But in 2015, you can see Manners took a pretty commanding lead. In 2014, Manners edged them out, but it was pretty even. Up until last year, McMillan’s fiberglass stocks were the most popular. Manners Stocks were the most popular for the 2 nd year in a row … and this year by a really wide margin. Essentially the darker the bar, the higher up the shooters finished that are included in that bar. If they finished between 11 and 20, that is represented by a dark blue bar, etc. For example, if they finished in the top 10 then you’ll see a black bar. These are grouped by where each shooter finished overall. Here are the chassis and stocks the top 100 competitors were running this year.

This is one of several posts based on that gear survey of the top PRS shooters. For more info on the Precision Rifle Series and who these guys are, or to view what other gear they’re running scroll to the bottom of this article. These world-class shooters represent the best of the best in terms of long-range shooting in field conditions. These are the major leagues of sniper-style competitions, with targets typically from 300 to 1200 yards. The PRS tracks how top competitors place in major rifle matches across the country. I recently surveyed the top 100 shooters in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), and this post reviews the rifle chassis and stocks those elite shooters were using in 2015. It’s an exciting time to be shooting precision rifles! It seems like cool new chassis come out every year, and 2015 was no exception. There has been more innovation surrounding rifle chassis and stocks in the past 5 years than any other component of precision shooting! A large part of that was driven by competition and R&D for military contracts, like the Precision Sniper Rifle contract, but now the precision rifle community is benefiting from the hard work companies continue to put in that direction.
