    Savage Mark II FV-SR Slow Build

    I went this route too, just different optics. It is very accurate and very fun. Let us know how the compensator works out, I didn't even know it was available. I always wanted to put something on those threads, but a $600 can on a $300 .22 didn't seem right to me.

    Hunting & Fishing Looking for ammo with 175 SMK's

    The post your SMK kills thread is what got me wanting to try the SMK. I have good success with federal fusions on game inside 200 yds, haven't tried it further than that. I would like to start shooting long range like I built my rifle for, and eventually do some long range hunting once I am...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First pistol

    I am looking to buy my first pistol in the next week or two. I wanted a glock because of their good reputation and aftermarket support. I read somewhere that M&P's shoot more similar to a 1911 than glocks do. I know I want a 1911 later on, so this caught my attention. Can anyone attest to this...

    Re: how effective is Camo??? When hunting? I don't fall for the big camo hype. But, I believe that it is important that the camo or clothes you wear break up your outline, not necessarily exactly match the foliage around you. The same general colors as the environment should be OK. Hunt the...
