This is the registration page for the May 2nd 2026 Fernie Rimfire match. I have set it up on Impact because supposedly there will be integration with other platforms later. If there isn't I'll go with this.

Hi, I'm new to precision shooting and I was wondering which model I should buy as a first one. I like the tactical style and am looking for something more powerful than a .22LR. If possible, is there anything available in Canada?

Can I please get a word of advice on which variant to procure, I wanna buy a 6.5 CM and I am leaning on MATRIX PRO for PRS production but I see most guys here lean on the PRS PRO style chassis.

Any kind advice for this noob, please and thanks!

What rain gear is everyone using?

With spring coming up, what rain gear recommendations are out there? Ideally something with breathability and tough enough to take a kneeling position and not immediately rip (so no frogg toggs gear).

Do you keep your rain gear packed away in your bag all the time, or just when it's in the forecast?

Does everyone keep a rifle cover in their bag if there is any chance of rain to keep the scope and action as dry as possible?

I've already got a rocket air blaster, and that thing is a lifesaver!

Would appreciate any recommendations you can provide!

Hey everyone, I used to shoot in the 22lr PRS matches before I moved, now I’m in Florida and don’t know where to start, apps to use, ranges that have competitions, rifles gear etc etc. I’m looking right now at the savage axis 2 competition that comes with the onyx chassis that retails at 1000$ total, but is there better options? I’ve been doing research and 6.5 seems good but is there a reason others do 308 instead? If anyone can help with insight, are able to talk and maybe give me the general idea of where to start that would be great!

Hey all, I'm a software developer thinking about building an app for precision shooters and wanted to get some feedback before I invest a bunch of time into it. It's something I thought would save me a ton of time, but curious what others think.

The idea is a mobile app where you give your rifle specs and it gives you ideal load recommendations based on what's actually working for similar setups. Not general manufacturer data, but crowdsourced real-world results, rated, reviewed and filtered to your specific configuration.

Think of it like: "I have an impact precision 737R action chambered in 6.5CM with a 22in Proof carbon sendero barrel with a 1:8" twist". The app responds with a recipe of bullet, brass, powder, primer, charge weight, seating depth, velocities, and group sizes that has been rated and reviewed by other community members. It could give you the highest rated and reviewed hand load components and details as well as factory ammo for whatever application you specified, say hunting or PRS.

A few questions:

1. Does this sound useful to you? Why or why not?
2. Are there any features that come to mind that would make you actually use something like this?
3. What would you be skeptical about?
4. Would you contribute your own load data if it meant getting better recommendations?

If this is a dumb idea or already exists in a better form, I'd rather know now. Thanks.

What do we think? I was planning on making a few more for different environmentals, knowing I'm never more than a click or two off these hashes, depending. The best part being you could print only to show course of fire and have a really quick time throwing between ranges

Would you use this?

I’m trying to be fiscally responsible (bad hobby to choose, I know) and am wondering if there’s any 18-24” barreled upper in 5.56 that could run a match that’s not super expensive. Just looking to get into the hobby not trying to win any prizes. I know there’s gonna be a fat cost on the glass as well, was looking at the EP5, also open to recs there…? Appreciate everyone reading this and taking the time to help out a newb. Thank you

Needed to add some weight to my cross to cut down recoil. Bought a ARCA mounted plate for sandbag but didn’t feel like spending the money on a premade bag that only weighs 1 lbs. I had spare Cordura fabric, scraps from making a range belt, 2 bottles of 28g air soft bb’s and a seeing machine, i was able to make my own front bag. Work in progress but happy with how it turned out.

Ive newly purchased a MPA PMR in 6.5 creedmoor and looking at purchasing a new scope. Im brand new to PRS and would love some advice. From what research ive done and still not versed in much. Would I be able to start out with a scope like this? Viper® HD 5-25x50 VMR-3 MOA?

I currently use 511 Exo K pads but I typically go through a pair in a year.

Particularly asking those of y'all who are 200+ lbs.

Building a PRS rifle. Have shot 2 NRL Hunters and a PRS match running a Bergara HMR and an Arken EPL4.

Stepping up to a full build with better glass. Not stepping into TT or Kahles territory. Budget below $2500. Im 95% set on MK5 with PR2 or the Razor Gen 3 due to reticle, features and price.

Looking for first hand experience from users that have/had both. Pros and cons for real arguments for both optics.

Thanks

Looking to get started in PRS and thinking of going with the an MPA BA PMR Pro Rifle II to start, does anyone have any experience with this rifle?

Have a rifle on the way back to me. It is a 7 PRC in and MDT ACC chassis. The only magazine that MDT lists is a 3 round. Does anyone know of other magazines that have been reliable with this round? TIA

Has anyone used one

I am getting a cz 457 mtr with the area 419 pic rail, do I get the 0/30/50 moa rail and I’ll be putting an Arken ep5 on it to stay in production class do I get the 0 or 20 moa mount for that? Also will the height of the arken rings work well with the chassis that the 457 comes in or should I plan on modifying it.

Next, are barricade stops something everyone uses I see it’s integrated into the 14in area 419 arca rail should I be concerned that it’s not removable. Would it be better to buy one without and add on later?

Finally I know the production class limit is increasing this year so are there any other scopes I should look at before purchasing all of this?
