    Suppressors Rebel suppressors. (Budget thread)

    Nothing wrong with aluminium for a centerfire can. Not ideal for high volume string shooting (e.g. competition) but perfectly adequate for hunting.

    Rifle Scopes Light hunting optics

    The Zeiss HD5 with the locking turrets is an underrated piece of kit IMO. Great for mountain hunting.

    Rifle Scopes So, what about Leupold Mark 5 ?

    The offset labels are easier to read IMO. 3 layers of text stacked on top of each other would be pretty cluttered

    Rifle Scopes So, what about Leupold Mark 5 ?

    Anyone used the CCH reticle in a hunting scenario? Or, thoughts about how this reticle would perform at low mag for hunting?

    Howa 1500 Barreled Action Build

    I have a Timney on mine. It's nice, but I didn't have the newer HACT trigger to compare it to.

    Is it worth buying a Magneto speed if you're shooting factory ammo?

    Why is it such a problem if there is POI shift? Why are people so fixated on this as an issue with the magneto speed? Strap it on and run ~5 rounds through, take it off and carry on about your day.

    Howa 1500 Barreled Action Build

    These barreled actions should be replacing the r700 as the default "go to" for a build. They are dead simple, tough as hell and accurate. I love seeing more and more companies getting behind them with components!

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 is it enough for PRS type shooting

    It's appealing to me because it isn't horrifically light - and could therefore serve double duty on a hunting rifle.

    Long Action Target Caliber

    Crappy options for 10rd magazines is the main drawback for LA. If you can solve that, go for it! I love my 6.5x55.

    Statistical Zero

    From a statistics point of view, some of the sample sizes we shooters use is laughable. Standard Deviation being one that comes to the front of my mind. That's not to say though that a 3 or 5 shot group isn't meaningful however!

    What would you put on a lightweight long range hunting rifle build?

    I'd be looking at the Mark 5 or Mark 6 for sure.

    PRS Talk Looking for advice

    Get a bipod and go practise. I figure it's better to work out what you need from actually shooting the match, rather than speculating and wasting money.

    Hornady 4DOF users - how are you liking this?

    Well, you completely missed my point, but yes, sure :p I am saying it would be much nicer to have fine control over which units are used where. Many of us range in meters, do wind in mph for example. A metric / imperial "catch all" setting invariably ends up in having to do conversion maths for...

    Hornady 4DOF users - how are you liking this?

    Would be great to have more granular control of units (my gripe with just about every ballistic calculator) - e.g. when using metric, I don't know my barrel twist in cm!
