Not to discount Doug’s effort, but I wonder if his RPR barrel was short-throated like mine…a “precision” rifle that could only chamber factory ammo by jamming it .060 into the lands/case.

I’m getting so tired of all these haters, everywhere, negative about this or that, all the time. I avoid people like that in real life, wish I could avoid it in comment sections.

Congrats to Doug, a pistol guy coming in and doing well in PRS. I think it’s badass.

If he won in open, haters would probably
complain he had access to too nice a rifle and support, or something else nobody cares about.

Going back to positive me now.

Production division is $4000 combined limit, $2k rifle, $2k optic. It hasn’t been $3k combined since 2017.

Also goes by MSRP, not street price.

Also, modifications that do not improve accuracy/accuracy potential are permitted- such as grips, brakes, and finishes.

A 12th place over-all finish is noteworthy for sure… Winning production class however, is usually not at all note worthy. The class is perhaps the least popular. Some matches have no one sign up; friend of mine actually won production, just by the fact that he was the only one to shoot the match in production.

You nay sayers that don’t even shoot PRS whatever. I do shoot PRS and I don’t have a problem with it. I’ve to talked to pro shooters that shoot RPR their that good. PRS is a whole different game come and see. It’s more about positional shooting no matter the rifle.

Not sure how I feel about Koenig shooting these matches. Certainly feels like he and Ruger are violating the spirit of the production class. It’s to intro shooters into PRS but here’s a sponsored guy shooting what I’d have to believe is a hand built, cherry picked RPR and not just something bought off the shelve like the other production class guys.

WOW great job Doug. 18 time Bianchi cup winner and all the other titles he has, what a way to boost your ego. I think anyone with “World Champ” titles to their name shouldn’t be in a production class match of any type that is promoted to get new, or novice shooters into the game. That is why there is a one season limit on production class PRS. I get he is new to the PRS game but he is heavily sponsored, and ABSOLUTELY NOT new to competitive shooting. I don’t shoot PRS so I have “no skin in the game”, I think shooters like him should leave the entry level type matches to entry level shooters.
