    sharing rifles in competitions

    As someone who ROs some rifle matches in my area, I do exactly this I check the arriving squad(s) for youth shooters and see if they’re sharing gear. I also don’t want to stress out the parent for their turn on the rifle if they’re focused on an immediate turnaround to help prep the kid A lot...

    Why use 556 when Valkyrie is available ?

    Having BTDT with 224 Valkyrie, I’d build a 24”-26” 223 Wylde AR15 and keep it simple. There are other ammo choices besides Black Hills. I liked 224V...I learned a lot from it and now I’m moving on.

    Coyote rifle build.

    Curious about this. Are they trying to deter the taking of larger game at night illegally by limiting the caliber? Good luck with the build. I like watching coyote hunts on YT. We are starting to get them here where I’m at in SC but they’re still very sneaky. Trapping might be easier...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    One of these rifles is for sale on another forum, an FN SPR A2/A4 that has caught my eye...24” .308. Comes with a few spare mags and a low round count. Looks great

    Gunsmithing AR issue need some advice

    Only if you’re using a stock that exposes the end of the buffer tube. I put a light coat of lube on my spring and obviously storing rifles muzzle up in the safe, gravity pulls any excess down there. No issues with oil covered shirts. If it’s a concern, take a 7.62cal bore patch and put it in...

    How much optic is too mich for .22?

    My son’s .22 has my Aimpoint CompM2 on it. Just turned 7 and he has trouble closing one eye so I figured let him shoot with both and he absolutely tears it up with the aimpoint

    Mossberg or Savage for 224 Valkyrie?

    Big question, can you even find an MVP LR in stock? Not the black RPR looking abortion but the green stocked semi normal rifle looking version I had an MVP Varmint in 223. 24” 1:9 barrel. Besides the bolt that pretty loose when it was unlocked, that rifle would print anything below 69gr...

    PRS Talk Is anyone attending the Swamp Shootout at Jarrett Rifles?

    I had a great time I also learned that the velocity variation between lots of Varget is huge. I was about 1/2 to a whole Mil high, and god knows how much speed. I’d been shooting the one lot for so long so consistently I didn’t even think about it when I switched over. Whoops! ive got a...

    PRS Talk Is anyone attending the Swamp Shootout at Jarrett Rifles?

    I used a few calculators last night and entered in my known data and got some fairly close results. Enough that I feel comfortable with the estimations I made backed up by the ballistic calculators I’m in Squad one (only 2 of us in there lol). I’m a little over an hour away so unless something...

    PRS Talk Is anyone attending the Swamp Shootout at Jarrett Rifles?

    Bringing my 20” .223 and maybe my 224 Valkyrie. Jarrett posted on their IG that target distances were 300-1000yds I’ve confirmed my .223 on target out to 800 but beyond that, I’ve only got calculator data based on my BC and velocity info so I’ll be doing some recon by fire :LOL: I’m...

    PRS Talk Is anyone attending the Swamp Shootout at Jarrett Rifles?

    I signed up to shoot, description below from Practiscore. Would be cool to see anyone else there to put names/faces together and meet other locals etc. I’ve shot more 2-gun tactical style matches so this will be my first PRS type event. Looking forward to it, learning from it and all that...

    Best "combat" boots?

    Before they were No Go’d by the Army, I wore Nike SFB (Special Field Boot) Gen 1s as a drill sergeant for three years. They were like ninja boots: incredibly light, comfortable for all day spent on my feet on ranges, rucking, marching etc and the sole never wore out slick/smooth like many of the...

    Barricade stops

    Is size/profile any sort of requirement? Ive been using Arisaka’s MLOK Indexer (also make a picatinny version) in matches lately, and I like that its larger enough to act as a stop, but small enough to be out of the way (or used as a hand stop or finger index point when firing

    Cleaner Running Suppressor Options for Semi-Autos

    Hand loads or factory ammo? If so what type? I was getting a 24” 6ARC running for a friend of mine, and the Hornady white box (108gr ELD) was FILTHY stuff. Not sure what they’re using for a propellant but it was grimy and this was unsuppressed. I can only imagine with a can it would be way worse
