    PRS Talk What’s your favourite backpack

    After reading this post and a few others that consistently say good things about it I got one. Overall it is the best PRS bag I have used by a good margin which includes a British Bergen, 5.11 Rush 24 and 72, 5.11 Amp 72, Eberlestock Operator and Gunrunner, and some others. I like the frame...

    Help me settle a debate. . . wind direction

    As soon I read that I imagined a weathervane type effect or something that I hadn't really thought of. I took out my tongue in cheek comment about the projectile type as that was just meant to avoid semantics about a left or right wind.

    Help me settle a debate. . . wind direction

    Interesting. I suppose I could have lined up two or three wind meters but I figured there were smarter and more experienced people than I who knew. I appreciate the response.

    Help me settle a debate. . . wind direction

    As long as we're settling wind debates.... Sorry it's a bit of a read. Let's say I have a 10mph 6:00/90° that requires a 1.0 MRAD wind hold. If I face my wind meter perpendicular to the target it will read 10mph. Wind effect 100%=wind meter shows 100% value. Now let's say I turn 90° to new...

    We'll let it slide, but only because that's a really nice looking rifle.

    Newbie Asks: Why do you say the Production (Rifle) Division is a Joke?

    I have always liked the idea of varying difficulties like that. I think a good match should have a stage almost everyone can clean (maybe the timed tiebreaker) and a stage or two almost no one can clean. The good shooters can focus on time and making every shot, the new shooters get to see...

    If you make a video going over your issue and remedies like you mentioned it would be much appreciated!

    As someone mentioned a light trigger could be the culprit had the trigger been adjusted and if so do you know what pull weight it is at? Sorry if you mentioned it and I didn't catch it.

    My First PRS Match: I Screwed Up!

    Bit of an old thread but some thing I will say regarding getting cold hands/cold in general: In addition to your regular gear take one of the many medium sized backpacks you have that you don't use anymore and stuff it with as much cold weather clothing as you can (toques, gloves, lined pants...

    . Thanks for the feedback! Always interested to hear what other people are doing and what works for them. Very mundane question but what solvents and brushes are you are cleaning the various parts with, if any? I use brake kleen but I am wondering if that's too corrosive.

    Thanks! Amazon had a hypodermic needle looking unit of it for a reasonable price. Not sure what everyone else does but I wipe the bolt and bolt raceway (?) down with brake cleaner, soft brush and rag to get the mix of dust, grease, carbon, and what not out before re-lubing. That's usually every...

    You send your barrel back because "It won't shoot" - first thing the maker does is.....

    That's fair. I had a barrel where brass fired in any other barrel needed to be small base sized with a special die or they would get extremely stuck in the chamber. It was an accurate and fast barrel that I sold with a disclaimer because I didn't want the extra headache.

    You send your barrel back because "It won't shoot" - first thing the maker does is.....

    At what point do you as a customer feel a barrel is unsatisfactory and a manufacturer should take action? Non sub MOA groups? Can't put ten in the same hole with your favorite load?

    Accuracy International AT-X

    It might be common knowledge but what type of lube and cleaning schedule are people using with their AT-Xs, particularly in dusty areas? I really like G96 but even the lightest coat feels like glue near the end of a match. I have also experimented with Otis dry lube but it also didn't seem to...

    Correct AW magazine for AT-X

    Only MDT brand ones work for me and some work better than others. You can feel the bolt rubbing on the feed lips or something with some.

    Correct AW magazine for AT-X

    So I removed the follower spring from a 10 round AI AICS magazine by drilling out the rivets. Then I ground down the front of the top spring leaf about 3/8" until the holes lined up with an AX follower and riveted it on. It isn't perfect and was a bit of a struggle to get back in the AX mag...

    Wow. I feel stupider than I usually do for not trying that until just now. Seems to function fine and I have like six of them. Thank you to Lenny and you for sharing that.
