    Precision Rifle Gear Budget Tripod review.

    Ball head is set up for arcs rail. I don’t know of a ball head that covers both. There are picatinny to arca adapters out there if you don’t already run an arcs rail.

    Precision Rifle Gear Budget Tripod review.

    These might make decent lightweight hunting setups which is what they were intended for. However for shooting with arca systems under 20plus pound rifles in PRS style competition they wont quite cut it. The ability to switch between an optics platform like a tac plate, straight to an arca rail...

    Precision Rifle Gear Budget Tripod review.

    I wanted to do a quick review on a budget tripod option I’ve been playing with. I picked up this Fanue ST65 tripod for around $250 on Amazon. Of course it’s made in China. Then again so is the device you’re likely reading this on. Along with half the items in your home. This company at least...

    6.5 creedmoor worth it for first prs?

    This is a few days old and I don’t know if you pulled the trigger on a gun yet, but….If a $2500 rifle is out of the cards, consider an Aero Solus 6.5 Bravo. There are quite a few available on GunBroker.com. At $1700 or so, it’s a heck of a good start and certainly not a rifle you’ll immediately...

    Getting a 1k class gun built

    Yep, asking your smith to pick a stock is kind of like going on a car forum and saying, “I want a fast car, what should I buy?”. Thats likely wayyy too broad of a question for guys who are very laser focused and detail oriented. As a gun engraver I get this all the time. As in “how much to put...

    Hornady Comparator Readings

    An exact reading off the land means little since it’s just a starting point. A whack the bullet home about 5 times. If I’m within 5 thou on all five I’m good. I pick a depth about 20 from that as a starting point and test from there and never worry about the lands again. But it takes a good...

    Feedback Pk481 scam

    Have they been able to fake feedback yet? I’ve been going through previous posts to see if the seller has history. But if an entire profile can get hacked we are screwed. I suppose adding to use PayPal commercial sales and be willing to pay the associated fees could help. Would also weed out...

    Solus in a KRG Whiskey 3 clearance

    Just thought I’d offer a public service announcement on a small clearance issue with a Solus action in a Whiskey 3. And I suppose other KRGs. I used a Triggertech Special in this build and went to check safety function and realized it was barely engaging. Turns out the safety arm runs into the...

    Feedback Good Guy List

    Smooth transactions over the last week with: Brotherdale Okie2022 Ridgerinner406 And I suppose since they all got paid and I received stuff from them that puts me on the tentative good guy list as well I suppose. At least I tend to think so.

    Exciting new muzzle brake.

    Browsing eBay for a specific brake today and noticed this amazing new bit of kit. Check out those ports. When your gun is shooting too soft and you need just a little bit more recoil, this little gem fills the bill. Maybe it’s a muzzle “break”.

    did i made an error while mounting this scope?

    Notice that not one person has given you an example of what could happen if that gap isn’t equalized? That’s because there is likely no one who has tested this to see if there’s a problem. In my case, I’m a jeweler and gun Engraver who works to exacting tolerance. So equalized gaps are just...

    Is this a good setup for a new guy?

    Before you go down this rabbit hole too far, and blame fliers on yourself, it’s worth it to listen to the Hornady podacasts when the subject is reloading. They’ve been down that dark hole and have the data that matters and more importantly might elimate some steps that don’t matter. I crawled...

    Optics WTB Bushnell Match Pro ED

    I’ve just built a new 6arc plonking rifle and thought I’d use one of these but all I can find in the wild are MOA scopes. If anyone has a clean Mil Match Pro ED I could use it. Cheers, LZ

    Accessories WTB 6 Dasher Go/No Go gauges

    As stated. Origin action a proof barrel going together that are likely good to go and I’ve got other ways of checking but it’s nice to have something in steel to reference. A go gauge alone would be fine. If someone out there stopped shooting Dasher and has some lying around, I can take them...
