    AMR reticle more or less accomplishes this

    Which 2 Stage Trigger for my GA-Precision Hospitaller with Templar V-II Action?

    That should work. Flat is the trigger shoe shape. I'm not exactly sure what the "clean" means. But you should be GTG.

    Looking for PRS Beginner Tips

    1. Keep things simple: don't try to incorporate a bunch of bags or gadgets. This is one of the biggest mistakes I saw back when I was shooting PRS somewhat regularly. Most stages you can get buy with just a barricade bag. Resist the temptation to drag a tripod around every stage for rear...

    Which 2 Stage Trigger for my GA-Precision Hospitaller with Templar V-II Action?

    OTM Tactical has some: https://shop.otmtactical.com/triggertech-special-r70-sbs-13-tnc.html So does EuroOptic: https://www.eurooptic.com/triggertech Bugholes (though they aren't clear on which ones are 2 stage): https://www.bugholes.com/TriggerTech-triggers-for-sale-s/1825.htm Mile High...

    The Gay Tiger is tempting me from shooting straight with 6BR.

    The issue with the term "ELR" is that it's fairly ambiguous - it means different things to different people. Even in the competition side it's open up to interpretation. From rimfire events that are 200-600 yards to Ko2M and everything in between (NF ELR, KRG ELR, FCSA, BR ELR, etc). The OP...

    Duck food to grow in a stock tank

    The local F&G office should have biologists on staff or know some good resources. If there's a local(ish) university, that's worth checking out as well. Should have more than a few biologists and botanists that would be willing to help out with a simple request. They may also have resources...

    Which 2 Stage Trigger for my GA-Precision Hospitaller with Templar V-II Action?

    Yes, your action is essentially considered an R700 when you buy a trigger. Any trigger designed for an R700 should theoretically fit. A popular 2 stage is the Trigger Tech. The 2 stage Special would likely work for you. You can adjust stage pull weights, the breaks are crisp. There is no over...

    It does look like a really nice reticle, well thought out design. And it's nice that March is willing to work with groups like PRS shooters to accommodate this side of the arena. Thanks for sharing, I'll be keeping my eye on March.

    Reloading for shorter barrels?

    I've only had one 18" 6.5 Creedmoor barrel, but I've had pretty good luck so far with N150 and 123 Scenars. Approx. ~2850 fps with 40.0 grains N150 and Norma/RUAG brass. No noticable pressure signs. ~3/4 MOA accuracy. Would have to look at my reloading book for SD's, but it was probably...

    Pre Fit Smiths

    TS Customs is $800, and they do excellent work with fast turnaround times.

    I was talking about brass, but forgot that the GT has Alpha brass available for it. So that essentially washes out the pro for reloading on the BR.

    Holdovers are a skill set. If it's not a skill being practiced, it's not a skill that you will necessarily feel comfortable utilizing.

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

    I think it all comes down to scenarios and usage. Tree reticles became popular in PRS because they were beneficial to certain stage designs you would encounter. Now that PRS has become a more niche discipline a la "barricade benchrest", modern stage designs don't really necessitate their usage...

    There's also a difference between just trying to learn things and have fun, versus trying to win comps. I'm not sure what the OPs intents are, but I bet more towards the former.

    The Gay Tiger is tempting me from shooting straight with 6BR.

    IMO, ELR is not any specific distance, but when projectiles go transonic. ELR with a .22LR is very different than ELR with a .375CT. You can easily take a 6BR out to a mile + and have a lot of fun. I know someone that's successfully taken a .243 out to ~2,400 yards. Is it going to be as...
