    Hunting & Fishing picatinny style offest light mount for night time

    Re: picatinny style offest light mount for night time didn't think of that, and yes it's a bolt gun. i just thought of mounting it on the rail by the scope so i can just add it when needed which probbaly won't be that often, but i might try mounting a rail to the stock

    Re: savage model 11 243, possible ground up build that's what i'm thinking. at first i was set on the model 10 but after a little more digging, i think the model 11 will better suit me, especially since everything seems to be the same except the scope and stock. so when it's all done that...

    Re: Savage model 10 at the pawn shop, good deal? honestly, probably going to keep as is for while, i probably won't change anything untill i shoot the barrel out, which for me would probably be about 3 years maybe, based on 1500 at 50 rounds a month give or take (i know there are lots of...

    another mosin 91/30 range trip,

    Re: another mosin 91/30 range trip, i'll give the washer thing a try and see how that feels, as far as the trigger, it almost feels like i'm pulling it most of the way back before it breaks, it doesn't really feel gritty, more tough or hard to pull, thanks for the offer on the barrel band...
