    Rifle Scopes Long range optics that can moonlight as a deer hunting optic

    I have a Tango 6 30mm tube 3-18 that lived on my Grendel for coyote hunting. Switched to a 4-24 for range use. So if you’re interested shoot me a PM.

    How interested would precision shooters be in another M118LR 308 option?

    I have a LabRadar, .223 bolt gun that’s capable of .5 or better, and a 6.5cm that is .5 or better. So if you need volunteers just let me know.

    Mine fits in the pelican, Plano all weather, and some random case

    In PRS anything goes as far as brakes. I run a Hellfire on mine, and it is not friendly to those next to it. As far as scope magnification; I tend to run around 15-18x and back it down quite a bit when searching for targets, then back up to where I’m comfortable. 12x is doable but you will be...

    Furthest that I took mine was 1305, but no issues. One mile may be pushing it as running my ELDs at 2850, i'm down to around 900fps by 1760.

    The difference is case overall length limitations. I am running steel mags, due to my barrel wearing down. I have to load my rounds much longer to meet the .055 jump that the ELD likes.

    the pmags are made for AR, gas rifles so they have a bolt catch on last round. After running the bolt enough, the mag will wear down so it does not stop the bolt, or you can file the bolt catch down, and it will run just fine.

    The throat starts to wear quicker due to higher pressure. I’ve heard reports of 10K on a 308 barrel and it staying under 1MOA. When I changed my 6.5 barrel at 3300+\- I was unable to keep it on a 10” plate at 400 from a prone position. For me that was unacceptable.

    I ran my factory barrel for over 3000 rounds before it gave up the ghost.

    Only issues I had with those mags were when I was loading the bullets too long.

    I run the Accurate Mags and have not had an issue with the 6.5. OAL is quite a bit longer than the magpul as well.

    PRS Talk Negligent Discharges Need To Stop!

    At my first match there was a qualification before the match, where i had to load, unload, move, engage multiple distances etc, before i was allowed to shoot.

    I'm just going to throw it out there. Saturday I had an ND at a match. I had a double feed; Dropped the mag pulled bolt back, reinserted mag, closed bolt, bang. When it happened I didn’t even realize it was my rifle that had gone off. I thought it was the stage next to me until I looked over...

    Rifle Scopes 1k tactical scopes vs 2k + tactical scopes

    So I just had this debate with myself for the last year. I went from running two 1k scopes to running two 1.8-2k scopes. The difference is actually quite amazing in my mind. I did like my 1k scopes but I had two of them dramatically fail during matches in the last two years. The new scopes have...

    Thanks for the info! I wasn’t aware that they changed their design.
