[@ChadKelly7]

Good to see you getting back around and you look to be feeling a lot better!! I had asked you about some suggestions when I was getting my build figured out. I went with an Impact action, Bartlein barrel, MDT ACC chassis, Vortex Razor 6-36, Cortina Tuner Brake, and Ckye-pod. Just added the stock weight and seems to balance well for me, but I don't know much yet. Just starting. Weighed it out to just about 19.4 pounds. I decided on 6 Creed. Just posted video last week of me assembling everything and tomorrow evening I'll release my first shots and zeroing video. I'm excited to get into learning PRS and documenting my progress as I go. Your stuff has been a great inspiration to me. Appreciate your help and I look forward to what else I can learn from you. Gotta build myself some PRS barricades to practice from and rearrange some of my range to make a practice stage. Lots to do and learn, but I'll get it down! Have a great trip, Ray!

Glad you are ok Bro . Its crazy how shit can go sideways at moment notice . Keep hammering it and hang in there . Definitely jealous of that build . Ive been looking at Seeking Havak Hit Series in 6CM . Ive never really been a fan of the CMs until the 6mmCM came out. I shot my first PRS Gas Gun Match at PNTC last weekend. I did better than i thought i was gonna do but still did horrible lol . I should of shot my 6ARC but i didnt oh well . Hopefully PNTC will be doing another one in the Fall and ill gun my 6ARC then . Awesome video and absolutely phenomenal build

Glad you’re still kicking old man. Try 33.7gr Varget, cci450, with that Barnes 112. I’m at 2900fps out of a 26”GT with that. It also shoots 105, 109, and 110 atips well but those MB bullets are cheap and very consistent to 1300 in my experience. Still have case capacity to run faster but not the goal.

[@sms9106]

Good looking rifle.

[@SModEVO]

Beautiful rifle and love the build and the explanation of why all parts were chosen. PRS use specific I’m sure it’s wonderful. Purely overall accuracy relayed, you mentioned around 0.8-1MOA. Did it ever tighten up? For the $$ that seems pretty “average” when you can get an off the shelf $800 Savage 10FP (or whatever is their current similar model) that will shoot sub MOA. I have a circa 2004ish 10FP w/ Choate stock and 24” barrel that can do 20 shots in a 2” circle at 200 yards shooting factory ammo (308 FGMM). Of course that’s apples and oranges to something that works well at PRS with perfect balance, low recoil, smooth action, etc. but just surprised the underlying accuracy potential is not better.

[@briansupermag3918]

Just from watching it looked like the 6cm in the mpa rifle had less recoil. But more importantly hope you feel better. GOD BLESS

[@XRING]

Thanks Brian! It is really hard to see and measure on camera. Thank you and have a great week. 👍🏼

[@fwod1867]

Nice one again. Hope you get completely healthy soon 🤞🙏

[@vettepilot427]

Re rifle balance, most rifles are not balanced correctly, even though they look cool for pics. Add 1/2 pound of weight to the cheek rest and see what happens to the balance. Chances are, your cheek pressure is probably much higher than 1/2 lb during actual shooting. With a competition rifle, we want the rifle to be forward heavy, this helps with stability while using the bipod and also helps counteract any cheek pressure that we may be applying in our firing position. Brakes with top ports (like the APA Gen 3) can help counteract this also. Ideally, we want zero muzzle rise just a straight rearward recoil impulse. If you experience muzzle rise with these small 6mm cartridges, you need more forward weight because the rifle is unbalanced in the shooting position and/or under recoil.

[@patrickesguerra2325]

Great video. Awesome rifles. Been watching your content over the past few months and I really appreciate all the knowledge you give. For a new shooter getting into long range and PRS would you recommend getting into a production rifle like a DD delta 5 pro, tikka tac a1, or would you recommend a custom build? Thanks for all the great content and hope you continue to recover and get back to full health soon!

[@michaellane1316]

I'll throw a couple cents into this if you don't object. I bought the earlier version of the DD pro in 6mm. Ran great except the bolt at the beginning was a hanger. 100 yard bug holes up until around 2600 rounds. It has 3300 on it now and definitely walking at longer distances. The barrel has been good. The issue I had and have is they claimed in their ad to have replacement barrels, not so. Maybe they've changed this, I haven't been down that road lately. I would recommend doing a custom action with a replaceable barrel. The buy once, cry once is better swallowed when in this sport. One needs to ask themselves what intentions for use will be. If one is eyeing anything in the competition world, the custom will be by far the better choice. If however one is not truely sure, just find something for under 1k, go out and run a few club matches. If the bug bites, then invest. Try a season of your club matches, a decision afterwards will save you tons. It's not only the exspense of the setup, it requires much trigger time, marksmanship fundamentals, group settings under a clock, etc.. The best rifles out there can only be as accurate as the individual behind it. In this, patience builds wisdom, skill is sometimes inherent or learned. The later requires the patience. Take a few courses from folks in the sport. There can be many avenues of choice. Mine would be, learn to crawl before walking and running.... Good fortunes to whatever you may decide. There will be pitfalls as well as mountain tops, keep expectations in a conservative corner and have fun......

Just curious to know why he chose to shoot with his middle finger and not the index finger. Thank you 🙏🏽

Also, curious why you chose the S3 over the S5 for the ultimate build? I have both the S3's and an S5 5-25 sitting in the box that I got for the price of an S3. Can't decide whether or not to give the S5 a go.

[@XRING]

@avalentine4255 For me it was 4 things in particular. 1. S5 had a HUGE saddle area (area around the turrets) and this limited me on some of the uni mounts that I wanted to use. 2. Size of the scope itself 3. Having to use a t6 and a t8 for the wind/elevation adjustment 4. Price difference. I know the glass is definitely better and so is the reticle illumination on the S5. However , it was more of a personal preference. 👍🏼
