    F T/R Competition Stock question for FTR

    Does the wider forend and longer forend on the BR and FClass Savage stock add any benefit over the FTR stock?

    F T/R Competition Bipod jump

    Have been trying to reduce the amount of hop my bipod has. I have a Savage 12 FTR 308 win and a duplin bipod. Also use a Protektor DR bag with mid ears(cordura). Have tried straight behind rifle and also slightly canted on the left side. Still the reticle moves left about 1/2-1 target over after...

    Nope sure haven't but guarantee it isn't the shooter. Me and 2 other shooters tried shooting and got same results. Even off a rock solid bench rest. And seeing how I can shoot their rifles sub 0.3" 5 shot groups too.

    F T/R Competition Sierra 2156 and 8208 load

    What are y'all seeing the best results with this bullet and powder? I know it isn't Varget but it is all I could find(well I found CFE223 also). Been looking around on the threads and majority of info I can find is with Varget or Berger 155 bullets Going to make a 600/1000 yard load for FTR.

    F T/R Competition Savage F/TR - Pet load?

    I noticed on my pillars in the FTR, the front two pillars have contact marks. And the rear pillar has none. I am not an expert but shouldn't they all have contact marks. This may lie some of my "issues". The contact marks are shiny spots of equal size and shape on opposite side of the pillar.

    how has this initial seating depth reference from Berger worked so far?

    F T/R Competition Savage FTR 308 win

    I would do seating depth test now to dial in the load. In 003 increments. Will apprise you what that will do for a load. How far off lands did you start off with?

    F T/R Competition Savage FTR 308 win

    I would keep going up in charge weights. Those bullets if shot at 1000 need to be moving above 2950 most likely I just scored 16# of 8208 so now the real load work can begin Seems most are 45-45.5 with this load

    hoping to get to the range Tuesday(weather permitting) and try the Berger 155 hybrid using 8208 and jumping them 15 thous. The Berger 155 BT using Varget showed some promise

    Hornady bullet comparator to ogive. Measure each round. Weighing powder to the single kernel on GP 250 scale. FL size every time and bump shoulder 1-2 thous and running 1.5 thous bullet pull.

    F T/R Competition Savage FTR 308 win

    had some old 155BT Berger given to me to try. Hoping the rifle shows it will like these lite bullets. If not then something major needs to happen. Gun shoots well one day and very next looks like a shotgun. No consistency. Either new powder or bullets or both or bedding or new barrel is next

    F T/R Competition Savage F/TR - Pet load?

    do any of you mess with action screw torque settings on these factory rifles?
  16. S

    F T/R Competition Savage FTR 308 win

    Thanks. That seems to be a popular bullet and assume pushing them over 2950 fps in the majority of rifles with 30+" barrels

    have you played with action screw torque setting yet?

    F T/R Competition Savage FTR 308 win

    Not wanting load data, but was wanting to see what bullets you have had best loads with in this factory rifle Please share what bullet you use in this rifle. Pics of best group would be fun too I have tried Berger 168 and Sierra 175 with nothing solid/repeatable yet

    F T/R Competition thoughts needed

    F T/R Competition thoughts needed

    yes I know I have been shooting off my Duplin bipod. This was asked because was thinking about getting switch barrel to shoot Fclass. But was not sure if this was a good idea or not with this stock and bag rider And I'm sure other's will disagree, but think of the good FTR shooters scores and...
