    Rifle Scopes Where to start with an optic for my precision rifle?

    Thanks on the spotter advice. I was thinking for more when shooting alone at paper but, it's good advice. And probably a waste at first. Even if I do decide to add one I'll just just go with an inexpensive Celestron now that you mention it's not that useful

    Rifle Scopes Where to start with an optic for my precision rifle?

    The S&B is what I want (i think) but there is also the aspect of I have completely ruined my budget with purchasing one. I'm completely new to this (other than shooting a bit of NRA high power) so I need lots of expensive stuff... ammo and components, bipod and spotting scoppe... all for...

    Value precision rifle setup

    Deposit placed for a J. Hancock. Now for the optic :) I'm not sure that it matters that the rifle is setup for Production PRS, but I migjt as well just go with it. Optics under $2k msrp to stay legal, where do I start looking?

    Value precision rifle setup

    If it was $500, I would think it was a waste... for $150, or the given deal at the moment that only add $50 to the cost of the barreled action... seems awesome to me

    Well, I don't have a specific "need" for any of this, it's just a hobby and sport to me. I think the idea behind the BarLoc is cool and at $50 it's less than an action wrench, so why not? If it's that much easier to order a barrel in another caliber ( 6mm dasher) then hell why not!

    Value precision rifle setup

    So, I'm going with Patriot Valley Arms. I dont think there is much around my area for PRS sectioned events (central mass) so I'm not sure I have to purchase the John Hancock. I could instead purchase the Nucleus Barrels action instead and add the BarLoc and then decide on whatever for a...

    I was too until I started reading here... now im not sure what to think! The optics for of the conversation is even more foreign to me than the rifle. Essentially, I don't know, or shoot, with anyone with ANY of these mid to high end optics. So, it's throwing down between $1500 and $3k and...

    So, the rifle is almost 100% decided... Now, the glass question will begin. :)

    No, sorry, I wasn't asking specifics... more just hoping you have laid yourself a good base, because I believe you are on to something.

    Most of what you just said is out of my league frankly. I've shot NRA high Power - service rifle years ago, but it's was all MOA click adjustments of 1/4 at know distances. I never really ever had to think much after dope was established at each firing line. Where can I go to learn more...

    New 'production' rifle from PVA - J. Hancock

    Sorry for my lack of clarity, I actually mean availability and end user replacement? Can a barrel be purchased direct through PVA and user installed vs requiring a gunsmith to fit? (Again, I'm sorry for the stupid question)

    Value precision rifle setup

    So after a bunch of reading here and elsewhere and getting my hands on some of the firearms mentioned I'm going to focus in on Tikka T3x Tac a1 = $1550 Tikka T3x CTR + KRG Bravo Chassis = $1205 And the wild card PVA " John Hancock" = $2000 + The PVA really has me excited, but the...

    New 'production' rifle from PVA - J. Hancock

    Man, I'm brand new to this and looking for my first rifle... This thing make me excited! The "custom" aspect of a small builder I don't know is a little scary but it seems as though I m the only one here that doesnt know PVA. Not knowing how long i would have to wait vs picking up the phone...

    Value precision rifle setup

    So it seems real world pricing is more like Tikka T3X CTR 24" 6.5 $815 rifle + $389 stock for $1204 Or T3x Tac A1 for $1620 The interesting thing with going with the CTR / KRG Bravo is for around $2k i could get (2) KRG Bravo, a CTR and a Tikka T1x to drop in the second Bravo. That frankly...
