[QUOTE="WiscGunner, post: 2977302, member: 97288"] I totally agree confidence in one's gear is key. Competition and hunting both have major mental factors. However, I don't agree with your opinion that PRS is hard on gear. Guys at matches I have been too do not knock their scopes into barricades. Maybe a gentle touch when fishing through a hole a cattle gate, ladder, etc. but never anything like a hunting trip. My rifle gets more abuse carefully taking my hunting pack on and off than it ever sees at a match. Although I have seen guys kick rifles over on bipods but I don't consider that a PRS related issue as anyone can do it. Most guys baby their PRS gear, especially scopes for fear of losing zero. Plus most modern PRS rifles are build to avoid scope abuse. Stocks are wider and more square so the stock/chassis butts up against the barricade instead of scope. Add in the ever popular bags and now plates attached to the rifles, almost no one is shooting with a rifle actually up against a barricade. Always soft on hard contact. NO ONE just throws their rifle into a barricade. Everyone seats their rifle into a bag. Add in the utter lack of recoil and you see why it is called "barricade benchrest". PRS is more of a “test”of scope tracking and scope reticle preference [/QUOTE]
