    Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle?

    Re: Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle? Thanks for that link. Finally thinning the herd on choices. Too much to choose from makes me freeze up a little. Hard to make decision. It's also complicated by the lack of local options so I can't get a chance to try something to see if...

    Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle?

    Re: Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle? It seems you are correct and I stuffed my foot in my mouth before I did my research. I just got off the phone with the Canadian distributor and they said it is a popular rumour but just that, a rumour. O well. There are tons of other good...

    Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle?

    Re: Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle? Thanks. I'm not a huge fan of the stock myself. I read somewhere, maybe here that there is an AICS 1.5 available for the Savage now. Is this true?

    Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle?

    Re: Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle? You describe my barrel perfectly. Tapered like a pencil. Not a match grade barrel by any means. That being said, I've taken a lot of what has been said here to heart. At this point, what is the more sensible route to take? My options...

    Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle?

    Re: Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle? To be honest I personally know zero long range people here. I'm on the east coast of Canada. I pistol shoot mostly, but I've started a nice collection of various other toys and take turns shooting them on rotation LOL. Why do you ask?

    The REAL M&P22 Pistol

    Re: The REAL M&P22 Pistol I just picked up an ISSC M22 and its a great trainer gun too. Its a Glock copy, made in Austria. Cycles most ammo quite reliably. I even got CCI subsonics to work in it, maybe a failure to eject every 20 rounds or so which is more than I can say for almost every...

    10/22 or M&P

    Re: 10/22 or M&P I've had an M&P for a few months now and it is one fun gun. I've blazed through 500+ rounds many an afternoon which is something I don't do on my .223 I've never had a 10/22 nor shot one so I may be biased.

    Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle?

    Re: Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle? After I made that post I did some more reading about that stock and noticed that myself. I just saw the pictures and went whoa, I want that. That being said, I'm prepared to buy an action and a 308 barrel. I don't doubt my current rifle...

    Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle?

    Re: Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle? Thanks for the replies. I will be shooting mostly out to 500 metres. That is the longest range closest to me. We have a 900 meter a few hours away and that will be the absolute max. I'm in Canada and we have some rather odd laws and...

    Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle?

    Re: Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle? So some of you are saying keep my 30.06 and customize what I got. I'm a super newbie when it comes to knowing anything about customizing a rifle. Maybe a bit of a point in the right directions. I'll tell you you what I'm looking for. I...

    Interested in a Savage 110BA - good starter rifle?

    So I'm looking to start my foray in the longer distance shooting. My current rifle is a (don't laugh) plain Remington 700 in 30.06 with a cheap Tasco 4x16x40. I've been getting decent groups out to 300 yards but I want to take a step into the real world and shoot out to 500 or more and get some...
