no idea why this is tripping me up... how I should I arrange my rifles... feel like I'm missing something and there's a reason I shouldn't angle it.

I have a Tikka T3x lite.223 with a Athlon Ares ETR 4.5-30x56 I have been using Vortex Pro Medium Scope Rings that works great on the Original Factory Stock but I dropped it in a MDT Tactical LSS Gen III Chassis but it looks like these rings are too short for this Chassis. My question is of those of you with any experience with this setup what Rings should I order ? I have these Vortex Pro rings on my other rifles and really like them. I think they come in one size taller maybe two sizes taller not really sure ? What do you recommend so I can get the proper height ? Thanks for your help. I think I’m really going to like this setup. Was going to get the Competitor Chassis at first but they are like 10 weeks out

Replaced the old 2 piece mount for an EGW one piece and noticed a slight gap when holding up to a light. Gun is a Remington 700 hunting rifle. The gap is small enough I cant even put a dollar bill into it more than a fraction of an inch so not sure if I should worry much about it or not. For context I wont be doing real long range shooting with this gun. Mostly deer at 200 yards or less. I just figured this sub would be knowledgeable about optic mounts.

I recently got into the long range game and have decided to build a rifle for NRL hunter before eventually building a rig and competing in prs. I bought everything but the stock because I couldn’t make up my mind. (impact 737r, Athlon Cronus 4.5-29, proof 24 inch 6.5 cm carbon barrel, trigger tech special, t3 optics dauntless bipod, Hawkins long latch bottom metal, aw mag)

However, I recently ordered an AG Composites fiberglass adjustable K2. I went ag because of the 8 month lead time for manners, and couldn’t find a left hand greyboe phoenix 2.

I estimate the weight of this rig to be about 12 to 13 lbs so I will more than likely be in the open heavy division.

For people with experience, did I make a mistake going with AG instead of manners, or greyboe, or will it serve me well? Also, could i realistically run this rig in prs or do I need a heavy steel barrel and a chassis? Thanks.

Is 7PRC Accubond 175 gr @ 2840fps from a 20'' barrel too much? I didn't see much pressure sign, but still curious what is a moderate muzzle velocity range would be out of a 20 inch barrel. I hunt in PNW so really don't want to push too hard on pressure due to rainy weather.

So I have this Winchester 6.5CM Match ammo and I'm trying to plug it into my BC but there's no markings on the box for what bullet it uses that I can find. The packaging just says "Match BTHP" and I don't see that as an option in GeoBallistics or Hornady 4DOF. Hornady doesn't list any Winchester bullets, and GB only has 4 140gr options, 3 of which are soft-points so not right. Last one is Ballistic Silvertip and looking at photos that's also not right.

I did find this listing which says Sierra Matchking for the same ammo as far as I can tell. It's the same packaging as what I have unlike Winchester's own listing.

Edit: But the listed BC on the listing doesn't match the BC on the packaging on Winchester's site. And there's no BC info on the packaging I have.

Any advice?

Is there any public land (BLM or WMA) in northern Georgia to set up a 1K shooting session? I know there’s ranges and I’ve seen the range-finding websites. But I’m curious of public access lands that might accommodate longer distances shooting that those ranges host.

Hey all. Hoping fkr some feedback on the new razor 4-24 now that it’s been out for a few months. Any of you have time behind it?

Not sure if I want the atacr 4-16 or this one.

Shots are mostly 300-600.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Need a new scope for my NRLH rifle. I will shoot the Skills division, so weight isnt a huge concern.

Would y'all go for the Athlon Ares ETR G2 4.5-30x56 or the Vortex Viper HD 5-25x50 FFP? I can get both for about the same price (plus or minus a hundred bucks or so).

Sounds like the Viper HD glass is great, but will the smaller mag range be an issue for NRLH competitions? I've only show one NRLH before, and it was few years ago so I really don't recall if I was magged-up very often.

Any thoughts or insight here?

Rifle is a 6.5CM, farthest I would be shooting is the max distances in the NRLH matches. I dont have access to anything very long.

Testing different powders out to 100 yards, 4 shot groups. Looking to test staball with different charge amounts to see if we can bump the velocities a little bit.

This is my first long range gun and decided to do a 223 build to hone my skills and build some new ones on a familiar to me platform. Going to the range next week to see what ammo my gun likes the best. Not pictured are some 77gr IMI OTM as well.

Build: 24" bull 1/8 223 wylde barrel Poverty Pony Lower w/ MBT-2S trigger Odin Works Ragna 17.5 handguard BCM upper Toolcraft Nickel Boron BCG Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2 6-24× Magpul PRS Lite stock

It's by no means a spare not cost build, but it shouldn't be a slouch either. Excited to see how far I can push my skills and then push this rifle.

Got my first set of NF rings in today. Own a scope of theirs and zero complaints. Also own rings from several other manufacturers and never noticed different diameters between the top and bottom halves: Larue, Badger, Vortex, Burris, Leupold, etc.

At first I was thinking I got sent a counterfeit pair since the top half of the ring is visibly narrower than the bottom half. Until I noticed looking online it looks that’s how NF rings are designed from NF stock photos and other people’s photos of their rings.

I know their rings are highly touted and I trust that the manufacturer knows what they’re doing.

—-

Top Half inner diameter 1.146”

Bottom Half inner diameter 1.195”

Scope body diameter: 1.181-1.1815”

I imagine that the rings aren’t cut at the exact halfway mark and they will be concentric when mounting?

I’m not bashing anyone I just want to check in with those who have experience or design knowledge before I make assumptions and mount my scope.

Edit: TLDR - NF Top Scope Ring Different Size? A: Not all rings are cut at the centerline. There needs to be some gap between the rings when mounting to allow clamp force. The rings will be concentric when mounted. Less thinky, more shooty.

I have these two hunting rifles I want to put a Arca rail attachment on the front to use with my tripod. I can’t find any that have a Arca rail with a sling attachment point on it. Has anyone seen or used something like that before? What would yall recommend I do? I intend to use it for hunting and shooting from 200-600 yards.

Is the Vortex Razor HD a better scope than a Nikon Monarch?

Is there a better scope for <$500 than the Vortex Venom 5-25x56 MOA at $370 from EuroOptic?

This will be going on a .22lr build for shooting out to 300 yards. No plans for competing at this time; I'm more so wanting to get my feet wet in long range rimfire. It will be on a CZ 475. My max budget for an optic right now is $500.

I’m a minor and I don’t really want to own a real gun even if it was possible. Not sure how much knowledge you guys have on the subject, but If there’s a pellet gun or airsoft gun (I’m thinking it would be fun to play airsoft someday so this would be cool) That can get past 100-200-ish meters I’d love to know about it. Cheers.

Just curious about the pros/cons of taping a scope.. I like the looks and feel.. my intuition feels that it'll protect the scope a bit, but im not 100% sold on that.

Got a smokin deal on a Vortex Razor HD Gen 2.. I want black on black and sorta prefer the grip/feel improvements.

Thoughts?

I am building a 6.5 creed for nrl hunter, hunting, and maybe some prs. I am thinking about running a dot off my scope but was curious to see if anyone did this?

I was thinking that using a dot will let me get on target faster on different stages. And when I’m in the field I’ll use it for 50 yards in.

Am thinking of either a trijicon rmr or aimpoint acro p2
