    2012 round count

    Re: 2012 round count I think combining all 4 calibers of pistols I'm right at 3000-3500 rounds, as for long range in the 300 win mag, add another 600 I have about 300-400 empties left on the bench to reload right now, the long rifle is all done. Pistol rounds are scattered, mostly 9mm and 45...

    Advanced Marksmanship cold bore shot, how long ...

    Re: cold bore shot, how long ... @ Kentactic OK, that's what I was waiting for... I dragged out my data book and compared all the conditions over 4 months of shooting and the CBS all seemed to be in the same .50 MOA group. I was dragging a boresnake thru after shooting and then right before I...

    Advanced Marksmanship cold bore shot, how long ...

    Re: cold bore shot, how long ... The reason I asked was that I DID use a temp indicator on the barrel. I did some CBS at the range when it was around 40 degrees out... Now it's in the 70's so the cold bore shots I took back on the cold days are far from the shots I take now. So... a question...

    Advanced Marksmanship cold bore shot, how long ...

    OK, every time I go out to the range, my first shot of the day gets logged in my CBS data page entries log. But... how long between the last shot of the day and the first shot of the day would you consider minimum for the first shot to be a "Cold Bore Shot"? Some say, the next day, like 12-18...

    Gunsmithing replacement barrel, bolt, lug, brake for 110 BA

    Re: replacement barrel, bolt, lug, brake for 110 BA OK, what a bunch of Q's to go over. Here's goes nothing. The lower receiver is the same PN. yes, all the parts listed are OEM, or Savage built and assembled. Yes the bolts are the same, the ends are different to accomodate the larger casing...

    Gunsmithing replacement barrel, bolt, lug, brake for 110 BA

    Re: replacement barrel, bolt, lug, brake for 110 BA OK, After extensive searching and numerous calls to a few different people this is the result of everyone's awesome input and help. I talked with John at Savage-barrels.com and he consulted with McGowen. Savage has agreed that the 110 BA in...

    Gunsmithing replacement barrel, bolt, lug, brake for 110 BA

    OK, I'm at my witts end here. I've tried to contact Savage via phone (no answer to my question.) and facebook postings (got pointed towards the savageshooters.com message board (no luck there either) and towards the 338 Lapuashooters.com message board (no luck x3) and now I'm tired of running...

    The Savage 110 BA rifle report

    Re: The Savage 110 BA rifle report If the conversion kits available I don't think it should have to go thru a FFL, after all, a AR lower is the only piece that goes thru FFL so why would this be any different? I suppose it could have to, you know how screwed up the gov't is. LOL I'm trying to...

    The Savage 110 BA rifle report

    Re: The Savage 110 BA rifle report Well, to be perfectly honest... I really haven't tried any others except this Harris. I don't quite know what I expect from a Bi-pod but I think this one is a weee-bit light duty for the job. It just feels flimsy until I really lean into it. On the ground...

    The Savage 110 BA rifle report

    Re: The Savage 110 BA rifle report Any idea what the cost would be to have the 338 barrel, bolt and magazine on hand to change?

    The Savage 110 BA rifle report

    Re: The Savage 110 BA rifle report wow, I thought I addressed that. This thing doesn't kick at all. I mean literally I could shoot a hundred rounds in an hour and not even know I shot a rifle! As far as the extra mount, it wouldn't be needed for the recoil part but what the hell, I got on...

    The Savage 110 BA rifle report

    Re: The Savage 110 BA rifle report as a followup if anyone is interested. I took it out to the range this evening with about 40 minutes of daylight left, a fast falling sun directly behind me and virtually no wind to deal with. I forgot my rear bag so I had to improvise with my left hand, a...

    rifle sling suggestions?

    Re: rifle sling suggestions? I gotta say the guys at VTAC did a nice job of showing off their item in the video. Thanks for the suggestions, I'm looking at all of them right now.

    rifle sling suggestions?

    I have that new Savage 110 BA and wanted a decent quiet sling for it. It's 15# without the bi-pod and scope so it's a handfull to pack on the quad-runner. I needed something and figured someone here would already have done the research. I see leather, para cord, and nylon... some wanna-be...
