Flashy.

I'm not normally one for super extravagant designs, but this still looks pretty good to me. Different which is not alwasy bad.

Good work.
 
I'm curious, is 6XC the most accurate at distance in those medium calibers? How about 6 Creedmoor? Or is there an ease to components or reloading for one or the other?
Great looking gun!
 
6 Creedmoor is every bit as accurate as is any of the medium 6mm there is . More driver it seems then the round. I know the top 3 this year that finished were using them. 6x47, 6xc, 6 Creedmoor all are very accurate and fun to shoot. Components seem to be about the same I think. 105 hybrids are thin up here as well as brass for the most part but all can be had in the US and brought up quite easily. I know all the 6XC we have built were all in the high .000,s and low .100s on 5 shot groups in the first 5 to 8 rounds down the pipe....had me believing in em :)
 
PRS matches are won and lost on positional and barricade shooting. Don't get me wrong, you need an accurate gun to be able to hit the sub-MOA targets on the KYL racks and various prone stages. But if you can't hit 1.5 MOA targets shooting from barricades, tripods and other unstable positions, you're not going to finish near the top.

In many ways PRS is like Service Rifle; bringing a barrel heavy bench gun to a match is going to hurt you more than it helps you. Focusing solely on getting the ultimate accuracy out of a stable prone position is not the recipe for success. So, the small differences there may be between those catriges is meaningless if it even exists.

oh yes...all are great performers for sure and a guy has to be able to hit form all positions and even the weak side but when it comes down to each shooter being equal the only difference will be who has the more accurate and repeatable rifle. Oh...and as Joe Wall tells me...a little luck never hurts a fella too...hahahahah

If the rifles were similar in weight and balance, then sure. But, if the more accurate rifle is more accurate due to having a long truck axle barrel that makes it muzzle heavy, unbalanced and impractical to shoot offhand, then it will actually put that shooter at a disadvantage in spite of being more accurate and repeatable.
 
Thanks dude...we wanted to try a few things and the barrel didn't come out the way we wanted to so it was redone in red. No edges to make it look worn the same n stuff. Think and AR would be cool as it has a lot of edges and nooks to make it work. Barrel is the Heavy Palma which is the most popular barrel run in the PRS as it leads to a well balanced and accurate rifle. Glad ya like it guys

What's the weight of the rifle.?
 
22 or 26 inch barrel the 6 CX shoots the same and will even run the same speeds with different powders. Accuracy is not dictated by barrel length really. We have built from 22 to 26" and 3113 FPS on a 22 and 3080 to 3120 FPS on a 26. I prefer the 22 inch myself but went 26 based on a referral form Joe Wall for the comp guns next year. Number 2 and 3 left to come in the next few days guys...keep ya posted
 
Manners carbon and 591 surgeon with 26 Inch HP....9 ish pounds but I could toss it on a scale to be sure for ya Pitbull
 
Are you going to use the LRA in matches? I love mine but it seems like most guys are going with the smaller Harris and Atlas bipods in the PRS.
 
Not 100 percent yet...
Still trying this one out on a lot of positional stuff and it seems ok to me but it does eat a few more seconds off the clock to set the legs out vs the harris spring loaded legs...
10 times as solid in a prone position and off a barrel structure so I don't know what my trade off will be...might use it...might not. Time will tell I guess.
