where can I find out what rifles / optics were used by the top 20? I see it was at k and m. Was safety third involved.
If they have the info in their PRS profile, then this would be a good start:

Is this some kind of soft drag of that poor bastard who leaned his face on his muzzle and was immortalized in “morale patch” forever?
I know scope wise 1st) Kahles, 2nd) Nighforce ATACR 3rd) Tangent Theta, 4th) I think Leupold 5th) Leupold 6th) Tangent Theta, 7th) Tangent Theta, 8th) U.S Optics 9th and 10th no idea.
I though leupold and Kahles had mechanical issues ?
Guess schimdt is too expensive for budgets now after the price increase
After shooting a lot of matches this year I found you see very few Schmidt’s. You see a lot of ZCO’s now which is what myself and my main two shooting partners all shoot. Leupold is definitely nice for the money but I’m not a fan. I personally have a ZCO 5-27, ATACR 7-35 and a Razor Gen 2 4.5-27 and would gladly shoot a match with either three.
Schmidt hasn’t been in the top for a number of years. Not a lot of guys using them in PRS. A number of reasons that I know of.
Fairly certain you don‘t either.
Well not very well anyhow or you would of been at the finale to see what the top 20 used…
Yes I’m just surprised to see people winning when they compromise on scope selection
Correct. Work and family takes my time.
It’s my favorites thing to do but can’t do it often. I’m a mid pack finisher. 20s-30s out of. 50-80 shooter one days. Last 2 day i shot I was 66 out of I think 200

Says the guy that hates God.
I’m going to say after shooting in matches and in some squads and with some of the top shooters this year that if you give them about any scope within reason they would still finish towards the top.

the top spots are all sponsored, so who cares what they use, they are paid to use it and most would sell their souls for free anything
Like Team Gap is sponsored by Bushnell, they have a GAP reticle for them, I just got one of the "Team scopes" from them and it was broken out of the box, so why would you go with a sponsored shooter uses when they are being compensated to use it.
S&B are not sold as much here in the US Anymore, all the dealers gave up their dealerships because EURO Optics goes direct and the rest can't match the prices, so only Euro and a few legacy places sell them.
Because they stopped being used widely about 8+ years ago, they stopped innovating with a lot of stuff Comp shooters want. I still run a bunch of S&Bs but not nearly as much as I used too, all Zeiss and ZCo now really with the others mixed in.

I still have my S&B and will probably never move it along, but it doesn’t set on my PRS rifle.
I mostly use my Ultra Shorts now, most of my 5-25x are not used
Oh, I missed the Safety Third Reference I have that here:
I’m just mainly asking if AI made any headway versus the Mpa mdt etc With their new comp rifle they have now.
This is the case for many of the top shooters but not all of them, Buschman who won it all is not sponsored by anyone and still loads all of his ammo on a lee press… Your point of not following what the top guys “recommend” is a valid one though in most cases as many of them have ulterior motives. However the fact they run the gear successfully is a testament of that gear being capable of performing at very high levels. Often times guys concerned about the performance level of a top tier optic are the ones that cant perform to the level requiring a mid tier one…
who does AI sponsor in the top 20 of PRS?
your question doesn't apply within what you're asking
Thank you! That makes sense I had forgotten that aspect of gear seelection
My practiscore ? Ha I don’t need my customers knowing what my hobbies are / getting arocked
I don’t have a Prs number not giving those clowns extra money with all their shenanigans like the factory rifle fiasco
Yep, Jeff who tied for second is only sponsored by a gunsmith. He shoots the builds and optics he wants to.
I thought we were talking about how anything but a Schmidt is a “compromise”….now we are are “mainly” talking about market penetration of AI chassis products?
This is a strong first effort bud. It might take a while to regain any credibility after this but I think with your extensive experience in 20-30th place, you have the persistence to claw your way back to relevance in at least one thread on the forum.

Same here, I am not a top 20 shooter though. I have a smith who sponsors me and I run what I want. I give my honest opinion on gear to new shooters and save them headaches as much as possible. Contrary to hide belief most PRS guys are helpful and honest. There is a lot less money getting thrown around than many are lead to believe. It is concentrated at the very top and among industry insiders. Half the jersey logos are for aesthetics or very small discounts.
No. Everything is a compromise unless it is a zero compromise.
They have a complete comp rifle available now. I said. Nothing about chassis
You should come to the mdt frostbite. I’m sure your shooting is akin to the accuracy of a godless communist ak47. While mine is more like a god fearing American mk 12
I have a hard time believing you shoot any matches with your prior comments. Another Internet forum know it all know nothing.
You would have to pry my 520 us with dtii+ turrets from my cold dead hands....
That all makes sense. Thanks.
Just half of the logos? More like 90 - 100% of them on most people's shirts.
Based on your location, where do you shoot matches in MI? Or in the region?
I thought this thread was going to be more spicy... Guess not. 
*No Narcan was expended during this event*I thought this thread was going to be more spicy... Guess not.

Says the guy who takes the same k and m class twice. I think there’s bias there
Top notch facilities.Took 2 different classes.
Fwiw, I like K&M. Excellent facility and staff.
Personnel. I’m terrible with names. Lefty is great , Shannon is good. Safety third shouldn’t be an instructor
