An In-Depth Analysis of the Custom PRS Rifle Setup
Precision Rifle Series (PRS) competitions demand exceptional accuracy, reliability, and customizability in rifle setups. In this article, we delve into the details of a custom PRS rifle setup that incorporates high-quality components for optimal performance. The rifle consists of a Defiance Ruckus action, WOOX Furiosa chassis, Proof Research prefit chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, an Area 419 Hellfire brake, a Vortex Viper PST 5-25x50 scope, and a Triggertech Diamond trigger. Let's analyze each component and understand how they contribute to an excellent PRS setup.
Defiance Ruckus Action
The heart of any precision rifle is the action, and the Defiance Ruckus excels in this regard. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, this action offers exceptional strength, rigidity, and reliability. The Ruckus action features a robust bolt design, smooth operation, and precise tolerances, ensuring consistent lockup and enhanced accuracy.
The Defiance Ruckus action is a precision-machined, Remington 700 footprint action, renowned for its exceptional quality and performance.
It features a controlled-round feed and mechanical ejection, ensuring reliable feeding and ejection of cartridges.
The Ruckus action has a three-lug bolt design, offering a short 60-degree bolt lift and smooth operation, which aids in quick follow-up shots.
It is available in various finishes, including stainless steel, DLC-coated, or nitride finish, providing corrosion resistance and durability.
WOOX Furiosa ultra Chassis
Used in this project
The WOOX Furiosa chassis is designed for precision shooting and provides a stable platform for the action. Crafted from lightweight aluminum alloy, the Furiosa chassis offers excellent durability without sacrificing portability. It incorporates an adjustable cheek riser, length-of-pull adjustments, and M-Lok compatible accessory attachment points, allowing shooters to achieve a comfortable and customizable shooting position.
The WOOX Furiosa chassis is designed to be modular, lightweight, and ergonomically adjustable.
It is constructed from high-grade 7075 aluminum alloy, which strikes a balance between strength and weight.
The Furiosa chassis features a full-length ARCA rail on the bottom of the forend, allowing for easy attachment of accessories.
It offers adjustable length-of-pull and cheek riser height, ensuring a comfortable and customizable fit for shooters of different sizes and shooting positions.
The chassis incorporates M-Lok attachment points on the sides and bottom, enabling the attachment of additional accessories and rails.
Proof Research Prefit Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor
The barrel plays a crucial role in accuracy, and Proof Research is renowned for their carbon fiber-wrapped barrels. The prefit chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor offers superior stiffness, heat dissipation, and reduced weight compared to traditional steel barrels. The carbon fiber wrap also enhances the barrel's harmonics, resulting in increased accuracy and reduced point-of-impact shift during prolonged shooting sessions.
Proof Research barrels are renowned for their exceptional accuracy, light weight, and heat dissipation properties.
The prefit barrel comes chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, a popular choice for PRS competitions due to its flat trajectory and excellent ballistic performance.
The carbon fiber wrap surrounding the barrel provides stiffness and strength while reducing weight compared to traditional steel barrels.
The carbon fiber also acts as an insulator, allowing for faster cooling and reducing heat-induced point-of-impact shifts during prolonged shooting sessions.
Area 419 Hellfire Brake
The Area 419 Hellfire Brake is a self-timing muzzle brake designed to reduce recoil and muzzle rise, enabling faster follow-up shots and faster target reacquisition. It features a modular design with removable and interchangeable ports, allowing shooters to tune the brake's performance to their specific needs. The Hellfire Brake utilizes a unique vent geometry that efficiently directs gases to the sides, mitigating recoil and muzzle movement while minimizing dust signature for the shooter and nearby competitors. The self-timing feature simplifies installation and ensures a secure fit without the need for crush washers or gunsmithing.
Vortex Viper PST 5-25x50 Scope
The Vortex Viper PST (Precision Shooting Tactical) is a feature-packed scope designed for long-range precision shooting. It offers a variable magnification range of 5-25x, providing excellent versatility for engaging targets at various distances. The 50mm objective lens allows for ample light transmission, resulting in a bright and clear sight picture even in low-light conditions. The Viper PST features a glass-etched reticle, ensuring durability and precise aiming points. It incorporates Vortex's XR fully multi-coated optics, which enhances light transmission, color fidelity, and image clarity. The scope is built with a rugged, shockproof construction, nitrogen purged for fogproof performance, and O-ring sealed for waterproof capabilities.
Triggertech Diamond Trigger
The Triggertech Diamond trigger is a precision-engineered trigger renowned for its exceptional performance and crisp break. It features a user-adjustable pull weight, allowing shooters to set it according to their preferences, with pull weight options ranging from 4 to 32 ounces. The trigger utilizes advanced Frictionless Release Technology (FRT), which eliminates the friction that typically occurs during the trigger pull. This technology ensures a smooth and consistent break, minimizing any disruption to the sight picture. The Triggertech Diamond trigger also incorporates a Pro Curved trigger shoe, providing a comfortable and ergonomic interface for the shooter's finger. It is constructed with high-quality materials and precision machining, resulting in a durable and reliable trigger that can withstand the demands of PRS competitions.
The custom PRS rifle setup featuring the Defiance Ruckus action, WOOX Furiosa chassis, Proof Research prefit barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, Area 419 Hellfire brake, Vortex Viper PST 5-25x50 scope, and Triggertech Diamond trigger offers a comprehensive package for competitive precision shooting. Each component is carefully chosen to enhance accuracy, reliability, and shooter comfort. The combination of a robust action, adjustable chassis, high-performance barrel, recoil-reducing brake, versatile scope, and precise trigger contributes to a rifle setup that excels in PRS competitions, providing shooters with the necessary tools for consistent and accurate long-range shooting.
