    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kimber 1911's

    I own a Series 1 gun (Elite Carry), and it has been flawless. A friend of mine has a newer Custom II that has also been problem free, but its getting refitted with Wilson parts at the moment. I would NOT buy a new Kimber period, too much money to take the chance on getting a lemon, much better...

    Picking up Savage 110 FCP in 338 Lapua

    I have an FCP-HS in .338, I have been nothing but pleased with it. It shoots better than I can most days, and is an absolute ball to shoot. I found that 90gr. of Retumbo under a 250 pill loaded to Mag Length shoots pretty nice, but I haven't really stretched its legs yet. My friend loaded his...

    Savage .338 Lapua Magnum

    I have had my FCP-HS in .338 for about a year now. It is topped with a Vortex PST and it is also my first long range rifle. I have learned a ton in the year I have been shooting it, and it shoots on par with the other guys. I have seen a few .5 groups, mostly in the .6-.7 range I think as I...

    thoughts on a savage .338 lapua

    They do like a long load, but mine shoots sub-MOA with a magsafe load. The research I did when working up loads for mine said to make them as long as will possibly fit in the mag, and shoot it. That theory has worked pretty well for me, I have loaded some with a short jump to the lands, and they...

    thoughts on a savage .338 lapua

    I have a the FCP-HS and love it. It has exceeded my expectations as an out of the box rifle. I don't find it unreasonable to load for, once you get the brass purchased. I just figured a box of Lapua brass into the price of the rifle.

    Pretty cool experience with the 50 this weekend

    I have gotten to the point I refuse to visit our "Public" range on the weekend or evenings. If I can't go during the day, I just won't shoot. I had a buddy drop by last week and we decided to run over and check our deer guns before it gets too much later in the year. We wait for a spot at the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Favorite revolver

    I've never been a big revolver fan, only owned one which was my S&W 1905 duty weapon that resides under the seat of my truck. After my grandfather passed away last year, I inherited his gun collection and with that came is trusty Model 19. I have probably put 500 round through that pistol in 6...

    Reloading 45acp questions

    I'm not going to recommend it, BUT we have shot literally 1000's of .45 ACP with large rifle primers. Our loads our quite low for Wild Bunch SASS shooting, but they work fine.

    Anyone got a Savage 110FCP in 338LM?

    I have one that I picked up as my first rifle to shoot out past 1000. I am just learning to hand load and shoot at any distance beyond 100 yards. I am able to shoot 3/4 MOA with my loads out of a factory rifle with a Vortex PST 4-24x50. I may have got a fluke, but I have no complaints for the...

    Opinions - Armalite AR-30 in 338LM

    Have either of you fellas actually got behind a Savage in this caliber or are we just spewing what we read on the interwebz? I happen to own a FCP-HS in .338LM, and it does not exhibit any of the "problems" that I keep hearing about from non-Savage shooters. I am new to the long range game...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best 9mm sub compact carry pistol

    I have been carrying the little Sig's for 4 years now, and love them. I started with a P238SAS, until my grandmother decided she liked it, and moved to the P938 and haven't looked back. Until I bit the bullet so to speak and bought the SIG, I carried a Kel Tec, a Taurus TCP, and Ruger LCP, they...

    Gunsmithing Twisted rem 700 action

    I'd twist it back and run it but I'm the type of guy that would rather try to do something myself, if I screw it up, Then and only then do I seek qualified assistance. Usually I find what I did wrong and I'm good to go on the next try.

    338 lapua loaded to the lands will not fit in magazine?

    I am loading for my FCP-HS with 92 Grains of Retumbo and short enough to fit in the mag, and it shoots bug holes at 200 if I do my part. Load em up and shoot, I was going to do some testing with longer loads but decided it wasn't worth the time at the moment.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Need a pocket carry gun 400$ or less

    I pocket carry a Sig 938, which is a little out of your budget. If you look hard enough you can find the P238 on sale for $449, which would put you head and shoulders above the LCP, TCP, or KelTec offerings. Out of the polymer pistols on the market, I like the Taurus TCP for the fact the it...
