Have you found a throw lever for those other than the 3D printed ones from MK machine? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

No worries! My app glitched and triple posted a couple posts back, so [emoji2369] Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

The rifle I'm shooting right now has an rt6 on it. I like it, but I think I'd like something different more. The bdc reticle in it is calibrated for 55gr bullets running 3200fps, and I can't even get close to that with my 16" barrel. With 69gr bullets, they line up at 2900fps, which I also don't think I can do. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Thank you for putting it that way. That's way more productive. I hadn't really considered shooting factory, but I easily could with a plug in the shotgun and downloading my pistol mags to 15 rounds. I'm going to shoot a couple some rifles with 1x optics and a couple different 1-6x optics next weekend, and I'll decide from there. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

The guy who recommended the Athlon prism scope is a huge fan of their products. I believe that's what is on his practical division rifle. How would you compare it to the other scopes in the price range? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Apparently my post got cut off. I guess the less than symbol does that... Most of the matches we shoot are less than 125yds, but we shoot some state level matches that have shots out to 425yds. I feel like I would be faster 90% of the time with a dedicated 1x optic, but everyone in the practical division uses a 1-6 or 1-8, so there has to be something to that. I also don't want to give up the help on those rare long shots. Someone give me some insight please

Hey guys, I know this topic gets thrown around a lot, so I'm sorry. When I started shooting 3-gun last year, I knew so little about what i needed or wanted in gear that it made buying easy. After a year of shooting, I figured I would know exactly what I want, but it's just harder to decide now. I'm picking up a second rifle because my girlfriend and I have been sharing one, and I can't decide on the optic to put on it. We use a Burris RT6 now, and it's fine. I like the glass in the vortex stuff better though. I'm also strongly considering a prism scope. Most of the matches that we shoot are Right now the candidates are: Vortex strike eagle 1-6 or 1-8 (1-8 isn't as clear on 8x as 1-6 on 6x) Primary Arms 1-6 Athlon Midas BTR 1x Prism scope Vortex spitfire 1x (super clear, great reticle clarity, and almost disappears in my FOV) Vortex Sparc (only $80 if I bundle it with the rifle) Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Got it! Heated it with a torch and used an open end wrench to get a solid square hit on it. So much junk under it. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

The gas block on my rifle is super stuck. any suggestions for getting it off? It's currently soaking in Kroil. I tried hitting the back of it with a dead deadblow hammer with no luck. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

My thoughts too. And they have a package deal through the end of the month with either a sig romeo 5 or a vortex sparc ar for $730. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Hey guys, have any of you had any experience with Ruger's MPR for 3-gun? I'd love to have something nicer, but I'm trying to keep a tight budget. It seems like a fairly well featured rifle for the $650 that sportsmans outdoor superstore has them up for right now. If you know of any reliability issues or quality control issues, let me know. I don't love the 2 stage trigger, or the comp, but an 18" 5R barrel, rifle length gas system, and a slim 15" handguard is a good start Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I never even considered zeroing like that. :facepalm: before 3 gun, bdc reticles were foreign to me. Definitely setting that up when I check my zero before the next match. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

It's on the list. I'm shopping for an entire new rifle actually. My girlfriend and I shoot on a snug budget because we're buying a cnc mill in the spring, so we actually both share a cheap diamondback db15 with some upgrades, and it's really hard on the rifle. I'm considering the ruger ar556 mpr so I can buy-in for cheap, and upgrade over time. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

How are those for you? I looked at those, and they should be close for my reticle. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Which 55gr? Just fmj's? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Those seem to be priced pretty well. Using 69gr load data, my ballistic calculator shows 3 inches less drop at 400, and 12 inches less at 500 than my current 55gr. Should be a goog option if the rifle likes them. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Hey guys, I'm currently shooting 55gr hornady fmj-bt w/cannelures over 25.5gr of CFE223 for everything from 5yd paper hosing out to the 430yd steel at a match this last weekend. I struggled to hit that 12"x12" plate at that range with that ammo, so I'm looking to get some better bullets to load up for stages with targets past 200yds. Currently looking at hornady v-maxes in 53gr, 55gr, and 60gr because they're still fairly cheap relative to a 69gr or 77gr SMK. My barrel is only a 1 in 9 also, so I'm afraid it wouldn't stabilize the longer bullets. What do you guys load up for longer range stages? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Yep! And I'm pretty sure crack would be a cheaper addiction too! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Hello all, Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ryan Warner. I started shooting 3-gun around the north central WV area late last year and got hooked immediately! I look forward to learning what you guys have shared on here. Happy shooting!
