    Upgrade to Boyd's Tacticool stock?

    Re: Upgrade to Boyd's Tacticool stock? Depending on what you are trying to do, I'm much happier with the Boyd's Thumbhole stock than I am the Tacticool. It doesn't look as 'cool' but the fit and finish and quality of the material is superior. It will correct the cheek weld issue you are...

    Rifle Scopes SS20x42 questions

    Re: SS20x42 questions Tracking on my 16x has been great as well but it's a bit much scope for anything inside of 200 yards. I had it on a rimfire and found myself fighting with it to find the target at or inside 100 yards. I'd certainly be better off with the 10x and think that unless all...

    Savage 10fp-sr Homebrews

    Re: Savage 10fp-sr Homebrews I've had great luck with AA2520 and 168gr Nosler Custom Competitions. My stock Howa will shoot around 1/2 MOA with these components and might get better with a different powder. The Noslers work great and can be bought at a great price too in the bulk packs.

    Advice on chassis for Remington 700sa .308

    Re: Advice on chassis for Remington 700sa .308 I'd look into the Sightron SIII series for the glass and try all of the chassis systems out before picking one. I would also suggest trying the HS fixed stock as well. I was ready to go with the chassis system and was sorting out which one when...

    Re: 338 lapua brass (lapua brand) I bought some from Bruno's late last week and they appeared to have plenty in stock.

    Re: 300gr smk where are they in stock? www.bigsupplyshop.com shows them as in stock. I bought a scope from them recently and they were very straight forward to order from and shipped quickly.

    Recommend 22LR ammo?

    Re: Recommend 22LR ammo? It all comes down to what results you want and at what price. The best performance for the dollar so far on my rifle is the Eley Sport. It shoots quite well and is the cheapest of the ammo it liked. I also had good luck with both of the Wolfs, CCI Standard, the...

    300gr berger vs sierra vs lapua for savage 110ba

    Re: 300gr berger vs sierra vs lapua for savage 110ba I haven't shot my 338 yet but have the SMK's, OTM's and Scenars on hand as well as the Hornady 285gr BTHP. The OTM's are no where close to magazine length at the lands while all of the others are. I will likely use them as single shot...

    Drying brass?

    Re: Drying brass? I put them in a colander and swirl them while blowing air through with a compressor. Once they look mostly dry I do the swirling with a few paper towels and then let air dry over night.

    New Remington 700 26" bbl should it be floated?

    Re: New Remington 700 26" bbl should it be floated? Toss the factory plastic stock....ALWAYS. If on a budget, I've had good luck with the Boyd's laminate replacement stocks and they are mostly drop in. I put a .257 Weatherby Vanguard in one and have seen sub MOA groups with the generic...

    Zero distance for .22 LR

    Re: Zero distance for .22 LR I tend to zero everything for 100. This is tricky with a .22lr because a change of ammo can change POI quite a lot at 100 if going between high velocity and match ammo. I am in process of documenting not only my drops for different yardage but also zero and...

    Howa detachable mag system

    Re: Howa detachable mag system I decided to try the kit. I'm going to have to bed the stock and make pillars to make it work. My Howa is the supreme varminter in a laminate thumbhole stock. Yes it's plastic and other setups are much more durable but mine doesn't go in the field so the...

    .17 Rem Fireball Brass

    Re: .17 Rem Fireball Brass What he said. I made some from 221 early on before 17 brass was available but wouldn't recommend this route.

    Reloading at the range

    Re: Reloading at the range Get a Harrel's precision press. Build in clamp so you can use it anywhere essentially. It comes in three sizes and I have the PPC one, use it all the time for my Fireball cases and no issues with it at all. As for powder, I've thought about doing this at the...

    Drastic POI change??

    Re: Drastic POI change?? A friend had this happen on a few occasions now. Each time it was base/rings came loose on two different rifles. He is no longer allowed to work on anything. If everything checks out you may want to try a different scope. If the barrel was fouled heavily that...

    Savage MKII FV-SR questions..

    Re: Savage MKII FV-SR questions.. The 'softness' of the tacticool stock can't be overstated. I have one from my TR and am not a big fan of it other than the looks. I purchased a Boyd's thumbhole stock to replace the plastic one on my FV-SR and couldn't be happier. It certainly isn't as...

    Savage MKII into AICS (not Airsoft)

    Re: Savage MKII into AICS (not Airsoft) I am getting more and more interested in this every time I see it. My machining skills are lacking but I do have a mini-mill at home and am thinking about tackling this. Can you give me the dimensions of the base rectangle needed to do this?
