    DFW Area PRS Guys

    I’m in Lakewood in Dallas and toying with getting into the PRS game. My experience is limited to military rifle, pistol, LMG, and sniper matches and mil ranges. Spent some time at Tiger Valley and ETTS a decade ago but pleased to hear there are other ranges in the DFW area. Where can a guy...

    I need some measurements...length of fore-end on KRG Bravo and MDT Field Stock

    Morning all, I just picked up a lightly used Remington 700 .223 with 16.5" barrel for cheap...and even cheaper after the 25% off I got at Cabela's yesterday! Of course, I'm ditching the Hogue oversold stock and putting it in something a bit dressier. This will be used almost exclusively for...

    Can't decide which scope/rifle combo I have makes the most sense

    Eventually I'll buy a 21st century optic.;)

    Can't decide which scope/rifle combo I have makes the most sense

    Yet another question...I'm going down the rabbit hole as of late and would appreciate your perspectives. I have two rifles and two scopes...and I'm weighing which scope makes the most sense for the rifles in question. Neither will be used for hunting. Both for shooting paper and steel. So here...

    Pristine NXS or well used ATACR?

    Not entirely…seller said non illuminated. But I know of at least one instance when someone had illumination and never realized it was illuminated! So...is there a particular gripe with Nightforce scopes that are SFP?

    Pristine NXS or well used ATACR?

    All good points I hadn't considered.

    Pristine NXS or well used ATACR?

    In my old school way of thinking, the only reason for FFP is the ability to "range" at any magnification with speed being an advantage, with the drawback being the reticle is harder to see detail (.20 Mils) for instance, when magnification is low. Is there another advantage I'm not thinking...

    Pristine NXS or well used ATACR?

    I believe all three options are SFP. The NXS 5.5-22x56 non-illuminated is $1200 with Barrett rings in Excellent Condition. The NXS 5.5-22x50 non-illuminated MOAR-T in one piece Mount with extras is $1300. Also excellent condition. The ATACR 5-22x56 non-illuminated Mil-R well used with no mount...

    How important are illuminated reticles on a PRS build that is not used for hunting?

    In the last 10 years or so, I've always opted to buy an illuminated reticle, but now as I'm contemplating another scope, I realize that I rarely use the illumination feature. Yes...I have them on all but two of the hunting rifles, that I rarely use for anything other than range toys. Both of my...

    Pristine NXS or well used ATACR?

    I’m looking at a number of scope options to put on either a 6.5 LMT MWS 20” auto loader or a 308 Tikka Tact 1 24”. I currently have an NXS 3.5-15x50 that I moved from the LMT to the Tikka and I’ve been thinking about something with more magnification for the LMT. Two of the scopes I’m...

    Advice for hunting scope: Nightforce SHV 3-10 or older Swarovski 1.5-6?

    Found a S&B 1.5-6x42 Zenith firedot on Black Friday that did the trick.

    Accidentally bought a new rifle...now I need glass.

    Howdy, I realize there's a bunch of threads on here about what glass to get, but given that people's price range and intended uses are different, the suggestions differ considerably. So here goes... A couple of days ago I was meeting a guy to buy an old Remington 700 mountain gun. He was...

    Which used rifle: Remington 700 AAC-SD 6.5CM or Bergara B-14 HMR in .308?

    My local Cabela's has announced Member Monday's and between that and my military discount, I'll be getting 15% off of used guns. Currently my store has two rifles I've been eyeing. The first is a Remington 700 AAC-SD in 6.5CM. 22" barrel, Hogue overmold stock (which will have to be replaced)...

    To cut or not to cut...new Tikka T3X Lite

    Alright all. Just got my rifle back yesterday from Live Oak Accuracy. Scott is a stand up guy and knows his stuff. Seems he machined all of the Stiller Mk13 receivers back in the day and he clearly cares about craftsmanship. Cut the barrel back to 17.5", threaded, and installed Scott's...

    Advice for hunting scope: Nightforce SHV 3-10 or older Swarovski 1.5-6?

    I recently bought a Tikka T3x Lite .308 stainless rifle that I'm having the barrel cut back to 18". I'm in the process of piecing together the various parts to make this a really nice and handy "general purpose" rifle. I'm currently looking at several scopes with the most interesting candidates...
