    small/light/portable swinging target stands?

    This was my solution, its made of two 6 foot T-posts. Cut one in half, drill holes in the two legs and forward of the middle on the uncut one. One bolt will hold it together and allow legs to fold. A couple corners on the legs need to be trimmed and rounded to allow it to fold. I also pot a...

    Gunsmithing Savage 110 Mcree

    Thanks for the comments, now I feel a little vindicated for all the looks of disapproval for the hours spent in the garage. 338 RUM Runner, when do I start?

    Gunsmithing Savage 110 Mcree

    Scott Mcree makes great stocks. I happened to get one in trade a few years ago with plans on dropping my 15 + year old Savage into it if I could get the right center section. Needless to say Scott kept saying he was on it and he would have some soon, well I grew tired of waiting. Nothing...

    Re: New to Michigan Thanks again everyone, I shot a few rounds out of a new Para .45 today at the pit. Seems like a great place for pistol, just silly to do anything there with a rifle besides zeroing. Thanks for listing the available ranges, 600 yards is not too terrible,but I would prefer...

    Member Link Up New to Michigan

    Re: New to Michigan ATH, I agree, even though there is plenty of open area there are also a lot of scattered residences. I hope to find a spot I can improve with tires filled with sand. I am not one for spray and pray either, slow aimed fire.

    I just moved to Almont MI (north of Detroit) does anyone know of any long distance ranges that are not three hours away? Perhaps another member in the area with a private spot they dont mind sharing......

    300 winchester rifle

    Re: 300 winchester rifle I bought a savage 110 in .300 win mag in 1995 for $225 and have been shooting it ever since, not once have I thought "I wish I had bought a .308 winchester". Let me caveat my earlier post, my point was that you can build what you want pretty cheaply. You will then...

    Range Report AR500 Steel targets Longevity?

    Re: AR500 Steel targets Longevity? I agree, I have been banging away at a 25% IPSC at 675 meters for about a year, the .300 win mag only takes the paint off. Love the "ding".
