You can do pretty well in in PRS type shoots with a practical rifle, but the top guys are heavily into the gear race now.
The P is for Precision not for Practical, hence why PRS is not overly practical anymore.

If you did want to add some weight buy not go full retard with the Da rail, I've been working with a gun to get some steel ARCA rails made up. Don't have any yet but might pull finger next year and get it done.

I've done a few for guys in mild. SS would be better, just slower machining time. Alloy with weight would be nice. Easier to remove the weights for hunting

Nice set up there @gimp

A nice wee write up and setup. And bring back Path Films!

Interesting that you found some magazines still have "issues" with the GT. The primary reason I've sworn off 6 ARC/Valkyrie etc is the feed issues. I had a set of 6GT dies but never built the rifle as my experiments with dummy rounds showed that it wasn't infalible either - for me it only takes 1 in 50 or so (I.e. very occasional) feed problems to fustrate the hell outta me.

The Magpul 10 rounder has a mag design issue not a feeding issue. The mag body bulges out when loaded with 10rd and the follower tilts and binds up.

The Magpul 5/6 work perfectly and the AI 10 works perfectly after a small tweak to the feed lips - it didn't pick up rd 9 which is more of a rifle/mag setup issue than cartridge issue.

I appreciate the time and effort that goes into making them, I tried once. Have started rewatching them on nightshift.

I had the same issues but when I looked at it I found that the magazine well had a lot of clearance on the sides of the magazine so I epoxied into the stock two pieces of the correct size aluminium sheet metal to stop the bulging and it feeds as it should. The mag is a bit firmer to push in and extract but I don’t care. It works
