    Savage magazine issues

    I might order the AICS 5 round mag from midway USA. It's like $68. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/28...ck-to-top-link I'll try that out before ordering a second one. I was looking at the magazine more today and it definitely sits an 1/8" too low in the mag, not a lot of rattle though, fits...

    Savage magazine issues

    Well, I spoke with Savage and they suggested I: A:Ship the rifle to them with the magazine so they can fix it for me. B:Ship them the magazine and they'll ship me a replacement. C:Try an aftermarket accuracy international magazine with it. D:Replace the internal magazine feed mechanisms to allow...

    Savage magazine issues

    Yea, I have one of the early models. Mine doesn't even have a model number on the magazine. Just says accumag on one side and .308 on the other. They obviously knew it was an issue because they've since enstated a new model number magazine to supersede the original.

    Savage magazine issues

    I'm currently running a Savage 10 FCP-SR (1st gen). I don't use the magazine often but it seems whenever I do it's not smooth at all in getting the bullet seated into the barrel. I find 50% of the time I'm finagling with the bolt carrier to try and guid the bullet in. Any recommendations?

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Correct, I did go through silencer shop and it took me several weeks to complete the trust documents, with notary signatures, and get those faxed back over after the purchase.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Well, after speaking to the supervisor they are currently around July 11th or 12th and in the #120's. I believe I'm like 210 or something (not sure what the numbers mean). I was told it would be 1-2 more months before it was finished. I was expecting the can around 10-11 months, which I thought...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Thanks Scott, before reading your response I had already begun the process of contacting the ATF, getting the correct phone number to call, re calling, being informed that I needed the serial number of the can, going through emails from the silencer shop to find it, re calling, speaking to a...

    Rifle Scopes Swfa 5-20 eye relief

    Yea, it's very frustrating. I'm dealing with dropping on the buttstock correctly but also getting proper eye relief. I was just doing some dry fire practice and the reticle plays tricks with my eyes. It reminds me of those old pictures that if you stare at them long enough a picture would...

    Bore Brush

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm gonna pick up a bore snake tomorrow before my range trip. In the future I'll probably go 300 rounds before doing a thorough cleaning with the brass brush. I was just a little worried it would be too harsh on the barrel, thus causing it harm. This stuff isn't...

    Need some options for my grandfather

    I'm trying to get my grandfather into some long range target practice but he probably won't travel to the long distance ranges. Realistically 100-300 yards would be it for him. We just went and looked at a m1a, which I didn't think was a good choice for him to begin with. Anyways, as soon as he...

    Bore Brush

    Idk I was trying to recall what the fitting was referenced as. Possibly a nylon brush but it's brass or copper idk. Scrubs the hard deposits from the barrel. Some say one direction, some say both ways, some say not to use them at all due to the severity of the material. They come in the Otis...

    Bore Brush

    I've put a couple hundred rounds down range with my savage. I've searched for some threads about cleaning and the general consensus is to wait until the barrel starts to degrade in accuracy and then clean. However, no one talks about using a brass/copper bore brush but rather just running the...

    Rifle Scopes Swfa 5-20 eye relief

    Thanks for the replies. I do believe the scope was set on the higher magnification level towards 20x during the range visit yesterday. It was only at 100-200 yards which might be over kill but it was for precision target shooting so I figured the higher the better. It sounds like this could be a...

    Rifle Scopes Swfa 5-20 eye relief

    So I have a few range trips under my belt with this swfa ss HD 5-20. I'll start off by saying I'm a complete noob at long range shooting and thanks to the members out in Texas who helped me get started. Anyways, the eye relief on the swfa is extremely difficult to get adjusted into. There's a...

    Savage 10 FP-SR?

    Glad I picked up my 10 fcp-sr before they cut it out of the picture. It's a great out of the box rifle.
