Well there's the problem!

If you could crank out a couple of those and then 4-5 of these to hold my range cards and my positive affirmation notes that I write to my self that say things like "That's the face of Operation", "Looking good", "Creedmoors Rule" and "Keep it operational".

I'd also like it to be a low quality, rough and uneven printed piece. You know, the kind that has a surface finish like a dollar store wood rasp.

“That’s the face of operation”

Ah hahaha.

Yep those PRS guys are the junk!!! Don’t believe me, ask them. Hard to miss a steel plate the size of a 747 at 600!

Ask them what a “X-Ring” is and they Babel and stutter like monkeys. Guess there’s a reason their banging away at steel plates and not at least shooting F-Class. Some have lived and died the “Steel farse” and the groupies and so called “Proteges” that followed. TRAGIC!

Come on guys! A group needs to be at least respectably close to your aim point.

What I don't understand about PRS is where they went wrong.  The intent is alright- it almost looks like they're going for some of the live MOUT training we did in the service.  But then I watch a video of some fat dude wobbling around with his tricked-out-M-Forgery and someone calling his targets as if he can't see them himself with the naked eye.  People talk about the "challenge" of it, and all I can think is "I'm not what I think is a long range shooter, and this doesn't look that hard." 

Then I'll see another video of a bunch of guys standing inside a bus and shooting targets out the windows.  Totally tactical bro - except WTF is going to stand inside a bus with a bunch of tangos conveniently stacked on ONE side of the bus?  Oh, probably the dude from Call of Duty.

Then I'll see another video of some dude having to run "for time" over to a "roof" to do an "overwatch" shoot, lay his blankey down so he doesn't get too uncomfortable, and take a full minute to knock out 4-5 static steel targets that are all under 500 yards with his 5.56....

Like I said - I think the concept is alright, but maybe tighten up the regs a bit?  And maybe bring in some actual JSOC Vets to help design the courses?

I say that to myself every morning when I get up.

I've got a good friend who got into the PRS thing about a year ago and I still haven't stopped making fun of him. He takes it so serious that he can't see that they've become a caricature of themselves. I don't doubt that it's a fun sport, but running around and playing "Call of Duty" while shooting of home made obstacles using couch cushions and tripods and thinking that it's real world training is pretty funny. I just get a kick out of them complaining that something like a 243 has too much recoil without a muzzle brake.

My same buddy has been a match director at a couple of shoots and always asks me to come shoot the matches. I won't do it until they let me run it with one of my hunting rifles. I can see it being great practice for a hunter to come in and shoot from odd positions and off different rests with their hunting rifle at targets out to 500 yards or so. They won't let me shoot my 375 Ruger or any of the 338s though so I'm boycotting their games.

I have considered going to one of the matches wearing this shirt though.

You need to do a PRS “Crew Clown” T-Shirt! Or a group of them standing around Patting each other on the hind ends, telling each other how great they are. Hahaha! Bunch of clowns 🤡

Hopefully that wasn't a precision rifle.
The bolt stop hits the back of the recoil lugs on the bolt, usually lapped to the receiver on a precision rifle. Beating the back of the lugs during rapid bolt manipulation only undoes the lapping by putting small dents in the lapped mating surface lug.

Precision is a pretty generous term for this rifle. If it can hold MOA to 1 mile it’s good enough for me. The fact that this gun even functions surprises me sometimes!  Like Jay.sharkbait said, there’s a fascinating story behind this rifle. As far as lapping, I won’t let any gunsmith hustle me into paying for that. Besides, lapping the lugs on a Lawton is like installing a custom exhaust on a 2001 Hyundai Accent.

Yorke must just be a beefcake of a PRs guy. Do you happen to be a crossfitter yorke?

Only on show days; the rest of the time I wear my normal clothes. Wait, that’s cross dressing....... never mind.  I’m not allowed to play with the PRS guys because I won’t shoot a sub-30 caliber rifle unless I can get over 3200fps. Apparently somebody’s worried that the 6.5 Badger launching 160gr bullets at 3400 fps may be pretty hard on their targets. 

I'm interested in the 6.5 badger! That speed and bullet size is intriguing to say the least

The 6.5 Badger is Biggerhammer's brainchild, but he made me do all the real work. My barrel is still shooting well after about 300 rounds with the 160 Matrix. I believe Biggerhammer smoked his barrel at around 200 rounds trying to see how fast he could get a 140gr bullet moving.

Eek. I can't be buying barrels that often! Given my budget I need close to 1000 rounds per barrel.

I do like the 6.5s, and have a interest in sending the 147s and 160s over 3100 fps. My platform right now is a 6.5-06AI.

Should I print those 3D quick change versions for the next time you decide to get your "operator" on?

If you could crank out a couple of those and then 4-5 of these to hold my range cards and my positive affirmation notes that I write to my self that say things like "That's the face of Operation", "Looking good", "Creedmoors Rule" and "Keep it operational".

I'd also like it to be a low quality, rough and uneven printed piece. You know, the kind that has a surface finish like a dollar store wood rasp.

That's so "B" team operator.........

Real 3d operators go out at night and are low drag..LOL

[Biggerhammer]

Yes... Yes... Yes! I like the dark and I like things that glow green. Matter of fact, there are three little bright green glowing things under one of my pillows at night along with a Surefire. It’s about as American as it gets!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Perfect, I see that you’re already catering to the PRS/Creedmoor/Instagram operator group by making those for Vortex optics. Can you make a matching one to use as a tie clip for when I wear my Vortex clip on tie while operating with my Creedmoor at the after hours PRS rave?

I actually did some samples for a cancelled series called "The Frugal Operator".

I'll see if I can dig them up....

Just ordered a new bolt stop for the Tikka (Finnish for 'Whimp Stick")

Nothing like paying $39.99 for a supposed lifetime product.
