r/longrange

Needed a spotting scope clamp mount to attach to a range table for checking 100yd zeros and starting to dabble in long range shooting. Nothing really on the market and I didn't want to spend the money on a good tripd just yet.

Had some spare large Dewalt clamps, 1/4 -20 hardware, and ratchet wrench as a handle for vertical adjustments and locking down movement. It came out a pretty decent option that is height adjustable and able to clamp onto all sorts of edges. Pleasantly surprised with the functionality.

Built a sportsman’s class rifle and getting some drills in before try my first NRL hunter match. Wanted to practice some follow up shorts and holdovers on 300/400yd targets.

Rifle: tikka T3x CTR 24”
Optic: razor LHT 4.5-22x
Bipod: mdt mountain bipod
Supressor: AB raptor 10
Overall weight. 11.8lbs

My Wilson Combat WC10 with a Criterion heavy hybrid 22" 6.5 creedmoor barrel. It's mostly built from Wilson Combat parts except the Geissele SSA-E trigger, VG6 epsilon brake, and Magpul PRS Gen 3 stock. The scope is Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 with a Midwest Industries 20 mount and the bipod is a Atlas BT65 Gen II CAL.

Great course by Gun4Hire range in NJ but we went out to Tommy Gun Warehouse in Pennsylvania for the actual shooting portion of the course.

Got to sight in my Bergara and my AR.

Got a competition coming up at Gravestone, have been watching some videos of people shooting PRS there,luckily there’s some videos with people shooting it. I’ve never shot there personally though, anything to watch out for? Switchy winds, etc? Anything special to prep before shooting there?

Thank y’all for the help!

Just a work in progress, and it was a nice photo.

Looking for a Quality suppressor for my M40ish rifle
I’ve looked at Diligent defense Enticers, LPM and OCL hydrogen.
Specs 308 R700 5R 24” barrel.
Any help, suggestions or recommendations is greatly appreciated. 🤙🏼

RPR in 6.5CM shooting Hornady 147gr ELD Match @100 yards through Athlon Ares UHD. 4 groups of 10. The first 6 shots at the center were zeroing shots as I just got the scope mounted today and needed to finalize my zero. Then I aimed dead center and adjusted POI with the turrets to hit each corner. Shot in this order: top left, bottom left, bottom right, top right. Each group took about 10 minutes to shoot

Here I was thinking I can shoot 1/4 MOA. But hey at least now I know where I'm really at.

Any constructive feedback from these groups? My 300yard line was closed today but next time I go out I'm gonna try some groups over there and see how it goes.

Current setup doing China Cabinet overwatch:

Seekins PH2 NRL 6.5 creedmoor

vortex rings

arken ep5 gen 1 5-25x56

area419 hellfire match

area419 4.25" arca plate

harris sbrm 6-9

leofoto sa-364cx with their ma-40x ball head

To preface, I can't outshoot this setup. There are a few things that I wish it had that could be solved by a ph3 or other new rifle. However, I just want to buy once and cry once and step into a custom action and buy over time while I shoot the barrel out of this.

With the growth of NRL hunter, PRS, new divisions, and the development of nas3 and peak, is there a buyers guide for custom actions yet? I want to buy a custom action, but truthfully they all seem pretty much the same to me. I want prefit barrels and swappable bolt heads so I dont need to rely on a gunsmif. Any guidance is helpful. I have looked at terminus, defiance, impact, lone peak, and they all look the same in terms of shiny and new. Thanks

I just scored a few boxes of this for 13$ a box. Has anyone else shot this? It’s 173 Grains
