    Stock options for savage 116

    Re: Stock options for savage 116 I was in the same boat a while back. I chose to go with the Choate A2 as an interim solution. It has performed as expected, but is somewhat on the heavy side. Finally I decided to spring for a Manners T2 in coyote tan. It has not arrived yet, but I cant wait...

    Fast Twist short barrel 300 Win Mag

    Re: Fast Twist short barrel 300 Win Mag To be honest with you, my grouping was exactly the same with the 215 hybrids as it was with the 230gr Tactical OTM bullets. I was using 67.4 grains of H4381. Today, I was a little more impressed with the results of the RL-22 and the AMAXs; however, I...

    Fast Twist short barrel 300 Win Mag

    Re: Fast Twist short barrel 300 Win Mag All right, so I was able to get some numbers for you guys. I did not shoot several strings, but this will let you know what to expect, nonetheless. I am getting 2,539 fps from the 230 grain Berger hybrid with 67.4 grains of H4381. Also, I am getting...

    Fast Twist short barrel 300 Win Mag

    Re: Fast Twist short barrel 300 Win Mag I know you all have been waiting for chrono results. My wife gave birth to our twins on June 30th, so my hands have been pretty tied since then. As soon as I have time to make it out to the range, I will post some new numbers. I hope to have a couple...

    Fast Twist short barrel 300 Win Mag

    Re: Fast Twist short barrel 300 Win Mag Thanks for the article. As far as the Zeiss is concerned, you are absolutely right. That came off of one of my hunting rifles. Currently, I have have a Burris Fullfield Tac II mounted on it. Seeing it also has a 1" tube, there will not be tons of room...

    Fast Twist short barrel 300 Win Mag

    Re: Fast Twist short barrel 300 Win Mag That's good to know. I have been searching the boards for guys that are shooting short barreled .300's, but I have not had much luck. At any rate, I am knee deep in this project, so I am just ready to make it to range.

    Fast Twist short barrel 300 Win Mag

    All right guys, this is my first post, so play nice. I am in the process of building short barreled Savage 300 Winchester Magnum. I will begin by saying that I have been a huge fan of short barreled rifles since I bought my first Remington 700 SPS Tactical a couple years ago. Well this new build...
