Re: Whats Causing this? I shot a sig 556 a couple weeks ago that was doing the same thing. The brass is being spun 180 degrees as it is ejecting and hitting the side of your receiver or ejection deflector hard enough to damage the brass. I would bet you may see a wear spot on the side of the...

Re: 300WM question.....probably a dumb one too! Yes, any .308 would do. Some say it is light for a 1:10 twist, but I have had good success with 168gr Amax accuracy-wise. 175gr is a good weight for the 300 win as a hunter. IMR 4831 is a good powder for that weight. I would start at 70 grains...

Re: The word "Budget"... This is the most worthless thread I've seen in a while. Way to make people feel bad who can't afford the best things things as if seeing pictures of $5k+ rigs on here everyday isn't bad enough. You don't need to own a Porsche to learn how to drive well. I'd rather...

Re: replacement trigger for accutrigger Really? My accutrigger came out of the box set at 1 5/8# and has been 100% reliable. It is still too heavy for a pure benchrest setup but I like to feel a little pressure before the rifle fires.

Re: Problem with my AccuTrigger Send it back to Savage - I'm sure they will make it right without you having to mess around with the trigger.

Re: Check out my brass. I can't really tell what I am looking for. I see some dings in the brass on the right. Semi-auto guns are always hard on brass and sometimes they will get beat-up really quickly. I always get dings on my brass. If it isn't a clear split, I rub my finger nail over...

Re: Problem with my AccuTrigger I have the same gun in 300WM and have not experienced this problem. I know it is a different trigger system but my .22lr trigger does not have this problem either.

Re: what kind of bino's you guys using? I have leupold 10x42mm cascades which are light, compact and provide excellent clarity and low-light transmission. I would compare the glass to their mark 4 scopes.

Re: Leupold Mark 4: What the hell do I have here??? There is no such thing as proper scope height. What is important is proper cheek weld and there are many ways to accomplish this. Your cheek bone should rest on the top of the stock. If it doesn't blackhawk makes some risers that strap-on...

Re: one and only one rifle for any north american game I changed my mind: Winchester model 1886 in .45-70

Re: Giving a Sig 228 new life... Very nice. Hold onto that piece! It's going to be worth a lot some day.

Re: 190's or 220's??? That's the best plan. Don't buy a lot before you know what your gun likes. My gun really likes federal gameshok 180 grains (.5 moa) but i wouldn't bet on consistent down range performance past 400 yards. Btw - i can load those same rounds for about 65 cents (not...

Re: 190's or 220's??? Find whatever your gun likes. Assuming quality match bullets, 10 grains in a heavy .308 won't make much of a difference at 1000 yards since both will stay supersonic past 1200 yards. Bullet design will play a larger factor in wind resistance than 10 grains at that...

Re: cant make up my mind glock or 1911 I do not like Glocks for a few reasons - the greatest of which is the grip doesn't fit my hand very well. The frame also flexes bad enough to annoy me. I see more failures in Glocks at my range but I think due to the price point there are more Glock...
