    Hunting Rifle

    For a "kick around in the woods" rifle, a Howa 1500 can't hardly be beaten. You mention semi- custom.... pick up a Howa 1500 barreled actionin the caliber of your choice from Brownells, drop it into any stock and accessorize as desired. I'm 2 for 2 on buying Howas that just plain shoot...

    MDT ACC Chassis

    I dropped a Howa 6mm Creedmoor barreled action into one. I like the ergos, and it definitely feels solid. I can't say if it improved accuracy, because this rifle hasn't had any other stocks. However it holds .6-.75 moa with factory hornady pretty regularly... and it did this with some...

    Rifle Scopes "Scope reticle free agency"

    That's basically what I was thinking. Nothing more fancy than a triangular grid of dots at .5 mils, the same size as the center dot. I actually own 2 of the SFP models just because I love this reticle so much. Also because I find myself using either 3x for hunting, or 15x (which is where the...

    Procedure Prior to Pulling the Trigger

    I think you're way over-complicating it, but that's just me. Lasing/ballistics are done before I get behind the rifle at all. Usually kneeling or prone immediately next to it. I make any major adjustments at this point. Once I'm behind the rifle, I do the following: Assuming you've already...

    Rifle Scopes "Scope reticle free agency"

    Mine is a bit complicated. SWFA made a 3-15 SFP that had an awesome version of their Mil-Quad in it...mainly because of the floating center dot. I'd like to take that reticle, thicken it up a bit and stick it on the FFP version of the same scope. Maybe add an illuminated center and some wind...

    Range Report Berger 144-gr Long Range Hybrid

    I got a Stage One pack with these from C4 for my 6.5 Creedmoor Howa. Hoping to try it out when the weather clears up a bit. I only have 20 rounds through this rifle at the moment, so it'll also have to wait until I put about 100 through it. I have tried the 109s in my 6mm Howa, and they...

    Howa 1500 builds **post them**

    Aaaaand my other Howa (on the bag): 6mm Creedmoor barreled action from Brownells. Picked up the MDT ACC chassis on sale last November. It's wearing an Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50, and the HACT trigger has been replaced with an 8 oz Jard.. I need to get some lower rings... but so far this has...

    Range Report Savage 10 FCP-SR Range Day Results

    Nice! How does the Big Chubby work for you? I have an FCP-K that I'm in the next phase of tricking out, and I'm seriously looking at trying out MBs to see if there is an improvement over the factory. I guess a more precise question, is does it live up to the claim of holding the sights in...

    Savage 10 FCP-K range report

    Re: Savage 10 FCP-K range report Thanks! I'll have to try that one of these days...I need reloading equipment first though. Milder loads seem to have a good history in rifles in general. I seem to remember a story about the old Arisaka rounds being way underpowered, but because of that, they...

    Savage 10 FCP-K range report

    Hey everyone! I just took out my new-ish model 10, and tried a few different kinds of ammo through it. It seemed to really like HSM 155gr A-MAX's, but I don't have any other 155gr ammo to test against...yet. I want to try the VLD's, but we'll see. Either way, it was fairly well spot-on. I got...

    Brass Extraction problem /new Savage .338 LM

    Re: Brass Extraction problem /new Savage .338 LM First time poster, but I'm having the EXACT same problem with my 10 FCP-K. I received the rifle on Monday, took it to the range Wednesday with 2 boxes of FGMM 168gr. It shot VERY well, definitely sub-MOA...until shot #20. I tried to cycle the...
