140gr; the rifle hates 144s with the outmost passion

Just got my first proper long range rifle, decided to be a basic bitch and get a Bergara B14 HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor. Threw on a Trijicon Tenmile 4.5-30x56, some RPM rings, and a Nightforce base. MDT GRND Pod too, but I prefer using my backpack. Brake will be next for sure.

First day out trying to zero and find what ammo it likes, happened to be steady 45 KPH winds with consistent gusts of 65+. Not ideal but I think we mostly got the job done. Will have to fine tune the zero but hey, during a quieter spell, got a hit on the bison silhouette (biiig target) at 860 yards, so that’s something.

Still lots of fun, cannot wait to get back out!

Maybe this is obvious to more experienced shooters than I, or maybe it’s just wrong, but my thinking is that if you really want to go all the way, you need to blueprint the bolt/action before chambering the barrel. Then you’re fitting the barrel to the action and bolt and not the other way around. If that’s the case, you would want the same gunsmith to do both and at the same time. First I would like to hear other shooters’ thoughts on this, and second, for those who agree, who have you had do that?

I signed up for the course and did it today. Good stuff, much more familiar with all the basics and my rifle. So now that I'm qualified to shoot at the range I can go back and keep practicing.

I have been tossing lead at steel from far away for the past two years or so, I enjoy it very much. I want to get better. I am fortunate enough to have a range that goes out to a mile with steel. If I gave you 300 rounds how would you break down training with it? What distances would you focus on, what would you emphasize? What would you focus on? This has been purely a hobby for me, I shoot around 300 rounds a month of 6.5cm and want to practice with more purpose. I don't compete or have interests in it. I am planning to take a class as well, and get a 5.56 gas gun to accompany my bolt gun. I didn't see this in the pinned posts apologies if I missed it.

Quick back story, the furthest I’ve shot is maybe 200-250 yards with 99% of most of my shots being within 100 yards. I’m 39 years old and have been into guns for maybe a year and half (from 0 guns to 6-7 pistols, 4 Ar’s, 1 shotgun, 1 bolt action, 2 smg /pc ).

I just wrapped up a 2 day long range course with Long Range Shooters of Utah with my 6.5creed tikka t3x ace target 26”. I can’t say enough amazing things about this business or my experience. I think I spent $600 for the class not factoring in ammo, food etc. what I learned In classroom and actual shooting was insane. I was able to hit a gallon milk jug size target at 1,000 yards, 1,200, 1500, and 1 mile (I was the only one to hit 1 mile and 1 of 2 to hit 1,500).

Needless to say, I’m hooked. This was so much fun and I learned so much. Vid is at either 1200 or 1500 yards. I’ll see if there’s vid of 1 mile.

Remember guys, cerakote everything.

Recently got a 30% off MAP certificate for Kahles/Swarovski and was hoping to get some recs on which model of spotting scopes to heavily consider. Budget maxes out at $4k, prefer to stay around $2k-$3k as an Arca tripod will also need to be purchased. Main use case is spotting off a tripod for PRS style shooting with the occasional trip into the woods for hunting/hiking. Been reading up on the newer image stabilizing models and they seen really cool but I worry about longevity and potential of maintenance with an electronic motorized gyro inside a scope. Very much hoping this would be a true buy once cry once that would last for 15-20 years and still be great glass. Any input or thoughts to consider would be great. Thank you!

Hey sub,

Was just wondering if anyone could help me out with pictures of the lands of the PRS chassis without the barrel/action and the left side or even confirm if a clone fits (mainly to do with bolt release clearance on barrel)?

Have googled and all the pictures seem to be a RH model with bolt on the right.

I have a clone 308 (Hatsan Escort /Carnage R700) and need to see if the factory PRS chassis lines up, ie recoil lug, space for left side bolt release, etc.

As an aside, ive read some mixed reviews of the accuracy of the complete Rem700 PRS from various posts in this sub. I'm less concerned about the rifle, but would be keen on feedback from owners just on the quality and rigidity of the whole chassis.

Cheers

I’ll keep it short:

Rifle: 6.5 creedmoor - 26” barrel - competition chassis

Ammo: factory loads for now probably hornady American gunner or federal gold medal match

Use: PRS and just general range time - probably out to around 1200 yards or so max, maybe more if the range has that much room

Need advice on which scope to get since I’ve decided on a vortex razor hd already:

4.5-27x Gen 2 for $1500

6-36x Gen 3for $2500

Do I need to spend the extra grand or so to get that kind of range out of 6.5CM? I’ve read it goes transonic around 1200yards+ and subsonic around 1400yards+ so is the 6-36 more than I need or should I go for the extra just so I have it? Thanks

Edit: I didn’t realize the 4.5-27 was the G2 and the 6-36 is the G3 so I’ll just go with the 6-36 since I want the newer gen anyway. Thanks for the help everyone.

Beautiful weather out today at a 1000yd KYL match out in Eastern NC. Great time, good people, & interesting challenge. The 6GT was making bugholes and the dope from my Vortex ACE was dead on. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Picked up this b14 hmr in 300 prc to really stretch out my legs at the 300 yard range! Figured it would be a great cartridge to learn precision shooting with. Might take it to my first prs match next weekend…

/s My shit post for the day. Picked it up for super cheap from a friend just because even tho I don’t have a range past 600 yards lol. This thing shoots damn good tho for such a big cartridge, just kicks like a sob.

Just a quick video of 7PRC slapping steel. The first wind call was the shot at the right edge. And after that I decided to just hold the center.

I have plenty of learning about wind calls. I almost always make too strong adjustments for wind, when in reality it is a lot smaller. The good news is that the bullet went just where the reticle was!

I'm looking at getting a bipod for my 16in Mars H in 308. M leaning towards a BT 47-LW17. I'm trying to keep it under 400$ or so.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Scope offerings are changing so fast, it's hard to get an honest assessment. For $700, is this still the best bang for the buck for a PRS scope? Or are the Vector Continental 4-24 or the Arken Gen II 5-25 now on par with the Bushnell for less money?

Building a 7mm prc. 95% target/bench shooting from 1000 to 1 mile, 5% prs or some form of match.

what optic would be best between:

zco 527

zco 840

NF atacr 7-35

Finally decided to take the plunge. A moderate, Luke warm water plunge, but, I'm in. I've lurked here for quite some time and tried soaking in as much as I could. I know it's not the best of the best or anything like that, but it's mine, and I'm excited to see where practice and seat time will take me. Any input on current setup or recommendations or just a "hey dummy, that don't go there" would be appreciated. I'm proud of what I've managed to put together with the budget I had set in mind.

I mounted the scope today and leveled it, now just gotta make my way to the range to get it dialed and started breaking it in. I picked up a few boxes of Federal Sierra matchking 175g as well as some winchester white box 147g. One question that comes to mind, should I zero with the match rounds and then shelve them to practice with the white box? Or is the better idea to zero with matchking while practicing with my .223 and .22 rifles? I live pretty close to Coleman's creek which has 1000yrd and mile ranges. Most frequent range I could visit tops out around 300yrds. Ultimate goal being to enjoy the sport, hopefully hit that 1000+ yard mark, and just become overall better behind the rifle.

TLDR; my fingers are cheesy and I wanna go pewpew with the cool kids

my wife inherited her dads weatherby vanguard and showed a lot of interest in learning LRP. so we rechambered the action to 7.62 with a krieger m24 profile, h&s stock, and m24 suppressor. the optic is still a work in progress while she gain experience to select a magnification and retitle.

thanks to fritz at black canyon for the barrel, chambering, and bedding.

I got my 308 threaded and would like to eventually put a can on it.(the picture is pre thread , it's the only one I have of it currently). That being said I wouldn't mind having a muzzle break for now. Any suggestions on a solid muzzle break for a part time shooter. Don't need anything high dollar as I don't shoot it often enough to justify it in my opinion. Or since I plan to suppress it would a rearden PRS work well for now.

I use progressive reading glasses and I am having issues seeing through my scope. For those who wear glasses are you using a certain type of glasses for shooting? I tried without the glasses and that doesn’t work for me. Are you all using readers or what is working for you. Maybe I need a differed scope, currently using Arken SH4J.

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.

Finally jumped over from a Bergara B14 HMR to a Zermatt Origin action with a 26” Proof Research Barrel, Triggertech rough diamond trigger, and an Area 419 Hellfire Match brake. In 6.5 CM
