    Savage Manners Stock Alternative

    I appreciate the input. I’d say the simplified answer to the question would be because I don’t feel like I’m outshooting the rifle. Should the time come where I feel the rifle’s the weak link, I’d feel justified in looking at a completely new setup. That being said, given what many have...

    Savage Manners Stock Alternative

    Just realized both mentioned LRI specifically - seems like it might be one of the only ways to go at this point if I was intent on sticking with a T2. Of course cost effectiveness goes out the window with this route but I guess then again who gets into this with the intent of saving money…

    Hi everyone, long time lurker but finally getting the gumption to post. I’ve got a savage 11vt in .308 with the bottom bolt release and 4 round DBM that honestly has been a great rifle in the ~10 years I’ve owned it. I took it to Ed Shell’s long range course at CVT and he had me shooting sub...
