I shoot a 300PRC in nearly the lightest rifle I could build without spending silly amounts of money.
Grayboe Trekker
Trijicon Tenmile 3-18x44 FFP
Christensen Arms Carbon Barreled Action
Triggertech Primary
Dead Air Keymo Muzzle Brake
I can't remember exactly what this setup weighs off the top...
I started with the Sandman-S as my first can as well running Keymo adapter. Now I've added the Diligent Defense Enticer Ti w/ key mo adapter as my primary precision rifle can.
I'd advise if you're going to go down in caliber, only go as small as 6mm CM. Some states have 6mm as a minimum for big game hunting so a .223 would not be legal for use on Big Game in many states. My next rifle will be in 6CM because I realized that I do not currently own a 6mm bore rifle. I...
I've been absolutely in love with my Otter Creek Labs Polonium. I went K but they offer the pretty standard K/S/L models so the size and sound reduction is kind of up to you. Bonus of the polonium is its actually a 6mm can so you can shoot up to .243/6CM in it. This was done to make it not so...
I just wanted to pop in here and say that I took a 3-18x44 FFP Tenmile with me from Houston, TX to Queenstown, New Zealand last week and the rifle was bounced around in a truck for 2 days, a side by side for a day, a plane ride, endured baggage handlers at 3 different airports on the way there...
My caliber by time continuum goes something like this:
.223REM/.260REM/.308WIN/.270WIN/7RM/300PRC
I would seem to be the counter cultural one on here I guess. I find the heavier high BC bullets buck the wind better in West Texas and cross canyon shots out west. My 260REM is a heavy target...

For a post that is supposed to be evaluating an optic in certain respects I don't think I saw the words "pass" or "fail" appear anywhere in the entire post, and I looked. Twice.
I realize this thread is old but I've been seeing Zeiss rings catch some heat for slipping by a well respected member on RS. I am curious if anyone else has had issues with optics slipping in these now that they've been on the market for a while? I am looking to outfit 3 different rifles with...
I had a Conquest V4 4-16x44 that went on a couple hunts and several range trips and it was always shooting on for me. I never dropped it, either accidentally or on purpose but it rode on a side by side for 2 different week long western hunts and I've been known to drive like I'm in the Baja...
Form, the Zeiss rings that you state had issues, were they the Zeiss Precision Ultralight rings with the built in bubble level? Or some other Zeiss ring? I have one pair of these and like them but I haven't intentionally beaten on them either. If there are other rings with integral bubble...
Run the 20 MOA, you'll be fine. I have a 3-18x44 mounted on a 300PRC on a 20 MOA rail and its been fine for a handful of range trips. I've been so happy with it that I ordered another one in 4.5-30x56 and I plan to move my 3-18x44 to my 308 and the 300PRC will wear the 4.5-30x56.
Are the results of this test posted anywhere yet? I jumped around and scanned all 12 pages of this thread trying to find them but they've eluded me which is shocking considering how extensive I was expecting the results post to be.
I was on a waiting list but decided to buy a house instead. The Intech just wasn't big enough. Jokes aside, I still want one and once our home is built I will likely get back on that list.
