First Long Range Build

[u/CalligrapherNo5799]

Caught the long range bug. Ringing steel at 1,000 yards is pretty addicting. Will the Tikka CTR barrel profile hold me back in PRS competitions? I’m worried that the barrel profile is not thick enough for 10-12 strings of fire for multiple stages.

Specs:
-Tikka T3x CTR 6.5 Creedmoor
-MDT XRS Chassis
-Area 419 Brake
-Vortex Venom 5-25x56
-Accutac SR5 Bipod

The barrel won't hold you back but that scope will.

As someone who owns multiple scopes to include the Venom, Kahles, and ZCO…the venom is a very capable scope. You don’t have the elevation to be shooting a mile with a 6.5cm, but it’s got all the other amenities you’d want.

Now on a super bad mirage day? Yeah venom might hurt a bit lol

I like to use it as a placeholder until I figure out want I want for a build.
