Howa or Savage

Looking to put together a range toy bolt gun in .223. Primary use of the rifle will be to just have some fun at the range and in the reloading room. Will also be used to introduce new shooters to precision style rifle shooting. Admittedly, I’m a Tikka fan but finding anything in .223 with more than a 3-4 round magazine is virtually nonexistent. With that, I’m looking at picking up a Howa Mini Action from Brownells and dropping it in a chassis (Oryx or XRS). I recently came across the Savage Axis II Precision which essentially comes in an Oryx chassis from Savage. Price is close enough to not matter.

Which would you choose and why? Looking to stay at or under $1000 for the rifle/chassis so if you have other ideas that fit that criteria, please feel free to share those.

Thanks in advance!

And when “backup” arrived they just went along with his phycological delusional violent rampage - cause gang affiliation and all .

Which Ckye-Pod???

Currently running an Atlas Super Cal with RRS SOAR lever and it's a great piece of kit but I've ran into a couple stages where guys with CYKE-Pods could adjust the legs narrower and get into a solid position the Atlas wouldn't fit and I'd have to use a positional bag.

Question is for strictly PRS what version do you guys think is best?? I'm strongly leaning towards the Gen 2 double pull with the RRS SOAR lever.

Lone Peak Arms Bolt wear

Hi guys,



I got a question for the hide - I got a new Lone Peak Arms Fuzion action with a Bartlein barrel. Yesterday I installed the action in an also new McMillan A3-5 stock with a new Hawkins Precision M5 DBM.

The rifle is chambered in 6mm BR Norma.

After everything has been assembled I wanted to test the correct feeding out of a new MDT 6BR 10 round magazine. Therefore I used two dummy rounds and cycled the bolt multiple times with those rounds. Feeding was without any issues - so far so good…

Afterwards I took out the bolt to do a final clean and recognised that the bolt has now some wear on it (see pictures). It seems that the after pushing the first round into the chamber the second one in the magazine is pushed onto the bolt body which causes one long scratch on the bolt. For your info: I’m running the bolt dry.

Does anyone of you have know this is issue? Is this normal or what is the cause? Spring pressure of the magazine? Length of the action screws? Length of the DBM latch?

How do I prevent this?

Thank you very much for your help!

Kind regards

Fabian

A word of caution to all new who venture here….

A word of caution. Beware of the .22lr. We call it a “trainer rifle” Its an insidious plot to take over Precision Shooting. You will think you are happy with that sweet shooting centerfire. But, that cute little .22 that keeps calling to you with the siren song that it can be a nice quiet little practice rifle. A rifle to shoot when you just don’t want to shoot the big bores.

Beware, it will take over. You’ll have so much fun with the .22 that your centerfire PRS rifle will get lost in the back of the gun safe. You’ll never ever go back. Your life will be lost in the world of rimfire. It swallows you, destroys your relationships, its its, oh the horrors, I can’t describe it. Don’t let it happen, be careful, the addiction will catch you too.

Beware the 22’s are taking over

Multiple shooters at San Antonio base today?

JUST IN: Security Officers Exchange Gunfire with Multiple Active Shooters at Air Force Base in San Antonio​

Security officers exchanged gunfire with multiple active shooters at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.
Multiple active shooters tried to breach the main gate at the Chapman Training Annex around 4:30 am on Saturday, according to KSAT.
No injuries were reported. It is unclear how many shooters were at the main gate.

The shooters had no affiliation with the military, KSAT reported.
According to Fox News, the security officers were fired upon by suspects in a sedan.
Fox News reported:
Security forces at the Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland (JBSA) returned fire early Saturday on at least one drive-by suspect who is accused of firing upon the main gate at the JBSA-Chapman Training Annex, a JBSA spokesperson tells Fox News Digital.
The officers were fired upon at around 4:30 a.m. by at least one suspect in a sedan and immediately returned fire. There were no injuries reported, and the gate was shut for a number of hours.

It is unclear how many shooters were involved and how many times they fired upon the base.
“There was no active threat to the installation … and our security forces responded to mitigate the threat,” spokesperson Stefanie Antosh said, noting that the suspect or suspects did not try to breach the gates.
The motive for the shooting is not known. No details about the suspects were released.

Would like some feedback from those who've owned and used more than one of these scopes.

Intended Use: Long Range Varmint Hunting, Very few PRS style competitions

I can get very similar pricing on all 3 options; its close enough to make no difference for me. To me the important performance metrics are: 1) Tracking Accuracy and 2) Optical Performance. Small critters at long distance can be difficult to see.

Let me know which option you would choose and why!

Weird first shot inconsistency with can

Im posting here as a last resort to see if anyone has an explanation for this odd behavior. I have a 308 scar 17 that has been a good reliable 1" gun for a long time. I recently added a sandman S, and my groups actually improved to a consistent .8-.9 which is great for a scar, but the first round cold shot is now exactly 5" to the left consistently. The second shot and all subsequent shots will be exactly on my zero until i pause long enough for everything to cool down. I suspect its something to do with the atmospheric change inside the can after the first shot, since it only ever takes 1 round to fix, and doesnt "walk in" to my zero over a series of shots.

I checked concentricity with a rod and bore scoped the can. I've rechecked torque on everything. I rarely ever clean, but i went ahead and did that just to see if it would change anything. The scope is a nightforce and i moved it to another rifle to make sure its not broken somehow. I also repeated this 5 times over the course of the day yesterday by just letting the gun sit a while, so its not a jumpy shooter problem.

At this point all i can do is ditch the can, but that's a bit of a bummer so hopefully there's something I'm not thinking of that's correctable. Thanks for any suggestions.
