    Long gong

    We had one at 120ish and then one at the rack, which definitely help but we are a bunch of silly gooses that can’t take our time, so we shot it like a 90 second PRS stage lol

    Long gong

    So my first attempt at long gong ended up with me getting second place with a score of 76, which should have been a win but the guy scoring thinks he messed up one of my strings. I would have fought it but the guy who got first place shot a 77 and left early, so even I just bumped up a just a...

    Long gong

    So I found out the club local-ish to me is only pushing out the 225 yards since 300 was a bit to much of a challenge for most people it seems. Looks like they are using 6”, 4.5” and 3” for their gong, so that should be fun.

    Quick Question on the Zermatt Origin + Trigger Tech combo

    I had one of the first runs of the origin and had ray send me the updated cocking piece, it was a nice little upgrade, but to the OP you don’t need the bolt release since its build into the action it’s self on the side.

    Composite Stock Options

    Hard to go wrong with a manners stock, they aren’t inexpensive and the wait time is annoying for a custom one but at this point they are my go to for anything I’m building.

    Curtis took my money......7 months later still nothing.

    Seems to be a recurring issue, someone else posted they paid in full for a x lite rifle and now are beyond the expected delivery date. Now after contacting them a bunch, they have been ghosted and can’t get any response back from Curtis

    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    Sounds like a solid purchase for punching paper

    7 SWC for PRS

    That’s not terrible but then again that’s off one experience, I know I’d personally prefer not to shoot my 308 for a two day since it’s well not the most enjoyable experience but definitely shows any flaws in the fundamentals. Looks like the 6ARC is putting in work and is slowly becoming the...

    What's the most Tactical Timmy caliber for a 16.5" barreled short action?

    That’s motivation enough to build a 300wm now with a shorter barrel

    What's the most Tactical Timmy caliber for a 16.5" barreled short action?

    Didnt know it performed that well out of a “short” barrel since most stuff offered is usually around that 24-26 range.

    What's the most Tactical Timmy caliber for a 16.5" barreled short action?

    Talk about cutting the legs on a caliber’s ability, but the fireball that would throw might be worth it.

    What's the most Tactical Timmy caliber for a 16.5" barreled short action?

    223 or 308 would be fun and if you’re only going out to 600 than both are adequate to ring steel. I will say a 16” 308 with a performance brake on it will be aggressive on the ears but definitely get peoples attention.

    22LR Preferred barrel blanks

    I had a ridiculous group with eley team at 50 that was like .17” or something but unfortunately I only had one box and needless to say I burnt through it chasing tiny groups. With random lots of sk std+ it’s right about .5” at 50 and 1” at 100 if I do my part. Sk long range match is a little...

    Long gong

    That’s definitely a good haul from me, for some reason I was think something different but the cape is technically the most south east part.

    Long gong

    Where is SE MA? Because I’m on the NY/CT border by Danbury, so depending on where the match is, it’s just a rip up I84 for me.

    22LR Preferred barrel blanks

    I brought mine out after a long hiatus and shot paper at distance, at 200ish I was printing right around 2” with SK Long Range match. I unfortunately couldn’t couldn’t measure the group, but looked around 2”

    7 SWC for PRS

    Well that rules it out for me at least, my 169smk load at 2750 is stout enough to mess me up when doing barricade work. Plus being on the east coast we don’t really get high winds besides the occasional gusty day but even that’s not bad.

    7 SWC for PRS

    Oh the dasher donkey, I’ve heard some pretty awesome stuff about it, I haven’t gotten behind one yet but it’s definitely on my radar. I know the cartridges from the original owner of Sherman definitely worked and have a cult following with people.

    Long gong

    Anyone play around with long gong matches and see what’s your experience been like? Is there anything I need to know before showing up besides the basics of know your gear and you ballistic data. I’ve got a semi local club that’s putting on a match and figured I’d give it a shot since the...
