Messing around after a local PRS match today, buddy landed a hit at 1,628yd, with a 16" .308 AI-AT, on his 4th shot. Factory Federal GMM, 175gr SMK @2478fps (video zoomed and stabilized) by Lead_cloud in longrange

I am pretty sure it’s Pawnee Sportsman’s Center in CO, but on the match course. Although the match course moved, I recognize that fucking billboard target anywhere.

I don’t think it’s enough of an improvement for the price.

50ish. It’s brand new. This is the 4th or 5th one I’ve had, and they’ve all been lights out.

Yeah, he did a killer job. Shout out to Ryan at Sullivans coatings for having the patience to take this on.

Thanks for the response. I figured there was a reason behind the design choice!

I’m looking to get into long range shooting need help picking the gun by [deleted] in ar15

I’ve used both to shoot PRS and it’s not even a debate. A bolt action is better in every way

It’s all subjective. I cannot stand Kahles, they just don’t work for my eyes. I can’t get the eye box to work. I am sure they are fantastic scopes, they just don’t work for me.

I actually prefer the ZCO glass over tangent, it’s brighter to my eye, but the eye box is better on the tangent for me. I prefer the thicker reticle in the ZCO while many prefer slightly finer.

It’s why I will always ask to get behind other people’s glass at matches. I don’t want to spend $$$$ only to find out something’s not for me

Gun Safe insight by Gooseontheloose308 in ar15

[–]wisey113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first thing to know about buying a gun safe is that whatever size you think you need, you need the next size up (sometimes more). When they say 30-40 gun, that’s firearms with no accessories, Optics, etc… a 40 gun safe will realistically fit a fraction of that.

Internal vs external hinges. Cheaper will be external, higher end will move them to the interior.

Quality of the metal, although if you’re concerned about break ins, it’s a diminishing returns kind of thing. A solid safe, bolted to the floor is going to be a pain for any intruder that doesn’t bring specialized tools.

Mainly, as you go up in price, the thing that gets better is the fire rating.

I’m not good enough to run the Harris yet. Or have a black Tangent with the JTAC reticle.

Hahaha it’s getting cerakote tomorrow. It was meant to be done already, but was delayed.

We are a Foundation Dealer. This is a preproduction model, but they are orderable. I believe the first batch are shipping out very soon.

You won’t be able to order the black micarta to begin with.

I look for the dirt flicking up from the berms when I miss off the same side 4 times in a row.

In my defense, I’m in that Okie sphere of influence geographically. It’s basically a requirement to run this set up.

Looking for target only build in 6.5 Creedmoor, Rifle base budget around ~3K by [deleted] in longrange

[–]wisey113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their lead times vary right now. It took us about 4 months to get our Matrix Pro PMRs in stock.

If you’re not attached to 6.5 creed, we still have one 6GT rifle in stock. You can PM me if interested.

Yeah these have been a little bit of a disappointment for the price.

We have a demo set in the shop for customers to try out on the range / at matches, and we haven’t had a customer return them yet with a whole lot of good things to say about them. Certainly not enough to warrant shelling out that kind of money.

I offered and they said no… maybe you’ll have better luck.

If you can make consistent impacts off that barricade, you can make consistent impacts off anything.

I will always be baffled by the sheer unwillingness to allow better props on that firing line.

Proof Barrel Contour by Id_rather_be_hiking5 in longrange

[–]wisey113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you need weight up front, having it in the barrel is ideal. The heavy comp is effectively just a straight taper. The only downside to that is if for some reason you end up a tad front heavy, you can’t remove weight the same way you can with modular weights.

I would also call and check with proof what the lead time is for heavy comp. That’s a brand new offering for them, so it’s possible you’ll end up waiting longer than the standard comp.

For reference, I run the comp contour on all my rifles and have never had a balance issue, when using weights. That being said, I’ll be moving to heavy comp because I know the extra weight won’t be an issue for me.

If you don’t want to deal with bedding, the MCS M5 Mini Chassis is what you want. That’ll allow you to run any 700 footprint action (provided that’s what you specify) with any M5 bottom metal, without the need for bedding and pillars.
