    Rifle Competition Events NRL Barrel Question

    The vast majority of NRL Hunter open light competitors seem to be running carbon fiber barrels from what I've seen shooting/RO'ing, especially those at the top. I don't think there's any reason to be concerned with drift or heat with a quality carbon fiber barrel.

    "The Polished Knob"?

    He did a couple bolt knobs for me a couple years ago and was very helpful. I custom designed them and gave him a drawing with measurements and he nailed it perfectly. Price was pretty reasonable too, not sure what he charges these days.

    PRS Upper (small frame)

    I'm following down the same path, PRS guy trying to build out an AR to play in the long range DMR match space. Craddock was one of my top choices, but they didn't have the Bartlein blanks in stock so you had to order custom (with longer lead times). I ended up putting in an order for a custom...

    Shot timer training

    I'm using the Pocket Pro 2, nothing fancy but it works. If I were going to buy a nicer one it would be the Kestrel.

    Shot timer training

    I use a shot timer all the time for my PRS training, a lot of one-shot drills on a barricade. Start with gear in hand, build a position and break a clean shot on the beep. Use the time as a judge for performance, sometimes intentionally going slow to make the trigger pull perfect. Search for...

    What MOA dot for target Aquisition on bolt guns?

    Whether it works isn't the debate, I agree if you use the red dot to align gun to target then hold the gun still and get on scope it can help limit the "searching through a straw" problem of finding a target in a featureless background. The real question is whether it's the goal state and if...

    Missing option: No dot, more practice.

    PRS Talk Non-Samson Barrel profile for balance/NPA

    My setup is probably the same general weight (w/o barrel) as yours. I’ve got tungsten instead of brass, which is about 2lb heavier but I don’t have the Dina brass rail. I prefer 26” instead of 28” and have been running M24 barrels for the last few go arounds. Balance is just about right, any...

    Current Surgeon vs AI Action

    Build quality is not an issue with either, but based on reputation I’d say NF has the edge. I’ve currently got 3 copies of the S&B PM II 5-25 (H2CMR) and 2 copies of the NF ATACR 7-35 (Mil-C) and would give a slight edge in optical quality to the NF. I’m slowly switching over to NF after 6-7...

    Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 vs SB 6-36x56 PMii

    They're both good. I've had three copies of the PM II that I've run on different match rifles for years, 20k+ rounds across multiple barrels, traveled all over the county, haven't had any issues. Don't have as long of a track record with NF but they are super solid as well.

    Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 vs SB 6-36x56 PMii

    I have lots of experience with the PM II 5-25 and the ATACR 7-35, currently have multiple copies of both. Ultimately the ATACR has an edge over the PM II. ATACR has a more contrasty image overall which correlates to better colors/more saturation. It seems like that might give the impression of...

    6mm Dasher

    I run 265 neck diameter full length die (honed Forster) and a .241 carbide expander mandrel from Sinclair.

    Gear - First Road Match

    Gotcha. Well, the way I think of it is as camping trip + rifle match. If you cover both those bases then you're golden. As far as match stuff I only bring what I'm going to be packing on my back for the day of shooting, plus extra ammo if it's a 2 day. Weather gear as needed.

    6mm Dasher

    Have always run 0.002, never an issue with setback in the mag. It's a Dasher so not much recoil lol.

    Gear - First Road Match

    What exactly is a road match? All my matches are at least 3 hours away, and once it's 4-5 hours I'll usually camp the night before.

    Current Surgeon vs AI Action

    Lololol, I've never heard that one before but now I won't be able to get it out of my head. OP - Agree that Impact is the better choice compared to the Surgeon, it's essentially the modern evolution. I got a newer manufacturing Surgeon action 3-4 years ago, it was nice and well made, and it...

    Which bipod for PRS and NRL Hunter

    I don't have a ton of rounds through it, but thus far it hasn't fallen off. I shot a NRL Hunter match last weekend with a lightweight 6.5 creed and it held fine across 19 stages in one day. There's probably some movement under recoil but nothing that's caused an issue.

    Which bipod for PRS and NRL Hunter

    Double pull lightweight. I run one for NRL hunter and also carry the same bipod in my PRS pack. My default PRS bipod is the Atlas CAL but I could easily run the double pull without complaints. Side note - I did drill and pin the double pull to remove any panning rotation.

    Leofoto tripod for NRL

    I could take or leave the tac table for shooting off of. I usually will just throw a bag on the top of the leveling head if I'm going to shoot from the tripod. The tac table is nice for glassing though, I throw a bag on top of the table (with bag oriented vertically) and binos on top of the bag...

    Leofoto tripod for NRL

    Leofoto SO-362CX, two section inverted, sturdy, fast to deploy, nice and tall. I use a RRS TA-3 leveling head in mine, but there are lots of options for different heads. Tac table = DIY. Thick piece of 8x10 polycarbonate, drill two holes and mount an Arca rail section on the bottom. Cover the...
