    Sig Kilo 6k HD

    Anyone have a lead on a good tripod mount for these? I have an athlon mount, but it's not a great fit as it's a bit wide to fit between the barrels.

    Newbie Asks: Why do you say the Production (Rifle) Division is a Joke?

    I wish more of that sponsorship money could turn into incentives for people to shoot the divisions. I'm only shooting regionally, and I've only seen one person in the last two years compete in Production (he won, obviously), and all he got out of it was a trophy and stunted scores. If there were...

    Newbie Asks: Why do you say the Production (Rifle) Division is a Joke?

    This. If you're shooting gas gun, tac, or production and you're not shooting an MPA production gun, you're just handicapping yourself, and you're not going to learn the game as fast.

    Newbie Asks: Why do you say the Production (Rifle) Division is a Joke?

    Winning a division only gets you a trophy, right? You don't even get to walk prize tables any sooner than anyone else, right? NF doing the PRS Skills stage sponsorship with a prize is interesting. I think if we had actual, predictable prizes for classes at the end of a season along with more...

    Leica PRS vs Vortex Gen 3 Razor 6-36x

    These are all valid points. Eyebox on my USO FDN is about the same as the Razor, because it's optimized for FOV. XTR Pro has a more forgiving eyebox, but the picture starts to pick up CA and other stuff if you're not centered. I'd take a bigger FOV and tighter eyebox in most cases, because my...

    Leica PRS vs Vortex Gen 3 Razor 6-36x

    I'm actually not too impressed with the eyebox on the Razor 3. Seems a bit shallow to me, especially compared with an XTR Pro.

    Which action in 2024?

    Some people have Defiances that have enough clearance, and they seem to work great. I think you have to ask for it when it's made though, and know what you're asking for, which... who's going to do that with their lead times? 3/4 of the Defiances I've messed with in Utah felt like someone had...

    There's also a few that get completely screwed by it. *cough* *cough* defiance tenacity *cough* *cough*

    Which action in 2024?

    I'm currently running a TL3 and Lone Peak Fuzion on my guns. The Fuzion "feels" more solid, and just has momentum when working it fast. The TL3 feels a bit smoother when cycling actual bullets, but less so when doing dry fire. The CRF just works so nicely, vs the Fuzion needing to slip over the...

    6.5x47 Lapua

    Looking at 4Dof's doppler data, and comparing a 153 A Tip @2600 to a 140 Hybrid @2780, you might see a .1 difference in wind drift up to 12mph wind at 90° until you get to about 1000 yds, and which point it turns to .2 140 HYBRID @2780 FPS 153 A-TIP @2610 FPS Not sure if the juice is...

    6.5x47 Lapua

    Watching this. Seems like most data is from 10 years ago, when anything under 2950 was considered unacceptable. "But the speed wasn't there" is the most commonly seen phrase.

    Vista (Revelyst) announces layoffs, including Bushnell

    You're not wrong. I mean, up through 2023 - let me say that again, TWENTY TWENTY THREE - Leupold was still selling a 3x erector scope for $800+. Leupold is stuck in the small erector world, and it doesn't matter to them I guess, because their brand name loyalty does all the heavy lifting...

    Vista (Revelyst) announces layoffs, including Bushnell

    Do a voice over of this, with some blue grass guitar in the background and try running it as an ad. I don't think you'll sell many. "Weight? Do more curls and bench“ Remember when the mk5 2-10 launched and a bunch of people were say leupold had totally missed the mark with a heavy 24 oz scope...

    New Kahles K328i

    This. I mean, why not just update an optic instead of reinvent the wheel? Rolling out a 3-18/5-25 with a better eyepiece would have been sufficient to have my attention (but not really because SKMR). I wish more companies would iterate on current designs rather than try and launch a huge...

    Burris XTR Pro 🇺🇸

    It's a PRS scope. With targets being 2 moa (.6 mil) wide, if you burn one just off the edge of the plate (pretty darn common), your correction to center is about .3ish, or if you really want to favor the other side of the plate and want to avoid gusts blowing you off again, .5. Hold over one...

    US Optics dropped a new T series scope (Chinese) for hunting crossover stuff. 3-18 power. I haven't seen the specs on it though.

    American made mid/high scopes

    I've owned several USO FDNs, the ATACR 7-35, and have spent a bit of time with the Burris XTR Pro and MK5 on buddies' PRS guns. In my personal opinion, overall USO FDN > Burris XTR Pro >= ATACR 7-35 >>> MK5 for a PRS use case. After spending a decent amount of time behind a USO FDN, XTR Pro...
