    Savage MKII or Marlin XT-22 as Trainer?

    Re: Savage MKII or Marlin XT-22 as Trainer? It's to be used for *informal* bench or prone shooting, as a trainer for my 308, which I fear won't get the amount of trigger time I need because of ammo cost. Either "off the bags" or with a bipod. If I keep the standard stock, the Savage also has...

    Savage MKII or Marlin XT-22 as Trainer?

    Re: Savage MKII or Marlin XT-22 as Trainer? Thank you for the thoughtful response !. As to stocks, I've been successful before in situations like this ( rather poor plastic stocks), to simply attach a cheek riser of some sort and find that it solves the biggest problem of this style stock...

    Savage MKII or Marlin XT-22 as Trainer?

    Would like some personal-experience feedback on these 2 guns I'm looking at as a trainer. Models under consideration are Savage MKIIFV, and Marlin XT-22VR. Both guns come with plastic stocks and heavy barrels. Bypass any stock issues...these will be dealt with. Let's focus on reliability...

    Bell&Carlson Fit-Up with Karsten Style Cheekpiece

    Re: Bell&Carlson Fit-Up with Karsten Style Cheekpiece No... the stock does *not* have a Monte-Carlo style stock ( sloping high comb like Weatherby stock). It is, however, a *straight comb* stock with a "left-side" cheek-piece bump-out. I don't think this is what most view as being...

    Bell&Carlson Fit-Up with Karsten Style Cheekpiece

    Re: Bell&Carlson Fit-Up with Karsten Style Cheekpiece Spoke to Karsten... he says its been done and is only a cosmetic flaw in that the left side bolt heads don't make full ( under-head) contact.... but still hold tight on the slanted surface of the left cheek-piece..... Does anyone have...

    Harris 9-13 or 6-9

    Re: Harris 9-13 or 6-9 If you buy too-tall....you can't go shorter. However, if you buy too low, you can always improvise somehow to go "high". Get the one with the notched legs that spring "out"...not the smooth leg one where the springs "suck-in". See here--->...

    Bell&Carlson Fit-Up with Karsten Style Cheekpiece

    Did anyone here come across a similar problem? I bought a Bell & Carlson Medalist stock for my rifle, thinking the buttstock was "flat" on both sides. Photos only show right side of stock. I even asked the seller(Midway),and also checked with B&C if this was true. They both confirmed there was...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 10x40 Elite 3200 Tactical vs Elite 10x

    Re: Bushnell 10x40 Elite 3200 Tactical vs Elite 10x Glad to help on the tip. Odd however...Midway web site shows the Mil/Mil at about $230....yet the mail flyer I got from them shows it at $199. Maybe give them a call. I can't believe I will net-out (after rebate) at $125 for this decent glass.

    Re: Muzzle Brake Options Ok...so it looks like the work needs to be done by a smith... As to the unit itself, I like Hide member Ross Schuler's ("RWS") design---> Good price and reviews too for less than $50, or so, depending upon model/features...

    Proper Devcon Mixing For those of you who have experience using Devcon 10110 steel/epoxy as a bedding compound.... does anyone have a good recommendation how to easily come up with the proper epoxy/hardener mix ? The instructions say mix using either one of these ratios---> 9:1 by weight ...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 3200 10X40 Mil/Mil on sale+rebate?.

    This scope is a good piece at its entry-level price point, although there are strong options if you inch-up on price (like $300, or so, for the SS 10X scope by SWFA, or maybe even the Weaver Grand Slam 3-10 with Mil-Dot at $300-$400, a Midway-exclusive, etc). However, everything has to be...

    Ranging / Ballistic pocket Calculators, which one?

    Re: Ranging / Ballistic pocket Calculators, which one? I'm somewhat new to this ( but not new to guns and shooting). That said, it seems to me that this device maybe complements the other two that I noted...by doing something yet different. It seems this device spits out MIl or MOA (or...
