    7mm Rem Mag

    Re: 7mm Rem Mag I don't have a problem rebarreling the rifle to get the needed twist for the 180's, but will the 7mm Rem Mag do 1700 good, or would I be better off going to another cartridge?

    help deciding caliber for a savage build

    Re: help deciding caliber for a savage build I did my Savage build in .260 Rem with the 1:8 twist. Shooting the 139 Scenars and the 140 VLD's it is awsome. With Lapua makeing brass for the .260 now, great brass is available without necking up the .243 and turning.

    7mm Rem Mag

    I was offered an older Sendero today (looks to have a pretty low round count) in 7mm Rem Mag. I don't have alot of experience with this cal other than a little hunting. So what can you all tell me about how this would perform at 1700-2000? Been looking at the 180gr VLD's and with the high BC...

    .338 Lapua or .338 Rem Ultra

    Re: .338 Lapua or .338 Rem Ultra I was planning on a Savage repeater action.

    Rifle Scopes IOR vs Nightforce

    Re: IOR vs Nightforce I would hope it to be as rugged as the Ultra that was on it. I do take care of my equipment, but I do like to know the strength is there if needed.

    Savage 10 actions- center v. staggered feed diffs?

    Re: Savage 10 actions- center v. staggered feed diffs? I put the Bell & Carlson Medalist Tactical on my .260 Which is on a Stevens 200 Centerfeed. It seems like a good stock so far and compares to the HS Precision on my Rem PSS .308.

    Rifle Scopes IOR vs Nightforce

    Well with tax time comeing around, and good news from the Accountant it's time for a new scope. I am going to replace the Leupold 10X Ultra on my .260 with a variable with higher magnification. A friend of mine has an IOR Snipershide Edition on his 6.5 Lapua. After shooting it I fell in love...

    Remington 700p

    Re: Remington 700p I bought my 700P about six years ago so the trigger may be different. As far as the extra $$$ while I was looking at buying mine I called Remington to ask them what was the difference between the 700 Varmint, and the then PSS. They told me that the PSS has the HS Precision...

    .338 Lapua or .338 Rem Ultra

    Re: .338 Lapua or .338 Rem Ultra I have my current LR rifle in .260 Rem. It is great to 1000yds, but I would like something that is going out to 1500-1700 and have something left when it gets there. It looks like the .338's should do that, but I havn't been able to shoot one yet. Don't really...

    .338 Lapua or .338 Rem Ultra

    Just wondering about your opinions on this. I am having a new rifle built. I have decided on a .338, but not which one. I have it narrowed down to two. Either the .338 Lapua, or the .338 Rem Ultra. What are the experts opinions here?

    Vector Arms

    Hey all, I was offered a copy of the H&K 94 built by Vector Arms. Good deal, but still alot of $$$$. So does anyone here have any experience with them, and would it be a good purchase or not? I have wanted a 94 for a long time, but not if it's a pile of crap.

    Re: Informative article on CB caps vs air rifle Not real sure what you want them for, but here is my experience. I have a deal with a local community to keep down the Gopher population in their cemetary. I started out using some fairly high-end air rifles, but ended up using a dedicated .22lr...

    Which 10/22 tactical stock and where to buy it?

    Re: Which 10/22 tactical stock and where to buy it? I used a Hogue Overmoulded stock on one of my 10/22 builds. It turned out quite well. Not top of the line, but surely not junk either.

    What type of rifle would you want for urban/sub?

    Re: What type of rifle would you want for urban/sub? I have often wished for a "Patrol" type rifle in 7.62X39. Something a little more PC than an AK. The old Valmets were nice. Another rifle that I think would be GREAT if a civilian version were imported into the US would me the Israeli Magal...

    5.56 ammo question

    Re: 5.56 ammo question I bought a case of the Russian Wolf hollow point 5.56 awhile back for Jack Rabbit hunting with my AR (don't really care if I loose the steel casings). It seems to work well in several AR's we have shoot it out of. Just depends on your gun I guess.

    Re: 6.5 Grendel Upper The upper thing is good news as I have several flat-top uppers laying around waiting for a home. If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the Saturn ?

    Re: 6.5 Grendel Upper Thanks for the good info all. I have no problem building the upper myself, so where would you all recomend I buy a barrel from? I would like a match grade barrel. I usually use Shilen Select Match Grade's on my bolt action builds, but anything of that quality would be...
