    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    Timing this for the different units is part of my matrix also, but still not complete. Observationally, the updated firmware on the LabRadar LX's are the fastest I've witnessed, Athlons behind them, and the Garmins slightly slower, but all of them have processing delays. I'm kinda curious...

    Long range build advice

    Chambered in any magnum cartridge, this kinda looks like a PRS rifle built in an ELR Light Division cartridge. It will be a train wreck for PRS shooting, and will give up performance to proper light rifles in ELR.

    Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?

    Gun mount vs. static (tripod) makes a difference: Chronograph Comparison: Gun Mounted vs. Static In preliminary testing, in preparation for a larger scale analysis, I haven't been able to as definitively promote positional sensitivity for any "reasonable" static position or direction nearby...

    20" barrel 6 Dasher/BRA/BR?

    I put a 26” Dasher M24 into a Manners G2 Compact stock a few years ago for my son (years before the Nightstalker came out), he was 9 at the time and ~65lbs. Total weight was ~17lbs. Even with an Omega 300 on the end for suppressor only matches, he manages the rifle on his own. Finale in ID last...

    Sturm Ruger has bought Anderson Manufacturing

    I put the Bowen DX front sight base with a Dawson Tritium dot blade and MeproLight tritium rear on my Toklat. Love the set up.

    20" barrel 6 Dasher/BRA/BR?

    EH... A lot of stuff can be fun to use for matches, but a 20 inch "anything" wouldn't be on my short list. Balance would be my biggest concern for a competition rifle. A lot of us are shooting 26-28" tubes with 6-8" cans and not having issues with maneuverability - and there remains good reason...

    Sturm Ruger has bought Anderson Manufacturing

    If you're "ignored" - he can't see your posts, but you can still see his. You're not "blocked" on forums like you can on facebook where the blocked person can't see what someone posts, AND vice versa.

    Sturm Ruger has bought Anderson Manufacturing

    Ruger’s announcements directly stated that they bought the manufacturing assets, are discontinuing the Anderson brand, and will be using the facilities and existing workforce to expand their own brand production.

    Sturm Ruger has bought Anderson Manufacturing

    Something was for sale, someone bought it. In the grand scheme of things, I guess I’m glad Ruger bought it and is intent to continue operations using the existing workforce. I’ve read a few posts online speculating as to why Anderson was in a position to sell, but in the end, it doesn’t matter...

    20" barrel 6 Dasher/BRA/BR?

    What are you trying to accomplish with the rifle? I assume since a 20” suppressed Dasher is an option, this isn’t any kind of competition rifle, so sure, 20” makes as much sense as anything. I have a 10” 243win and a 15” 6 creed. I had a 14” 300 wsm for a while, and had a 11” 7 BR. All of it works.

    Precision Rifle Gear Large Game Changer Bag for Hunting, which fill?

    I have 2 OG's, a Schmedium, and a Pint Size, and more Wiebad Fortune Cookies in 4 different sizes. The OG's are bigger than I want for anything, and I personally don't really get along as well with the Schmedium as I do with the Pint Size or the MFC's (similar size to the Pint Size, smaller than...

    Precision Rifle Gear Chronograph Testing: Gun Mount vs. Static

    I have a LOT of data out there, and a lot more coming, which illustrates differentiation in the readings between some of these units. For example - without intending to distract from the purpose of this specific thread about the mounted vs. static influence on velocity reading - here are a few...

    Precision Rifle Gear Large Game Changer Bag for Hunting, which fill?

    I carry an MFC in cordura (wish it was waxed canvas) with polypropylene pellet fill (wish it was spexlite). I do have a spexlite filled, waxed canvas OG, but I don't really think I'd want to carry the extra bulk - it carries like it's twice as big as the MFC, and generally just isn't THAT much...

    Precision Rifle Gear Chronograph Testing: Gun Mount vs. Static

    TLDR Version: This is one installment of several experiments I'm doing with various chronograph models, specifically testing the difference in velocity readings when mounting the chronographs to the rifle vs. mounting on a static fixture beside the gun, such as the supplied tripods. The...

    Info on weibad bags

    The Tater Tot is a Mini Fortune Cookie which is wider. Same side panels, but wider body strip. It wraps up and around the stock a little more than the MFC when laying mouth down, and the TT offers a little taller height to fill obstacle gaps a little more than the MFC. Personally, I carry a...

    Garmin Xero C1 Case?

    I use the Evergreen/Seahorse #56 with pluck n' pull foam, it fits my arca mount, the unit, tripod, card style battery pack, and charging cable. Same unit Scheels sells. Same case fits the Athlon Velocity Pro. The #57 model is an inch deeper and fits the LabRadar LX with the same accoutrements...

    Precision Rifle Gear Accutac WB-4 vs Atlas bt10 for prone shooting

    What can be done is a wider discussion than what is best. We can shoot prone from any bipod which is sufficiently strong to support the rifle - BUT - when we look at evidence to promote which bipods are defensibly better than others, the Accu-tac runs away from the Atlas. The WB-4, WB-5, and...

    ELR/PRS Sight in

    Did you happen to notice the title of the thread…? and the title of the sub-forum we’re in…? Sure seems strange the OP titled the thread “ELR/PRS sight in” if they weren’t asking about ELR/PRS…

    PRS Talk Dual Prs rifles? Same? Different?

    I’m an enforcer in the Midpack Mafia, #leftedge4lyf, so what I might do if I were a top end shooter vs. what I do now might be different. I have 3 PRS rifles and a 4th half done now, and have swapped around a few optics, stocks, chassis’, and triggers among all of them, and can shoot the same...
