    Tried my first PRS match this summer...

    My first match (NRL22X) was at MKM. Great place and great folks. I wish I could go more often, but that 600mi. drive is not something I can do all the time.

    Your advice is needed, please... It's been 25 years since I shopped for a scope...

    I REALLY recommend against a TD as an only .22 if "long range" is involved and that's coming from a guy with a tricked out TD with a Volquartsen barrel. If I had to have a do everything 10/22, I would go with a 10/22 LVT (light varmint target)($300), send it to Randy at Connecticut Precision...

    NRL22 - North East, What happened to CEATS?

    Maybe @b6graham has some intel on this. He's usually pretty wired in on the New England scene.

    Winter Shooting Gear

    Marino wool 125 weight top and bottom, Synthetic pants, Outdoor Research Ferossi top, and a basic Goretex shell. For an additional layer, any grid poly top and a marino wool beanie. For wool, I prefer Minus 33 over Smartwool. In various layers, that should cover 90 degrees down to freezing...

    Help with old chest rig ID

    I had zero luck on this one. Whatever it was, Eagle did not make many of them, there isn't any on the surplus market like the Rhodie Rig (RRV). Makes sense as there wasn't many 7.62 shooters downrange, especially early on. It could have even been a prototype that never went to full production...

    Help with old chest rig ID

    Maybe an early version of the Multi Mission Rig, before they MOLLE'ed the hell out of them. It also sounds similar to the Blackhawk Low Profile Chest Rig. That was my preferred rig when driving a bunch. Both of them are from about that time frame.

    Issues with Bergara B14 22 trainer and Suppressor

    I run a Volquartsen carbon barrel (which is also a carbon sleeved pencil barrel) on my 10/22 TD. I get about a 3/4 MOA shift in POI when I run a Dead Air Mask on it, but there is no discernable change in accuracy. I just finished wrenching on my BIL's Bergara BXR with a carbon barrel, I may take...

    PRS Rimfire and NRLX22 in GA ?

    Listen to the monthly NRL22 podcast. Not only is it a great view of the behind the scenes of planning events, but it is a who's-who of the NRL22 community. These are the folks that can make things happen or at least point you in the right direction for finding, creating, or encouraging others to...

    Suppressors 556 can for 22lr?

    Ditto. I am not running rimfire through a can I can't break down. The Paladin seems like a good compromise, but it is just that, a compromise. Twice as heavy as Dead Air Mask and five times heavier than a Q Erector. My (limited) understanding of suppressors is that centerfire leaves mostly...

    Precision Rifle Gear custom gun case for the granddaughter

    Eylar and Pelican make pistol cases in light blue, but I could find no rifle cases. How about light blue foam cut out for the carbine?

    Odds of getting a B14r with FTEX and FTEJ issues

    Even if you buy a Bergara with the issues, the fixes are easy, inexpensive, and well documented. They are still a lot of gun for the price.

    Setup For PRS?

    Stop listening to us on the internet and go to a match, you have more than enough to show up and shoot. Watch what others have and do and ask a lot of questions. Everyone's specific needs and preferences will be different. And like Mikeshaw2 said, most folks at a match are more than happy to...

    Mauser 98 actions

    My father spent his whole life stripping down military Mauser 98's and sporterizing them, including making stocks from blanks. It made since back then because surplus Mausers were like $30 a piece. I didn't realize the scope of how many until I went to take care of his estate. I now have a LOT...

    Suppressors perhaps i have been thinking incorrectly on 22lr supressor

    If that Specwar can isn't user serviceable, I would not shoot rimfire out of it. Rimfire ammo is far too dirty to just have build up in a sealed suppressor. That is a big reason you can dig the guts out of a rimfire can, to clean the lead, lube and powder out every few hundred rounds...

    Precision Rifle Gear 2022 Hearing Protection - Which Ones???

    My whole family uses Sordin Supreme Pro with the gel pads, working great over the past 3-4 years. The wife subjects hers' to a lot of indoor pistol use. I would be interested in hearing from users of Safariland's DEHP or even the Liberators. Mil/LEO discount would them very attractive price-wise.
