When I was messing with Comp tuning on my MPX at the beginning I found anything heavier then 115 there wasn't really a reason to run a comp or not on a 16inch barrel. on the shorter guns such as the 8 inch barrel and 4 inch barrel I believed the Comps did help out with 124 and 135gr bullets, but overall the shorter guns were more jumpy in movement compared to the 16inch guns. AVG power facter I was running with all loads was about 135-140pf.

I was just looking over my invoice and realize it was dated for June 15th of last year. I was wondering if anyone has received their JP-5s yet or I'm just very unlucky.

I used a Aimpoint T2 on a offset warne mount for a few years and actually liked it better then a MRDS. But I went with a MRDS just due to how often you would use it and a t2 weighs more.

Thank you I looked their club up, unfortunately it looks like they run there matches on the 3rd Sunday of the month. So It looks like I just missed it.

I'll be traveling to Little Rock, AR for "work". I was wondering if there is a USPSA match that is in the area being conducted on those dates?

I haven't messed with any of the 3 barrels you mention in your first post, but have played with Larue 12" stealth barrels and I do find them pretty damn impressive in the accuracy department. All his barrels are 223 Wylde Chamber and 1/8 twist, I think 12" is the shortest he offers. The trade off is weight but the barrel I used were better then MOA at 200 yards using 69" Sierra TMK's. Maybe something to look at.

I’m using the Laser max uni-max green rifle laser on a pressure switch. In direct sunlight I can only see it 7 yards and in. It’s mostly used during weak shoulder switches so I don’t have to waste time trying to get my non dom eye looking through the scope.

I agree with Charlie whole heartily. We received an email from our section coordinator about this very subject about a week ago. Since my match was next one up on the calendar, I decided to do my best to follow the "180 guidelines" when creating my stage designs on paper. By the time it was all put on the ground and I had reviewed all the stages for "infractions" I ended up needing over a half dozen extra barrels, 2 extra walls and a butt-ton of No-shoots that did not serve as any type of shooting challenge. To make matters worse since I was busy trying to fix the "violations" on the stages, I missed the fact that two stages I originally designed to be fun move & shoot style stages became "plant and turret with your hi-cap", which I would normally catch on my stage review and fixed. Honestly, that is what pissed me off the most. Where does the thought process end on this either? If I create a stage with a down range start where the shooter has to move up range, do I also need to block visible targets at the 210* angle, as well as the 181*? Where does the madness end?

How were you able to convince Sig to end you a Gen 3 BCG?!?!

I'm nearing the 1.5k mark on my MPX PCC gun. Gun is all factory with running Ball M882 ammo at matches, practices has been a mix of factory and 115gr reloads I had loaded from last year. I want to get a little closer to 3k fired before I make judgement on this gun. But so far no Jams, issues or what have you's outside of running the gun dry without lube one time.

I use the Bladetech mpx pouch canted a little more then horizontal in front of me at 1o'clock bullets down for fast reloads and I keep another pouch with a 20rnder at the 8o'clock position at a more traditional vertical setup for my 'just-n-case' situations

Oh boy.. "Gen 3" pcc - is just past 600rnds, no issues Gen 2 - was at 6k+, only craps out at major matches Gen 1 - 12k+, gun will not make it through a full mag without jamming. Gen1 has been sent back to SIG once. Still not 100%. The Gen2 is actually my gen1 lower with gen2 upper with 4" barrel to keep it SBR legal. I have not moddified the PCC variant in anyway yet. Fingers crossed hoping this one last longer.

Back on topic. I just received my LOT for the year. I'm not sure where the 1300 FPS talk is coming from but the M882 Ball is shooting just shy of 1150 out of my Beretta M9. I weighed a couple of the bullets too. they are closer to 112-113g not 115s

I like the fact they show what every MPX owner wants to do with their gun when it jams on a stage...

Quick question, are external frame weights allowed in Carry Optics? I'm going over Appendix D7 and the only thing I saw that was forbidden was adding a flashlight but no mention of adding external weight.

I had a chance to play with my NX8. The eyebox is tight at 8x, but considering I have shot the past 5 or so years in limited I highly dought I'll need all that power for 500 yards and in. The glass is super clear and even at 6x I had no issues mounting and dismounting off the rifle for quick shot. The 1x "reddot" makes me gitty as a limited shooter, I had no issues hitting 200 yard targets with the scope on 1x with the dot being blistering bright. I think people are getting to caught up on short eyebox on this scope. Is it a razor? No, but it is high quality glass that's light and super short. -Curtis

Have you had a chance to play with one? Do you have anything you could compare it to such as a vortex ii-e or Burris xtr-ii 1-8?

I just ordered one, We'll see if I like it otherwise I'll unload it.

If you can get the Savage PRO HP1 6.5CM for $1k, I would say go for it. The Magpul hunter stock will be fine until you get tired of it then you should be able to sell it outright and get yourself a modern chassis system.

We need a little more info, is it a gen 1 or gen 2(AR), are you keeping your head on the rifle the same? How far forward is the optic mounted on the rifle?

Honestly if this is the case I would just get a new rifle purposed for PRS style shooting. Nothing wrong with a Mark X, but they are really designed for hunting, and like most mauser actions they don't have a aftermarket following if any at all. Keep it in a hunter configuration and keep it in your collection or put it up for sale on gun broker or a hunting forum. If your on a budget and want a good beginner PRS rifle I would look at getting a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5CM or a Ruger American Predator rifle and a MDT-LSS chassis in 6.5CM. They're shooters out of the box and don't require a lot of changing around. It really depends on your budget.

The cost to reberrel a mauser action is going to usually cost 50 to 100 more then your standard Rem/Savage actions due to them needing to add a relief cut for the claw extractor. It cost me some where about $700 to 800 to get my FN-SPR Spun up with a new barrel.

http://fridpa.com/ IDPA isn't as large here in Colorado as USPSA and 3Gun is but there our a few matches here. With that said they still get a good showing of shooters per match. The IDPA match that's held in Colorado Springs is held at the Pikes Peak Gun Club

Correct, the whole reason on me wanting the RX fullsize Conversion kit was to just get a deal on both the full size slide & barrel for M17 Training clone (Just needs to be close enough to matter) and a Sig Romeo1 for my X-Five for Carry Optics / 3gun open pistol. I didn't realize that the Romeo1T will not fit the RX slide, So that tells me we won't see them coming with the RX series of pistol anytime soon.

I've been sitting on my X-5 since they came out, still need to send it in to get the "upgrade" along with my Carry P320. One of the things I want to do is replace my current 8MOA Burris FF, and put on either a DPP or the new Romeo 1T 6MOA version. The only reason I haven't just bought a DPP outright is that I saw at SHOT that Sig is "coming out" with a Romeo1 with a shroud and rear sight much like the DPP. What I really want to do is wait till the Romeo 1T becomes available for a conversion kit on a full size RX. But the question is, how long will that take.. I know 6MOA Romeo1's are available now, but what I want to know with people having experience with both, do you still prefer the 2.5 DPP over the new 6MOA version. Is it even worth waiting for the Romeo1T? Reason for the conversion kit is to reproduce the M17 as best I can as it will be issue soon and I really don't want to pay sig 1k for a "replica" of the M17.
