    Patches clean but bore still smooth black

    This is a perfect case of too little experience with a bore scope. You can see the ringing from the gun drill or the bore reamer. That fucker is CLEAN. You can also see that the edges of the lands are flaked off pretty bad. If You can see that level of detail then the barrel is clean. I can...

    PRS Talk Help with movers

    All good suggestions. There are methods for timing a mover through 10+ mils and dividing to get mils/second of movement and then multiply by time of flight and adjust for reaction time. To do that in a match you would need to be pretty good at mental math or have a spotter with a reticle...

    Rifle Scopes Best PRS comp scope under 2000$?

    If they hold up to abuse, I would agree. $2k for a gen 3 razor is a very good deal. I really like the xtr pro, but if you could get them for the same price, I think the gen 3 is a bit better.

    Rifle Scopes Best PRS comp scope under 2000$?

    It kills me how this is the constant bitch on snipershide. My wife, my 10 year old daughter, and my 7 year old daughter have all run an xtr3 a lot. Even dialing for an entire match, none of them have ever bitched about the turrets or the knurling. Then again, they don't read snipershide to...

    Moving target

    I will preface this by saying that shooting running animals with no experience is not "sporting." I grew up in Iowa where deer drives with shotguns are the norm. Everyone took dozens of shots every year. Most missed and some wounded a lot. It was the culture. I was lucky and had it...

    Help me pick a scope

    Many say the Nightforce has been revised and the shit glass is fixed. I haven't personally looked through a newer 2.5-20. I hate shallow depth of field. I think the ruggedness is there. No experience with the 3-18 burris, but have 2 5-30. The glass in the 5-30 is the best you will find for...

    Will iosso and nylon brush ruin barrel?

    That freebore movement is actually very good for that many rounds if you measured on a clean (as seen in borescope, not on patch) barrel. Most people will measure a new barrel squeaky clean and then measure after they cleaned once at 500 rounds and shot 600 more. There's so much carbon in...

    Coup De Grace vs Nucleus or Origin

    I have done this A LOT and never had a nut move except initially. If they are going to move they will do it the first time you remove the barrel. After that, I have 223 barrels that have been moved dozens of times with no issue. I use heat to remove the nuts when the barrel is shot out and...

    Rifle Scopes Best PRS comp scope under 2000$?

    Xtr pro or xtr3 to save some more money. IMHO nothing touches them for the money.

    Help me decide budget long range scope

    I sent it in to have warranty work done and mentioned the glass being shit. It came back and we could see things with it my buddy couldn't see through his brand new g2 razor. It still had a lot of CA though. He sent the razor back because of this and was told it was in spec. I will not sell...

    Actual Accuracy of 22lr Premium Rifles

    Zeroing brand new rimx with sk standard+ at 50 yards. 5 shots in each corner. The fuck ups were mostly me. The group on the cardboard with the flyer was my daughter who was 8 at the time. Now that I have shot the gun more, the tight groups are pretty indicative of what the gun will do at 50...

    Do the pros use stainless steel pin/wet tumble or Dry Tumble?

    I dry tumble with rice. No dust, silky smooth bullet seating,and tight groups. I tried wet tumbling with pins. It works well if you have cases that are filthy. For precision rifle ammo it was not good. It was a shitload more work, the necks were sticky when seating bullets, and groups...

    Parallax going in and out of focus? Athlon Cronus G2

    This^^^^when it is cold out mirage from a hot barrel makes life a real bitch. It makes the image go in and out of focus. It is difficult to shoot long strings in cold because of the mirage. In warmer weather the effect is not as pronounced because the difference in temp between the barrel and...

    Opinions on a 223 boltgun build for my two boys

    If you can afford it, build a custom with an action that has swappable bolt heads and prefit barrels. Put a TT Diamond in it and drop it in a bravo. That gun can grow with them intovwhatever they need it to be. If they stop shooting, you have a pretty nice gun to use as a hunting or training...

    Scope Recommendations?

    I picked up an lht 4-22 off a prize table. The glass is very good. As good as my old amg. I have not had reliability issues with the lht, but had an amg I used to shoot matches for 4 years and had a shitload of reliability issues with it. The erector assembly came loose before a big match...

    Observation Optics for PRS

    Did the 15x forges go to shit? I have an early pair that are awesome. I have had them beside 15x Swaros dozens of times. The only time I have been able to see things with the swaros that I couldn't with the 15x forges was in heavy mirage. The build quality kind of sucks, and I have to...

    OAL gauge Vs. Factory ammo

    It is true that the measurements should be close. There are a lot of things that can effect distance to the lands. For them to be exactly the same, the comparator needs to be made from a chunk of the same barrel with the same reamer and the barrel needs to have very consistent bore and groove...

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    I'm not going to go watch all their videos, but I think the bullet switching is with 22 mag based on titles/pics. I could be wrong...I think he has access to a machine shop. Maybe he made some dies to squeeze the fuck out of the base of the bullet and get it into the case. I see a lot of...

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    No problems achieving it for that cost of ammo in centerfire. Also, when many are winning prs rimfire matches with $7/box ammo, why pay more? Also, a good lot of that $7 ammo will produce nearly .5 moa at 50 yds with a bipod and rear bag. No benchrest setup. My only point is that people...

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    I have not messed with Lapua much. There are cheaper options that shoot good enough in my rimx to win matches with. In fact, a good lot will shoot better than most PRS guys will claim to be the limits of accuracy for 22lr. Average lots shoot about what most guys say is "the best you can get"...
