    Savage / Criterion prefits- and NSS- ???

    I ordered a Shilen two months ago but it is custom and will take a little longer. I wanted the 4 grove rachet rifling because the one I have now is so amazing. Jim is a great guy.

    Heat? Fouling? What caused my groups to open up?

    Now my barrel is plugged and filled to the top with Kroil oil and I will let it soak all night. I am going to run some patches thru it in the am and go to the range and do some "slow firing"Maybe I have over cleaned it?

    F T/R Competition Novice F-Class beginner idea

    There are a few 1/9 barrels that shot can shot a 69 smk good enough.I have a Colt Match H bar that came with a 20" 1/8 bull and it is a 1/2 ' gun[made in 1998 or 9.]A 20" .223 Wylde chamber will work. {longer is better}

    F T/R Competition Novice F-Class beginner idea

    I shoot a savage .223 in F-class.[it even shoots good at 1000Y]I put a shilen 1/8 wilde, 26 varmit barrel on it and converted it to single load. It shoots 77/80 well; I have done good shooting BH 77 reloads at some matchs.I would get a wilde barrel at least 20" min.

    I have used the Harris,Atlas and Centershot; now I use the Centershot all the time.I like to lightly load the bipod so I don't do it right but it works.The bipod moves right a little on recoil so I need to make a couple of changes.
