  1. You can zero at 100, but I think the favorite thing to do is a 50/200 zero. That gives you something like +/- 4 inches out to 250 yards or so Most guys don't reload for 3 gun, although some do have a long range load. if I was in your position I'd find a few brands of cheap 62 grain bullets and see what they do.
  2. Most everybody shoots 55 grain bullets. Does all over the paper mean an 8 inch group or 4 inch? Buy a few boxes of different cheap bullets, you may find one that works. I bought a bunch of 62 grain American eagle at $7/20 for a rifle that had similar issues. Most 3 gun rifle is shot up close, use the cheap stuff for that. Zero your rifle for your more accurate bullet and use that when precision is needed. you may need to shoot a plate rack at 75-100 yards or shoot out past 200, but the vast majority of rifle shooting is at pistol distance or just slighty past pistol distance Just a note, you may see cheap heavy weight surplus ammo online, just make sure these are not steel core / green tip as they will put holes in steel targets and you'll to pay $$$. A magnet will let you know.
  3. It happens, that's why the military guns are staked in. Reinstall it with blue loktite and mark it with a paint pen so you can see if it's loose again
  4. So the page actually says it fits the Romeo 1T, Romeo 2, and DPP The 1T hasn't been released, and I haven't seen a Romeo 2 announced... The plot thickens
  5. The current x carry is the same as the x five. I'm not sure what changes they have in 2019 with the x full (not an x five), carry, and compact
  6. Mine is set up with the same barrel and other equivalent parts. It runs like a laser, the dot doesn't move at all. It shoots just under 1 moa at 200 with Hornady ELD and under 1.5 with 55 grain hoser ammo at 200
  7. In official steel challenge matches you do not need to pull the trigger for rimfire. I've also seen ROs allow folks to fire a round into the berm, so that may be from an old rule book.
  8. Think about a rock island. You'll spend less than half your budget on the gun leaving you $$ for mags, mag carriers, holster, ammo etc. For the gun itself, you'll need to buy a magwell and that's it. These guns are reliable and rock island has a good customer service reputation.
  9. As far as the ridiculous price of having two uppers, just pay the $200 and get a short barrel rifle stamp. Then you can compete with it
  10. I'm a very novice PRS shooter (2 or 3 club matches) so take this for what it is worth... At a minimum, the bipod should be removable, should swivel and lock, and the legs should be extendable. The Harris can do all that if you get the right one and add some aftermarket parts. The atlas has more adjustments, has interchangeable feet. I guess the bottom line is that there isn't actually a $200 difference as you have to upgrade the Harris a bit right out of the gate. the new Magpul though is cheaper than both and has features to match the atlas. That's the one I'd be looking at.
  11. Maybe they are trying a more tactical line-up to get in more dealers cases. If so, I hope it works for them. I've seen an STI in only one gun shop, and I've never seen one at a range (other than competing). Hope they can do more to reach the market. I think it's good for them dumping the 1911 which you can buy anywhere at any price point.
  12. Zeroing windage is pretty easy. Bring an aluminum or brass punch with you to the range and tap the rear sight left or right as needed. Then drop some blue loktite in the set screw hole and install the set screw. zeroing elevation requires a taller or shorter front sight. Dawson has a calculator. (Or buy an adjustable rear sight). Keep in mind that different pistol loads (bullet weight) will shoot higher or lower by a few inches at that distance. shoot at the longest range you can accurately group (20-25yards).
  13. https://cajungunworks.com/product/ezd-9-40-for-9mm-and-40-sw/ Or they have an adjustable rear sight also You will have to do some fitting (sanding the bottom face of the sights) untill they go into the dovetail. Or you can get a gunsmith to do it for you
  14. It will work with adjustable gas block Instead of an adjustable gas block, that is referring to an adjustable gas on they gas key (on top of the bolt carrier) I've never used an adjustable gas key and i think it exists only for people with a pinned in front sight post /gas block who can't/won't put a new gas block on
  15. Does the Springer Precision CZ 75/SP01 magwell need shorty or modified grips? I'd like to drop it on for 3 gun and take it off for production.
  16. Is tanfoglio making guns to IFG's specifications/requests or is IFG simply importing off the current catalog ?
  17. I have tried collet puller and grip and pull with no success for pistol. Only thing that has worked for me is the hammer
  18. I did mine with a Dremel sanding drum, round file, and then polished with high grit sandpaper paper. I just smoothed, rounded everything and got rid of any sharp angles. I don't have a picture of how it was stock to compare. No idea if it helps or not, but it doesn't hurt! I didn't do undercuts as I didn't want to pay to have the gun refinished.
  19. The original AR design is all about firing on full auto. It is over gassed and over weight to ensure it functions as intended on full auto. As long as you get it set up / tuned correctly (it's not hard), you'll have a great rifle
  20. Definitely shoot a few matches with what you have first! I don't know anybody who has broken a scope in a dump barrel. I wouldn't buy a new scope till you learn what you really want. 3 gun guys will let you try on the shirt they are wearing if you ask.
  21. as far as customer service, I had a baffle strike with my Omega and silencerco replaced the damaged parts, cerakoted the tube (it was scratched after being launched down range) and sent it right back to me fast, no charge. The damage was only cosmetic and very likely my fault, but they still covered it.
  22. Glad you got it worked out. They make a nice handguard
