    Compensator or muzzle break reviews / suggestions.

    My vote goes to the Badger fte, but it does require extra machining. So if your looking for something that needs little work I would go with JP enterprises bennie cooley tactical muzzle brake.

    Rifle Scopes Recommendations on (3) scopes

    I have the ss 10x42 on my 308 and love it. It has been dropped and abused and still functions perfectly. The one down side is that it is fixed power.

    Bartlein 4 groove - who's used?

    I have a 4 groove chambered in 300WSM. I like it and can't complain about the velocity it produces. I'm pushing a 215 Berger Hybrid at 3050 fps. That said I'm not sure that there is any real difference in the performance of a 4 groove versus a 5r.

    Badger FTE brake vs Roedale brake

    I have the FTE on both my 300 WSM and 280AI and it is great. It really takes the bite out of the WSM, it's more of a push than a punch. I'll throw some pictures up when I get a chance.

    Gunsmithing First Savage build, Need some help

    Go with a stevens 200 if you plan on upgrading the trigger, and only need an action. I have two builds based on the Stevens and have been happy with both. You can pick up a new Stevens 200 rifle for around $350 or find an action for aroun $250.
