    Outfitting a Savage 110 FP

    I don't think I've seen anyone ask this question. How does it shoot as is? Are you trying to correct something ? I have a box stock Savage 110 in 308 that shoots into one hole with my handloads. Nothing I could do would make it shoot any better, so I spent that money to get other rifles to shoot...

    8208XBR .308 AR10 Load Advice

    I finally found time to get out and test some 8208XBR loads in my Larue big block. I loaded 5 rounds each of 42, 42.5, 43, 43.5, 44, 44.2, 44.4, 44.6 grains under a Hornady 150 gr. Interlock seated to cannelure. I shot them at 100 yards with my Larue 7.62x51 with 18" barrel and SiCo Omega...

    Reloading .308 Eld-x

    I have not tried the 178 ELD-X but shoot the 178 AMAX which I think is similar, could be wrong. My 20" 1/10 factory Rem 700 barrel loves that bullet with 44gr. of Varget. Velocity is 2504 and it's sub MOA out to 800, which is the furthest I've tested it. Good luck working up your load. ETA: I...

    Recommend Me a Drop In Rem. 700 Trigger.

    Well, I bought a TT Primary and adjusted it down to 2.5 Lbs. I think it comes out of the box at about 3.5 lbs. I have to say it doesn't feel worlds better than the stock trigger I had. I am going to give it a go but not sure I will be happy with it long term. Maybe I should have gone with the...

    Rifle Scopes Crimson Trace Optics

    I just bought a 3 series 4-20 to try. At $449 for a Jap made scope I had to try it. The reticle looks straaaaange but the reviews on it have been positive. For that price if I don't like it I'll flip it.

    Recommend Me a Drop In Rem. 700 Trigger.

    I am looking for a decent drop in trigger for my R700 short action in .308. Not shooting benchrest, mainly shooting steel at long range so don't need a trigger in ounces. What do you recommend?

    What caliber...

    I have two Tikka T3X CTR's. One in .308 and one in 6.5CM. They both shoot wonderfully. For your first rifle I recommend going with the .308. As a new shooter you will want to spend a lot of time at the range developing your skills and .308 ammo can be found everywhere and there are way more ammo...

    Which .308 MBR?

    I have done a bunch of reading on this subject and am still on the fence regarding what to buy. I am hoping you experts can help me make a decision. I have searched on this subject, but found many older threads. I am asking the question again in case anything has changed on the equipment front...

    Photos First Camo Job

    Here is my Stevens 200 in 7-08. I stiffened the forearm by removing some plastic, running hollow stainless steel tubes inside and covering with JB Weld. I then sanded out the forearm to make sure the barrel was free floated. I then addded a 1 lb. lead weight that was shaped for the stock into...

    ladder test, strange results?

    Re: ladder test, strange results? Sandbags on the rifle? Where exactly? Don't put any pressure on the barrel as that will cause all sorts of issues. Are you shooting from a bi-pod because that is how you intend to shoot the gun? Otherwise I have always gotten my best groups by shooting off a...

    One Powder for .243AI and 107gr. MK?

    Re: One Powder for .243AI and 107gr. MK? Thanks for the replies guys. Anyone use the Really slow powders like Retumbo, R25, etc?

    One Powder for .243AI and 107gr. MK?

    I understand every rifle is different and powder that is best in one may not work worth a dern in another. However, having said that, if you were to recommend one powder to start building loads for a .243AI - 1/8 twist 26" Shilen - 107Gr. Sierra Match King, which would you recommend?
