I’m going to use it only on my two Sakos TRG for range shooting. I don’t hunt anymore. So yes target fun only.

Then get one of the Dead Air 33 and run with it. Can use it on both and if you wanted to get a shorter cab down the road for the 6.5 you can. Lots for good deals out there now. Silencer Shop has some free stamp deals now too.

I laughed and laughed. There were others.

Thank you,

The "Savage" one is a 2 piece made by accurate mag. I'd much prefer a single piece. I think the Atlasworx would be my first choice. The ptg can be had from places like midwayusa and others that have them in stock so you wouldn't have to deal with them directly.

I want to get the barrel threaded, and thought maybe get the inlet ting and barrel threaded at the same time.

A Savage 10FP is what I got to get me started in "precision rifle" shooting a couple of decades ago. They've been around a while.

I bought a 110 Timberland in 6.5 CM a few years ago for my F-I-L. That stupid rifle shoots as well as anything 3x the price, but does have a .2 mil cold bore shift.

They usually shoot decently, and OP has an itch for one. So why not? It is not exactly like you are out a lot when you come to remember how amazingly un-smooth the action is (along with either feeding or extraction woes). But if you get one that runs and shoots, then it is a lot of fun for an extremely good price.

That's why it is going to primarily be my daughters rifle so she can learn long range.. She says she really wants to learn and shoot it with me, but she looses interest in things pretty quickly, so most likely it will wind up being my rifle after she doesn't use it much.

The store wants 950 for it. Then I need to figure out a fairly inexpensive optic for right now. Eventually I would want to put an aics bottom metal and thread the barrel

Take airguns for example, you'll get the best of the shot if you use good form and follow through on the shot. Don't change your hold or anything else if possible and you'll be rewarded.

Semi's if shot the same way can shoot great. The fact is you need to finesse the shot because you can't get away with some things like you could with a heavy centerfire bolt gun.

A few select M24 systems to be auctioned off tomorrow 8/17/2025 by Rock Island Auctioneers at their Bedford, TX location. One is the incredible M24 Lease Contract rifle (1-of-16) with Remington archive documentation, originally purchased by an Illion, NY employee after being returned from the U.S. Army Fort Riley, Kansas. The other one is an early Remington Collectors Edition 25th Anniversary (1987-2012) version (1-of-less than 2000), with the scarce "G" prefix ser.# that pre-dates the later "RR" prefix recievers. Cant wait to see where the hammer drops

I could see it on the hip of some bloke in Africa with a fancy double rifle a hundred years ago.
Edited to add those pukka old poms didn’t carry their own guns, that was the job of a blackboy, and the blackboys weren’t trusted with ammo.

Photo taken on a SWAT deployment a couple of days ago. LE Marksman/Observer deployed on the callout. Neighborhood cat decides it's a good place to catch some sun.

Totally epic photo! Because Cats know who they are safe with. And who is a warm body as well.

And you just know that she will go after the department for wrongful termination. She had already started building her case at the end of that recording.

No it's not worth the hassle and I know this because;
I could roll WSSM brass on a flat surface and see the run out of the neck.
The primer pockets were all over the place in depth and in other aspects.
Flash holes were horrible as in not centered and there was a lot of brass burs punched into the inside of the case which I reamed off.
I benchrest prepped all of my 243WSSM brass including neck turning and after doing all that my groups shrunk by half.
That batch of WSSM brass was very inconsistent, so much so I threw 25% away, some before I did anything and some after I did everything to it.

Yeah it was a screamer but that's about it. Really only 1 moa if that but this was in a AR. I sold it shortly afterwards then got a 6mmART40 from whitely which was such a great cartridge using Lapua brass. This brass was the opposite in quality compared to WSSM and only down 200 fps or so. Plus it shot tight for an AR, even won a night match with it.

I'm kinda sticking with normal cartridges nowadays because of the pitfalls I ran into when going for extremes. Give me a 6mmBR for normal distances and a 6.5 Saum for longer and I'm good, those are my go-to's now.

Spoken like a gutless armchair commando from the internet. Proves my point perfectly.

Please take a moment to remember John Cruickshank the last remaining Victoria Cross recipient from WW2. He led a daring raid against a U-Boat and saved his crew in an incredible feat of bravery.


It is not fair to say that 'they don't make them like this any more." Because there are his equals and betters who served in Korea, Vietnam, Somalia and both Iraq and Afghanistan.

But he is the last of a generation of warriors who saved the free world long before most of us were born. And deserves to be remembered by his fellow-warriors and their adjuncts.

RIP, sir. You saw and did things most of us can never imagine. And then went on to live a famiily life as a mild-mannered banker. Nothing could be a greater requiem for a real warrior.
