I own many semi-autos -- including duplicates and, in some cases, triplicates -- IN CASE there is a ban. If the time comes when a ban is implemented, then the time has come to fight.

This one: Savage 10 P 308 20-inch HVY BRL Black Online Gun Store

For what purpose?

That Winchester ammo is crap. That's probably 2/3 of your problem. Get some quality match ammo (RE: Black Hills 69-grain SMK) and start handloading. Another issue I have seen from working on several of my friends' and co-workers' DPMS rifles/uppers is that they seem to not always have the...

Sako Finnlight or Weatherby Mark V.

Spend the extra $$ to get an Aimpoint PRO. You won't regret it. When on sale, they can be found for $365.

If you can get the Leupold Mil/LE discount ... you should check out the Bushnell G2DMR on Promotive.

To the OP ... I bought that Bushnell through Promotive in mid-December. Everyone here is correct: it's the DMR with G2 reticle, .1 MRAD, 5 MIL per revolution. Great scope for the $$. Was going to go with a Leupold Mark 4 FFP M5 6.5-20x through their LEO/Mil program ... but the Bushnell was...

GMX is an all-copper projectile. I have the 7th edition of the Hornady reloading manual ... so the GMXs aren't included in that. However, I would load them similar to a Barnes 165-grain TTX ... IMR 4895 data: Starting load = 41.5 (2491 fps tested velocity in a 24" Krieger) Max load = 44.0...

Excellent. Case closed. Thanks for the input, folks!

Hey all. Did a search to no real avail. I just picked up a NIB Savage 10P with a 20" barrel. This is not my first rifle, but it is my first brand-new rifle. I anticipate setting it up for use up to 1000 yards, as I am lucky enough to be a member at Sacramento Valley Shooting Center --...

This is my exact load. Works equally well with Nosler Custom Competition 69 grain.

Here's another option for you ... it's been mentioned before. I was on the fence like you for another 18"-20" long gun in my safe. Couldn't decide between a Rem 700P or a 5R milspec. I ended up going with the Savage 10P instead. For less than $500 delivered, you simply cannot do any...

Thanks for the opinions, folks -- it is appreciated. HD1911 ... my hunts would be in pretty sparsely vegetated areas in the West and Southwest, so I can go with a higher magnification on the low end; but your point is well taken. Of course, now I have just screwed myself on my decision ...

I have a generous friend who is offering me a brand-new-in-the-box Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 6.5-20x50MM with a FFP TMR reticle and M5 turrets for right around $1250. In this price range (i.e., $1250 or less), is this the best scope I can get? I have concern with the limitation of only 5 mil...
