    Im chopping my barrels... length?

    I'm picturing half these guys here with 32" barrels and loading to absolute max pressures because they're scared of leaving any velocity at all on the table. In reality as long as you have enough velocity at impact for your bullet to perform properly there's no real loss having to dial an...

    Should I Be Worried?

    I'm entering week 4 of waiting for an "in stock" prefit from them. This thread is not giving me hope.

    Dell Desktop Computer worth it?

    The significant improvement in integrated graphics are the Iris Xe graphics on the Intel side, and since the OP specifically called out video editing as a use case I'll point out the M1's graphics performance destroys even the 11th gen Iris Xe in actual video editing tasks. Here's a good...

    Dell Desktop Computer worth it?

    Just for the sake of discussion, consider a Mac Mini with the M1 chip. You mention your use cases are "some photo and video editing." Grab a M1 Mini with 16GB of RAM if you want a little more "future-proofing" though 8GB in the M1 Mini is more than fine (you can't really directly compare...

    PCC; Scorpion or Stribog?

    The huge aftermarket for the Scorpion is a clue, you don't see huge aftermarket for bad guns but you do see them for popular guns. Some of the stuff on the Scorpion does suck (grip, trigger) but that can be solved very easily and cheaply with aftermarket parts. There are smoother shooting guns...

    Precision Rifle Match Things that make you go hmmmm

    Back before the PRS when rifle matches were for fun and to get better at shooting it was common not only for the RO and spotters to help the shooter with calls, but people in the squad (and we're not talking jerseys and "teams") would often help each other as well.

    Competitive divisions that make sense

    I like it, and it fits all the criteria I was going for as far as simplicity to determine, not being based on a dollar figure, etc…

    Competitive divisions that make sense

    Thanks for the compliments on the system. As far as the gamer gun you defined above, I have mixed feelings on that. On one hand of course it’ll have an advantage over the “new guy” basic rifle that’ll also compete in this division, but on the other hand it would be wonderful to see people...

    Competitive divisions that make sense

    Thanks, I actually took this idea from some racing organizations where it’s possible that competitors will have vastly different car setups, but are competing within just a few categories so they use a points system that attempts to provide a balance by allowing one guy to run a turbo that costs...

    Competitive divisions that make sense

    That’s a very fair point, a buddy and I were discussing this yesterday and trying to think of ways to game it. Since this is really nothing more than a draft at this point, and since it follows the “simple to identify“ criteria we initially set out I’d just toss something in there adding points...

    Competitive divisions that make sense

    I tried to touch on the “why” of why I think a few different divisions helps in my long, rambling preface. Basically, in the past the difference in gear between established shooters and new guys was much smaller than it is today. Not that in the past you had many new guys showing up and winning...

    Competitive divisions that make sense

    I have a couple of ideas… one is that since it would be very quick to determine all of this stuff a RO could be assigned to go around and just show up at a stage and take a look at the gear. He wouldn’t keep re-checking stuff, but his arrival would be unannounced and he’d check those shooters...

    Competitive divisions that make sense

    NOTE: This explanation is long, but I included it because I wanted to give some background. Hopefully the background information explains where I’m coming from and what I’m trying to accomplish in the event that someone disagrees with my conclusion. No single system of determining divisions can...

    Preferred barrel blanks (the company)

    Thanks both of you guys. I’m right at the same time as Another Casual, so hopefully it’ll enter production soon. I’m happy to hear that their published lead times are accurate.

    Preferred barrel blanks (the company)

    Guys who have recently received prefits... when did you order them? I ordered a RPR prefit in the middle of December, so I still have a few weeks until I'm into the lead time they quoted. I'm just curious if the lead times they quote are accurate or not.

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Perez is linked to Carlos Slim. There's no shortage of money backing Perez.
