Straight Shooters
The Forster Products Straight Shooters podcast is an open ended discussion between, reloaders, gunsmiths, precision shooters, and manufactures. We welcome you to come listen to, learn from and provide feedback to the Pros as we discuss challenges, innovations, and history of all things that add to the sport we love of precision shooting. Maybe you shoot PRS, F-Class, or coyotes, our goal is to not only provide some insight through testing we have done but to grow and learn as an industry/community.

PRS Rifle Setup Breakdown (Impact, 6GT, Optics & More)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, a full precision rifle setup is broken down—from the action to the bipod—explaining exactly what’s being used and why.
This is not a step-by-step reloading guide. This is a real-world look at a competition rifle that’s been refined over years of shooting, testing, and adjustments.
Topics covered include:
- Why the Impact action continues to be a consistent choice
- 75° vs 90° bolt throw—and what actually matters in performance
- Optics selection and diminishing returns at higher price points
- Chassis vs stock—and how adjustability affects results
- Rifle balance and weight distribution (often overlooked, but critical)
- Bipod selection and how surface changes impact group size
- Trigger options: tunability vs simplicity
- 6GT vs other calibers in real match conditions
- Barrel length myths—and what actually drives performance
This is not presented as the only way to build a rifle—but as a proven setup, explained piece by piece so better decisions can be made when building or upgrading. If a different setup has worked well, drop it in the comments and explain why.
