    Shot Show 2018: what do you want to see?

    I'd like to see any new Thermal weapon optic that is in the Trijicon Mark III 60mm realm.

    260 Remington build completed!!

    You might want to flip the bipod around.

    First build. Looking for input / help.

    Most guys in PRS run a single stage. It's personal preference but why pull the trigger twice?

    $2500 for a new rifle

    In that price range I'd take a look at the new Seekins Havak. http://www.seekinsprecision.com/havak-bolt-action-rifle-3.html

    PRS Rifle Build

    Either product is top tier. Surgeons just flat out work. If we are talking PRS Finale a Surgeon 6.5x47 won. I shot the match too and my action ran flawlessly all year. Hell I currently have multiple Surgeon actions and have sold others to friends who still run them and I've never once had any...

    Pick one with about 0.135" of Freebore.

    PRS Rifle Build

    Surgeon 591R and Surgeon bottom metal. In a Bartlein put 37.0 Varget under that 140 Hybrid and I'd bet a large sum it will shoot.

    Impact Precision Action?

    The stock is lighter because it is CF. The button I can't recall anything funky. The action is great, much like the Surgeon's I am more accustomed to and I would pick both before Defiance. Just personal preference as they are all top tier. If I got away from Surgeon actions Impact would be my...

    Sharing an MPA Chassis between two BA's

    If you leave the scope attached to the action and just pull the BA out of the stock then put it back in it stays zeroed. It's actually quite impressive.

    PRS Which barreled action?

    If you ever decide to upgrade do yourself a favor and sell what you have and buy a custom action. They are so much more smooth with less issues than a Remington. As far as brakes go I swapped from APA to Area 419 and I like it better. Use a brake and the longer barrel the better. If you decide...

    6.5 4s/PRC vs 300wm for PRS ELR

    Taz, I have switched to the Hellfire for my normal match rifles. If I were to buy a brake for my ELR it would be the Sidewinder but I have no actual experience with one yet.

    6.5 4s/PRC vs 300wm for PRS ELR

    The match the last two years was won with a Surgeon Rifle Chambered in 300 Norma Mag. Seeing impacts is key. The targets this year were further than last year. I think the closest was 600 something. I didn't shoot it myself, but I did get the info about it from the MD himself and the longest...

    ***Sponsored Shooters Insight***

    1. I didn't and I will never ask to be sponsored. It's just not me. Everyone I represent has approached me. Be a nice person, finish well and sooner or later Karma will catch up to you. 2. Quicker service. 3. Depends on company. 4. Depends on company. Some deals are one off like a brake or a...

    Impact Precision Action?

    This is a beautiful rifle I won built on an Impact action. Haven't shot it yet. 6mm Creedmoor.

    Need prs action help

    Very good advice throughout this thread. In theory it's faster, in reality it's a mute point. I run a 90 degree and I can out run the vast majority of people on timed stages. If you decide to go with a Surgeon I can help answer any questions you may have and get you a discount.

    7 Saum freebore for short action

    You chew up room in the case where powder can go. Hence, less speed, possibly to the point where the greater speed of a 168 might overtake the BC and lower speed of a 180. Every barrel is different so which is best would really depend on his barrel and his chamber. No doubt a 180 will come out...

    7 Saum freebore for short action

    I can tell you with a 0.180" FB it puts the base of the bearing surface of a 180 VLD at the neck shoulder junction and you are kissing the lands. This is at 3.030" OAL so too long for a SA. So I don't see how a 180 Hybrid is going to be perfect with only 0.050" FB. WIth that short of a FB it...

    Jewell trigger issue

    Flush the crap out of it with either lighter fluid (Ronsonol or BBQ) or brake cleaner (non-chlorinated).
