Re: Scoping advice for a Savage mk II TRR Just thought I'd give you guys an update. I went with the Tasco varmint 6-24x42 mil-dot. Bought it from Opticsplanet.com for $88.34 delivered via UPS (free shipping) After I recieve it and get it mounted, I'll post a range report. Thanks for...

Re: Need a .22LR Suppressor - Serviceable? SilencerCo makes a VERY nice .22lr supressor that is capable of being *FULLY* broken down to be cleaned. http://www.silencerco.com/Silencerco/#/22sparrow/ Check it out. Hansii

Re: Naked into the Wilderness 1: Priorities Jolly Roger, Sorry if my missive was a little lacking on details. I was assuming that we were discussing the continent of North America. You are absolutely right that on other continents you will find poisonous insects and fish and such around. I...

Re: Scoping advice for a Savage mk II TRR Center Point, really? You know, you're third guy to mention CP to me for use on a .22LR. I've done a cursory check, and I notice that most of the CP scopes only come with about 40 clicks. Is than enough to get out past 200yds? Or am I going to be...

Re: savage 93R17 TR scope base Vman: Look at the difference in cartrige size between a .22LR and a .17HMR, the .17 has a LOT more bang behind it than a .22LR. More push = greater velocity = flatter ballistic trajectory = less drop. Make sense? for a relevant discussion about .22LR drop and...

Re: Scoping advice for a Savage mk II TRR Hi Guys, Firstly, I really appreciate the advice given by the commenters. So far the overriding opinion seems to be the Tasco Varmint. (Which I have checked out.) I had a friend make me look at a sheppard scope for a .22LR, but I just can't see...

Hi guys... I just bought a Savage Mk II TRR (the one with the accessory rail) and am looking for a decent scope to mount on it. What I plan to do with this platform: I'm setting this rifle up as a trainer for a Savage 10 FCP McMillan. My plan is to work at sucessive 50yd increments, staying...

Re: Navy PFT Caveman, Not sure what to say. I'll go by my command's CFL and see if he has the conversion charts on paper. If so, I'll get a copy and post it here. Hansii

Re: Naked into the Wilderness 1: Priorities Tres, Hrrm, not really trying to "debate", as I pretty much agree with you, in all cases. Food: You say that "a equal energy should be put into learning medicinal and edible (nutritious) plants." to which I totally and whole-heartedly agree. My...

Re: Naked into the Wilderness 1: Priorities Tres, I couldn't agree more with what you've said. (Although, I've never been unable to start a fire with a Bic lighter, even in snowy or damp conditions. Difficult sometimes, yes. Because of wind, etc.) On the fire thing, I have probably...

Re: Naked into the Wilderness 1: Priorities Tres, Decent write-up. If I may add a thing or two here from my own experiences. First, I suppose I need to throw out my "qualifications"... as a kid, I lived in places like Washington state, Utah, Northern Cali, and Nevada. I've had my fair share...
