I would go with the Rail mounted on the PRS stock. Its hard to say which length mono pod to use. Everyone holds their rifle up differently. I would say go with what ever is best when shooting from a flat surface lying prone and measure it up and go from there. I use a rear bag as opposed to...
I got the 10x42 and I really like them and happy with them. Best bang for you buck. I have ranged out to over 1800 yards if you can rest them on something and its a large reflective surface. I use them for hunting and for ranging targets at the range.
I saw the Khales 1-6 at the Shot show it was sweet. I only got to look at it inside but I could tell it was top of the line and if you got the cash it seems like one of the best optics you could get in the 1-6 power range!
I know midway had a mil-surplus backpack that was a USMC pack. it was like 79$ or something i picked one up a few months ago. I just found the link
Military Surplus ILBE Rucksack Nylon Marpat
Check it out it looked brand new with I got it.
I have never had this problem. Yes my case has some scratches and dents but never had a problem with the guns inside. I also like the fact that I can keep it under 50 pounds with 2 rifles and some ammo in it.
I have 2 SKB cases and they have been on many flights with me one hunting trips and never had a problem with them. The pelican cases are much stronger I think but they also add so much more weight real quick.
