Let's see some NRL hunter rifles

[rdramsey8]

Upgraded my optic last fall. I’ve been really happy with this set up-up so far.

Are tripods really necessary?

You could probably get away without one but they are very helpful. I shot off a cheaper vortex tripod and did fine. You dont need a really expensive one just to have fun.

I think it depends on the match. You certainly need a way to shoot above knee to thigh high obstructions at many venues. Some it’s once or twice. Some it’s every stage. Really depends on venue and match director. You could use wiser quick stix for example but you certainly need a way to get your gun up off the ground.

Currently running a custom blue printed 700 action, KRG Bravo polymer chassis, 24" custom contour barrel that SHOOTS!, Tricer double pull bipod (using short legs), and - the problem- an Arken 5-25x optic, and a Banish titanium can, (not the problem) JUUUUSSSTTT making weight by less than a half ounce and that is without a sling but with full length Arca rail. Looking to swap to a Viper PST Gen 2 5-25 Mil/FFP from the classified section.
If I swap to the Vortex, I can use the long leg sections on my modified tricer bipod and still have weight to spare for extras that I want to add like the adjustable butt height chassis add-on, VTAC sling which I love when using with my tripod, bag rider rail, and etc's or whatnots to be decided later.
Is there any reason NOT to upgrade the optic other than pissing off the Roksliders who hate Vortex for failing the drop test and not addressing that issue?
Doing my first match in Oklahoma at Best of the West in two weeks or so, although I have observed one NRL-H match and been the medic for one match, so my experience level is low in this game but my experience level in LR shooting is fair to middlin' i guess. I also host/teach LR hunting classes a couple times a year here on our Ozark farm.
Input appreciated, although I don't have time/money to do a proper upgrade to the S2H optic or a NF level optic sadly - this is an interm upgrade to get me through the first match, + a LR class in April, + one more in May in Washington.

Historically sling was considered safety equipment and thus didn’t count toward your weight. May want to verify that’s still the case. Your sling should be good to go.

Still have the peak44 stock from the ct or sold it?

 

[wpeach1912]

Made an open heavy rifle out of my PRS chassis/scope and NRL Light barreled action/buttstock. It worked pretty well for the match last weekend for shooting teams

 

[Clark33]

Out of curiosity, is anyone running a non-braked suppressor like TBAC Ultra 7 for NRL? Piecing together a rifle, don't really want to go back to a brake, but won't be able to afford another suppressor (with brake option) or NHS for a while after buying everything else for the rifle. I'm shooting for open light overall weight.

 

[ChrisAU]

Here’s some from Mossy Pond a couple weeks ago. My teammate is the first one, mine 2nd. We dropped a total of 11 shots for the weekend which was unacceptable so they’ve been torn down and parted out already

 

[KineticPerformance]

I've used non-braked cans for all kinds of matches to include NRL.

I have done it with an unbraked scythe for open light. The rifle isn't as easy to control, but certainly doable.

I sold it!! Do have a McMillan hunters edge sendero I’ll be putting up for sale.

 

[PKR]

Here’s mine
ARC CDG
Proof 24”
DD Sti
525i
Now has a double pull which I prefer much more. Quicker to deploy and I shoot better off of it.

How long do these matches usually run? Preparing for an all day event

 

[Lorxus]

Silly question - for NRLH, is the weight limit including a mag? If so, does the mag need to be loaded? What about quivers? Do *those* need to be loaded up? I've never shot NRLH before but keeping meaning to, but I've only got the one 6.5 Creed that I'm using as a PRS gun, and it's a touch heavy for NRLH if you need to load it down.

No mag at weigh in

The regular Hunter matches are 3 days. Friday is weigh in, power factor at some, 100 yard site in range and safety meeting. Friday is typically 1pm-5ish
Saturday all day more or less
Sunday wrapped up by maybe 3-4

But more or less, 3 days, 18-20 stages

Then there’s the game matches which are just a one day, 10 stages or so

Can’t speak for all cases just my experience
