    Leupold CDS

    I shoot PRS. I dial every weekend, run the Kestrel etc. A CDS equipped Leupold VX6 2-12 works great for harvesting deer/antelope from 75 to 350ish yards. If was trying to engage at 600 to 1000, I would use a scope with a MIL based elevation dial and a Kestrel. It works for what it is designed...

    Leupold CDS

I harvested multiple mule deer and antelope with that combination and loaned it...

    Auto dealership Jargon?

    After my GMC Sierra AT4 experience - I will ask a new car dealer "how will you handle a vehicle that is in your shop for months because GMC (Ford, Ram, Toyota, etc.) cannot supply the repair parts?".

    Investor insight please.

    Agreed - skilled labor is different for sure. I was a project engineer and ran large rebuild and new installs in paper industry and I saw crews that would work their annual schedules around hunting season. I stand corrected!

    Investor insight please.

    If I asked my employer to let me take 3 months of without pay - I would expect that employer find a replacement for me then fire me.

    Actual Cost Difference?

    As a PRS competitor, I reload a lot to get exactly the performance I need and for cartridges that are not available from traditional sources - 6 Dasher and 25x47. I load 223 in bulk on a Dillon 550 or 650 so that I can get better projectiles - 69 SMK/77 SMK or similar - at 55FMJ pricing. I...

    Last minute suppressor vote

    Clyde owns a gun store in Georgia - I bought a suppressor from him. Good to have someone knowledgeable about the issue involved.

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    Can't hold it in my bare hands. Also, didn't the Israelis make a bunch of Iranian digital wealth disappear with hack or such?

    Salomon Quest Alternatives?

    I am interested in this topic too - my Salomon goretex trail runners sole came unglued yesterday at a match. The previous pair of Salomons - the sole dry rotted and came off in chunks. I like the Salomons but consistently disappointed in the durability.

    I started my PRS journey with Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor loaded ammo then reloaded that brass many times - still have several hundred Hornady 65CM brass. I run 6 Dasher and 25x47 now and they are Alpha and Lapua respectively. I had no bad issues with Hornady 65CM brass.

    77 TMK 8208 XBR load dev

    I suspect TAC is recommended a lot because 1) it is usually available, 2) flows through a Dillon powder drop well. XBR was impossible to find for a long time
