Hi Dirtatv! I agree that the glass is very good, and overall I like the scope a lot. I just wish they had added a "regular" windage turret and kept the elevation turret simpler, I never know whether I'm really adjusting for zero or not with that elevation turret and it's confusing to me. I think they just wanted to be different for no real reason. Anyway, thanks for watching my friend!

@@The4GunGuy do you set your Zero at 0 or did you switch the brass piece and go to -.4 below 0 ?

@@dirtatv For the zeroing I had it at zero. For competition, since it's a 22LR scope, I'll probably set a bit below, like the .4 you mentioned.

Hi CZ503! Yeah, don't need illumination, but it's a feature so thought I'd include it. Thanks for watching my friend!

Hi Dustin! Totally agree and as I say in the video, it doesn't really matter to me. BUT, if you're gonna cap the turret, then make it larger so I don't have to hunt for the tiny numbers, which is why I beat them up a little over their "this is a PRS scope" print in their description. Thanks for watching my friend!

Hi DS! Ha!!! Yeah, I was doing a video on another optic and copy/pasted. Good catch, and it shows you were really paying attention (even though I didn't). Thanks for watching my friend!

I have two of the Burris Pro’s and I agree with your assessment. I have the SCR1/4 mil in one and the Horus Tremor5 in the other. Honestly I prefer the Gen III Vortex and run that on my Rimfire.

Hi Synapses! Totally agree with you here. And I'm really impressed with the thought that was put into this scope. You saw my review of the Burris, good scope, but they left out some very basic PRS functionality. This Discovery seems well built, and for an entry level scope, I think it's a good deal. Thanks for watching another one my friend!

Hi RT2Do! Thanks for the kind words, and I agree that if you're just plinking, or hunting from say a blind, this scope makes perfect sense. Taking it on an elk hunt in Colorado, where it will be banged around? Not sure, maybe I'll do a follow-up where I throw the thing onto the ground a few times! But anyway, just having something to see if you like PRS, this would be a great option. Thanks for watching my friend!

Hi Plinking! I know you've had some issues with them. Do me a favor and send me the information to the3gunguy@gmail.com and I'll be happy to forward to my contact there. Hopefully I can help get you settled with them. I don't mind at all.

Hi CSH! Yeah, I think if they had stuck with a "normal" elevation turret instead of trying to get so fancy with it, and then added a large, uncapped, windage turret, I would have been happier with the scope. Still gonna use it, but just not "wow'd" for $2,000. Thanks for watching another one my friend!

Hi CSH! Yeah, I really think we're paying for the name on a lot of this stuff now. This little scope is rock solid and there wasn't one thing I could say about it not being a great candidate for a PRS set up. On the other hand, I released another review of the Burris XTR PRO and it had a couple of downsides to it at 5x the cost of this scope. Thanks for watching my friend!

@@The4GunGuy No worries champ 👍.

Hi Synapses! No, I don't regret it for my 22LR, but I might if I had made this change on one of my centerfire rifles for competition, since that's what I'm really focusing on this year. I "like" the Burris, the glass is very clear and the reticle is very nice. I just wish these companies would actually consult with a PRS shooter and not leave out the little things, like that capped windage turret. I do think there are other options out there in the Vortex (think Strike Eagle), or Athlon (Ares or Cronus), and others that are better from a functional perspective however. Thanks for watching my friend!

Hi GMG! Yeah, it's pretty frustrating. I like everything about this scope, but things like that windage turret just fried me. I'm releasing a video Friday on a $400 or less scope that has EVERYTHING you would want in a PRS scope, even has Japanese glass. Talking with a buddy yesterday, we both agreed that in today's World, you're really starting to see the "pay for the name" in this stuff, as other companies are actually on par with workmanship and components. We'll see how it all plays out. Thanks for watching another on my friend!

​@@The4GunGuy Looking forward to the new video!

Hi Gus! It's the SR-5 G2: ARCA SPEC QD BIPOD which is longer than others you'll consider, but I like the added length. You may want the shorter BR-4 G2: ARCA SPEC QD BIPOD. Thanks for watching my friend!

Thanks for the kind words and for watching my friend!

Hi EpsilonNought! I would use a middle of the road ammo for break-in. During break-in, you're really looking for the barrel to "settle in" to a consistent velocity node, which will most likely climb to that node after x number of rounds (some of my rifles are broken in after 100 rounds, others it may take upwards of 200). Now, there is nothing that states that all you can do during that break-in is send rounds downrange, in fact, I've shot matches with a brand new barrel on the rifle and did just fine, as long as I understood when the barrel sped up...That's the key. But, back to your question, if you want to break in the barrel using ball ammo, I don't see and issue as long as you set accuracy expectations. Get to the range, practice your positions (see my videos on PRS stage practice) on some stages with the expectation that you're breaking in the barrel and accuracy may not be there using ball ammo. Once the barrel is broken in, I'd definitely move to a more accurate round. Hope this helps and thanks for watching my friend!

@@The4GunGuy Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words and for watching Steven!

Hi Vandorbence! You are totally correct, and on the 2nd and 3rd passes, I did use a larger brush (which I usually do) but totally forgot to tell you all about it! Good catch and thanks for watching my friend!

Hi Rook! According to the PRS rules: "2.4 Gas Gun Division 2.4.1 Gas Gun Division rifles may consist of large or small frame semi-auto precision rifles without restrictions. Gas guns division rifles will not exceed a caliber of .30 or a velocity of 3,200 fps." So a gas gun is a gas gun, no matter if it's a .223 or a .308, and so could not "span" divisions. Rules are at: prs-website-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/public/prs_rules.pdf So, I shoot the Seekins SP10, which could be considered a "production" rifle, but from a divisional standpoint, it's just a gas gun. You could trick out the SP10 with a new barrel, etc... but it would still just be in the gas gun division. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching my friend!

Hi LeftEdge! Good advice and thanks. This video was a pretty extreme example of cleaning, and I should probably have stated that at the end. I take it to the "shiny" level about every 1k rounds and then foul it up to that dull level before a match. Thanks for watching my friend!

Hi Matt! I went with a TriggerTech 2-stage Diamond, the link is below...I get nothing for promoting it, so shop where you'd like. I just like their AR triggers. I use Bix n' Andy 2-Stages in my bolt guns. Thanks for watching my friend!: www.eurooptic.com//TriggerTech-AR10-Two-Stage-Blk-Red-AR-Diamond-Pro-15-40-lbs-Trigger-ART-TRB-14-N.aspx?

@@The4GunGuy​​⁠ I appreciate you getting back with me. I don’t understand how it is. I’m a bit of a trigger ❤ myself, I have a lot of geissle triggers and they are great, but I’ve been wanting to explore other options

@@mattofjax Love my Geissle's in my AR's, but like you said, I just wanted to see how the TriggerTech would work and wanted a drop in trigger. I had great luck with TT until one day at the range practicing it went out on me, so I switched to BnA on my bolt guns. I like the BnA's because I can take them apart and clean them.

Thanks Joey!

Hi Sami! Thanks for the input, some good recommendations here, and thanks for watching my friend!

Thanks Jason!

Hi Robby! Yeah, I think I'll stick with the C4 for the carbon ring, but do like the paste of the ThorroClean system. The soaking of the ring is where a bore mop really shines. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching my friend!

Hi Sooner! The rod I use has a hole in the shaft that the handle rotates around, so the 1/4" hex key fits right into it. And since it's a nylon brush, it is never going to hurt that barrel. Thanks for watching my friend!

@@The4GunGuy Thanks. I looked at the end of my cleaning rod and it has a hole just as you described. So I think I am good to go! Perfect 👍

Thanks Yalla!

Hi Philip! I don't use JB Bore Compound/Paste or Kroil, but I know some guys who do use them both religiously to take the barrel down to "bare metal". Some guys clean that way every cleaning, but I tend to agree with the "let it be a little fouled" camp so I don't have to waste rounds (and barrel life) getting it back to where it shoots the best. As I said in the video though, I don't think there is any real "right" way, just what works for you. In the end, we're replacing these barrels after ~3k - 4k rounds, so how bad can you really mess them up in that short period of time, unless you really tried of course! Thanks for watching my friend!

Thanks Alex! Yeah, I was looking at other options, but when I really added everything up, it wasn't worth the switch. Thanks for watching my friend!

Hi Ray! Great point! I didn't have the TriggerCam yet, but it's a great idea. I may do it again some day and take your advice. Thanks for watching my friend!

Hi BimmerDude! I've shot the SP10 at a couple matches and really enjoy it, so it's all good. The brass bar from Amazon is: amzn.to/4bdFVOv and I drilled 3 holes in each bar and used these M-Loc screws/bolts to attach to the rail: amzn.to/3XyIJCE. Thanks for watching another one my friend and you'll have a blast with that SP10!

Hi Jacob! Glad you're getting into the sport and my video helped a bit. I recommend take what you have, get into a match, shoot it (go SLOW, don't worry about timing out), look at other options for PRS and maybe after a few matches, you'll see what you can do with the Grayboe to make it "PRS friendlier", or something else. I'm assuming you're action is mounted in a Terrain stock? Can you add an ARCA rail to that? If so, and you stick with the Terrain, that's the first upgrade I'd make so you can attach many accessories as needed. Thanks for watching my friend and good luck in your first match!

@The4GunGuy definitely going to take it slow, not going to think about winning a match anytime soon lol. I was a designated marksman while overseas so longer range shots under pressure don't bother me much. It's a Grayboe Phoenix 2 with m-lok slots on the bottom so I can mount an ARCA rail to it, I believe. After watching your 5 Basics video, I'm just worried about making my rifle weigh more. Even with the suppressor I'm running, I don't think it's enough and it's off balance. But I'll go to a different chassis eventually if I get more into competition. Thanks for all your videos again!

Hi Empty! Many people are moving to the 6mm Creedmoor (CM) cartridge, which can be found in off the shelf ammo now for around $1.35/rd (look at ammoseek.com). The 6mm CM is still more recoil than say a 6mm Dasher or BRA (like I shoot), but people are loving it. I did a search on ammoseek and the only one for off the shelf that is readily available is the 6mm CM, so I'd go with that and not look back. Hope this helps and thanks for watching my friend! Oh, look up my video on reloading costs and you might change your mind: ruclips.net/video/hCNRjy2e_D0/видео.html AND my reloading equipment costs here: ruclips.net/video/P0rXA59-WcM/видео.html

@@The4GunGuy thank you! I appreciate the feedback!

Hi Dan! I'm actually using a ThermoPen for checking the temperature of food! It works surprisingly well to give you a general idea of the barrel temp. I've since built my own cooling setup and may do a video on that one day. Thanks for watching my friend!

Hi Palmer! You can do a primer seating depth, but my take on that is stick with a depth (0.002" - 0.004" let's say) and just use it. If you change too many variables, you may end up with the other variables getting "out of whack" so to speak, and then, you're just chasing your tail. Again, I'm speaking from a PRS shooting perspective, but even with F-Class, there are many videos about those guys not necessarily chasing the primer seating depth. Hope this helps and thanks for watching my friend!

Hi Armeddiver! I'm just glad you found something that works for YOU. The GRND POD looks very promising, and the only challenge I had with the CKYE-POD was having to remember too many little things and buttons to make it do what I needed. Thanks for watching my friend!

Hi RC! Yes, that might be your issue. Per the manual, you want the Garmin to pick up the bullet path at least 20 yds from the muzzle. Try angling more parallel to the barrel path and you should see better results. Thanks for watching my friend!

Hi GA! IF, you're going to eventually shoot something like F-Class, then I'd say go with the 419 press and SAC dies, if you're focusing on PRS, then I WOULD NOT spend the money and go with the Forster Co-AX, the Whidden sizing die, and the LE Wilson bullet seater with the press. NOW, if you're going to hunt as well and need to load various cartridges quickly, then you may want to look at a turret press, which will make things move faster, but not sure if the accuracy would be there...MANY people will disagree with that last statement, and I have NO proof of it. Hope this helps and thanks for watching my friend!

Hi Jeff! I understand what you're saying, but we have to start somewhere and testing something, even if they are smaller sample sizes. I agree that a larger sample size would give us a much better understanding of the numbers, and my MBA Statistics professor would have laughed at using this sample size, but the reality is that we are trying to get some data while not shooting out our barrel getting it. This method has worked well for me through the 15 barrels I've shot in PRS, and even though not perfect, helps me to understand those things that I can control to reach targets at distance. Thanks for watching my friend!

Hi Fiegel21! Great question. My reamer states that the neck should be "straight" back to the shoulder with the same diameter the entire way. The reality is that at about .1" off the shoulder, the neck does begin to flare, so the bullet/neck tension is pretty consistent down say 95% of the neck. Hope this answers your question and thanks for watching my friend!

Hi Brian! App is still good and once I get the TriggerCam focused the way I want it, I don't even use the app. I'm releasing a video of another scope camera next week that is half the price of the TriggerCam and is a good choice for target practice and hunting, not sure I'd use it to shoot a PRS style match though, but it does have a place in the sport...It's called the ScopeMate Cam. Thanks for watching my friend!
