    Finally finished stockade savage rifle

    Finally got the stockade stock painted and the texture on. $250 stockade stock with some costs for finishing. Savage 11 trophy hunter xp. .260 Remington. That is a laser on the side. An experiment in red lasers for illumination for coyotes.

    Newb on a budget

    Savage 11/111 Trophy Hunter XP $525 w/ Nikon Prostaff 3-9 Scope (lifetime warranty) -Nikon Scope ~$125 Drops down to $400 with accutrigger. Try and find a varmint spring for the accutrigger to swap out. If you're really getting into it and handload, then I would suggest a 6mm or 6.5mm round...

    Savage 11 Gift!

    Well, I consider myself very lucky, and that 3 college buddies and my brother pitched in to grab me a Savage 11 Trophy Hunter XP as a wedding gift. I couldn't believe it when I got it. They got me a 204 Ruger. I also have a 260 Rem in the same gun. Different scope on that one, and I have a...

    Night Vision Laser Designators Rock

    I'm actually starting a project using a laser as a light source. I chose red light because it is proven more effective for coyotes. Any light can work, green, red, white, but for a coyote red shows up as a gray and usually gives a few seconds longer for a shot. Green is the best to see at night...

    Night Vision Adjustable Windage/Elevation Mount for Laser

    I ordered a ~250mW laser in 660nm red spectrum with a cheap 18650 battery for $47 shipped from Israel from a reputable guy with a small website. I have to wait until tomorrow for dimensions on the laser to get the diameter. I will be mounting on the side. I will probably just epoxy in a well nut...

    Night Vision Adjustable Windage/Elevation Mount for Laser

    Yeah I don't know why I didn't think about mounting on the side. That's what I'll do and I'll just shim where necessary. I just thought it might need more adjustment than a mount could handle. I should be fine. I'm looking at 200mW rated which is usually closer to 300 actual. Should this be...

    Night Vision Adjustable Windage/Elevation Mount for Laser

    I have an interesting build going on here. I'm waiting on a stockade stock for my 260 Rem that will be used for nuisance hunting or varmint hunting. I'm working on a laser for SPOTTING. That is correct. Looking to get a laser set up to see animals down range. An adjustable focus laser that is...

    Yup, another gun cabinet cerakote oven... *pic heavy*

    That is awesome. Turned out great. Couple questions, how much are you up to total? Another, I have a propane smoker that I'm looking to use all winter long up in northern NY. Where the hell can I get board insulation for high temperatures at a reasonable price? How much did you pay for it and...

    DIY light weight compact shooting mat

    When I was 16 I had my grandma sew me up a shooting mat. I grabbed 1000d cordura and she had the perfect sized foam mat that she sewed around it. I'm 21 now and I can't find that stupid thing anywhere. I stopped shooting until recently and I can't find it. I used to use it for 25yd reduced size...

    New press turned .5MOA gun into 2MOA gun?

    Bad press. Getting into reloading and shooting, Lee has served me VERY well. I bought a Savage 11 Trophy Hunter XP, (lower quality savage 11, even has a little different bolt). I have a Lee anniversary kit and nothing else. I was running up loads with IMR4831 and A-maxes and I was pegging just...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Without reading through this entire thread, I am assuming SS is the way to go, and to plunge in and never look back? I never heard about the alcohol either, but that seems to be an intuitive way to dry brass.
