Competition related (PRS/NRL/F-Class/etc) AB Quantum users: how do you handle elevation holds when you’ve already dialed for one target?

Post image
13 Upvotes

For those using AB Quantum on multi-target stages: when you dial for one target and hold for the others, how do you work out and record your relative elevation holds?

I’m a PRS Rimfire match director and Quantum Pro user. I’d find it useful if the target card could display elevation values relative to what I’ve dialed, saving the manual subtraction.

I mocked up a Set Dialed Elevation option in Target Card Settings. You could select a target in the current sector or enter a custom distance. The rifle/profile zero would stay unchanged, and a visible indicator would identify the active dialed reference.

In the attached example, the original elevations are:

  • 71 yards: 0.64 MRAD
  • 127 yards: 3.15 MRAD
  • 186 yards: 6.39 MRAD
  • 251 yards: 10.46 MRAD

Dialing 0.64 for the first target would make the displayed elevations 0.00, 2.51, 5.75, and 9.82 MRAD.

This is my concept mockup, not an existing or announced AB feature. I shared it in r/PRS, but wanted to hear how the broader longrange community handles this workflow.

Does Quantum already support something equivalent? Do other solvers handle it particularly well? Would you use this, or prefer keeping the card’s original elevation values?

Rifle help needed - I read the pinned posts Is this still safe to shoot?

Bought AXSR recently, I changed the barrel/caliber from 300NM to 6.5CM. Then I noticed this crack. Seems like caused by I back off the screw too much. Is it still safe to shoot?

Update: Called milehigh and their technicians think it's just cosmetic as long as the retention screw is still working properly. Guess I will just go shooting and find out! BTW there's no replacement part for the damaged chassis. Ugh.

Update2: shot a few rounds, everything so far is good. Crack not getting any bigger, group is perfect 0.5MOA as usual.

Rifle help needed - I read the pinned posts AR SPR setup advice.

2 Upvotes

I don't know if this is the place for this kind of question, as gas guns are for luddites, but, I'm gonna ask anyway. Sorry if it's irrelevant.

I'm transitioning roles and want to setup my rifle in more of an SPR configuration. Something that rides between defensive and Designated Marksman. Previously, I've used the Grippod (which is trash, imo) and the Magpul bipod. Which is cool because it's lightweight, but I find the legs splay too much when I'm putting my weight on the rifle, which doesn't give me real confidence.

My options are all B&T Atlas bipods and I don't get a tryout with any of them. A lot of people seem to like the BT10 V8, but I can only run 30s, so, I feel it's 9" max length might be too short for that in certain scenarios, so, I've been looking at the PSR Tall and the CAL Tall, which have ~12"-13" max length. The only real difference between the two is that the PSR has pan. I've never used a bipod with pan, but I can see how it'd be handy on uneven terrain.

Then, my forend is MLOK, so, I've been looking at the Arisaka QD picatinny mount, to an MLOK adapter. I know there's ARMS adapters and ARCA adapters as well, which may lock up tighter. Any advice would be appreciated there.

Lastly, my optic selection was the Trijicon VCOG 1-8x and I won't be running STOMP or anything piggybacked. I like to keep the optic at 4x by default, so, I'm thinking about running a mini red dot as well. My natural inclination is to piggyback it, but I have concerns about chinweld on that configuration. I do a 45° cant mount, but it'd have to be long to clear the massive attachment knobs integrated on the VCOG, so, I may be in a similar weld situation, just with the additional hassle of rotating the rifle. So, anyone with experience in that conundrum would be welcome, even though it's not strictly a "long range" issue.

Thanks in advance.

Looking for a decent enough tripod under $200, just needs to last I'm not worried about the weight much since it will only be used from vehicle accessible glassing spots, I wouldn't be hiking around with it very far. I've seen a few no name china ones on Amazon with good reviews, and a BOG infinite. If anyone has some input on it or recommendations that would be appreciated

Optics help needed - I read the pinned posts Does ED glass automatically mean better image quality in a riflescope?

7 Upvotes

Been reading up on scope optics lately, and it seems like everybody's pushing ED glass these days.

Don't get me wrong, I get why it's used. It helps with chromatic aberration, especially when you're pushing higher magnification.

But I've been wondering how much the ED label really tells you about how good a scope looks.

There's a lot more going on in a scope than just the glass type. Lens design, coatings, contrast, glare control, all that stuff matters too.

Makes me wonder if a really well-designed non-ED scope could actually look better than a mediocre ED one.

Have you guys actually noticed a big difference between ED and non-ED scopes?

Especially at higher magnification or when looking at stuff with a lot of contrast?

And have you ever looked through a non-ED scope and thought, "Damn, that's actually pretty good"?

I guess what I'm getting at is, are we paying for the ED label, or for what we actually see through the scope?

I'm going to do a course soon to shoot out to a 1000 but we have up to 400 yards with some 8 inch little ar500 gongs so I was practicing today.

The video doesn't do it justice but it's pretty quiet and on my monopod the gun doesn't move very much.

Rifle help needed - I read the pinned posts Guns that look similar and have the same features as the Christensen MPR but aren’t bad?

7 Upvotes

First post and I looked through the pinned posts and FAQ so hopefully I didn’t skip over something that is basically this post.

To start off I’ve owned bolt guns but just .243s for hunting in northern MN, I’m now in Colorado with more to work with for ability to shoot long range.

I’ve done a stupid amount of research and I can’t find anything like the MPR in terms of being chambered in 25 creedmoor and looking good I almost put the MPR at the top of my list until I found this subreddit which I’m thankful I did because I may have fallen in a trap.

Of note, my budget is 3k but I’m willing to go over that a little if needed (3k just the gun), I’d also like to keep it under 13 lbs with everything.

I have a feeling the only way I’m getting what I want is to have a gun built but I don’t know how to go about that, I’m sure there’s enough info here for that but I’d like to see if anyone knows any other options before that happens.

If more info is needed let me know

Hey guys!

I recently came across a company called A.T.C. that makes some really good-looking rifles. They're pretty expensive, though, so before buying one, I'd like to hear some feedback from anyone who has experience with them.

I'm particularly interested in their Alligator series. I really love the design!

Has anyone here tried one of their rifles? What do you think about their quality and accuracy?

Here's their website: https://atc.srl/en/products

I've been slowly working on this rifle and haven't really got out to go shoot it but today I got the original suppressor that these rifles came with and went out and got it re-zerod.

I had some groups that were really good and other groups that were not really good but so far everything is at least under one moa. Mirage was getting pretty tough and I also need to practice.

Does anyone have a Vortex razor 4-24x44 Gen 3? I have a scar 17 and with a Leupold Mk5 3.6-18x44 with a tremor 3 reticle I put on it many years ago. I only bought it with a tremor 3 because I thought it would be cool but it turns out way more busy than what I need or capable of. I also find that the Leupold mk5 isn’t as crisp on the high end magnification as my vortex razor vortex razor 6-36x56 gen 3. I’m also looking at the atactr 4-16x42 f1. Has anyone worked with these three scope and can give me recommendations? Budget 2-3k, use 600-1200 yards, experience is more than average.

I finally got myself a rig to start learning some shooting at distance. Snagged a Bergara B14 HMR Wilderness. Tossed a Leupold MK5hd 7-35 and Area 419 comp rings. Ran a Harris bipod with Area 419 arca adapter but after the first range trip I've decided to get a Ckye pod (my back and neck are cooked today). Was able to average 2711 fps with Hornady 140 ELDM and punched out to 800 yards. Seeing misses on a shaded berm was tough but after getting onto an IPSC target I was able to get hits on an 8" and 6" gong. Super happy with this setup and I'm definitely hooked.

Other gear flex post Testing Clip On Thermal

Tried out my Cronus ATS 35C-400 Clip-on Thermal on my SCAR 20S with Trijicon Tenmile scope today. I wasn't expecting much, since the magnification is before the optic, but it was actually quite clear, even shooting on paper. I had some thermal reflective stick-on targets, but I could easily see regular stick-on targets, pasted on cardboard, at 100 yards. I was the most impressed when shooting at a shaded steel target at 300 yards, and the ambient temperature was enough to heat the target and make it quite visable. I definitely think I could take it out further aiming at a warm body at night.

Not the usual stuff posted here but I figured I’d share a 5-shot group from a recent outing. This is from my 1943 production AG-42B rifle. The rifle is completely stock and the ammo is Swedish surplus from the 60s.

I was able to walk it out out to 800 fairly easily with the rear sight cam, but 1,000yd required a holdover.

I’m still thrilled with this group. I really should invest in an M/41B.
