    camo painting rifle stock

    I like this. I have the TR version myself and just painted it green after a failed camo job( the barrel and action are still black). I liked half of the rifle and not the other. Your camo patern breaks the rifle up nicely. Do you have any issues with the bipod leaving marks in your paint or...

    Savage Mark ll TR Range Report

    I saw some sub sonic ammo online but didn't think to get that. Might just grab a box when I can. How far out are you shooting with sub ammo?

    Savage Mark ll TR Range Report

    Not yet. They will be on the list for the next outing....maybe. I've been a little reluctant to shoot them b/c I have very little of the mini-Mags left compared to others. I haven't been able to find it locally or on line since last year and that sucks bad being its a favorite of mine.

    Savage Mark ll TR Range Report

    A number of people seem to recommend that. Aim Surplus tends to have it from time to time, I'll keep an eye out.

    Are semi auto rifles harder to shoot?

    Never said it couldn't be pulled smoothly. This is just my observation for me, no one else. I've had to hear my former boss who was an Army Sniper constantly go on about bolt guns but was impressed with my AR's, coming from him that was a compliment. I'm prior Army as well, my rifle was a M16A1...

    Precision shooting training with a 22lr?

    If the gun is accurate then yes, it's another tool to use. Look at the 22LR as a cartridge all its own and not just a trainer. Match ammo isn't always required either, some rifles shoot the cheap stuff/non-match ammo better. Find a round your rifle shoots well with, hit the 100yd line have at...

    Set Screw or Clamp on?

    Go with clamp on. I went with that on my last build and that block doesn't move and no, I didn't use the blue stuff. The gas block I went with is a Yankee Hill Machine low profile block. If you go with it, it's the only block they have where you don't leave the gap for what would be the end cap...

    Are semi auto rifles harder to shoot?

    This is me. I just stepped into my first bolt gun, a Savage Mark ll TR, yeah, it's a 22LR, but I can hit much tighter groups first day than with my AR's. It was so damn easy to be more consistent that maybe this will help me shot my AR's better, cause I can see where this will go otherwise...

    Rifle Scopes AR carry handle scope question

    I had a 4x Leapers scope mounted to their carry handle mount when I first got my AR with the fixed carry handle. I ended up swapping the upper receiver for a flat top and then putting an EOTECH 512 on it in the end. Now I will be faced with the decision again because I'm building another AR...

    Savage Mark ll TR Range Report

    No, the ammo isn't impossible to find. It's more a matter of price. The range I go to has it but sells it at 5 times the cost. I can find it online much cheaper. Pellet rifles are where I'm going to be headed back to eventually once I have a backyard again. That .177 is what I cut my teeth on as...

    Savage Mark ll TR Range Report

    That's what I've heard and that's what I'm looking for. I'm impressed with what I've seen on the maiden voyage so I expect it to only get better. I have a few other types of ammo on hand besides the CCI (Mini-Mags and Stingers), some Fiocchi and Federal bulk ammo, I'll try these next trip. Some...

    Savage Mark ll TR Range Report

    I've been using an M&P 15-22 for Rimfire needs but wanted better accuracy, plus I wanted to get into bolt guns and figured with the ranges I have access to shooting this out to 200 should help with trigger time and wind calls. You won't be disappointed.

    Couldn't fit this in the first post. It's the target for 100yds.

    Savage Mark ll TR Range Report

    I picked up my Savage a couple of weeks ago and got to break it in this past Friday. I was very pleased with what I saw and just wanted to give a summary that may help someone out. I chose what I considered the 3 best examples of what I have in my cache. I tend to shoot Mini Mags almost...

    Range Report POI shift before/after mounting a muzzlebrake ?

    I run a break on my 20" AR and it changed my zero. I actually gained a MOA back if not mistaken may have been slightly more and maybe about half a MOA on the windage, would have to check my data book to be sure. Not the setup you're asking about but reinforcing what Joe said above me. It gave me...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Bump

    I had received a Viper 6.5-20x50 from Vortex (drop shipped) and found a couple scratches on the inside lens coating. I sent it overnight on my dime and ended up not only getting a new scope, but was able to switch to a different reticle (basically the cost of my shipping) for free considering...

    Rifle Scopes Keep the vortex, or grab a millett?

    I was down between the same 2 scopes for my 20" AR except my Viper is the 6.5-20x50. I too saw too many negative reviews on the Millet and couldn't find anything bad for the Viper. I don't regret the Viper, the quality is amazing, glass is clear even at max power, turrets aren't mushy and very...
