    Adjusting elevation vs holdover/under for NRL22

    I can't speak on those two compared to each other, but I don't think you'll have an issue either way. My comment really comes into play in the low end of the range, say below 8x. It's rare that I have my power down that low but I've shot some stages that the wider field of view helped me more...

    Adjusting elevation vs holdover/under for NRL22

    It all depends on the stage, you, and your equipment. When I started I rarely dialed. It was just odd to me. As I got more experience and was able to transition between positions faster I began to dial more often. Another factor is how well you can see the stadia lines. Sometimes I back off the...

    Precision Rifle Gear Would you do it again

    I'm going to throw out the dreaded - it depends. My first centerfire rifles were Savage and they worked. They stayed stock for a long time until I got better and wanted to reach out farther. My 223 has had the trigger, stock, and barrel replaced and I still use it and maintain it the way that...

    NRL22 KYL Target color...Black or White????

    My targets are painted only to distinguish which targets are for which stage. My KYLs are almost never white because they're in front of a static backboard/berm that's white. If you want good practice, battleship gray is the right color because like other people have said, by the time you shoot...

    How would you spend your money?

    I've run a DB Tac on my NRL22 rifle for the last 2 years. No issues with it out to 100 yards. The FIRST time you take it out to 200 and forget to dial it back to zero (because 200 yards just happens to be one full rev of the elevation turret) you will kick yourself. There isn't a zero stop on...

    22LR shopping

    For a threaded plinker, I have a Savage FVSR, Ruger RPR, and 10/22. I'd recommend any of those as they come out of the box. Accuracy is "good enough" and they've been mostly reliable. I've never had an issue with my Savage but I've heard of others having extraction/ejection issues. My RPR got...

    Stock Ruger 10/22 for competition...

    If you're talking standard NRL22 matches, show up and run what ya brung. I started in this game with a bone stock Savage FVSR and Nikon rimfire scope and was limited by the scope more than the rifle. I couldn't see where my rounds were going at 100 yards, so I pretty much just aimed in a...

    Shooting for short guys

    Any chance we could get more discussion on navigating obstacles that are not designed for us vertically challenged people in mind? A common theme I've heard with PRS is that props (especially that damned barricade) are designed with taller people in mind and are either extremely difficult or, in...

    PRS Talk Question about Curtis custom vector

    I used one Vector action and loved it, which convinced me to buy one for myself. The one I've had has been nothing but problems. Weak extraction causing ejection issues, poor customer service, and feeding problems. The one problem I haven't had (yet) is the headspace issue that I've seen other...

    Anybody have an Axiom/ Vector in 223?

    See this thread: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/curtis-custom-actions-vector.6878817/page-9 One guy in there stretched his spring and said it worked as a temporary fix. After awhile the spring takes a set and the extraction/ejection problems came back. I also had issues with my...

    Rifle Scopes noob question about mil/mil vs moa/moa

    After my "extensive" training/knowledge acquired (meaning shooting at established ranges and messing around with UKD in the woods with no professional instruction whatsoever) I'd have to say go with what you know. As long as the reticle matches the turrets, an adjustment is just an adjustment...

    Member Link Up Anyone from Connecticut?

    Re: Anyone from Connecticut? Russ, I'm a member at Ledyard, and yes the range is still there. The last I heard, they hit their membership cap (around 550 members I think), but will still take applications and put you on the wait list. If I can dig it up, I'll PM you the contact info for...
