[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1580973, member: 10291"] I can certainly understand what you are saying having had similar experiences and impressions..... until I became active in PRS competition. It’s kind of reminiscent of my getting into IPSC back in the early 80’s I can remember rarely, if ever having one of my 1911’s fail to operate until I began heavily participating in IPSC. IMO, a season of active PRC competition/series may very well subject a rifle to the equivalent of many seasons, or in some cases, a lifetime of hunting, other forms of competition, or general shooting use for many shooters. I have seen more of what I would have considered top quality triggers, actions, scopes and barrels fail that I would not expect to see even under the harshest of hunting conditions...and with experienced, and knowledgeable riflemen. The typical match will see approximately 100 rounds of fast 10+ round/1-2 minute strings from a myriad of positions and a variety of conditions. As importantly, last shot of the match(a long day) must retain the same demanding level of accuracy/precision as the first cold bore shot. I certainly don’t consider my experiences or opinions to be the last word on the subject, but I am always intrigued that even in my twight years and decades of shooting, some of my well established ideas and practices are still subject to change or improvement.
