    Going to my first match - dumb question

    I see it very common to walk to the next stage if you’re up to shoot early. I see a lot of competitors from the stage behind us at our stage watching. Not saying it’s wrong or right but it can be common practice. Many times a shooter will help call shots until it is their time to shoot and once...

    Vortex Razor HD 27-60x85 w/ Reticle vs Leupold Mk4 vs LMSS2

    I’ve got a few LMSS2 and have had great luck with them. I use them from PRS to ELR and use them in King of 2 mile with no issues. I really like them as you can zoom way out. And the straight design makes finding targets quick and easy!

    Bartlein New Barrel Material 400MODBB

    3000ish I started with 2000-2500 and after a few did it I kept creeping up. But I’d be lying to say I wasn’t scared. I have come to the belief than most people don’t really burn barrels out like they think and if they are it must be due to a cleaning technique or something as well. I’ve got...

    Bartlein New Barrel Material 400MODBB

    I shoot a lot and put so much into all these matches and classes I don’t want the surprise. To be honest I felt wrong pushing the 6GT to 4300. I shoot for G.A Precision and I pulled it off after the match in the parking lot to give to George. I finished well with it and it never lost speed or...

    Bartlein New Barrel Material 400MODBB

    I currently have 6CM, 6.5 CM, 6.5 GT, 6.5 PRC, and .308 I have gone through 6 creed and 6 GT and I really can’t say how much longer they last as I don’t think any of them have ever really gone out. I do know how far they go though. I’ve got a 6 creed with 2500 on it and no issues, 6 GTs have...

    Not Bartlein Barrels

    This is so wrong, but why I'm so adamant on using a trusted and proven smith. I just built a batch of rifles for a project and made sure I went Bartlein. To be sure I got them from Bartlein themselves! I KNOW WHAT I GOT! You may can trick someone with the outside, but the magic is in the...

    Bartlein New Barrel Material 400MODBB

    I've gone through 5 of them so far. I have nothing bad to say about them. They shoot just as good, clean up quicker, and last longer. I've pulled my last 6 GT off at 4300 rounds and it never gave up the ghost. I've got a carbon wrapped one as well that is a hammer. All of my comp guns use them...

    PRS Talk Bullet trace and impact

    I think being able to see it is very important but normally you're not helping yourself trying to find it. Only a few situations mean I will actively look for it. That generally means a skylined target past approx 750 yards. I see a ton of trace inside 500 yards or so as the arc isn't very tall...

    Manners LRH Discussion

    Hey guys, I have the first full length arca rail for the LRH in hand and will start sharing stuff on it when I get back. Here at the PRS finale at the moment and the stock is waiting at the house! The one I'll be showing is cerakoted but all production models will be anodized and black to match...

    308 vs. 6.5 Creed in 16 inch lightweight bolt gun for mountain trekking

    I have both and love both. They seem to be pretty close in all honesty. I think for hunting I would stick to the 308 as you have a huge range of bullets to work with. In my 308 I shoot from 110s to 208s and you can find something that works pretty well. For the CM I usually just go 123/140ish...

    Short light suppressed whitetail hunting rifle

    I really dig the shorter sticks. I've built several all from 16.5" to 22 ish. I've seen alot of variance from them but love them all for what they are. So my goals for a rifle all start with what I want them to do. The shorter you go the less overbore you need (for the most part) I really dig...

    Going to my first match - dumb question

    And another thing. If you are done with your stage and up to shoot quick on the next one then go ahead and go to the next stage and just sit back and watch the shooters in the squad ahead of you. You should bring some glass to watch and get a leg up on what is going on. Don't hesitate to tell...

    Going to my first match - dumb question

    First off the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. I'll be happy to help. You will have time. For small squads or if you're up early it may go quick but you have time. Here are some tips that may help. Get the other things done before. When you leave a stage go ahead and load your...

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    It will all depend. I did alot of ETA requests today for guys at 3-4 months who's orders are already hitting the finish room. During the craze we accumulated a hefty backlog but we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. A lot of orders are moving through quick. Email me your order number...

    Looking for training class

    We offer it in Kansas City, I know that's a little drive but wanted to offer. We do it at G.A. Precision range as I shoot on their team. I am discussing doing a 3 person class there in St Louis but not sure the venue the guys wanted to hold it at (They reached out to me about it) They may be...

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    Hey guys, just popped in here and see alot of y'all waiting. Things got absolutely crazy this last year but that's no excuse. Whether it's raw materials, labor, or hardware piled on top of wild demands and orders it got out of hand. If anyone would like for me to look at their order please...

    To bed or not to bed Manners LRH

    I've put about a dozen of my personal rifles in mini chassis and have done several in chassis that we bedded. All of my personal comp guns are just bolted up in the chassis with no issues. If I thought I would get some added accuracy I would happily bed them but I like the fact I can swap stuff...
