    Taking the plunge and need advise

    Re: Taking the plunge and need advise I was looking at the Osprey brand scopes. They are listed on opticsplanet and I know a guy that has one on a .300 winmag and it holds up great. They are fairly cheap and I'm on a tight budget but can save up for a little while and be ok. But I am in the...

    McMillian A4 vs HS Precision

    I have a savage 10 FCP in .308 and Im not sure which stock to put on it. Just looking for a little insight from anyone who has used both. Any advise? Im 6'3" so I will need a decent LOP, having an adjustable cheak piece is an alright plus. But just putting an Eagle sotck pack is fine with me...

    Taking the plunge and need advise

    So today I picked up a savage mark II, and I'm about to order the Boyd's tacticool stock for it. I know I need to buy the new bottom metal for the stock to work, is that it? Also Boyds offers the DIy bedding kit, how difficult is that to do? I have never bedded an action before, is it worth...

    Suppressors Sharing a .30 cal can? Can anyone help?

    Re: Sharing a .30 cal can? Can anyone help? That sounds pretty close to acceptable for what I'd use it for. The main purpose of this suppressor would be for my savage. But I didn't know if I could get away with using it on my ak the way most people use the 5.56 cans on AR's. Shoot 150-250...

    Suppressors Sharing a .30 cal can? Can anyone help?

    I've been pinching pennies for my first suppressor. I have friends with them and know all the legality issues, but I'm looking for some real world advise. Can I share a .30 cal suppressor between my savage fcp-10 .308 and my arsenal sgl-21 ak chambered in 7.62x39? I know all the bullet...

    Need help with a 10/22 stock question

    I'm looking for a stock with a fairly long LOP for my 10/22. I currently have the houge over old stock on and it's a bit short for me to shoot comfortably. I'm 6'3" and it's a pain to shoot the thing since I'm bunched up in a ball. No please before the bad mouthing begins, I'm not a big tapco...

    10/22 target or tactical stock

    Re: 10/22 target or tactical stock Thanks for all the links, but everytime I read a review on any stock it's the same thing. "My stock looks great haven't shot it though", or else says that it's more comfortable to shoot with. I'm looking to use this basically as a trainer rifle, and possibly...

    10/22 target or tactical stock

    I'm looking for a new stock for my 10/22. Right now I have the Houge rubberized on it, but it's to short on the length of pull. I'm looking for a target or tactical style stock that will also help be more accurate. I have a McMillian A4 on my .308, and would like something similar, possibly a...

    Shooting sticks vs. Tripod

    Re: Shooting sticks vs. Tripod Some of the shooting sticks I have looked at are basically a giant bipod thats not attached to the rifle. But Im really leaning on the tripod. Id be using it for matches mostly, and it is by far more stable then the sticks. Im mostly trying to see if its worth...

    Shooting sticks vs. Tripod

    I have been looking into both, but dont really know enough to decide yet. Anyone have any real life experience with either or both? Any help would be great, I just feel kinda lost with it. Normally Id just throw down the cash and try for myself, but anything worth trying is pricy.

    Savage 10FP .308 stock options

    Re: Savage 10FP .308 stock options I sent Jeff an email earlier about working on my stock. Any reason the AICS mags are so great? Ive handled them but never shot with one before. For $80 a piece they better be badass, just didnt know if there was something special about them. Thanks for the...

    Savage 10FP .308 stock options

    Re: Savage 10FP .308 stock options Im in the same boat here! Right now my savage is sitting in a McMillan A4, but Im looking for a system that allows a DBM. Right now I have to single load the rounds to fill the internal mag, and that makes difficult for a match. If anyone can recommend a...
