Local store had some two tone 227's in stock a few weeks ago here.

Read something about a change awhile back for the 9mm twist, nothing about other cals. ALso a change in the barrels, something providing better lockup and accuracy than early M&P's. Also changed trigger parts/etc, giving a reset that is more felt or clicky, rather than just the mushy foward...

Strayed from Remington rifles awhile back for a few reasons and have had several savages over the past few years, all have shot excellent out of the box, .2-.6 moa with almost any bullet and loading (5R-308, 308, 260rem, 6.5cm, 243win). Did gamble on a Remington again, a 5R milspec, after...

Got one of the ET6245FG w/G2DMR reticle a couple weeks back, my limit was 1k for new scope. Read alot of good reviews of the newer Bushnell products, so I opted to try one. Having had a Vortex PST previously on my steel banger rifle. After a few outings with the new scope, I kinda felt like I...

Re: 6.5 creedmoor velocity loss? 6.5 creedmoor: savage LRP 26" barrel, 42.0 H4350 w/140 amax', was around 2805fps @10ft, 8.2mil ~1k (200yd zero). The same load in my 24" savage Model 10 was running around 2770fps (*if I remember correctly). Had to sell one or the other, sold the LRP, it...

Re: input needed tikka t3 lite or ruger american?? Tikka is the way to go.

Re: SCAR vs ACR? Have had both, just my observations... the acr's lower, seems like it's built a little on the cheap and might not stand up to much abuse. The safety loosely snaps together, the grip isn't replaceable and doesn't feel very solid. I did like the acr's non-recip charging handle...

Re: glock comp sights I like the Warren tactical sights w/small-fiber front for a straight game gun. For a carry/game-gun I now run an ameriglo combo similar to the defoor set, with the the thinnest front white surrounded night sight available and the bigger notch w/dim no-white-outline rear...

Re: Who makes the extended mags for the Savage 12 LRP? Search for user z71rat, something like that for the mags that fit the stock bm. Went with the accurate mag dbm in my LRP, w/ai mags, works great.

Re: Favorite trigger for a savage Put a riflebasix sav-2 on my latest rifle, I am impressed with it so far, not far off from the jewell I was using on my last remington type build, very crisp and adjusts well. The biggest thing is the actual trigger part itself, I never cared for the too...

Re: Fitting a B&C Stock to by Savage? I usually use long sockets with sandpaper wrapped around them, lots of sizes to utilize between standard and metric.

Re: Savage model 12 lrp in 260 rem any thoughts What he said. Recently got one in 6.5 creedmoor, hard to beat for the price. Barrel is a tad on the heavy side, it's 16.4# fully rigged, could be worse. Sold the HS stock and replaced it with a choate. Makes one-hole/five-round groups at a...

Re: Choate Tactical Stock Savage? Recently put one on a savage LRP rifle. Don't think you can beat one for the price. They are heavier than an HS, the ergos aren't exactly as good as some others, but they gotta be dang near indestructable. Cheekweld works out just right with a stock pack and...

Re: Rail size on Choate Tactical stock? The bipod adapter measures .490 outside edges (lips are .075 tall), .390 above that, taper's to .383 below the stud. Not sure if that helps or not..

Re: Savage 12 LRP / choate stock / accurate-mag dbm I didn't care much for the HS stock with the smaller grip area, guess I coulda wrapped it, the choate will get me by until an AICS is available for savages, ...maybe someday? Not sure how much aluminum is inside the plastic, but if the...
