    First competition tomorrow. No software, minimal DOPE.

    Well, the competition went well. I made one chart with both my calculated DOPE and the chart in the link provide above. My actuals matched the numbers for Aguila at 100 and 200 pretty close. So I used that data and trimmed it a bit. This is the chart I used. My data was at a density...

    First competition tomorrow. No software, minimal DOPE.

    Thanks all. The course of fire for the match is out and 5 yard increments would be good. I'm shooting Eley Tenex because it's always shot well through the rifle and is available. It may not be the best but I know it's good out to 200 yards. It's good to know that the inputs may be off. If...

    First competition tomorrow. No software, minimal DOPE.

    Hmm. It looks like snipers hide gravity ballistics might work. I love to give money to people I like. Thoughts

    First competition tomorrow. No software, minimal DOPE.

    Hi all. I'm going into my first PRS 22 match unprepared. I've got some match experience doing other things, but know enough to know that I don't know. I normally try to begin shooting a given gun game with basic equipment so I can focus on fundamentals. In this case that means a...

    Is Arken CS non-existent?

    I just posted about an amazing customer service experience I had with Athlon. Their stuff is also high value and seems to work well. Granted it was a shipping problem, not a product problem. But I was able to speak with an empowered, empathetic and professional person within 30 seconds of...

    Athlon Optics EXCELLENT Customer Service - makes Lemonade out of Lemons.

    Hi all, I just thought I'd share a customer service experience I just had with Athlon Optics. I posted earlier this week asking about the quality of the product and explaining that I was able to get some excellent deals on their optics. I decided to buy two of their scopes through an...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR vs everything else for PRS rimfire.

    Steve, Thank you. I think the .2 mil hashes off the center are worth having a very marginally larger dot. Great point.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR vs everything else for PRS rimfire.

    Now we're splitting hairs. AFPRS1 or AfPRS6 reticle. The S1 has more numbers and a .03 moa center dot. The S6 has fewer numbers and a .05 moa center dot. I'm thinking the smaller center dot

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR vs everything else for PRS rimfire.

    Thank you. You have confirmed what I suspected. I have a Sightron with a dot reticle and also prefer that. I can also get the Athlon Midas TAC 5-25x56 for only $385. Is it worth spending the extra $200 for the Ares ETR??

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares ETR vs everything else for PRS rimfire.

    Hi all, I've been looking for a $600 ish scope to get me started on PRS Rimfire. I'm a pretty experienced shooter, but long range and PRS in particular are pretty new to me. In short, I know enough to know that I don't know much. I was considering the Arken EP-5 5-25X56 FFP as well as the...

    Looking for chassis or stock Left Hand 457

    **UPDATE** I spoke to Craig. He apologized profusely for not getting back to me. Like others have said, he is a one man shop. He sounds like a very nice guy who is blessed with too much business. I'd prefer to give my business to someone like him. So I'll be ordering today.

    Looking for chassis or stock Left Hand 457

    Do any of you have any feedback on the responsiveness of Craig at PDC Custom? I sent him an email 6 days ago and haven't heard back. I've got some questions to bounce off him and would like to hear back before I order. Thanks, Don Mei

    Looking for chassis or stock Left Hand 457

    Hi all, I'm considering buying a LH CZ 457 to build a reasonably priced PRS style .22. Unfortunately I can't find anyone who makes a left handed stock for it that includes adjustable comb, adjustable LOP and the ability to cant the recoil pad. Companies that DO NOT make anything like this...

    PRS Talk Manfrotto 055

    Or, after doing some research, should I just buy a Leofoto LS-364C carbon tripod with an LH40 ball head and arca clamp for $290 and just be done with it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/195792003317 I realize that if I really get into this, I may want to upgrade. But realistically if I can sell...

    PRS Talk Manfrotto 055

    Hi all, I'm easing my way into all the stuff I'm going to need to shoot rimfire PRS in the spring. I'd like to get a tripod and am considering a Manfrotto 055. I used them many years ago when I did more photography and remember them as very sturdy and high quality. They are very reasonably...
