    New guy, new rifle.

    You really think he's going to need to have 20 moa + 130ish of travel?

    New guy, new rifle.

    Why would you really need a 20 MOA base when using a SWFA SS? It dials up so far you really wouldn't need it... I could see maybe a magnum of sometype but not a 308

    Savage 12 LRP in .260

    Got it tonight from the Smith, the Harrel brake works well, the 4 ports are actually almost at a 35-45 degree angle instead of straight sided tactical, no ports on top but with the way it's set up all 8 ports do both sides and top, kick with it is less than my non brake'd .223 axis...

    Savage 12 LRP in .260

    Alright a small update, either today or tomorrow I should be getting everything back from the gunsmith, Harrel 4 port brake on it, on wait right now for my SS 16x in the mail, but I already have the base and will do pressure tests... loading with varget, superperformance, and 4831SC... seeing...

    Savage 10 Ba Rifles

    Experience with the 10BA(.308) only. The brakes work as intended on them, it cuts down the recoil to about a .223... Pistol grip works well, the adjusters for the stock...they're comfortable except dialing them it can be a pain. After you put the scope/bipod on there... very heavy rifle, and...

    Savage 12 LRP in .260

    basically I'll be at rayner's only, TVP is almost twice the drive compared, I just basically have bad eyes, color blind Red/Green ect. when I deal with green or red in the distance, I see them in groups rather than by themselves... so the small red/orange steel at rayners I'll see as green...

    Maggie’s Socially UNacceptable Humor

    I have to say sorry if this pushes any of the wrong buttons, but read through this topic and haven't seen this joke yet so had to share. What's the worst part about being a black jew? Sitting in the back of the oven.

    why can't I find a Tan SCAR 17!!!

    I know a month ago I saw one NIB with 6 mags here in Ohio for $1600, if I had the extra money I def would have grabbed it

    Moses on a moped: ROUGH Bore!

    well with him saying that he's only put 150 rounds down with it... I hope the barrel can hold up to 5 or so cleanings. I mean the 3 things with these problems that I would think of is 1, scope/mounts problem... 2. The bullets he were using either need a faster twist or their center mass aren't...

    Moses on a moped: ROUGH Bore!

    Thor on a trolley! It's a bummer that it's that rough, I was thinking about getting a MVP for my 223 mess around, hope everything smooths out. You said you used new plinking bullets, have you used them before and tried them in another .223?

    Savage 12 LRP in .260

    Alright, thanks for the heads up about it, I know I just can't deal with a fixed 10/12/16 with this build for what I want, I'd rather just save my money than get those, if the 1000 yard targets were bigger, I could deal with it, but alright thanks.

    Savage 12 LRP in .260

    Why exactly does the 20x blow? I mean some people don't like too much magnification and all... like just wondering what's so much better with the 16 over the 20, is it the mirage, is it clarity, eye relief or what? But basically after the rifle, 1000 lapua 123's, 200 cases, and such i'm looking...

    Savage 12 LRP in .260

    Thanks for the load recommendations, I've tried to post another message on here but it keeps telling me to wait for a moderator to approve, so don't know what's going on there... basically i'll be shooting paper at 150 yards, then steel from 300-1000 including as small at 5x4" steel at 990, so...

    Savage 12 LRP in .260

    Thanks for the replies basically I'll be on paper @ 150yd, and steel from 300-1000 including 5" steel at 1000, which I struggled with my bushnell 4-12x to see it, so that's why I'm thinking 20. Does anyone know how high the 20x will travel? I've heard 130moa on the 10x, but nothing about the 20x

    Savage 12 LRP in .260

    haha, thanks guys for the insight, basically I'll be shooting paper @ 150, and steel from anywhere from 300-1000, including 5" steel at 1000... so that's why I was thinking towards the 20x, because with the scope I have on my 308 it's a 4-12x bushnell and I was struggling with seeing the...

    Savage 12 LRP in .260

    So which would you guys recommend out of these two... Vortex Viper 6.5-20x42 or the SWFA SS 20x42 Mrad.... I heard the SS can dial up quite a bit extra? I'm fine with a 20x fixed power over a 10 or ect

    Savage 12 LRP in .260

    I've heard about the timing/lift kit... does it help quite a bit? So I've narrowed my choices for scopes down to two The previously mentioned Vortex Viper Vortex Optics - Viper 6.5-20x44 PA Dead-Hold BDC and now if I were to go fixed SWFA SS 20x42 Tactical Riflescope I've heard good...

    Savage 12 LRP in .260

    Yeah, my only experience with a savage is my .223 edge/axis, haven't shot the 12 yet because I've been having to deal with fedex with my reload components. So far from what I was able to tell before it went to the gunsmith, I liked the mag release system it doesn't feel cheap at all anywhere...
