    Rifle Scopes 2k to spend for glass

    Allow me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Sniper's Hide Post Exchange, where I can currently find an ATACR F1 5-25 for $2,200 that also includes Seekins rings. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/forums/optics-buy-sell-trade/ You'll find that if you browse often enough you can see...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares turret grease options

    Having dealt with the mush of the old style of turrets on an Argos BTR, you're going to just want to remove the o-ring and keep it in a baggy in your rifle case for if it rains. I used the Team Associated green slime on my turrets and it helped, but as mentioned by others the difference was...

    Rifle Scopes 2k to spend for glass

    If your budget was $1,500 sure. It's not in the same league as the Nightforce or Schmidt you can buy if you don't mind spending the full $2,000 and waiting a little bit to find a deal.

    PRS Talk PRS Scope question

    The Athlon scopes are a pretty good entry point for a PRS shooter. They have quality reticles with trees for holdover stages and the scopes themselves are solid. I would recommend either the Ares ETR or the Cronus BTR, but honestly I'd say go with the Ares ETR (the cheaper scope) because it has...

    Looking for Chassis Advice

    Just that they're even more expensive than the ACC once you add items to get comparable features, including an Arca rail. I'd much rather have the rail be integral, and the Whiskey-3 also doesn't have the same kind of weight flexibility as the other 2. It's like the MDT nickel and diming but...

    Looking for Chassis Advice

    I didn't realize I could get 30% off with a PRS membership, I already have one so that makes a huge difference actually. I didn't consider the Whiskey 3 mainly because I just don't have much experience with them at all.

    Looking for Chassis Advice

    I've held and messed around with both the BA Folder and the MPA ACC. I do prefer the MPA vertical grip but realistically both guns are comfortable for me to get behind. I just like that the MPA has a deeper groove for your thumb to sit inside of (or a larger shelf to sit on, in the case of the...

    Looking for Chassis Advice

    I'm looking to pick up a chassis to use in PRS matches next year and I've narrowed it down to 3 options but can't really seem to set one apart as the clear choice. I know the answer is probably that any of these options would work great, but where's the fun in that? I'll go into what I like and...

    2x 50% off cert

    Combine meaning 50% + 50% = 100%, or combine meaning 50% of 50% makes 25%?

    MasterPiece Arms Unveiling A New Chassis

    That's a ridiculous price if you're just getting a 3D printed grip. It sounds like they used 3D printing to make a mold for investment casting your grip though, or something like that. Just 3D printed the grip would cost maybe $15 in materials and whatever you valued ~3-4 hours of machine time...

    Hornady 140 Gr. American Gunner 6.5 Creedmoor Bullet Failure

    It's not though, look at the diagram again. The heart is lower and further back than the marked location. The marked location, however, will still drop animals dead without issue so long as you use a hunting bullet. It would shatter what is effectively the shoulder and thigh of the animal and...

    Timney Hit Trigger

    Only one I can find is that the Calvin Elite has an adjustment for sear engagement while the HIT makes no mention of having that type of adjustment capability. Beyond that they appear functionally identical. It has "updated geometry", but the adjustment range is the same and from what I've seen...

    Alpha Dasher brass

    Definitely interested in hearing from anyone who's received their Alpha brass. I'd be interested in swapping from BR to dasher for my next barrel if I didn't have to deal with the hassle of fireforming, since that's really the main reason I went with BR instead. So long as the brass is good to...

    Hornady 140 Gr. American Gunner 6.5 Creedmoor Bullet Failure

    Hollow point match bullet + bone = splat Soft point hunting bullet + bone = less splat, maybe Hollow point match bullet + lungs = dead Soft point hunting bullet + lungs = dead Two problems here, first being that you used a varmint/match bullet for hunting large game. The Hornady website...

    Rifle Scopes Red Dots and Astigmatism

    I have some minor astigmatism in my eye, but not terrible enough to make red dots ordinarily unusable. I have found, similar to others, that polarized glasses and lower brightness settings tend to help.

    Rifle Scopes Lightweight PRS Scope Options

    So long as you can cover the 10-15x magnification range the scope will honestly be everything you need for PRS, because PRS doesn't require high magnification. It's positional shooting while changing targets, you don't want to crank the zoom too high or you won't spot your trace or misses...

    .001 vs .002 neck tension...thoughts

    I run 2-3 thousandths of neck tension, but I don't know the exact number. I actually use a bushing die with an expander ball. The bushing I use would create ~6 thou of tension on its own, but then that's followed up with an expander ball 0.001" undersized. Leaves me with ~2-3 thou of neck...

    PRS Talk Safety on the trigger a requirement?

    That's what I was thinking. The safety on my match rifle and the safety on my O/U shotgun both have never been put back on after the first time I took it off. Well, I did have to put it back on for my O/U once because the first time I took it off I selected the wrong barrel to shoot first. My...
