Very similar to my rig. For all those saying it’s way too expensive and keeping those interested away from the sport there are some nice factory options in the $2 -$2.5k range, there is even a different division for those with factory vs full custom setups. If you’re really interested in the sport shoot what you’ve got and enjoy it!!
I started with a Savage Axis II in 270. Dropped it in an MDT chassis and Bushnell Forge 2.5-15x50 and ringing steel at 1220 yards with my hand loads! I've got several top 3 finishes at my local PRS matches
its really about doing the math and learning the hold and of course good hardware doesn't have to be super expensive but its pretty expensive to get it right
@@reefread1234 there are lots of free and low cost apps that will really help you out. The most important thing I’ve found is having an accurate idea of the velocity and bc.
I had issues with my PRS rifle the night before a match. shot with a Ruger American had the ammo ready. it’s got a timney trigger and kydex cheek riser, Caldwell bipod. Tossed a spare brake on it and went for it. Mid pack finish.
Derek is great. Met him a few times. Had the privilege of being squadded up with him once before. Offered nothing but great advice and even offered to help with some cracks in my shooting game. Awesome dude by all accounts.
I don't shoot long-range anymore d/t life choices. However, the Ruger American + Sightron combo is supposed to be pretty good. That can be done for around $1000.
I started this journey about two years ago. I'm currently running a RPR in 6.5 creed with a vortex 5x25Viper PST. I'm consistently ringing 12" targets at 1000 yds. What I have discovered is that the ammo plays a huge part in my accuracy.
You’ll talked about all the good stuff. But you failed to mention a price. Even if it is slightly adjusted would have been nice to know an approximate of some of the items
The action is about $1000, the chassis is about $1500, barrel blank is about $400, scope $2200, bipod $450. gold knob/mount $85, tuner brake $250. Over $6000 and that's not including any tax, or the custom anodizing or custom gunsmithing that was done.
😮 Finally a long rifle that will make you the most accurate man that you can be . Competition will make you feel incompetent. When you see what others can do that have been doing it much longer. So many things to learn. Enjoy your new journey ❤
Nice plug for your buddy Derke at D1. Enjoyed all of the monolog, but really would have been nice to see some groups. It's like looking at a nicely tricked out street car but never seeing what she can do. Sure she looks pretty, but let's see it run the 1/4 mile, melt some rubber, and burn through some premium petro. So, the challenge for you is get back with Derke and burn through some 556's and show us the groupings at say 150 - 200 yards. 😀
i went with a remington 700 308 5r... and trigger tech special... super satisfied with groups... the hornady app is great for dope... works real good... buy lots of different brands of ammo and group all of them to find the most accurate one... good luck!!!
Just starting to get into long range shooting. Awesome video. I learned so much. Never said, but i have enjoyed your videos for some years. Thanks, Colion.
I have shot in a few competition shooting a Remington 700 Police in 300 Win Mag. All sub MOA at 600 meters. I reloaded all rounds I shot, 225 grain BTHP loaded with 71 gn H1000.
Glad to see you getting into this, Colion. Every new "gun owner" friend or fam of mine that asks me (ex-MIL/LEO) about a defensive setup, I tell them everything I learned and my philosophy. Your gun is a tool for a job. I always try to steer them toward the 3-gun community. "You only need 3 guns, get em, and get good with them. Then practice with them."
What is 3 gun? For me that would be revolver, shotgun and higher power bolt action rifle for longer distances. If it's more than a 100 yards away I'm not going to know it's there anyway at my age. 😢🤓🍻
@@travisstorbakken1737 Ahh, thank you, makes sense now. I don't know how well I would do with the Fudd type weapons that I prefer but I would probably have fun trying. 🤔🤓🍻
One growing shooting sport is bench rest air rifles. Some of those rifles can easily get upwards towards $4000. That's not counting the scope. Some guys like using scopes like March optics which will blow that Leupold out of the water when it comes to glass.
MPA makes a great scope mount, along with Spuhr, MDT, Tier One, Aduere but I think the ARC M-Brace is the best because it is BY FAR the easiest to mount with one screw at the top. Right now it lacks the added features of other scope mounts but if you add the LRF Bridge you have every thing you need.
Right on bro, welcome to the Impact / 6.5CM family. Running the same combo on my long range setup, but with a Proof barrel on an MDT JAE chassis, Vortex 6-36x56 Razor Gen 3
My PRS rifle is set up pretty close to that I like the ckyepod better and I am running a vortex razor Gen2 with the ebr-7c reticle which is close to the pr 2 except for the marks are 2/10 instead of .25 mills I do have the Leopold pr2 I am planning on putting on a 25 Creed build
Love you Colion! I always learn so much. Please provide the details of the shorty rifle you're holding at the end of the vid! You're important, please stay you/true!
I built a 6.5 PRC 24" Howa 8.5 lb barrel in an skeletonized SCSA folding chassis. 2 stage trigger adjustable. Vortex 5×25×56 strike eagle on 20 moa rail. Overall length with compensator 49". Total weight 15.2 lbs. Shoots out to 2000 yards. Recoil is less than my Diamonback ar15! I have about $2000 in it. It has a long list of goodies not mentioned!😊
I'm building a mid range Howa 24" 6.5 CM + Burris 4x16x50 Eliminator III + Accu-Tac SR-5 G2 bipod + KRG X-Ray chassis hybrid precision/hunting rifle. The Burris has a built-in laser range finder with automatic BDC hold over calculation displayed right on the reticle. Haven't decided on a muzzle brake yet. Total cost is around $3000. 😁
@NEC Avenue why do so many folks build their rifles on the 6.5 Creedmoor that utilizes the .30 Thompson Centerfire verses the 6.5 PRC which uses the 300 win. Mag case? The PRC has a better bullet coefficient! Shoots flatter! Shoots further! And is considered a magnum. Just asking.
@NEC Avenue factory ammo over the years has greatly improved and the cost has gone up. I've watched my Hornady 147 grain match double in price just in the past 2 years. As in other rifles and hand guns I got into reloading to cut costs. What I noticed was when checking my hunting rifles for accuracy before hunting season I found I would get an occasional flier. So I started measuring total cartridge length. Out of 20 rounds I found a few were different. By reloading I could eliminate that factor. So I started randomly measuring powder weights and sure enough it to was different. Plus by reloading I could experiment with different loads to get better performance and ballistics. Now I reload my long distance loads for accuracy and actually can assemble a round that's better and less expensive than factory ammo. The problem though lately has been getting the cases. You normally can't get more than 3 reloads out of factory cases. Factory ammo is at about $3.95 a round verses $2.00 for reloads. My reloads are more accurate!
@ColionNoir, been enjoying your content for a long time! Glad to see you’re getting into the precision rifle game-I hope you keep coming out with more precision rifle content!
So many people talk about the expense. I shoot an FN Herstal Mauser 98 30-06 in an Archangel stock with a Sig Sauer BDX 2.0 scope system and a bipod. The BDX system only takes you so far, but it teaches me where to hold for longer shots. As sniper in the military years ago, I have good fundamentals. I also have an intractable migraine, which screws with my vision among other issues, but I shoot as often as I can. The point is, you don't need to spend a fortune to shoot accurately at long distance. You need good fundamentals, a good rifle, and patience. Then practice. As Jeff Cooper said, "Perfect practice makes perfect." With those things in place you too can be an outstanding long distance rifle shooter. Would a veteran lie to you? What do I have to gain?
Beautiful rifle! As for cost...with a case (got to have one) my guess is between $8000.00 to $9000.00. (start saving!) I would also love top see those competitions your gonna compete in.
Have you gotten to take it out? I was considering one but they had a bad rep for rounds walking once you got past 3 and the barrel warmed up. Great cold-bore rep though.
@@enmiredbythelazy4401I have an MPR. I haven’t heard about the waking after 3 rounds, and I honestly don’t see it too much. Cold bore shot is always on, though.

@@Thisisausername556 Thanks, I ran across the issue, there were quite a few people unhappy but it got me to wondering if it might be the carbon fiber heat dissipation and maybe they just needed a mirage strap :) Hard to separate issues from shooters when researching some things. I really liked the weight difference, the MPR is sooo much lighter than the Ruger equivalent.
If you hold a 6.5 Creedmore casing and 300 WSM cartridge side by side, move the 6.5 closer to your eye and both those casings are virtually identical - one is just bigger.
Bro is that a locking wind turret on the Mark 5 ? @3:00. if so can you share where you got that my Mark 5's all have capped Turrets and are a little annoying with the hashmark being so high id love to know when im back to exact zero on wind.
Nice to see Derek build it but its priced us regulator people out of it. I'm just getting good practicing long range shooting now. I inherited a Winchester model 70 300 magnum pre 64, & using that to learn now. Just a farmer making due with whats available.
No lie, the star of this video isn't the rifle, but it's homies overalls. I could tell from the start he was serious when he showed up rocking overalls.
Nice rifle. 6.5 factory ammo availability is key as I dont think Colion is a reloader. About the only thing I would have done different is went with the 35 power Mark 5 as having the ability to really zoom in at times helps, but helps even more when you can pull that magnification back to say 28 to reduce mirage a significant amount.
30+ power is really overkill for everything but f class long range and ELR and 6.5 creedmoor is a very poor choice of cartridge for either of those competitions. A good 5-25 power is pretty standard for most competitors in prs and nrl competitions.

The Tuner brake changed my life as a distance shooter. Once you have the tuning process down groups shrink significantly
Love my EC Tuner
What a build. I'd like something similar in 300Win.
300 win is an obsolete round anymore, would recommend something like a 300 norma or a 338 lapua
