    Oh, I get it; we did a lot of it in the Corps. What sling do you like for PRS type stuff?

    I used VTAC sniper sling because:
    1. I had it
    2. If necessary I can split in the middle with the fastex buckle.
    4. It also feels like VTAC has has a longer sling compared to BFG Vickers. Since I am slinging a longer rifle, I preferred it.
    3. It has "sniper" in its name


    The instructor had an earlier version of slingster. In my opinion most quick adjust 2 point slings should work.

    Five shots at a hundred of Hornady 140gr ELDMs.

    Finished a 2 day Competition Prep class at K&M with 16 students and 4 instructors. I would observe that 90% of students and instructors were using a version of the Game Changer - full size, schmeddium, or pint size. I use a heavy fill waxed cotton pint size and borrowed a full size to try. Was thinking of buying a full size or medium but ended course with my pint size and for now staying with pint size. Trend seems to be focusing on one bag. K&M has lots of props and focus of class was positional shooting

    I want to take a class there. I was shocked at how heavy my Shmedium is.

    I prefer the Sinclair because of the O-ring, plus the Dewey hangs up on a Model 70 Winchester's ejector and I have to unscrew the collar to get it out of the rifle.

    This pretty much sums up my position. I carbon fouling with one solvent (can't remember what right now) and copper fouling with Sweet's.

    In my father's Palma days, the guys on his team cleaned bores after every 60-round match. Looking back at my notes, I've gone as many as 156 rounds between cleanings, but I average about half of that. One or two patches following the directions on the back of a bottle of Sweet's usually does the trick.

    K&M is the Disneyworld for PRS, unbelievable facility. Access to top PRS competitors. I took a 4 day class about 18 months ago and was hooked. Joined K&M and I go there quarterly with my shooting buddy. Stay in bunkhouse. Shot one of their one day PRS matches so far. I spend way more time on precision rifle than pistol work right now.

    Yeah, the bags are heavy but make all the difference in the positional shooting.

    I have a 7 oz lightweight bag taking to Wyoming next week for mule deer hunt.

    Without a significant drive, the longest range I have access to is a 200 yard range. I’d like to learn a bit about precision shooting, and so I figured a .22lr at those ranges would allow me to do that. 100-200 should force me to make wind calls and dial for elevation, both of which are new to me.

    I’m not willing to drop custom rifle money at this point, so would a Tikka T1X in a KRG Bravo chassis be a reasonable starting point? What would be some good alternative options? I’d like to keep the rifle itself under a grand if possible, minus optics, bipods, bags and the like.

    Ammo is my other unknown, as I assume my stash of Wal Mart .22 ain’t gonna cut it.

    Yes. T1x is a very nice rifle at a reasonable price. I like Wolf Match Target for medium price accurate ammo. SK is nice too.
