    6.5x47 Lapua, Who Shoots Them?

    Based on feedback from a few PRS shooters I'm planning to re chamber / re barrel my current comp gun to the 6.5x47 round and my current build which I'm still collecting parts for will also be a 6.5x47... Being a lefty it takes twice as long to assemble parts for a build so I'm in no rush. I've...

    Does anyone know where the closest Camp Ground with full hook-ups would be. We will be bringing a 27' travel trailer and would like something fairly close to the range.

    MY SH 2014 GAP GRIND "THANK YOU" Thread

    Frank, It was great to finally meet you and I'm glad you never got a chance to christen my wife's rifle as I do not think all of the Oxy Clean would return it to pristine GA Precision condition. But more importantly I would like to thank you for resolving any issues with the PRS as it seems...

    M1A Build

    BCP and H-D Ghost I appreciate all of the comments and I really don't want to hijack the thread..... I might upgrade the receiver but I do want to go with the M3A as I just loathe the big cheek piece on the butt of the rifle. I just don't want the year in half wait and for a custom M1A...

    Rifle Scopes Help on 2.5-10x scope

    I was in the same boat as you after a month search I was able to find a NF mildot reticle with mil adjustments and a AR mount for $1250 used. Deals can be had and that little scope is my favorite so far. I really like the size and weight. IMO it has everything you need and nothing you don't need.

    Rifle Scopes SOCOM II Ring Height

    I just installed a Nightforce Compact in 30mm Badgers the 0.82 height and they are perfect. I have the Sadlak Mount though and I think the SOCOMII was a rail system so that might change things??...
