I ran Diamondbacks for a few years and have noticed that the glass quality has degraded since I purchased them about five or six years ago. You are right to look at the Viper and above as far as Vortex goes. The glass is good and I was considering purchasing the Vipers before this past season...

Supplements are OK, but the best thing you can do for your body is to eat clean. Eat it only if you can #1. Kill it, #2. Fish it, or #3. Dig it out of the ground - if the Good Lord didn't make it, don't eat it. As far as putting on mass it is going to be tough, but not impossible. Free...

I am working up a load for my Savage 300wm using 210gr VLD's and IMR 4350. Haven't checked velocities yet, but so far 63 grains is getting me MOA or better if I do my part. I have also used 4831sc, RL-22, and IMR 4350 when I was running 180gr SST's, slight favor to 4831, but all three are good.

I have the same problem with my LA111 300wm with the round receiver. With my scope totally bottomed out (about 90moa adjustment) I have a 100 yard zero using 210 VLD's. This is running a one piece weaver o moa base that is rear bedded. With the 20 moa base that I had originally purchased I...

Good deal on the PST. I'm leaning that way when it comes time to upgrade glass. I have always been impressed with Vortex products.

Yeah thats the one. Mostly I just lurk here to pick up nuggets of information, like that video. I don't have the wealth of experience that many on here do, but dollar for dollar I think that base is a good item. Good luck with the rest of the build. On a side note, how do you like the PST?

The one that I have is not the $20 version. It is actually the Weaver (model 99493) Midway product number #863438. They make one for the flat rear and round rear Savage receiver. Screw holes did align perfectly, but there was a slight gap between the base and the rear portion of the receiver...

Weaver makes one for both the SA10 & LA110. Got mine from Midway. Solid, works great.

Yeah I know the feeling Target stores in my area have Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas displays. Once you start hand loading you will notice a drastic difference in groups vs. factory stuff, my groups shrunk down quite a bit. And its a good feeling when you pull the trigger on loads that...

Thanks for the detailed pics. I have been seriously eyeballing this bad boy to replace the factory stock on my savage. This beauty looks like a much better option for me than a $550+ McMillan. Any range report findings??? Thanks!
