I haven't weighed it after I finished spraying the clear on it. I will have to break it apart and weigh it one day, I had a Vee Block put in by ray so I am sure you could save a few ounces without that. I know the whole rig weighs 17lb's 13oz's or so.

I only have a few ounces to play with so I wasn't looking to add more weight. I like it the way it is without hardware.

Well it has been really cold and windy here since I finished so I haven't gotten to really test it out yet. Its been killing me b/c I need to do some load development but it was a heck of a shooter before the new stock so I can only expect it to shoot as good or better. I do think the new stock...

I would say find a used sightron Siii 8-32 with fine crosshairs or target dot. I have an one and really like it. Best glass(for the money) IMHO.

I used to get a bunch of free LC LR brass through a job and used it to shoot matches the first year I started shooting F/TR. It took some work to get ready and you do lose some capacity. I shoot blue box now but nothing wrong with the LC brass if you dont mind putting in the work.

I had the same problem with my savage F/TR and sinclair Gen 3. I solved it with removing the felt and using the sinclair delux bipod adapter. I also added some washers under the wing nuts since you are removing material from removing the felt. It is very solid now. Aaron

I figured I would let you guys know that I did end up going with one of Ray's F/TR Lowboy stocks. I had him bed it with a vee block and but I did all the finishing on it. First time spraying a stock but it turned out really well and I am very pleased. The quality and precision of his stock was...

I have a stock savage F/TR and after shooting all year with the factory setup I am in the market for some upgrades over the winter. I am planning on upgrading the stock first and am curious about what you guys think are some good options. I have been talking with Ray Bowman about one of his...

Keep the rifle and shoot f/tr, buy a 6.5 barrel to switch to if that floats your boat.

What distance are you trying to shoot? barrel length?

The highest safe velocity you can obtain with your barrel length and shoot accurately. Velocity is your friend, but a higher bc bullet would help you more.

Thanks for the advice, I'll check that out.

I am having a little trouble attaching the Sinclair 3rd generation f-class bipod to my savage f/tr rifle. I think the major problem might be the stock adapter that it came with and I will probably replace it, but it has more wiggle in it than I was hoping for. Has anyone had this same problem...
