    PRS Talk Dope Talk Podcast

    Hey guys Phil Velayo and I started a podcast. Join us for a good conversation on all things precision rifle from an enthusiast and pro shooter perspective. We’re calling it Dope Talk and we’re hoping to have a bunch of dope conversations lol

    Yes. I don’t want to say what they quoted as I’m not sure if they’re ready to announce yet, but they did tell me. And it will come.

    What The Pros Use -Best Rifle Scope For Long Range Precision Shooting 01/20/25

    We spent a good amount of time talking about the unlocked 6-36. They know it. Spoke to them about reticles. The current TR2ID and some modifications for hopefully future reticles with some nice changes. I think the glass has always been really nice on the 6-36 line. We discussed price point but...

    What The Pros Use -Best Rifle Scope For Long Range Precision Shooting 01/20/25

    Funny S&B gets into the discussion. I sat with them Tuesday for about an hour and a half. They genuinely wanted to know how to get back into the top considerations for PRS and back into the top 5 most used. They actually seemed to take a lot of the feedback rather well.

    ZCO527 or 840 for PRS

    I’ve have multiple examples of both and my favorite that I shot most of last season with is the 8-40 1x reticle 10 mil turrets. I shoot normally around the 20-22x power and prefer it to the 527 in those mag ranges as it’s squarely in the middle as opposed to closer to max mag on the 527.

    For reference yes I do know yea exactly. Plus one sport to another people would say why invest so much in sport a vs sport b etc. people aren’t ready for that.

    I do think it would be interesting to see what happens if companies were to make deals transparent. I don’t think people/the sport is ready for that yet, but it would be interesting nonetheless.

    WTB 25 .257 blank

    Have a rock creek MTU 1:7 twist if you’re interested. 26” max finish length if I remember correct. Maybe longer would have to check.

    What The Pros Use -Best Rifle Scope For Long Range Precision Shooting 01/20/25

    I think most, if not all brands suffer from this at some point. People will always defend their purchase or fanboy over certain brands. The MK5 is a good scope for the money. I think the PR2 is excellent.

    I promise that the deal on its own is not enough to make people switch from TT/Vortex/NF if they didn’t already want to run ZCO or already think ZCO was better/gives them some sort of advantage anyway.

    What The Pros Use -Best Rifle Scope For Long Range Precision Shooting 01/20/25

    I’d say most of the top Leupold, Kahles, and Apex guys. ZCO, TT, don’t sponsor people. NF I think is just Austin. Could be a couple more but not a ton. They’ve really slimmed down their PRS team. Vortex I think is not a ton of people either. US Optics sponsors a couple people. Burris a few...

    Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

    PR2. I don’t remember exactly but I went down pretty far. Probably 13-14x ish and that definitely compromises the ability to see thick brush eat a 6mm bullet when you miss.

    Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

    For those wondering if it makes a difference in competition I’ll give you a measurable example I ran into. When I was testing and shooting the k328i I loved the extra FOV and ran that scope usually around 20-22x. It gave me 10+ mils of FOV. Closer to 12mils of FOV (per side of the stadia). The...

    Rifle Scopes New for 2025, the Kahles K540i

    I think Kahles would do well taking a page out of the ZCO playbook. ZCO is based in Austria as well but they have a full service center in Idaho. I sent one of my 840’s for the NLE conversion and had it there and back in about 5 days. When i sent a TT back to armament for service it I shipped it...
