Long Range Rifle/Scope/PRS question(s)

Sinclair, 21st Century, NECO, Premier Accuracy, and likely others, make good ones.

Our squad started at the rectangles at 300, 400, 500 from four positions and I got 8 out of 12. A good start, but it got ugly at the next stage. 16" & 14" circles at 726 & 12" & 10" circles at 619, possible 8 points. I used the temp at the range and the mils seemed high. They were, bad, between moving from weak side to strong side and switching positions, as well as shooting over the targets, I scored a big fat zero. Struggled at the next one with dope again, 2 points. Then used a higher temp in the app, adjusted a little on the fly, and shot 9 out of 9 on the next one. The stage we finished on had IPSC targets right to left of 100, 75, 66, 50, & 45% at 813 to 817. Two hits on the large one then move to the next smaller size, two hits on it and so on. Wind was getting switchy, changing directions with small gusts, not blowing real hard, just kept changing. Got a six on that to finish out.

One fellow had a tripod to help steady the rear of the rifle on barricades etc. Sam borrowed in on four or five stages and used it very effectively. I used it on one stage, should have used it for more, it really helped.

Sam scored 46 hits while I had 40, Jeff lagged way behind both of us. Our hit ratios both went way up, we were below 50% last time, this time Sam said he was at 75% and I was at 70%. I was faster, but not fast enough to get a chance at all of the points. I shot 57 times for 40 hits, even with the big fat zero on one stage. Brought 116 rounds and returned with 59.

Overall a great time.

Sam & I on the stage shots. Then Me, Sam, & Jeff together.

I looked at Practiscore a bit more. Sam was the only one with 46 hits, so he was an honest 41st place. Two of us had 40 hits, and with no tie breaker I was placed alphabetically above the other shooter, so we were 47th/48th.

I shot one stage clean, but about 24 others shot it clean as well, it wasn't a real hard stage, platform was stable, targets easy to find etc.

maybe you'll get some character marks on that fancy gun of yours soon.

On one stage there was a W made from railroad ties, two spots to shoot were the outer tops so I was able to jam the rifle against the post as well as the tie, just jammed it in there, may have a mark(s), I did not look. I was more steady on the 45 degree parts than I was on top of the middle of the W. It was not cut flat, should have used the bag instead of the barricade block.

The MPA BA PMR Compettion & Competition "Ready" rifles looks like good values and another quality option to get started in PRS

Or maybe a barreled action. The "Tenacity" action isn't Defiance's top action, but looks like a good entry level set up. Buy a stock etc to go with it and bingo.

Early 2020 I want to get/put together another rifle for the kids to use. Looking at options. I am sure there are other good options out there, any other suggestions?

Buy a piece or two at a time and pretty soon you have another rifle. I would like to try an MPA (Or other brand?) chassis stock anyway.


MPA BA PMR Competiton Ready rifle. (Pic from website.) $3K for the whole setup.

I ordered the Wiebad Whiskey Charlie MFC and Range Cube bags the other day. The Range Cube is huge, bigger than I expected, the WC MFC is about the size of the Armageddon Pint Sized Game Changer (Excellent size IMHO), and similar in weight to the "heavy" PSGC, but the fill seems finer and it sits dead still on whatever you plop it on. It conforms well and is very solid, I believe I am going to really like it.

Plop it on a post/obstacle with the "U" up and plop the rifle in the U. It conforms around stuff like it is filled with fine sand. Waxed Canvas cover.

so it’s a heavy, waxy pint sized Game Changer which gets all of my play now.

I have one of those, as well as a light one, and like both, and time will tell which bag(s) get more use, but I think I am really going to like this WC MFC. Never know till you try.

Signed up for the Oct 12th one day shoot.

Fire formed 50 more cases at 300 yards with help from a friend at work.
He really got off on shooting such an accurate rifle. I knew he would, he shoots well.

We knocked the center out of the hostage target, it's missing a clip on
one side of the rod hanging down, I must remember to bring a new one next time.

Shooting that tight on steel at ukd is just immensely satisfying.

Something I haven't done yet, but I am sure it is an awesome feeling. All of mine prior to getting a true long range rifle setup was 400ish and in.

Knowing there are thousands guys around the country who can do it gives a whole different perspective on the feasibility of mass gun confiscation.

Yep. They'll go after our rifles next if they get the AKs/ARs.

Dang good shooting walkalong

Heh, it's hard to miss with that rifle at a mere 300 yards.

Yes, a couple, but it was all known distances. My previous unknown distance shooting has been years ago with a Sake .222 Mag. "Prior to getting a true long range rifle". Eyeballed the distances and held accordingly on crows. It had an old Redding Golden Five Star 6-18 scope in Burris mounts on it for a very long time, but I switched it out to a Vortex Viper a couple of years or so ago.

Yea, I do like the transitioning and multiple targets at different distances part, even though I am slow at it so far (getting better). It is very satisfying when I get it right and actually finish in time. I am actually starting to like the timed part of it, even though it is still a challenge.
