    Low Budget / Redneck Rifle Weights

    Hey all. I'm just getting started in PRS Rimfire. I'm new to this game, but have been shooting competitively in various games for 40+ years. One thing I've learned is that in the beginning you don't know what you dont' know. You also don't know what works for you. I'm trying to figure...

    Larue MBT on sale

    I'm a small time 07 FFL. Back when LaRue was selling the ultimate upper kits, I bought a few to sit on since I had a feeling this couldn't last. It didn't, and I sold the kits locally and assembled them with lowers that either customers provided or bought from me. I have had 2 out of 5 or 6...

    Larue MBT on sale

    I've never had trouble with RRA and have had trouble with LaRue. I've got Geissele on my high volume "blaster" guns, where I may put 500 rounds down a gun in a day. But all the occasional use guns where I just want a decent 2 stage trigger, the RRAs have worked great, much better than the...

    Larue MBT on sale

    I've found the Rock River Arms varmint trigger to be better than the LaRue. I've owned 3 of the laRues and 2 of them had very distracting creep. The RRAs are consistently good.

    Trigger selection questions.

    Hi all. I'm ready to purchase a trigger for my PRS Rimfire rifle. It's a 700 clone so I have a lot of choices. The first question is single vs 2 stage. I've got a lot of experience shooting both kinds and appreciate the benefits of each. On my service rifle platform with a minimum weight...

    What is your most used pot meat tool/s

    I'm talking about home here. I have a gas stove and really like how the heat wraps up the sides of the AllClad saucier pans. I've got two of the 2 quarts and use them every day. https://www.all-clad.com/d3-stainless-3-ply-bonded-cookware-saucier-with-lid-2-quart.html

    Balancing Bergara B-14R in KRG X-Ray or MDT XRS

    If you are willing to drill some holes, this copper bar from Amazon is $19 and weighs 14 oz. I've got this in the space between the Bergara's barrel and the MDT XRS Forend. Copper is an excellent material for a weight. It's denser than either steel or brass and is very easy to work with...

    DO i really need a Kestrel?

    I've got an old Kestrel that just does atmospherics, no ballistics and have been paying attention trying to guess things for years. Whenever I get to the range and look at unknown distance targets I try to guess the distance before I point my rangefinder at it. I also try to guess the density...

    KST1000 Initial Impressions

    I got to see the Kestrel in the flesh for the first time at a PRS Rimfire match a couple of weeks ago. I own the CED and the Pact. As far as I'm concerned the PACT has always been the king of shot timers when it comes to practicing on your own. The belt clip, big button, and top mounted...

    Why Gravity Ballistics?

    Hi all, over the last few days, I've been reading up on this as best I can. I'm pretty confident that I know how the math works. I've been running numbers with the chart presented in this post. https://www.snipershide.com/precision-rifle/alternate-range-weaponized-math/ However, I still...

    Why Gravity Ballistics?

    Is there a way to work this system with a 50 yard zero? I’ve just been using that for so long, it’s instinctive. Also, it seems to be what you zero at at all the competitions. Thank you all for your wisdom. Like I have said in other posts, I am a fairly experienced competitive shooter, but...

    NRL22 - New Hampshire - It's happening, you coming?

    Ha ha, I don’t think there’s much chance of that. I shot my first PRS rimfire last week, in upstate New York. It went about as planned. I shot reasonably well inside 200 yards but was nowhere near the 260 yard target Because of my past experience with DPA, I was fine shooting on the clock. I...

    Why Gravity Ballistics?

    Would it be correct to say that this method assists you in interpolating your dial up when you have actual measurements at several points? A separate question, but with respect to long range 22 long rifle, are there multipliers available in 5 yard increments? Or can they be derived?

    Why Gravity Ballistics?

    I know the physics doesn't change, but I just want to confirm that this works with .22 LR?? Thanks

    Rifle Scopes Does anything rival the Burris XTR3 for the money? If so, what ?

    I've got an Athlon Ares 4.5-30 x 56 and a Sightron S3. The Sightron has great glass and seems to track well. But above 16x I find the eye box to be very very small. It may be because its only a 50mm objetive and the exit pupil is smaller at a given magnification than the Athlon. But it...

    Has anyone dealt with Bulk Munitions?

    Hi all, I was on a CZ457 group and I posted that I was looking for a CZ MTR barrel. A gentleman replied that is company was offering a great deal on a barrelled action. It seems too good to be true. Has anyone dealt with them? Thanks, Don...
