    Savage edge

    Re: Savage edge If you just want a cheap but effective rifle for deer hunting, go for it. If you want to do a .308 build, get a Stevens.

    CDI bottom metal - AICS mags - Alpha mags - review

    Re: CDI bottom metal - AICS mags - Alpha mags - review So I just got back from the range. I only had 20 rounds, so I loaded up both Alpha mags to capacity. Fed and functioned perfectly. Shot some steel at 400 for 12 rounds, sighted in with two shots at 200, shot a 3-shot 1" group at 200...

    CDI bottom metal - AICS mags - Alpha mags - review

    Re: CDI bottom metal - AICS mags - Alpha mags - review There is absolutely NO issue with the shorter OAL rounds sliding forward with the Alpha. I rapidly engaged the bolt (one feed per second) for 10 tests of a full mag, and they never slid forward at all. It's just a great product. Even if...

    CDI bottom metal - AICS mags - Alpha mags - review

    WARNING: very long post with many pictures. For those interested in CDI bottom metal or Alpha magazines (AICS pattern). Well, here goes. Over the past few months I've had many questions, done much research, and posted quite a bit. Since many of my questions I previously had would be answered by...

    M110 replacement?

    Re: M110 replacement? Guys, KAC won the contract. That doesn't mean their system is the best. It means it was the best of the systems that actually tried to win the contract. If you got the stones to take the risk and you win it, you are allowed to charge extra. Are there 0.5 MOA capable...

    Could someone explain...?

    Re: Could someone explain...? When installing, just use the Go and No-go gauges. The field gauge is for what it sounds like--to be used in the field for rapidly changing barrels.

    Rifle Scopes PST Disappointment

    Re: PST Disappointment A guy waits half a year, spends over $800, and the product will not work. Yeah, I'd be pissed, too.

    Rifle Scopes NXS or SS5-20x or Vortex Razor HD - Preference?

    Re: NXS or SS5-20x or Vortex Razor HD - Preference? Thank you sirs. This is extremely helpful, especially the bit about switching to the Razor. Everything you said is exactly my opinion on the Razor. I like the cheaper FFP, the illumination controls, and I love the reticle. Right now I'm...

    Rifle Scopes NXS or SS5-20x or Vortex Razor HD - Preference?

    First, I'm sorry if this has been covered. Second, this is not a quid pro quo thread. Third, I'm only interested in opinions of people who have either 1) owned these scopes or 2) used these scopes. So, the deal is, sometime in the hopefully-not-to-distant future, I plan on upgrading from my...

    Gunsmithing McGowan barrels quality & price point comparisons?

    Re: McGowan barrels quality & price point comparisons? I recently got a 26" bull contour with a recessed crown for my Savage. After a few rounds to get on paper, I shot a 3-shot 0.34" group followed by a 5-shot 0.75" group. I'm very pleased.

    What makes a bipod so great?

    Re: What makes a bipod so great? The main difference is durability and backing by the company. Harris or Atlas is going to replace your pod no-questions-asked if it fails. And it pretty much will NEVER fail. That being said, I've always used the $30 Rock Mount bipods and have never had an...

    Rifle Scopes Problem with new NF

    Re: Problem with new NF Are you sure it's not the tip of your barrel? No joke, I've seen it happen on some setups when the lower powers are used.

    Advanced Marksmanship MOA adjust

    Re: MOA adjust I think the solution is to think in terms of MOA or milliradians, and stop thinking about misses/dialing/anything in terms of inches, cm, feet, yards, metres, etc.

    Inexpensive 48" case/bag needed

    I am in the need of a rifle case/drag bag for my 26" Savage in B&C A2 with SS10x42m and bipod. Budget: $75 Usage: very low abuse (i.e. house > car > range > car > house) Features: at least 48" main compartment, preferably w/smaller compartments. Shoulder straps preferable but not...

    Advanced Marksmanship MOA adjust

    Re: MOA adjust If you have a scope that is exactly MOA-accurate, then 1 moa at 100 yards = 1.047 inches. 1 moa at 1000 yards = 10.47 inches. So if your drop is 400 inches at 1000 yards, then you need to adjust by about 38.2 moa. If you ASSUME 1 moa = 10 inches at 1000 yards, and end up...

    WOW @ Savage....coming to bat big time!

    Re: WOW @ Savage....coming to bat big time! There's no real reason to go with or without flutes. It cuts weight by a few ounces, some claim it helps with cooling and rigidity. My opinion is it's personal preference. Get what you want!
