OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – June 21, 2023 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, along with RCBS®, the leading manufacturer of ammunition reloading equipment for rifles and pistols, congratulates pro shooter Robert Brantley for taking first place in the Tactical Division at 2023 K&M Kahles Precision Rifle Competition. Brantley, who used an Elite Tactical XRS3 riflescope to secure the win, has now won Top Tactical in back-to-back PRS events.
“This year’s match was incredibly difficult, with lots of targets unforgiving of any scope that doesn’t track or hold zero,” said Brantley. “However, with the Elite Tactical XRS3 these things were a non-issue and the G4P reticle allowed me to easily hold on the smallest of targets. The mover holds on the G4P also lined up perfectly, making light work of the three stages with moving targets.”
Brantley, who opted to use a new competition rig chambered in .308, mounted the rifle with a new scope three weeks before the match. Despite not having used either the rifle or scope in competition, his confidence remained high.
“I enjoy shooting the .308 as it doesn’t mask any of your flaws and forces you to stay in it,” said Brantley. “You must nail your wind calls, manage recoil and account for the drop in the heavier load. When shooting Tac, my goal is to always try and finish within the top ten of the Open winner. Having quality gear that you can rely on makes this a possibility.”
Brantley also relied on his RCBS reloading setup to prepare for the match, including his Rock Chucker® Supreme Press, MatchMaster Dies, Bench Primer, Case Prep Center, Chargemaster Supreme powder dispenser, and Ultrasonic Case Cleaner.
“My RCBS reloading setup is great because it helps me tailor my ammunition to my exact needs,” Brantley said. “I have more control over every detail so I can trust my ammunition will be consistent and accurate.”
