    Hunting & Fishing Southern VA 'yote

    Re: Southern VA 'yote Yep, there were 9 spotted last week where I killed this one in Buffalo Junction. They've been harassing the farmer's cows regularly... Got a bunch over around the Nelson area as well. They were talking about doing away with the bounty on them here in Mecklenburg county...

    Hunting & Fishing Southern VA 'yote

    Finally got to pop the cherry on my AI AE this evening. Called this one up about 18:30 this evening and put a 168 BTHP through her boiler room... only 75 yards on the move but hey, it's $75 bounty money for my pocket! Oh and the 168 gr match bullet worked very well LOL!

    As if, More video of the Gladius @ 800 & 1000 yds

    Re: As if, More video of the Gladius @ 800 & 1000 yds Excellent video Lowlight! Michael N, I fired some of the factory 155 Scenars last week out of my 18" AI AE Mk1 with SAS can on it. Averaged 2703 fps for a 10 round string, however I'm at 353' above sea level and had 90 degree heat & 83%...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 4x16 Single turn-20MOA Base?

    Re: S&B 4x16 Single turn-20MOA Base? +1, the 4-16 single turn has 13 mils of elevation total. I'm running an AI 18 MOA base and still have enough elevation left (11.5 mils) to get to 1000 with a 308 so you should be fine.

    .375 Chey Tac Powder Options

    Re: .375 Chey Tac Powder Options How about US-869? I never got around to trying it in my old standard 375 CT, but I know steve123 on here ran some of it for a while. You might PM him and see what he has to say.

    (pic's added below) 260 AI velocity ?

    Re: 260 AI velocity ? I found the same thing with mine, it loved Varget even though it wasn't quite as fast as the H4831SC & IMR 4350. Figured I'd just be happy with it being a little slower but extremely accurate, plus it was probably a little easier on the barrel as well. Good luck and hope...

    Re: starting loads dimensions for 375 Chey tac Bill, I was getting 3240-3250 from the same load combination except I was using a 139 gr charge of Retumbo, out of that rifle. I had the chrono 15 feet from the muzzle though. PM sent.

    Gunsmithing Savage conversion question

    Re: Savage conversion question Whoa dude, if you like the rifle, by all means keep it! It's no doubt a hell of a shooter and an excellent bench gun. I just threw that out there thinking of what could be a better option for you instead of cutting that rifle & trying to make it a mag fed gun...

    Gunsmithing Savage conversion question

    Re: Savage conversion question Yes, the barrel, appropriate barrel nut and action wrenches & barrel vise, and a headspace "GO" gauge like tuckb said. If you're dead set you want a 260 repeater, I'd say buy a used 10FP or similar and rebarrel/build that up like you want for a tactical/hunting...

    Gunsmithing Savage conversion question

    Re: Savage conversion question Yep that's a Precision Target Action if it's got 3 pillars/action screws & 1 rear triggerguard screw. She's a large shank barrel. Shilen stainless select match, 1 in 8 twist, large shank, 260 barrel in the straight 1" Bull contour up to 28" finished length IIRC...

    (pic's added below) 260 AI velocity ?

    Re: 260 AI velocity ? I was getting right around 2900-2925 (depending on weather conditions) out of my old 260 AI with a 26" Shilen 1 in 8 twist, but I was running 38.7 gr Varget and 139 Scenars or 140 Berger VLD's & formed 243 Lapua brass. I've seen 3070 out of it trying IMR4350 but wasn't...

    Gunsmithing Savage conversion question

    Re: Savage conversion question IIRC, the F-Class uses the Precision Target action (looks like the rounded, more enclosed ejection port & target accutrigger on the rifle in the pic above), which would use a large shank barrel. I do agree with Triggerhappy & tuckb on the Shilen Select Match...
