PRS rifle

1

I have been thinking about buying a PRS rifle and giving it a try. There are not a lot of options for a factory built gun for a left-handed shooter. I have a few right handed hunting rifles I don’t mind shooting lefty but in a match situation where time matters I think I should stick a lefty action I got pretty excited when I seen the The Tikka ace target might be available In left handed but there is nothing available so I am pretty set on a Savage 110 precision elite

Jim do you have any insight on whether or not the Tikka Ace will be coming out left-handed ?

I am left handed and ended up building my own from prefit parts. Depends on your budget but you can build a rifle for <2k plus scope with current black Friday sales. My 6 creed is extremely accurate and you want a balanced and heavy setup. Balance means you can put a bag on a post or rail and the gun will sit on it unsupported in a shooting position. The prs guys are running 16 to 25 lbs setups. Very easy to assemble. You only need a barrel Vice and action wrench for the action you select. I would recommend a 700 clone action as you have the most accessory options. If you can screw a nut on a bolt you can assemble these setups with today’s products.

Can you only shoot that in the open class ? I have considered building a rifle. It would be way cheaper and a lot more options, but I did not want to shoot in an open class. I thought I would start in a stock rifle type class

It is open class but that wasn’t a concern for me as I am having fun and not chasing ranking. I am jut trying to be the most competitive I can be. I also have a seekins DMR in 6 arc I can shoot in the gas division if I want to shoot against a smaller group.

Just me, but I found if I start with the limited factory stuff available for us leftys, I will want to move up to what the big boys are shooting and end up spending twice. This worked better for me as I know how I am.

I think I would really enjoy building something from scratch it could be a lot of fun i’m definitely not looking to be a competitive shooter. I just wanna go burn up some ammo and have some fun with like-minded peeps I do see that by building your own platform. You have a lot more options in caliber selection.

And with a different chassis and barrel you can change calabers and weight to go form hunting to competition with the same basic setup and one good scope. I rezero every time I compete so re-zeroing for different caliber is no big deal. I have one setup, using a zermatt ti 3 titanium action, I have 2 chassis hnt 26 and a wiskey 3 pro, 3 barrels going from 6.5 creed, 6.5 prc and 300 wsm. All under one scope. Depending on what I want to do I can change out in less than 15 mins.

I really got into customs my wall of lefty love:

Looks great. Can you give us a rundown of what you’ve built?

Yeh that’s way cool

Those look great. What optics work best? I just picked up a slick Ruger Precision in 338 Lapua and need something worthy to sit on top.

Sure, the top to the bottom

1: hunting and NRL comp rig, zermatt TI titanium 3 action 20 moa rail. 3 barrels, 6.5 creed bartien steel mu24, 6.5 prc & 300 wsm proof research carbon, all 24”. Triger tech diamond trigger, MDT HNT26 chassis and KRG whiskey 3 pro chassis, area 419 1 piece rings and kahles 3x28 scope. Running a MDT break or meateater silencer. Gun can go from 10 lbs with scope and bipod for hunting to 14 lbs for NRL hunter competition

2: built for wife (also lefty) falkor 7even action 20 moa rail, proof 6.5 carbon barrel, trigger tec special trigger, mpa ba hybrid chassis MPA 1 piece rings and Zeiss LRP S3 6x36 mpa break gun is 13 lbs

3:prs rig, zermatt TL3 stainless action 20 moa rail, triger tec diamond trigger, proof research 6 mm creed steel 26” barrel l, ez tuner break or banish 30 silencer, mpa 1 piece rings, vortex razor gen3 6x36, mpa matrix pro chassis. Gun weigh 19lbs

Running accutac bipods and a gunwerks double

My scope ranking for my eyes are 1 kahles, 2 vortex, 3a zeiss

3b, i am also running a knightforce nx8 4x32 on my seekins DMR in 6 arc that I nodded with a trigger tec diamond trigger and arca rail.

To the guy that asked about scope recommendations thilese are all great but the kahless is fantastic. If you are looking at elr for your 338 and can afford it I can’t recommend kahles highly enough. I compared mine to the zco and perfered the kahles. I would also look at the 8 x 40 for elr. I do also really love the vortex. Kahles field of view is just much larger.

Note the optics are subjective and you need to see what works best for your eyes

Roger that Ghost Rider, good gouge.

I think my next gun is going to be 337 lapua or 300 norma let us know how yours shoots!

14

I have a 300 WM in Savage 110 Precision on a MDT chassis…. A shooter. Hope the 338 shoots as well at 1500+.
