    Savage walks away from the 300blk

    Re: Savage walks away from the 300blk I'm ready to call BS on this one. I have a 16" 300 built on a Rem model 7 and it shoots super and subsonic quite well. I also have several savage rifles that are very accurate. Lastly, one of the most accurate rifles I have is a Savage model 12 with a...

    Rifle Scopes Optic to get 308 to 1000k on 0 MOA base

    Re: Optic to get 308 to 1000k on 0 MOA base I have a pair of Sigthron SIII 6-24 and they both have just over 100MOA of adjustment with a 30mm body. They should get you where you want to be. If you think you need more, the fixed SIII have 150MOA advertised and mine is just under 160. The...

    Savage MKII into AICS (not Airsoft)

    Re: Savage MKII into AICS (not Airsoft) That looks very interesting and I'd surely be interested in adding one to my collection as I like this approach much more than I like the airsoft one.

    Re: stock options for savage heavy 22 lr I have the tacticool and while it certainly looks good, the Boyd's varmint thumbhole is a much better stock.

    Suggestions on a reload kit

    Re: Suggestions on a reload kit The kit will get you going immediately but you will likely want to upgrade everything at some point as every piece tends to be somewhat of a compromise. I've gone full circle in my equipment over the years and if I were starting over using my current knowledge...

    Boyds stock ?

    Re: Boyds stock ? I have the DIP trigger guard. After I fix the inletting to sit flush the factory screws will work fine. The trigger guard came with the rear screw so you are covered there and I took the screw holding the magazine metal off of the factory stock for the front. I already...

    Boyds stock ?

    Re: Boyds stock ? Mine just came out of the box, I really like the feel of it. It seems like I need to clean up the inletting on the bottom a bit but other than that if fits perfectly.

    Which charge for this OCW?

    Re: Which charge for this OCW? The lower node will be more than adequate for 1000 yards and while barrel life may not be an issue, I sure wouldn't want to have to replace brass more often than needed. If you insist on going for the upper limit maybe consider loading the lower node for the...

    Pipedream? Cheap, fast sub MOA 308 from a Dillon.

    Re: Pipedream? Cheap, fast sub MOA 308 from a Dillon. I've used 2520 exclusively in my .308 with 168's and couldn't be happier. Hornady has loads listed for the 175 as well. Forgot to add, I loaded on my Hornady LnL AP for quite a while. I would full length size and deprime, then clean the...

    XR-100 Rangemaster

    Re: XR-100 Rangemaster The XR-100 rifle is an excellent single shot. I've found mine to be the most accurate in my safe other than my benchrest rifle. Mine is a .204 and shoots around .25" at 100 yards. As for other calibers, anything that will fit a short action with the proper bolt face...

    6 yr old

    Re: 6 yr old Probably not the most popular answer but a Thompson/Center Contender in .22lr can be found used for a very reasonable price. Once he is old enough to move up to a centerfire you just swap the barrel.

    Rifle Scopes Talk about luck with a Vortex

    Re: Talk about luck with a Vortex It seems like this is normal for this scope based on everyone's posts. It looks to me that the PST may have more movement one direction than the other and that is what is giving the strange results. It's certainly not a bad thing but would be nice if it...

    Which charge for this OCW?

    Re: Which charge for this OCW? What ranges are you planning on shooting at? If you are going beyond 1000 yards often then go for the higher velocity, otherwise settle on the node around 50 grains and enjoy the longer brass and barrel life.

    Rifle Scopes Sightron Optics and a Rem 700 sps

    Re: Sightron Optics and a Rem 700 sps What base are you getting? Some 20moa bases are fairly low profile while others are very tall. It would change what ring height you really need.

    Gunsmithing SBR Gunsmith Question

    Re: SBR Gunsmith Question I'm certainly no expert, but it seems like buying a new barrel of the correct length would be much simpler than having your barrel sent out to a gunsmith to be cut, threaded and gas port relocated. You could also return the upper to normal length at a later point in...

    Primer Eating Press

    Re: Primer Eating Press Hornady LnL AP here as well. I ran the tube into the top of an empty Vihtavouri Powder container for pistols. It's mostly full now and I have had NO primers escape.

    Rifle Scopes Just found out my ACOG is DOD owned

    Re: Just found out my ACOG is DOD owned Seems like Trijicon needs to take care of this issue. If there are problems with DOD scopes being out there they should allow the public to determine the status before buying one used. If they don't put this in place I'd never be comfortable buying a...

    Rifle Scopes How much magnif. power for 100 yard target shootin

    Re: How much magnif. power for 100 yard target shootin I'd put a Super Sniper fixed 10x or 16x on it and call it done. They are a lot of scope for the money and the adjustable parallax will be needed if shooting inside of 100 yards. They will also let you go well beyond 100 yards if you...
