How many points of contact should you aim for, for effective shooting? Typically 2 points of contact on the rifle itself (front and rear support), plus a strong body/base with as many additional points of contact as possible for overall stability. In PRS (Precision Rifle Series) barricade shooting, "points of contact" generally refers to how the rifle is supported for stability, recoil management, and quick follow-ups. The goal is to minimize wobble while balancing speed and precision, especiall …

Last Friday I received a barrel from Douglas Barrels. I can't really say it was long awaited, because it didn't take that long for Douglas to "spin" this barrel up. It came as a prefit for my Impact Precision 737R action that I use for PRS, plinking, steel killing and rock busting. Dimensionally it is 30 inches long and tapered to one inch at the threaded muzzle. Don't ask me what the contour is - I don't know. The thick end is chambered in 6MMBR4EVER! And the other end fits AB Suppressor's Rapt …

An accomplished shooter buddy of mine is going to Tennessee for a family visit, but with the priorities a guy's gotta have, he's going to stop off at an F-Class match in Indiana on his way there. F/TR is his chosen corner of that discipline. A Kauger Arms action is the rifle's anchor/foundation, with a 28" Heavy Varmint MullerWorks cut barrel, Richards Microfit self-finished stock, Vortex scope, Leupold rings, Sinclair bipod makes up the equipment. He's running Lapua brass and Berger 185 Juggern …

My initial enthusiasm for the hunter style matches began to wane, as is common among the fickle. I'd put a rifle together that would do the deed. It shot well. But it was nearing the edge of the weight limit and it was taking the starch outta me. Remembering that I had seen three versions of LRI's Murder Hornet fluting at the 2026 NRL Hunter Grand Slam Finale, I opened their website for a closer look. It's almost like taking a new car for a test drive. I bought into it. I sent it in. I paid the …

This poor action has to feel used and abused. After all - it's mine. It wasn't the first custom action I'd ever owned, but it was the first one that got much use. I traded a Manner's stocked long action Defiance with a 6.5-284 Bartlein for this Butch's white labeled Stiller, to retire a Remington 700 when I got serious about shooting PRS. Barrels came and went, and bullets disappeared in the general direction of all the AR500 steel I could lay eyes on. For the last few years a #3 Bartlein in 6mm …
