PRS Style competition rifle setup
I'd reach out to the match director and see if there's any chance they have a loaner rifle you could use if you covered ammo costs. Many do, and it'll probably be a little bit more appropriate setup. A fast twist 223 with a GOOD bullet (75, 80, or 88 ELD, 85.5 Bergers, the heavier Sierra's... -

PRS Style competition rifle setup
Enjoy the productivity bump of the progressive! With the sensitivity of the FX120i, having it isolated from the press is pretty key. I've played around with everything, and really like the ergonomics of how I have mine setup now. On the measures it depends on the powder, with ball powder... -

Action Leveling
Eyeballing the scope reticle to the action is plenty good enough. The thing I'll use a tool for is to make sure the scope is level per the reticle when I'm attaching the level to the scope. (Bubble or laser level) If I'm getting picky, I'll double check actual corrections on paper at 100 yds... -

Maven, Leupold, Trijicon, NF
I have both the RS1.2 and the NX8 4-32 on rifles. Both good, I prefer the Mil-C on the NX8 for NRL Hunter, and the Maven reticle for actual hunting, and the scopes are distributed accordingly. I’ve used most Leupolds and the Tenmile, and personally prefer what I’ve got. -

6.5 CM as a hunting cartridge... why?
No doubt. You have more with your 22 Creedmoor/Atip combination? -

6.5 CM as a hunting cartridge... why?
Why would you take such offense at minor incremental improvements in case design from almost two decades ago? -

Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?
Is it downtown or something? Bozeman rents aren’t low, but that seems like quite the outlier to me. -

6.5 CM as a hunting cartridge... why?
I’ve gone back and forth between that route, and selling the barrel and replacing with a custom. The cost difference isn’t much. -

6.5 CM as a hunting cartridge... why?
One is on my short list. Most likely will do it on a Tikka but could rebarrel a Seekins 6 Creedmoor once I’m done with the 6mm barrel.
