i went with a remington 700 308 5r... and trigger tech special... super satisfied with groups... the hornady app is great for dope... works real good... buy lots of different brands of ammo and group all of them to find the most accurate one... good luck!!!
I built a 6.5 PRC 24" Howa 8.5 lb barrel in an skeletonized SCSA folding chassis. 2 stage trigger adjustable. Vortex 5×25×56 strike eagle on 20 moa rail. Overall length with compensator 49". Total weight 15.2 lbs. Shoots out to 2000 yards. Recoil is less than my Diamonback ar15! I have about $2000 in it. It has a long list of goodies not mentioned!😊
I'm building a mid range Howa 24" 6.5 CM + Burris 4x16x50 Eliminator III + Accu-Tac SR-5 G2 bipod + KRG X-Ray chassis hybrid precision/hunting rifle. The Burris has a built-in laser range finder with automatic BDC hold over calculation displayed right on the reticle. Haven't decided on a muzzle brake yet. Total cost is around $3000. 😁
@NEC Avenue why do so many folks build their rifles on the 6.5 Creedmoor that utilizes the .30 Thompson Centerfire verses the 6.5 PRC which uses the 300 win. Mag case? The PRC has a better bullet coefficient! Shoots flatter! Shoots further! And is considered a magnum. Just asking.
@NEC Avenue factory ammo over the years has greatly improved and the cost has gone up. I've watched my Hornady 147 grain match double in price just in the past 2 years. As in other rifles and hand guns I got into reloading to cut costs. What I noticed was when checking my hunting rifles for accuracy before hunting season I found I would get an occasional flier. So I started measuring total cartridge length. Out of 20 rounds I found a few were different. By reloading I could eliminate that factor. So I started randomly measuring powder weights and sure enough it to was different. Plus by reloading I could experiment with different loads to get better performance and ballistics. Now I reload my long distance loads for accuracy and actually can assemble a round that's better and less expensive than factory ammo. The problem though lately has been getting the cases. You normally can't get more than 3 reloads out of factory cases. Factory ammo is at about $3.95 a round verses $2.00 for reloads. My reloads are more accurate!
You’ll talked about all the good stuff. But you failed to mention a price. Even if it is slightly adjusted would have been nice to know an approximate of some of the items
The action is about $1000, the chassis is about $1500, barrel blank is about $400, scope $2200, bipod $450. gold knob/mount $85, tuner brake $250. Over $6000 and that's not including any tax, or the custom anodizing or custom gunsmithing that was done.
Extremely proud and happy for your success and knowledge expansion within the gun community while you lead. Especially because I gain and try and spread a lot of the great info that you inform us with. Thank you!!
Hey Colion. I am a huge fan. Noticed that most of your videos involving gun review sorta videos are more towards precision guns (in the long range catagory) and not so much into the hunting rifle catagory (sure there are other youtubers that fill that catagory well) But there are now alot of hunting/precision rifles that work really well for both categories. I was just curious if you had a chance to check out the new Bergara B14 squared crest. which seems to be a great range shooter as well as hunting rifle. Probably not because its super new. But as ive been looking into it there isnt many content creators looking into this gun. No big deal if its not your thing or not interested. I was just curious if you had any thoughts on it or any criticisms on it. I know you got alot on your plate so no big deal if you wernt gonna plan on it. Just wanted to bring it up. Speaking of new guns... have you checked out the new black rain bullpup? Might also be up your ally. Was at shot show 2023 and man did it look potentially like a really great design. Anyway cheers man, keep up the awesome videos.
Plenty of other guns that can run reliably and are very accurate. I have a tikka upr with a gen 2 razor hd 3 x 18. Probably 3300 over all in it. I wanted a comp gun and hunting gun, and I don't have 8k to spend on a gun 🤣. I also have the EC Tuner brake and I ran factory berger 130s and 140s through it and held a .25" group. 2" group at 460. I have been dying to go farther, just been busy. Tikka has great rifles with a fantastic action. Can't go wrong, there's also sako. Good luck man!
I would love to hear your opinion on Proof Research barrels. I love the weight savings but want a robust system. Haven't found a review on one that was used in a class or tested extensively.
The perfect setup for PRS wouldn't have a Mark 5hd on top of it, Razor Gen 3, ZCO, TT or SB would be required. Also need a Bartlein barrel chambered in a 6mm something, 6 Creed if you want factory ammo. Chassis is debatable but the MDT ACC or AICS AT-X chassis are the best for ability to add a lot of weight.
I don't shoot long-range anymore d/t life choices. However, the Ruger American + Sightron combo is supposed to be pretty good. That can be done for around $1000.
I started this journey about two years ago. I'm currently running a RPR in 6.5 creed with a vortex 5x25Viper PST. I'm consistently ringing 12" targets at 1000 yds. What I have discovered is that the ammo plays a huge part in my accuracy.
Very similar to my rig. For all those saying it’s way too expensive and keeping those interested away from the sport there are some nice factory options in the $2 -$2.5k range, there is even a different division for those with factory vs full custom setups. If you’re really interested in the sport shoot what you’ve got and enjoy it!!
I started with a Savage Axis II in 270. Dropped it in an MDT chassis and Bushnell Forge 2.5-15x50 and ringing steel at 1220 yards with my hand loads! I've got several top 3 finishes at my local PRS matches
its really about doing the math and learning the hold and of course good hardware doesn't have to be super expensive but its pretty expensive to get it right
@@reefread1234 there are lots of free and low cost apps that will really help you out. The most important thing I’ve found is having an accurate idea of the velocity and bc.
I had issues with my PRS rifle the night before a match. shot with a Ruger American had the ammo ready. it’s got a timney trigger and kydex cheek riser, Caldwell bipod. Tossed a spare brake on it and went for it. Mid pack finish.
😮 Finally a long rifle that will make you the most accurate man that you can be . Competition will make you feel incompetent. When you see what others can do that have been doing it much longer. So many things to learn. Enjoy your new journey ❤
Matt Hoover needs your help. You’ve practiced law before and, from what I’ve heard from you, you’re very well equipped. He needs an army of attorneys that will fight for him and us as a whole community because the whole case is RIDICULOUS
@@diamondbanana-pl2435 He can't help Matt, but Barnes might be able to since this case is a similar setup to the snipes case and the ATF straight up Wesley Sniped him.
@Solar Matt only advertised for the company. The company had been approved to sell them by the ATF, AND it does not make it into a select fire weapon. At best (by ATF's own expert) it makes the gun malfunction with hammer follow resulting in bursts of full auto. That was out of 4 keycards and only 1 managed hammer follow by the ATFs expert.
Beautiful rifle! As for cost...with a case (got to have one) my guess is between $8000.00 to $9000.00. (start saving!) I would also love top see those competitions your gonna compete in.
Come on man, you know everyone wants to know what it cost!! Spill the beans Colion. Let us know what a rifle like that runs! Most of us will never touch a rifle like that. Give us the full story, don’t cut it off without the climax! Thank you in advance AK
Bro is that a locking wind turret on the Mark 5 ? @3:00. if so can you share where you got that my Mark 5's all have capped Turrets and are a little annoying with the hashmark being so high id love to know when im back to exact zero on wind.
Nice plug for your buddy Derke at D1. Enjoyed all of the monolog, but really would have been nice to see some groups. It's like looking at a nicely tricked out street car but never seeing what she can do. Sure she looks pretty, but let's see it run the 1/4 mile, melt some rubber, and burn through some premium petro. So, the challenge for you is get back with Derke and burn through some 556's and show us the groupings at say 150 - 200 yards. 😀
Nice build. Careful because it may lead you to build and shoot the 50BMG. Now stretch out your legs on some ELR ranges and you'll be leaving the ARs hanging on the wall.
My PRS rifle is set up pretty close to that I like the ckyepod better and I am running a vortex razor Gen2 with the ebr-7c reticle which is close to the pr 2 except for the marks are 2/10 instead of .25 mills I do have the Leopold pr2 I am planning on putting on a 25 Creed build
If you can afford an impact action Talk to the normal people some time I can probably outshoot most even you and dont have to spend thousands on one rifle
No lie, the star of this video isn't the rifle, but it's homies overalls. I could tell from the start he was serious when he showed up rocking overalls.
One growing shooting sport is bench rest air rifles. Some of those rifles can easily get upwards towards $4000. That's not counting the scope. Some guys like using scopes like March optics which will blow that Leupold out of the water when it comes to glass.
Looks like you have an attachment on the side of the trigger guard that extends to your second knuckle that would help you to pull the trigger straight back. What is it ? Where did you get it ?
Nice to see Derek build it but its priced us regulator people out of it. I'm just getting good practicing long range shooting now. I inherited a Winchester model 70 300 magnum pre 64, & using that to learn now. Just a farmer making due with whats available.
MPA makes a great scope mount, along with Spuhr, MDT, Tier One, Aduere but I think the ARC M-Brace is the best because it is BY FAR the easiest to mount with one screw at the top. Right now it lacks the added features of other scope mounts but if you add the LRF Bridge you have every thing you need.
It's it better than what i run? For sure. I'm a poor and damn proud of it. I make my Axis 308/Oryx work as best i can. It's it "perfect"? Probably not.
