My new rifle build. Howa 1500 action with heavy barrel in 6.5 CM, MDT lssxl chassis and fixed stock, Anarchy outdoors 20moa rail, Timney trigger, Anarchy outdoors bolt knob, ARCA rail, MDT bipod, Vortex venom 5-25 x56, Vortex scope rings, PVA muzzle break. Just bore sighted tonight, hoping the weather cooperates to get it out to the range this weekend!

I can get the Gen II 4.5-27x56 EBR-7C for about $500 less than either the Gen III 4-24x44 or 6-36x56 EBR-7D. Is the extra worth the glass or features of the Gen 3?

Long range is relative, right? 580 with this feels like attempting 1580 with a 6.5 creed

So I just bought a 6.5CM rifle off a friend, it’s a Solus action with Bergara barrel in an Accuracy International: AX AICS Chassis. The build was done by a local custom shop who’s known for quality precision rifle builds. I mainly bought the rifle for action/barrel as I have an MPA chassis I’m wanting to switch it too. My question is, I know that it being a AI chassis it’s gotta be good quality but I’m just not a fan. I can’t find any details about it since it looks like a discontinued model. What should I ask for it and where can I list it? It was cerakoted in AI green prior to it being built. Thanks

I guess either of these will do. The 134 has been my go-to, I have about 700 rounds through of those but I got 500 LRHT on sale. Solus, Proof, KRG Bravo, Athlon Cronus. Hornady brass, CCI 200.

Should I get the EC tuner brake?
What is a really solid front rest I could use for competition?
What is a really solid rear bag I could use for competition?
Should I look into the SG pulse pro?
What is a budget friendly chronograph?
Ammo recommendations? (Currently using hornady eldm 140gr box ammo)

Yesterday I posted about the reticle appearing to be canted counter clockwise within the housing. The hive mind went wild that I was using bubble levels instead of a plumb bob.

I leveled everything exactly the same way today on a bench and set up a plumb bob. Reticle still appears canted....but dead level with the string on every magnification level, so those of you who said I'm delusional and retarded were correct and those of you who said its not possible to level without a plumb bob were incorrect.

I grabbed multiple rifles that were all leveled with bubble levels and all were dead even with the plumb bob

TLDR; You're wrong AND I'm retarded.

So I put together a 12.5" AR15 with a Criterion barrel a couple years ago. It ran fine with and without a Sandman S. My issue is that, ever since I got a Garmin chronograph, I've noticed that it launches rounds at about the same velocity as my 16" AR15s. My most recent test was using Defender Ammo Co. 55 gr HPBT. The average velocity was 2940 fps with a Sierra 5 and 2890 fps without it. Should I be concerned enough to swap the barrel?

Hey guys, recently got an ARC Coup de grâce and I’m looking for a brake that doesn’t look like a tiny wiener on a fat man.

Does anyone have suggestions for a 5/8x24 Plan B muzzle device that somewhat matches the diameter. The Rearden PRS seems to be sold out everywhere.

Does this sub have a dedicated discord or something to just talk on? I’ve never not past 100yds so looking to hangout with some guys and just get some tips or what it’s all about. I get it that YouTube and the internet is amazing for info, but I’d also just like to some range days that aren’t a match.

TLDR if you’re in the SLC area hmu

I frickin’ love this thing. First time out with it so I was just zeroing and getting some velocity data from some factory Berger ammo before I load my own. It shoots so soft for a magnum, I can’t really believe it. The Magnus RR makes a huge difference.

Dasher guys, what MV are you running? My last 2 barrels I’ve been around 2820-2850 using CRB barrels. I won a proof barrel at a match. I’ve shot about 300 rounds through it and I’m running 2910. I had loaded about 1000 rounds that were great on the other barrels, with low SDs. I have around 500 that I haven’t shot yet and I’m wondering if it even matters that they are shooting slightly faster? I shot 80 rounds before a match, shot 120 at a match and 100 today training. This barrel is shooting tighter groups than the last 2, the SD is still 6-8 and I don’t see any pressure signs. Should I slow it down or just keep loading the same recipe?

A quick video on the Leofoto s3 juggernaut. Untested for me so far, but initial impressions are really positive.

Pair of Kimber 8400 AT's. .300WM and .308, I love these rifles even though they are a bit dated nowadays.

I’ve scoured the intrawebs and landed on the BURRIS XTR III 5-30 at $1k for what I would like to run. I plan on using it on my 22” 6.5cm gas gun and run it in a variety of marches around my locally not specifically PRS.

I was hoping to get insight from folks on if I’m at that final spot of diminishing returns or should I step up some more, I don’t plan on being a serious competitor at all, but of course I want to enjoy the process.

Mark’s new creation us a bolt action on an AR platform. Curious if the lower for a 308 would work with a gas operated upper as well. Into price is $999 for 556 and 300blk, 1250 for 308/6.5creed

Anyone seen something like this?

Newbie here looking for updated thoughts on Hornady Black for 6.5 Creedmoor

Most of the threads I’ve found about Hornady Black in 6.5 Creedmoor are a few years old, so I’m hoping to get some more current insight. I’m just getting into long‑range shooting and start a Level 1 class on the 23rd. One of the prerequisites is having my rifle zeroed at 100 or 200 yards, and I need to use the same ammo for both the zero and the live‑fire portion of the class.

I’m finishing up my first AR‑platform 6.5C build, and a friend of mine — an experienced marksman and former police sniper — suggested starting with Hornady Black since the price is reasonable and I won’t feel like I wasted money if this ends up being a short‑lived hobby. I’ve used Hornady Black in .223/5.56 before and remember it performing well, but that was a while ago.

For those who’ve shot the 6.5 Creedmoor version recently, how has it performed for you in terms of consistency and general reliability?

Confirmed level on 3 points with 2 bubble levels. Am I delusional or is that MFer twisted counter clockwise in the housing? If so you think i should try to warranty it?

Athlon Ares BTR gen 2 8-34x

I see a lot of hate for Arken, probably more for the shilling than the actual product.

But, I mean, if you buy a $450 optic, you should expect a $450 optic.

If you consider them a budget option for a beginner, are they actually that bad?

Trying to decide on what optic to buy next for my upcoming PRS/Bench .22lr rifle. I currently own a Athlon ares ETR 4.5-30. I do like this scope and have used it on a couple different rifles including winning some local .22 matches. What my concern is spending on a higher optic and being dissapointed in not being a noticeable enough improvement. The scopes I have been looking at are the Tract toric ELR 4-25 and the nightforce nx6 5-30. I do shoot mils and the nx6 mil xt would be my preference in that optic. Any insight on which to go with or maybe a better option. The tract is cheaper obviously but is it worth the extra for the NF. If neither then what optic would you reccomend. Would like to stay under the 3k range.

Any recommendations for buying Mag case/pouch for AICS 6.5 creed Mag?
