    Sidearms & Scatterguns What knife would you recommend

    Re: What knife would you recommend I own a plethora of knives. Many different sizes and price ranges. But the one I put in my back pocket every morning is my spiderco delica 4. I really like it for everyday carry. Slim, fast one handed deployment, light weight. Oddly, it's my only spiderco...

    Why don't you guys like Savage? Serious question.

    Re: Why don't you guys like Savage? Serious question. I've not owned a ton of rifles and certainly can't afford to have a custom. My 10fple in .223 consistently shoots under .5 at 100 and when I'm really on my game a couple of sub 1" at 300 yards typically it's around 2"+\-. It does this with...

    Re: urban sniper vs. urban counter sniper So does counter sniper make an urban counter sniper scope? I can't find it on their site. If they don't, they should.

    Cutting down the barrel ?.

    Re: Cutting down the barrel ?. I appreciate all the input. I'm going to keep her the way she is. Just change optics to a lighter flavor. I never use it past 14x anyways. I see to much of my flaws when not using a rear bag. I'll just put her away for now and hope that my build will shoot as good.

    Question for you Grooved receiver guys.

    Are you guys using a an adapter to use weaver or picatinny rings? If so any recommendations as to which one to buy. Possibly one that mounts as low as possible? Or do you guys just use the grooved receiver rings? And if so any recommendations for these? Wanting to put a 30mm tube optic on my...

    Cutting down the barrel ?.

    Re: Cutting down the barrel ?. This has been an ongoing battle in my head because it does shoot so well. I'm not a great shooter but I've spent enough time with this rifle that ive bonded with it. But I don't take her out because she is heavier than my ar. But my ar gives way to the accuracy...

    Cutting down the barrel ?.

    Re: Cutting down the barrel ?. This is a heavy or bull barrel and its got the cheapo factory stock on it at the moment. Going to change optics to a lighter one. Also my optic sits in leupold pws rings, which are pretty stout, and leupold bases. Is there lighter options there, or maybe I could...

    Cutting down the barrel ?.

    Re: Cutting down the barrel ?. If I can get the same or close to the same accuracy out of a lighter package. I know poi will shift due to velocity. Not hard to make new dope. But is it typical for accuracy to drop off after doing something like this. Or am I gtg and worrying about nothing...

    Cutting down the barrel ?.

    Re: Cutting down the barrel ?. I was hoping to lose about a 1lb. Is my math wrong. About 3.5 lbs starting weight. 3.5-20% (cutting it back)=2.8 then 2.8-10% (fluting)=2.52. Or does fluting not do that much. Just started toying with the idea. Maybe just buy a different barrel with a slimmer...

    Cutting down the barrel ?.

    I have a savage 10fple in .223. Its the 20" version with accutrigger but without the accustock. I've finally honed my skills enough with the rifle to shoot sub moa out to 300 yards. But it's heavy. It does this with almost all factory ammo I put through it. I want to cut the barrel back to 16"...

    .308 Target Rifle

    Re: .308 Target Rifle Out of the box my savage 10fple is a better shooter than my 700 Sps tact. It is sub moa with more types of factory ammo along with being more accurate with like ammo between the 2 rifles. Both of them are 20" versions and both stocks are equally terrible in one way or...

    Savage 10 fple .223 newb ?

    Re: Savage 10 fple .223 newb ? I would love to get some distance in front of me. Unfortunately, I'm lucky to get to the range more than once a month. It's only a 100 yard max distance. If anybody in the dfw/n. Tx area has some land and wouldn't mind me out there, that would be great. I'm very...

    Savage 10 fple .223 newb ?

    Rifle is all factory. I've finally found a factory load that the rifle likes (40 gr vmax of the fiocchi brand). Most factory ammo shoots an inch or less @ 100 yards but the fiocchi consistently prints .4"-.5". My glass is the midway special BSA 6-24x44 30mm in leupold prw rings. The optic is...

    Rifle Scopes ? about my millet dms

    are the turrets usually so mushy? i can't feel the clicks or hear any audible sound while turning them. is this something i should send back? it holds zero on my 10/22 but man its hard to make any adjustments to go from a 25yd zero to make quality shots at 100yds. there is no intent to bad...
