been venturing out to more pro matches this season. The prices are definitely creeping up, which is a shame but everything is going up in price so it’s to be expected. That’s what has always discouraged me from doing the two...

    Picking a first PRS two day match

    I’m in NY on the CT border, so sheepdog is my usual range for matches along with granby in MA but there new laws have made it a little sketchy since they are so ambiguous. I’m willing to travel if I could get some people local to me that are willing to drive to matches that are with in 8 or so...

    Staball match in 223

    I want to try the 77 TMK’s since I’ve got the room to play around with since my current loaf is 2.495 and the sierra stuff seems to not care about jump. Plus I could use them for precision gas gun stuff if I wanted to.

    Staball match in 223

    Solid speed, I loaded up from 24.7-25.9 after seasoning the barrel and was getting solid speed with low sd/es. Then I tested to see what once fired brass would do from 25.6-26.2 and got higher sd/es which I found a little weird.

    Staball match in 223

    I think that’s one of the threads I saw with the random smattering on 223

    Picking a first PRS two day match

    Maybe next year, I’ve heard awesome things about the Ruger-Koenig match from a few people.

    Staball match in 223

    Does anyone have experience with Staball Match in 223 with 75gr class bullets in a bolt gun? I know there are a ton of recipes with varget but haven’t really found anything for Staball besides a random post here and there.

    Picking a first PRS two day match

    If you were shooting your first two day match which would you choose… war rifles shootout or sheepdog showdown? Both are about the same distance from me to travel to and both have solid reputation for being a good time, the showdown “qualifier” match and the shootout standard two day. I haven’t...

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    USPS is a nightmare to deal with in regards to insurance claims, especially anything firearms related items. I shipped a stock back to manners through them a while ago and the clerk at the counter told me “good luck if this get lost or damaged, because we won’t cover it”. I also got a whole...

    .223 Rifle Build

    Give northland shooting supply a shout, they might have something on the shelf or have something coming in and you can check out preferred barrel blanks. I’d personally go with an origin just because you can get the HLR lug for it and that opens up the available to run TL3 shouldered barrels.

    What is your idea of a perfect PRS rifle build?

    So I’ve been doing the whole barricade benchrest since day one, I need to look cool in photos with the newest wize bang gear instead of practical gear.
