@@TheRoadhammer379 it's all relative, but ammo isn't free and you need somewhere to shoot those distances, perhaps a spotting scope and a buddy to help save time and wasted shots.... a new ktm is about $11k in America, then you proceed to tear it up from there.....long range shooting might be cheaper in the long run, especially if you factor in injury and time off work , medical bills....
I love the workbench/ reloading setup you have. I like seeing these setups in small spaces because it’s similar to what I have to work with. My bench is in my bedroom and also functions as a desk for college work! Gets cluttered but works well for gettin the grades and makin good loads!
This video was awesome, I’m trying to get into NRL long range Style competition shooting. And this is super helpful not to waste money on some items I was looking at.
@Jason Cole Need to have: 1. High paying job 2. Flexible work schedule, 6-7 days of 12hr shift might make the purchase possible and support the sport, but it won’t allow the time to practice or go to events. 3. Family support; required if you wish to continue putting time into the sport as well as having a place to go home to(happy wife, happy life, the opposite is no bueno)!
First and sec focal is one thing, but don't count out fixed scopes. Often they are the big laugh but in many ways the most secure, less things that could f up, pro, con is as big as with variable scopes. are you comfortable with them they are rock solid and for less cash with better glass on the high end.
Fun story behind that, the production crew from the show actually sent that to us back in the day. I did a favour for them back when Gabriel did some work for a local TV network here, and the mug was a gift.
That’s amazing! Also fire that channel up man I’ve been out of the fpv game a little bit lately working on other projects but if I can be of any help just let me know.
As someone who is just starting out... And shooting a 300 Win Mag with a sport stock and barrel... I have to say that a competition stock and muzzle brake are almost in the must-have category. You can absolutely do without them. But accuracy will suffer and you're going to take a beating if you're shooting a thumper.
Really enjoyed this video. I'm looking around for some matches in the Pacific Northwest (I live in NW Oregon less than an hour from the Pacific Ocean). I've got a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor with a Vortex Viper 4x16x44 scope. I'm a retired cop who has lots of time, not much $ but still a desire to compete and have fun while doing it. New subscriber.
Nice video. Of all the things that were shown I am actually taken by the little 2-round velcro attachment. Simple, inexpensive, and something I hadnt seen or thought of before. Off to buy some velcro!
I need to try my hand at some shooting matches. We have them pretty frequently at the TCSA here in WA. I still need to get a good scope, but for now, I've been mastering the A2/A3 style iron sights on my personally built AR-15. Also been trying my hand shooting at 1,000 yards with my brother's .30-06 Winchester XPR with a 3-9x Leupold scope. That shit's pretty damn hard, especially with the rippling landscape that causes sudden swells and directional shifts in the wind.
Are those Navy Seal patches I see on your wall back there??? That frog and Punisher skull definitely I've seen them being rocked on some Seal pictures.
I went to my first PRS match today- just to observe. It was pretty much everything I've always heard you say. Of course there were the cliques; friends that have been doing it for months/years. There were also one or two newbies. I know this because I overheard a couple more experienced shooters offer advice and gear. 99% of the rifles were in a chassis of some kind but I did see one in a normal stock. It definitely piqued my interest a bit more than it already was. One thing I did see that I need to upgrade was my bag. I use a small rear bag and need something large enough to put on an obstacle
On the Howa... Hold the trigger whilst putting down the bolt on an EMPTY GUN (Please dont be THAT guy and do this with a LOADED gun), prevents the dry fire, releases the firing pin slowly.
I want to start shooting in PRS.Do you recommend a chassis or stock like the Magpul Hunter? I attend a match this weekend and really enjoyed it. The people there are super nice. Answered all of my questions.
I know that is video is kinda old. But I am just seeing it. I have noticed that you have bolt action rifles. What is the rule on semi automatic rifles? I built myself a 308 and a 6.5 creedmor rifle. I would like to get into precision shooting. Thanks for your time.
Thanks for the great video! Very informative. It clarified for me somethings I needed to know and somethings I don't need to buy. I'm looking to get into precision rifle shooting next year when I graduate school. I grew up hunting with my longest take down being 115 yards, and have shot pistols most of my life. If you don't mind I have a question for you. As a professional shooter, what rifle and scope would you recommend with a $1,500.00 budget to get into long range competitions? My understanding form some videos I've seen on here is that 6.5 creedmoor is a better round because it has a flatter trajectory. Any advice you would give me will be greatly appreciated.
Hey bud I need advice on a price friendly long range scope.i bought one off amazon and anything over 500 yards it doesnt dial correctly.any recommendations are appreciated
Honestly who shoots less than max power for precision shooting past 200 yards? FFP is definitely a want not a need. And I own both, I hardly ever shoot my FFP on anything less than 15x.
Hey brother , please please do a video on strelok pro , and show us how you use it , got the app but still a battle to get it working , would be nice to get somr tips , you know your game ... Cool vids , keep doing what you doing ....
HI Piet I am using a Swarovski Z8i 2-16 x50 P with a 4A-300-I recital on a Mauser M03 308 rifle. I have only used it for hunting. I would like to start precision bench rest shooting. Because of licensing I would not like to get a new rifle. What are you thoughts on changing my current setup for both hunting and competition shooting but if I was to get a new setup please suggest a cal and rifle in the nice to have.
Hey Piet nog n idee vir n video, wat sal help, is hoe om die wind te lees sonder n Kestrel. Dit is n aktulel kwessie veral as jy dit toepas op jag en vinnig skiet. Ek sal graag jou idee en opinie daaroor wil hoor.
Any scope or reticle suggestions? I'm currently looking at both the tremor 3 reticle either the HoVr scope or the mark 5hd. And the Athena BPR mill reticle but leaning more towards the tremor. Any other suggestions or were my choices good picks?
Cool channel and liked all your vids. TYVM. Precision shooting... 22.4 vs 24 vs 26 inch barrels. Is there a preferred twist rate per barrel length or benefit to 5R twist? Need to have vs want to have...??? Ty
For those with vision problems a first focal plane is useless because the reticle disappears. So if you can’t see the reticle what good is it. Just because first focal plane is the latest doesn’t mean it’s the best for everybody.
Piet I have a question I have cerebral palsy so can really only run a gun( right hand is stronger then left side) with one hand for PRS competitive shooting how light is the MDT chassis going to be putting a savage 6.5 grendal but also how much moving is involved in it because I would love to have your job keep up the awesome videos!!! -Mat
Hope you are reading this: Does the throw lever block the bolt handle when the lever is all the way to the right (I guess max zoom)? It looks like the throw lever is behind the bolt handle and therefore could interfere.
Just found your channel and love it. I have been training with CZ 455 24" barrel, topped with a Vortex Viper PST FFP 5-25X50. I am researching centerfire rifles to purchase and wonder what your thoughts are on the Tikka T3X TAC A1 in 6.5 CM ? In the U.S, they are $1800.00. Is there something else you would choose in the same price range with comparable features?
Tikkas are awesome, I would lean towards a Rem700 ADL if you can find one. Simply because you'll have more options to upgrade it later. PS, Your CZ setup sounds just like mine :-)

A lot of ranges do to be fair. A suppressor will function similar to a muzzle break in terms of recoil, you just have to watch for heat build up, as it won’t dissipate in a suppressor like it will on a muzzle break. I have a DPT suppressor that I used on a .300blackout bolt gun and it was great. It’s made up of modular baffles so you can add or take away more baffles chambers to suit. Makes it easy to clean as well.
