    308 Question ?

    First let me say that I am not a reloader, so to some this may be a simple question. I have a Savage 10 that I had cut to 16.5". It has 1 in 10 twist. Shots will limited to not more than 300 yards. I was looking at a round in the 125-130 grain range for coyotes and groundhogs and in the 150-165...

    Rifle Opinions?

    Re: Rifle Opinions? Update Got my rifle back from the gunsmith today. It is only a little over 37" long overall. He was unable to remount the front sight, which is OK. Put on the Millett DMS, used Weaver bases and a set of Warne rings I already had. Seems to be what I was looking for. I am...

    Rifle Opinions?

    Re: Rifle Opinions? I am not able to walk very far anymore. Had spinal fusion 5 years ago. Still like to get in the woods. Maybe I was misunderstood. I only use the ATV to get to the general area. Then I park it and cover it up.

    Suppressors Getting out the hacksaw

    Re: Getting out the hacksaw Been thinking about the same myself. Are you going to do this yourself or have a gunsmith do it? I can cut mine myself but I am wondering about recrowning it. Any ideas? Keep us posted. Thanks

    Suppressors Good Carry Piece?

    Re: Good Carry Piece? I'm 6"3 about 250 and wear size 15 ring so I know what you mean about handsize. I have 3 Sigs 220,226 and 229. I love my Sigs but now I mostly carry a Kahr CW9 in a Bianci holster. It took a little getting used to a smaller gun but I find I am a lot more apt to carry all...

    Rifle Scopes flip up iron sight recommendations

    Re: flip up iron sight recommendations I picked up a new Matech from some guy on AR15.com for 50.00 shipped, still in the package, unopened. Seems like a pretty good sight and cowitnesses well with my Eotec 512. At least I'm happy with it.

    16.5" 308

    Re: 16.5" 308 Thanks guys. Bowkill, nice stick. Kinda gives me a better idea of what mine will look like. Mine is a standard weight barrel, but for what I'm looking for I think it will be OK.

    16.5" 308

    This may be a better question for the gunsmith forum, but here goes anyway. I have a Savage 10 308 with a 22" barrel that I would like to have cutback to 16-18 inches. I looked at a Ruger Fronteir with a 16.5" barrel. I liked the way it felt and handled and thought that it would be good for...
