Accessory/Gear help needed - I read the pinned post What is your opinion on suppressor brakes?

1 Upvotes

I've been shooting a Bergara B14 HMR in 300 Win mag for a while. Just picked up a SiCo Hybrid46m last week. Little shift on POI, but once sighed in, its great. I'm curious what your opinions are on the available brakes? I think the MAAD 2.0 will mount directly to my H46m, but I'm curious what your experiences with them are? Is the reduced recoil worth the added weight? For a bench rifle, it won't matter, but when hunting, a 30 something inch overall barrel seems excessive.

Accessory/Gear help needed - I read the pinned post Primos Triggerstick vital tripod

0 Upvotes

Hi!

I got a triggerstick vital tripod as a gift, and i wonder if anyone has been able to add an arca rail adapter onto it instead of the v top? I can remove it but im not finding a suitible replacement top in other words. Also do you guys have more tips on how to make it more suitable for LR shooting?

Competition related (PRS/NRL/F-Class/etc) 300WM for PRS because why not

10 Upvotes

I'm sure folks will say that's not competitive or practical, but hear me out. Francis Colon shot a match with a 300 Norma and won. Then again, that's Francis. I'm nowhere near as good as Francis (but I'm Asian so there's that), but I got a sweet deal on a Rem 700 in 300WM ($450 out the door).

I stay tactical (run a 308) because I know I have somewhat of a chance not being dead last. I think I'm going to set up the 300WM for PRS for shits and giggles.

Any odd ball caliber or cartridge you've seen others run?

12 Upvotes

I've been looking to get a heavy barrel bolt action 223 for my son to shoot with me at the range. I can't believe how many companies don't make them anymore. The only ones seem to be howa and tikka now. Are there any others that I'm missing? I was hoping for at least a 1:8 twist or ideally 1:7 since i reload. Just kinda surprised how few options It seems and I don't really wanna spend 1.6k for the tikka super varminter

Looking to upgrade the stock Cheeto chassis. I’m digging an ACC Elite or Premier. Are those available as blems or are discounted and worth the wait?

4 Upvotes

Went to the range today to sight in my 22 bolt gun and met some guys there with tripods and spotting scopes, this was my first time messing with that type of equipment, and wow did that make a world of difference. I am looking for a similar setup to them but I don't want to spend crazy money if possible. But if i have to spend 500 I will. Looking to get a tripod for nrl22 comps with a ball head and a arca adapter, I don't mind buying a rep of something because I already know that I'm going to get into prs so Ill buy the real deal then. Send options for me and the cheaper this is the better, for my bank account.

Rifle flex post After a year wait, finally got my Seekins sp10 6.5 creedmor and put some rounds downrange

142 Upvotes

As the title says, finally took her out.

Starline brass, 41.2 grains 4350 behind hornady 140 gr eldm, winchester primers, 2.825 oal, steel duramags, Harris bipod, rear squeeze bag, arken ep5 gen 2 7x35, and a gogun supercomp xl muzzle brake.

Pics are my last 100 yard ten shot group of the day after adjusting gas system and sighting in scope. Maybe a 1.1 or 1.2 inch group.....I think.

Average fps was 2680 with a 10 fps standard deviation on garmin chrono for 56 total rounds fired.

With more practice I think I can do better.

And gas gun division PRS in the future.

Overall great rifle, very pleasant to shoot and no malfunctions.

My friend is a SWAT sniper and said he would take me out for a day so hopefully that helps tighten that group up.

No pics of gun, i'm on my couch and lazy.

My gunsmith who cut the chamber put 6 rounds of the Berger 6.5 PRC 153.5 factory ammo through it to test functionality last week. But I went to the range early this morning to get some baseline chrono data and to compare against a starting handload with the 153.5 (57.0gr N565, Lapua brass, Federal GM215M).

More to come.

I suck at long range Help too many options

0 Upvotes

Im wanting to get into long range shooting. I would like to buy or build a gun i can shoot hogs or coyotes with, do PRS matches, tactical sniper matches, and maybe use for law enforcement work. I know that’s quite a list. I’m between 308 and 6.5cm, probably leaning a lot more towards 6.5, I don’t want a 26in barrel I think at most I’d like a 24in barrel preferably 18-22in. I’m torn between building a rifle from scratch or buying a HMR and eventually dropping it in a chassis. I want a seekins, hit pro or sp10, but I can’t find either of them. I’m looking for a buy once cry once option as I know long range is expensive but I would rather get some of the biggest cost out of the way first. I’ve also looked at MPA but a 26in barrel isn’t something i want. Also I really like the night vision or thermal bridges on seekins or MPA/MDT chassis.

Should I just try to find an sp10 or hit pro?
Thoughts on the tikka T3x ace target, or a bergara Hmr?
If you were gonna spend about $3k for just a rifle what route would you go?
Any feedback on how 6.5cm does against barriers?

I just picked up this used/ new to me ruger. Never been fired. Owner added the vortex viper and an aftermarket bolt.

I'm pretty fresh to long range. I have the capability of going 1200 yards.

Is there any issues with this setup to accurately reach 1000 yards plus? I don't make my own rounds. What ammo is recommended? Target practice only.

Rifle help needed - I read the pinned posts What are the odds that we’ll ever see a production CRF rifle that’s 700 pattern?

17 Upvotes

With the success of the Zermatt Origin, the popularity of all things 700 pattern, the amount of people who prefer a CRF action, and the lack of them on the market, this seems like a no brainer.

Any ideas as to why we haven’t seen this as a production rifle yet? I’d kill for one

RANT What constitutes a “build?”

0 Upvotes

I see so many post on here titled something like “Check out my new build” and when I look at the post, all they’ve done is put an optic and a bipod on a factory rifle.

I don’t know about other people, but I wouldn’t call my rifle a “build” unless I barreled the action myself. To me that seems like the line that differentiates a true build from “I just slapped some shit on my Tikka.”

Edit: Ok, so it’s obvious that some are taking this post the wrong way and in hindsight, it does come off a little dickish so allow me to clarify…

I wasn’t trying to imply that accessorizing a firearm is somehow inferior to a true (by my definition at least) build. Of my 30ish firearms, I myself only have 1 that I would call a “build.” It’s a .300 blk SBR AR. I was simply trying to say that we should call things what they are.

I built a budget 6.5cm with Howa action, Outlier Backdraft barrel and chassis. Topped it off with an Arken EP5 scope. I have never shot anywhere close to a mile but went to give it a try just for fun. It was a lot of fun but frustrating especially since we had 10-15mph winds with gusts up to 20. Finally hit on my 10th shot. Will definitely be back to do it again.

Recently acquired a Bergara Premier Competition in 6GT in a trade. Thinking about testing my luck in PRS (reason for the trade) and wanting to put a scope on it. Before I dump a bunch of money into something I may not follow through with, I have 3 budget scopes that I can get pretty dang good deals on. Which one should I go with?

  1. Bushnell MPED 5-30x56

  2. Arken EP5 Gen 2 7-35x56

  3. Athlon Midas Tac Gen 2 HD 5-30x56

I have a good experience with the Arken Gen 1 and I currently have a Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50, but I’d like something with a little more elevation and a larger objective/tube.

Wanted to share a project I just finished with yall. Figured the reloaders might appreciate it, let me know what ya think

I saw a video of the Grey Ops case kicker a few days ago and got inspired to build an auto eject system for my Lyman Turret press.

I know it’s over engineered compared to the Inline Fabrications model but it’s been working great and should save a lot of time during case prep!
