Alan, one of the alternatives to a prs can be found here.
White Oak Precision - Custom Parts
I don't know what John wants for them now but this type of stock is much more adjustable.
Not nearly as tactical and probably not an issue for you using a bipod.
Curious to see how it did today. What distance were you going to reach out to? That should be one BA rifle.
alan, what gas block are you using? if you put on a jp adjustable gas block,after you get the load dialed the barrel likes you can back off on the gas block for less recoil and quicker follow ups...daryll
Alan IDK if you bought a prs yet, but I googled something the other day and lo and behold the SEARs website came up. Just out of curiosity, I went in. Among other things, they had a PRS for around $205. Crazy. I guess its time to start ordering a SEARS and ROBUCK catalog again... It was under their hunting gear link.
Good luck!
Thanks for the tip, Ive already ordered but thats about what I paid and Id rather the money go to Mario.
Sure. As you know I prefer locals too
I was really shocked to see AR parts on a SEARs website. (A friend of mine from Lafayette was looking for an upper when we discovered this) Especially when I can't seem to find them at the LGSs. Glad you were able to find yours.
bringing thread back to life.
40 degree day saturday, figured you might have got it out. curious how it grouped.
you mentioned that with the can on it, the recoil spring was mostly what you heard. i put in a jp silent recoil assembly and love it. with my big electronic ears on it drove me nuts hearing that old recoil spring grating in the tube, not any more.
i'm curious how your new build would group without the can on. a nordic stainless or jerry miculek flash suppressor has a lot of side blow off and reduces recoil, and i know how these group. and would the yhm 308 can group different or better than a 223 can due to less back pressure at the muzzle.
interested to hear load info on best group with that barrel.......daryll
