    Gunsmithing Savage replacement bolt head?

    Looking for a savage short action (10) rifle with a 308 bolt face for a project. Found a good deal on a .223. I remember hearing that replacement bolt heads were available? Can anyone provide info on where to get a replacement bolt head? Any issues with doing this?

    How Accurate should my Kimber .22 be?

    Re: How Accurate should my Kimber .22 be? You have a very nice rifle. How well will it shoot? It depends on a lot of factors, mostly the quality of the ammo and how well your gun likes that particular ammo, and the wind if you are shooting out to 100 yards. I will not say anyone around here...

    Gunsmithing Savage 10 action vrs 12 or 16 actions?

    I have a friend that is going to build a Savage rifle. He is looking for a Model 10 rifle or action in 308 bolt face. Are the model 12 and model 16 actions the same? If not, what is the difference?

    100yard group?

    Re: 100yard group? Towert7. Most .22's will not consistently shoot under moa at 100. The groups talked about above are world class groups. 2.6” is typical of the ammo you are shooting. I have a CZ 452 sporter that I shoot around 5000 rounds a year through. With high end ammo it might average...

    Gunsmithing Who works on Rugers? Re-barrel job

    Re: Who works on Rugers? Re-barrel job The reason I read this site is to learn. Once in a while I have to ask a beginner question. Today is one of those days. What is the "Breach clearance typically set at .015" for field guns". I am also interested in why a Ruger action is not worth...

    Re: CZ452 Varmint vs American I have an American and I have been thinking about a varmint. I shoot off hand matchs. Do you really think the heaver weight would help me shoot better off hand?

    cleaning my new Anschutz (any .22 Barrel)

    Re: cleaning my new Anschutz There are many ways to clean. Soak your barrel as long as the product allows and keep the patches small enough that you don’t have to pound the rod down the barrel. I clean my barrels with Butch’s bore shine, but I am guessing any quality cleaner will work. I...

    Need help selecting scope for CZ Varment

    Re: Need help selecting scope for CZ Varment You will not regret getting the best glass you can afford. The burris fullfields are bright and can be purchased for under or around $300, depending what power you get. The Nikon Monarks are a little more but very nice glass. I have a Loupold VXIII...

    1 MOA Out of the box

    Re: 1 MOA Out of the box What I read was that the 100 yard record for .22 rim fire was an average of .6 MOA for 10, 10 shot groups.

    1 MOA Out of the box

    Re: 1 MOA Out of the box Anyone who says consistent 1 MOA at 100 with a .22 rim fire is easy is either very lucky, has a very expensive rifle shooting very expensive ammo with no wind, or doesn’t know what they are talking about. I just finished shooting my 8th 500 round brick of .22 this...

    Re: Weather affecting 100 zero? it did cool off, it also went from sunny to overcast. Mirage may have been a factor. Another question, Do you all have to fine tune your .22's 100 yard zero each trip to the range?

    Weather affecting 100 zero?

    Re: Weather affecting 100 zero? It did go from sunny to cloudy. As for it being psychological, there were three of us shooting, so the effect would have had to hit us all. We were shooting out of the same box of ammo, I can't help but wonder if we just hit a bunch of ammo with lower volisity...
