    Savage 10 BAS-K

    Re: Savage 10 BAS-K I've handled one at a gun store, but haven't had any trigger time on them. It's impressive to look at, but for practical purposes they seem overly bulky and heavy. The long scope mounting rail requires the use of high rings also, putting the scope pretty far above the...

    what is the ultimate long range cartridge

    Re: what is the ultimate long range cartridge 700 to 1000 is pretty conservative for some <span style="font-weight: bold">systems</span> currently available. The 408 CheyTac and 416 Barrett are both capable of hits on man size targets at ranges of 2500 meters or more. The key word here is...

    Is an AR-10 A4 bought in 1997 legal in California

    Re: Is an AR-10 A4 bought in 1997 legal in California DROS paperwork does not constitute registration, so unless you also registered it with the DOJ in California prior to the ban, it will not be legal to own in CA. In order to keep it in the state, you will need to replace the lower...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 3200 10X Mil Dot Real World Elevation?

    Re: Bushnell 3200 10X Mil Dot Real World Elevation? Looks like the average from this small sampling is around 80 MOA, give or take a few. Not bad for a 1" tube for sure, even most 30mm scopes don't have that much. It is disappointing though that Bushnell specs these as having 20 MOA...

    A Look @ Choate New Tactical Stock - Rem 700 Tact

    Re: New Choate Tactical Stock & The Rem SPS 700 Tact Excellent review Max. I've been eyeballing these for some time now, unfortunately I don't have a rifle that will fit any models they currently make. Looks like I may have to go out and get a Remington short action.... I have their...

    My new Savage

    Re: My new Savage For budget ammo, the Prvi Partizan Match is some decent stuff. They make 69 and 75 grain Match rounds for .223. the 69's would probably be a little better suited to your application since you have a 1-9" twist barrel. They're no Federal Gold Medal Match, but they should...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 3200 10X Mil Dot Real World Elevation?

    I have two of the Bushnell 10X Mil Dot scopes, and out of curiosity I decided to check how much internal elevation travel the reticles actually have. They are advertised as having 100 MOA of travel, quite a bit for a 1" tube scope. Testing my own, one has only 72 MOA, and the other has 80...

    Rifle Scopes Best optics for $300 or less

    Re: Best optics for $300 or less Bushnell 3200 10X mil dot is a great little scope. Excellent tracking and lots of internal travel. If it had side focus and etched glass reticle it would be just about perfect. I've noticed a tendancy for the wire reticle in them to flare out and become...

    Starting point - Powder Charge for TAC

    Re: Starting point - Powder Charge for TAC I don't have any experience with the 155's and TAC, but I have pushed a bunch with 175 Nosler Custom Comp bullets with it. The Nosler is very similar to the SMK. Side by side it's hard to distinguish a difference. I started out my loads at 39...

    Rifle Scopes interm scope

    Re: interm scope Not to kick dirt at the Super Sniper, but IMHO the Bushnell Elite 3200 10X Mil Dot is at least on par if not better for less money. Out of the two you listed though, I'd go with the LRS-1. You can get it with Mil/Mil adjustments with a ton of internal elevation (140+ MOA)...

    cz h.e.t. .338

    Re: cz h.e.t. .338 Handled one at the local gun store, but haven't shot one. Fit and finish is very good, and the trigger pull is amazing. They come stock with the Surefire muzzle brake/adapter, so suppressing them should be no problem. It seems like a viable cantidate for getting into...

    Rifle Scopes Honest scope base opinions

    Re: Honest scope base opinions +1 for the Farrell bases. For a little more you can get the upgraded "FG-Force" of his mounts that have an adjustable recoil set screw. My only complaint with Farrell mounts is that they are pretty high. On most rifles they will clear a 56mm objective even...

    Rifle Scopes SA 4x14x56...any good?

    Re: SA 4x14x56...any good? Probably a good idea to pass it up for something better. I have one of the 1st gen models on my Savage 10FP. The BDC reticle is nice, and will get you pretty close with most 168 grain and heavier loads. The glass is complete crap though, not clear at all past 100...

    Suppressors Best Survival Knife

    Re: Best Survival Knife Schrade Extreme Survival SCHF3. I wouldn't rank it as absolute best, but it's at or near the top of the heap when budget is a concern. It's a very solid, no frills knife that definitely fits the "Tool" requirement. The sheath they come with is pretty decent as well...

    AR-10 mags in a 700?

    Re: AR-10 mags in a 700? The mag release would probably be an issue, as it releases from the side like an AR-15. The M-14 mag would be a better choice I think since the mag release would require less modification to the stock. M-14 mags can also be found significantly cheaper than AR-10...
