Re: 260 Build? Good luck on the weight, my savage 110/krieger .260rem, (24" 1/8) comes in at 11 pounds without a bi-pod. Shoots sweet, just a little heavy after a days hike. blue

Re: Savage Edge 243 100 yard target Yes for $300 it is a good buy, i have found that in my model 11 that 87gr vmax work best for out to 400yds and 100gr past that. You can find some posts on working over the trigger on predatormasters.com. A good scope for that rifle is at midway, it's a...

Since many of us use the .223 as a bolt gun as well as a ar15 i thought i would share this here as well as. It's a good read, be sure to read the posts at the bottom as well. blue http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/tag/ammo/

Re: Some questions for Precision Carbine owners rommel500's load data brings up another good point, to get the tightest groups, you will want step back from the max loads by probably a grain or more. Max loads work well for hunting, less than max works best for paper. Another thought is that...

Re: Some questions for Precision Carbine owners First i would leave the wedge loose or remove it, it will cause flyers. Read the owners manual for the right way to tighten it down, you should be able to slide a dollar between the stock and barrel up to the front piller. Make sure that the...

Re: New guy first long range rifle question The model 10 savages will shoot very well out of the box, i run from 125gr up in mine. My 12fvss 308 with only a b&c stock and 155gr smk's has done a 1.029x.789 six shot group at 200yd from and open rest, so yes they will shoot. As for scopes, i...

Re: Savage Stock Options Being a long time barrel nut fan, i have found over the decades that practice is much more important than a lot of choices in stocks. And yes savage is listening to it's customers. The accu-stock is a good example of that, yes the wedge sucks, leave it loose or take...

Re: New Savage The factory base should get you out to 500yd depending on the glass you use. You can also get a shim kit from brownells that will let you use the factory base and taylor it to your needs. I use a egw 20moa on my 12fvss, (308) and the stock base and shim kit on the 10pc, (308)...

Re: Savage 10 FCP-K vs. Precision Carbine I have a 10pc .308 and have probably 900rds through it now. It's a great rifle and will do very well out 600yd if you do your part. Some people have found that if you lock down the wedge, you will get a flyer once in a while, (myself included) my...

Re: Savage 12 308 I have a 12fvss .308 with a b&c duramax stock and egw 20moa base. I'm just starting to work my zero out to the 600yd line, the best 6 shot group at 200yd so far is 1.029x.789. The load is 46grs of varget, win brass, cci primer, and 155gr smk's. Three sub-moa sets on each...

Re: .308 Win w/ 18" 1-10" twist barrel to 1,000 yards ww, 46.5gr varget (out of my 20") with 155 sierra's works on a calm day, 168's or 175's if needed. You can try 6mmbr.com for more help. You can go to reloadersnest.com for a burn rate chart to help with the best powder for that length...

Re: Bushnell Elite 6500 They are hard to beat for the price, good glass for the money and the no questions asked warranty works, i tried it. I had two new 3200's show up last week and i see now the warranty is for any owner, not just the first one. Not the most expensive out there, but works...

Re: Savage tupperware... They do flex with a bi-pod on them, didn't hurt the groups from mine though. You can take a piece of aluminum 1/4" angle, cut to fit the ribs in the forestock, drill some holes in the angle, and epoxy in place, cheap fix. Or you can go to brownells.com and pick up a...
