    Which Savage for long range shooting?

    Haven't posted anything for a while but decided to update this thread. I ended up going with a Savage 10 FCP-K .308 and could not be happier with it. Manage .5moa at 100m reasonably easily and thats without handloads as Im not set up to reload for .308 at this point. I've had it for about 5...

    Re: Painting rifle I decided to throw some green into it to break it up a bit and looks pretty good in my opinion. I will throw up some pics of it out in the field after Christmas.

    Gunsmithing Painting rifle

    Re: Painting rifle Appoligies for the crappy pics. These are the before and after shots of my rifle. Didn't quit turn out as well as I hoped. I should have gone a darker colour for the base coat to get more contrast but I still like it. May grab some photos of it out in the field over...
