    Can a Savage 10 be converted to left hand?

    Re: Can a Savage 10 be converted to left hand? I have a 10 precision carbine. Savage sells target actions that are right handed but load/eject on the left, I thought it would be a nice option to have the opposite. I've always shot right handed rifles lefty and I like having the port on the...

    Can a Savage 10 be converted to left hand?

    Re: Can a Savage 10 be converted to left hand? So this is definitely not a job for an amateur like me. Good to know it's possible, though. Thank you. l'm always amazed at the combined amount of knowledge on this forum.

    Can a Savage 10 be converted to left hand?

    My Google-fu has failed me on this one. Can a Savage 10 be converted to a left bolt - right port configuration by switching the bolt handle and modifying the stock? I heard the Savage 10/110 action was designed to be used with either a left or right handed bolt handle but I haven't managed to...

    My Rifle - Whats wrong with my groups? (Pics)

    Re: My Rifle - UPDATED 12-11-10 (Pics) I would just go ahead and get a torque wrench, it will pay for itself in the future even if it isn't the solution to this particular issue. I picked up the Wheeler and discovered a lot of action screws among my rifles that had gotten loosened up over...

    My Rifle - Whats wrong with my groups? (Pics)

    Re: My Rifle - Whats wrong with my groups? (Pics) Did you try moving your head around to check if the parallax on the scope actually matches up to the distance marked on the turret? Aside from that I would say ammo is probably the biggest factor I have encountered in my limited experience. So...

    Issues with my Savage 10FP

    Re: Issues with my Savage 10FP I managed to duplicate this with my 10PC with a so-far untouched trigger. I had to beat the heck out of the bolt to get it to lock the trigger and even then I could only get it to happen a couple of times. I could never foresee ever doing that to a gun under any...

    Re: Video showing flex in rifle and components slo-mo The PSL is particularly impressive. Looks like a half cooked spaghetti. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozyw84Swmb4&feature=related

    Lost my accuracy

    Re: Lost my accuracy I'm kind of new to precision rifles and I hadn't heard that bore snakes are bad for a barrel. I've been giving my Savage PC one pass with a snake and then a patch of oil after shooting. I'm used to religiously cleaning the hell out of my mosin-nagant's barrel after...

    Threaded barrels in NY state?

    Re: Threaded barrels in NY state? Went to one of the local stores today to arrange the FFL transfer and was told that no gun store in NY would transfer this gun for me... I told the clerk I did lots of research and assured him it's good to go. I think the clerk was under the impression that...

    Threaded barrels in NY state?

    Re: Threaded barrels in NY state? I just got back from Herb Philipsons (kind of a big sporting goods / surplus store) and they had Century AR-15s with what looked exactly like A2 flash hiders. Are these things grandfathered in somehow because the rifles are refurbished? These laws seem...

    Threaded barrels in NY state?

    I just bought a Savage 10 Precision Carbine with 5R rifling online but I just noticed it has a threaded barrel. I live in NY. Is anyone aware of any legal issues with threaded barrels on a bolt action in NY? I know that this is a no-go on semi-autos but I'm not sure if any of the AWB rules have...
