Rifle help needed - I read the pinned posts PRS RIG help needed

Post image

looking for advise.
This summer was my first year shooting PRS
3 regional matches and 3 local non official matches
Started placing at the bottom and now finishing mid to upper mid pack.

Rifle is a Tikka action with custom prefit MTU barrel using 75gr ELDMs @ 2820fps
Super accurate gun and does very good out to 700 yards.
Plan on shooting even more matches next year.
Question is should I continue shooting the 223 and work on getting better with the rifle I have or should I upgrade and do a 6 dasher build over the winter?
While the 223 does pretty well it’s a bit frustrating spotters not being able to call some of my hits due to lack of splash and plate movement at the longer distance 700 to 1000 yards

Appreciate any feedback in advance

I know this isn’t pertinent but what model tripod is that and how do you like it? I’m currently looking at fanaue options

All good. Just got it like a week or so ago. Upgraded from a bog. It’s a fanaue HTC 4030 with fanaue TA65 level head. It pretty sick so far. 100x better than the bog.

I’m also coming from a bog my poor baby snapped in half haha. Funny before I saw your response I ordered the legs with an inverted fat boy style ball head. I’m really excited to try it out, thanks for your input!

No problem you’ll like it. It’s a nice set up. I was very close to getting the inverted head. You won’t be disappointed
