    I know it's not a custom, but it's gonna make be a better F/TR shooter!

    Thanks guys, I am really excited about this stick. I just got done measuring all the pertinants I need to reloading, so I am going to start working up a load so I can test this weekend!

    I know it's not a custom, but it's gonna make be a better F/TR shooter!

    Because I know it will hold better then I for a while. Once I burn this tube, I will put a custom one on it, but that will not be for a season or two. I am using the Sinclair Gen 2 bipod and a Sightron SIII 10x50x60 scope on an EGW 20 moa rail. I hope to shoot the 185 juggernaught out to 1000...

    F T/R Competition F/TR load development advise needed

    I am picking up a Savage FTR to shoot in F/TR. I am not a novice reloader but far from being an expert. I have in the past developed loads for a couple of rifles based on common agreed upon components. However, developing a load specifically for this discipline has me a little concerned...

    Savage 308 F/TR ?

    Sounds good Greg I will be there for sure! I got a million questions, there is alot about this stuff I just don't understand. Like which is better, a heaver bullet that will buck the wind or a lighter bullet with a better bc and MV? Do I work up a load from 100 yards or 300? I have always...

    Savage 308 F/TR ?

    Gordo, on the chance the rifle I bought does have the 1/10 twist, could you share some of you load data with the 185 VLD, have you tried the Juggernaught? Now I am torn as too which I hope I get, not that it matters, I will have to deal with it when it gets here?

    Savage 308 F/TR ?

    It's no big deal, I want to shoot the 185gr Berger Juggernaught. Berger says a 1/12 is fine. Hopefully the rifle will like that round. If worse comes to worse I will just pick up a new Kriger 1/10 for it. But this is kind of a impulse buy and with the scope, I will be in the hole a icouple...

    Savage 308 F/TR ?

    I am looking a buying one that is 4 years old with a very low round count. The seller thinks it's a 1/10 twist, but all the research shows these are 1/12 twist? Does anyone know if they once came with a 1/10 twist? thx Diego

    very nice groups guys! When I started this post almost 2 years ago, it was just after I had gotten my Tikka 308 Varmint, I was new to percision shooting. I had taken my rilfe down to New Mexico and a buddy introduced me to reloading. He had the same rifle as me so he had two dozen diffrent...

    Tikka T3 Varmint no longer sold in the US?

    I heard the sporter stock is very good, there was a guy on here who sanded his down and painted it a flat black, it looked really cool, IMHO. Diego

    Help me build a duel purpose F open rifle

    Well Greg after looking at the results from day one of the state Palma champinionships, I NOW see the wisdom of this thinking! This will give me a lot to consider moving forward! I am going to finish this season with the 6.5x47, I think this will help the most with my wind reading skills...

    Help me build a duel purpose F open rifle

    I have been shooting F-open for about 2 years. Last year I had built and shot a 6.5X47 Lapua with a 30”1-8 Krieger heavy Palma tube on a Tikka action in KRG chassis. I shoot 130gr Berger VLDs. The rifle performs well in matches from 300 to 600 yards but is affected by wind drift more than I...
