    Savage Model 12

    Re: Savage Model 12 My Savage 12 LRP has the target action and the target accu trigger. I don't know if this is the case with all of the Model 12's or just the LRP. The target action has a solid top. The target accu trigger goes from 6 ounces to 1.5 lbs. The action on the 12 target series I...

    Remington M1917

    Re: Remington M1917 Just talked to the seller and he says that the magazine has been straightened, the bolts now cocks when you open it and it has a nice walnut stock on it. Priced at $260.00. So my question is could I do a barrel swap on this and re chamber it to a 6.5-06 or a 6.5-284...

    Remington M1917

    Re: Remington M1917 Okay so the one that I'm looking at has already been sporterized because it doesn't look anything like this. It has already had the stock replaced and a scope mounted on it. I am waiting for a phone call back from the seller to find out just exactly what has been done to...

    Remington M1917

    Re: Remington M1917 Thanks, I'm waiting for a reply from the seller to see if it is still available and get more pictures. Are there marking on these rifles that would show that they are actually authentic?

    Remington M1917

    Re: Remington M1917 So if I understand this right, the 1917 is a little longer action than the norm and a very strong action so way over kill for a 260. So since the 6.5-06 and the 7mm Mag are based on a long action, this would work? If it has not already been butchered, then don't screw up a...

    Re: Remington M1917 That's a very nice group. What exactly do they do to the M1917 when they sporterize it?

    Remington M1917

    Re: Remington M1917 What about the 6.5-284 or the 6.5-06? I really like the ballistics of the 6.5's and I am trying to keep the recoil down.

    Remington M1917

    Re: Remington M1917 Thank you for your reply, that's exactly what I wanted to know. Now to decide what caliber? I had thought of building a 260 on a long action platform but I don't know if it's possible. I'm also looking at a 7mm mag. The reason I was toying with the long action 260 was to...

    Remington M1917

    I'm looking at purchasing a Remington M1917. Would the Rem M1917 make a good donor rifle? Are these good solid actions? Is it worth $250.00 dollars?

    Looking for advise for a 260 Long Action Build

    Re: Rem 260 Long Action Build I actually just need the money from the sale of the LRP for christmas and bills. I just figured that I would start from scratch next year when funds are not so tight. The only reason that I am looking at using the long action for this is to be able to seat my...

    Looking for advise for a 260 Long Action Build

    Re: Rem 260 Long Action Build I have come across a Custom Mauser in a 264 rem mag for $450.00, are these good rifles and actions? I have also come across a custom 30 06 enfield for $260.00. I will eventually convert which ever rifle I get into a long action 260. Is there any benefit to...

    Decisions, Rem 700p or Savage M12 LRP

    Re: Decisions, Rem 700p or Savage M12 LRP Hey oosickness, I honestly did not take this as a Rem. vs Savage post and it's to bad that others take it that way. I bought the Savage 12 LRP 260 earlier this year and I love the fit and finish of this rifle not to mention the accuracy right out of...

    Which 6.5 with a 20"-22" Barrel??

    Re: Which 6.5 with a 20"-22" Barrel?? Thank you for the load data for you 260. I was thinking of trying the 130 vld's next. The 140 vld's seem to shoot well out of my rifle. I am still in the learning stage with my 260 so every little bit helps.
