    Horizontal Stringing

    Re: Horizontal Stringing Good advice--not so sure I can wait the 2-3 minutes between shots, I'm used to popping rounds off every 2-3 seconds with the .22! LOL, patience Grasshopper. Thanks for the advice everyone. Next time bags and less sucking so much...

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST 4-16x50 or 6-24x50? Help!

    Re: Viper PST 4-16x50 or 6-24x50? Help! I just spent the entire time at the range at 24x. I don't regret one second the decision to go with the 6-24x. I've also practiced finding targets quickly at 6x for quick deer shots, if there are ever any, at home. That's the only concern I have.

    Horizontal Stringing

    So I've been shooting my .22 in my back yard for more than a year now, which I've gotten okay at in multiple positions, so I decided it was time to graduate to a bigger rifle. I recently got a Savage Bear Hunter in 300 WM, and took it out to the range (I won't shoot the 300 in my back yard, the...

    Savage LRH on the WAY

    Re: Savage LRH on the WAY Well, I'm $750 poorer. I was shooting my .22 this morning, and decided I "just couldn't live without" (quotes again) a Vortex PST on both rifles. So I just ordered a Vortex PST 6-24x50, but this time with SFP reticle. Saved $150 (heh) over the FFP, and frankly...

    Lost accuracy

    Re: Lost accuracy Did it lose it suddenly, like one day it was shooting MOA, next it was shotgunning? Did you not shoot it for a long time, or was this just a recent change? Are you ABSOLUTELY sure you changed NOTHING? I probably will not be able to help you, but make sure you give a...

    Savage LRH on the WAY

    Re: Savage LRH on the WAY My problem is I'm worried about throwing money away on scopes that don't live up to my "needs". (I should put heavier quotes around the "needs".) I "need" good turrets, a good reticle, lotsa zoom--everything the Vortex PST 6-24 is satifying right now. The whole...

    Savage LRH on the WAY

    Re: Savage LRH on the WAY I'll answer my own question...I'm just going to share the scope for now. I will probably just get a Picatinny rail for both the .22 and 300, write the zero settings for each and compensate. Hopefully it won't be too much of a bother. Not $900 worth, anyway. That...

    Savage LRH on the WAY

    Re: Savage LRH on the WAY I agree the Vortex PST is too much for the .22, I actually ordered it for the LRH when I was building for it, and never let my wife know how much it cost (shhh). After the LRH deal fell through, I put the scope on my .22 and have been GROSSLY spoiled by it. I can't...

    Savage LRH on the WAY

    I've been looking at the Savage LRH in 300 WM for a few months now, had myself set to buy when my wife talked me out of it. I set myself to wait for another year, when she turned around and ordered it for my Father's Day/birthday/prob next Christmas... WOOHOO! Now to scope it, hmmm...I put...

    Rifle Scopes 20 MOA base, rings for Savage LRH

    I've ordered my first high power rifle, a Savage LRH 300 WM, and Vortex PST 6-24x50 for good measure after some research, but I haven't done much research for a base and rings for the scope. Do you guys have a good recommendation for what brand to get for the base and rings? I see in a sticky...

    22 trace through scope?

    Re: 22 trace through scope? Last night was perfect for this. Sun at my back, shooting subsonics, I saw every round sail into the target. It helped I was at 24x. I think it's more fun when I can see the rounds go in.

    savage 110 ba 338 lapua countersniper 4x48x56

    Re: savage 110 ba 338 lapua countersniper 4x48x56 I don't need a 338 Lapua to get a mile. My 22 can reach 1.5 miles; it says so right on the ammo box.

    savage MKII + 93G range report and questions.

    Re: savage MKII + 93G range report and questions. Is the barrel free-floated? Sounds like more stock pressure on the right side, causing the shift as the barrel heats and swells.
