The green colors represents the top shooters in the NRL, where the darkest green is the top 10, medium green is 11-25, and light green are the shooters who’s season rank landed from 26th to 50th. For example, the black color indicates shooters who finished in the top 10 in the PRS, the darkest blue is people who finished 11-25 in the PRS, and the lighter the blue, the lower they finished in overall standings. On the chart above, the various colors represent where a shooter landed in terms of rank. This year Vortex dropped to #3, with Nightforce taking the lead at #1, and Kahles not far behind in the #2 spot. The field is much more evenly split, with 4 brands used by at least 20 shooters of the 173 shooters surveyed. In 2017 the PRS tried to collect the data in-house and according to what they published on Facebook, Vortex maintained their lead in 2017, but Kahles, Nightforce, and Schmidt & Bender weren’t as far behind as prior years.Ī few new scopes have been released recently, and they seem to have shaken this up. Then Vortex took a commanding lead in 20 ( see the data).

In 2012, 2013, and 2014 Schmidt and Bender was the most popular scope used among the top shooters in the PRS ( see the data).

Lots has changed since the last time I published info on what scopes these guys run. This post focuses on the optics these guys ran, along with some advice they gave related to long range scopes. ( Learn about the PRS & NRL.) This group of over 150 competitors represent the best precision rifle shooters in the country.

I recently surveyed the top ranked shooters in both the Precision Rifle Series (PRS) and the National Rifle League (NRL) to learn what gear they’re running in long range rifle matches.
