    Picking a first PRS two day match

    I’m in NY on the CT border, so sheepdog is my usual range for matches along with granby in MA but there new laws have made it a little sketchy since they are so ambiguous. I’m willing to travel if I could get some people local to me that are willing to drive to matches that are with in 8 or so...

    Staball match in 223

    I want to try the 77 TMK’s since I’ve got the room to play around with since my current loaf is 2.495 and the sierra stuff seems to not care about jump. Plus I could use them for precision gas gun stuff if I wanted to.

    Staball match in 223

    Solid speed, I loaded up from 24.7-25.9 after seasoning the barrel and was getting solid speed with low sd/es. Then I tested to see what once fired brass would do from 25.6-26.2 and got higher sd/es which I found a little weird.

    I think that’s one of the threads I saw with the random smattering on 223

    Staball match in 223

    Does anyone have experience with Staball Match in 223 with 75gr class bullets in a bolt gun? I know there are a ton of recipes with varget but haven’t really found anything for Staball besides a random post here and there.

    Picking a first PRS two day match

    If you were shooting your first two day match which would you choose… war rifles shootout or sheepdog showdown? Both are about the same distance from me to travel to and both have solid reputation for being a good time, the showdown “qualifier” match and the shootout standard two day. I haven’t...

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    USPS is a nightmare to deal with in regards to insurance claims, especially anything firearms related items. I shipped a stock back to manners through them a while ago and the clerk at the counter told me “good luck if this get lost or damaged, because we won’t cover it”. I also got a whole...

    .223 Rifle Build

    Give northland shooting supply a shout, they might have something on the shelf or have something coming in and you can check out preferred barrel blanks. I’d personally go with an origin just because you can get the HLR lug for it and that opens up the available to run TL3 shouldered barrels.

    What is your idea of a perfect PRS rifle build?

    So I’ve been doing the whole barricade benchrest since day one, I need to look cool in photos with the newest wize bang gear instead of practical gear.

    .223 Rifle Build

    It’s pretty hard to beat the origin and prefit combo these days. I’ve got a spare 223 barrel for my TL3 and grabbed the hunts recoil lug for my origin so I can have an other 223 rig to use as a loaner for new shooters.

    .223 Rifle Build

    I’m a sucker for the stuff from zermatt arms, especially the origin for its price point the offer it at. I like feature set it offers with the ease of swapping out bolt heads, control round feeding and the fact that I can take savage barrel nut barrels, origin shouldered or with swapping to the...

    .223 Rifle Build

    I threw a criterion 223 barrel on my TL3 and it’s been an absolute pleasure coming off my 308 in the same setup. It’s currently a Zermatt TL3, Accurate mags, 26” 7wt criterion with there match chamber sitting in either a PRS1 or TCS depending on what I’m using it for and chucks 75ELD-Ms at 2920

    I like the sikes rail they did with the m-lok, wish they offered it as an option on the normal TCS

    New Manners TCS-MAX

    Think it’s worth getting over the standard TCS since you’ve got both? I wanted to get another TCS to have twins between my CF and RF before they released the max. Now with the max being more nose heavy it caught my attention but the price jump and needing bottom metal are kinda off putting.
