    Arken/Outlier chassis rifle build

    Wonder if the Nitride coating has something to do with it? Mine also shoots great, should last quite a few seasons at Rayners 223/308 1000 yard matches. Agree with lots of bang for the buck forever. Topstrap

    Arken/Outlier chassis rifle build

    Have a fluted 308 Outlier barrel and chassis on a Savage Axis we've been kinda testing. Got a bit of a problem presently with the bolt/action not camping back to start extraction and why we haven't been shooting it lately. They wanted to see how the 308 shot right from the git-go with no...

    make me a pro shooter, help needed lol

    Good expectations, some make it with some success and others bail when they get beat by mediocre equipment and some Rube with mismatched socks at matches. Good luck with your journey. Topstrap

    Results June 2023 Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    Those peep targets look big but they are deceiving when peering thru the sights. It also don't take too many shots to get eye fatigue, especially after spotting for three days. Just another challenging part of shooting. I think the KYL racks add some fun, hope others think so. Let me know of...

    Results June 2023 Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    Another beautiful three days for my match, Friday and Saturday had a little bit of wind but not too bad and Sunday had a little rain but I like shooting in a light rain to help see hold off if needed. I still have two classes based on ammo costs with anothing above $10.00/50 in A and under in B...

    Scratched chamber

    To the OP, I have a Savage 112 Target 338 Lapua Mag. The buddy I got it from said do NOT look down the barrel or chamber with a bore scope. The gun has very few rounds shot out of it but it's crazy accurate. The brass has slight ring marks pretty much full length which would drive most people...

    Results April 2023 Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    First match of the year is history. Didn't really think many would show up, plenty of other shoots going on the same weekend and it also being Easter. Friday was busy, Saturday only 4 showed up but Easter Sunday I was swamped, maybe everyone wanting to escape family get together? Weather in the...

    No rimfire for SHTF

    In the book "One Second After" it comes down to 22 rimfire rounds being a highly valued trading commodity. Still think the lowly 22 rimfire is one of the most underrated cartridges available. Topstrap

    Savage Axis II?

    I'm presently testing an Axis II with an Outlier 308 Nitrided barrel and their Chassis. Really nice unit so far. Like most other Savages accuracy is excellent. The action isn't as smooth as a custom but for typical longrange matches most of us meer mortals compete in they can be competitive...

    Kudos to SWFA

    We've also dinged the 18" mile target at Thundet Valley with the 6x47L pistol. Really not much different than with a rifle. Topstrap

    Kudos to SWFA

    I do agree, they have a great product but is ready for an upgrade. I've bought a few Arkens lately and really like them.

    Got to shoot the Outlier Chassis/barrel/Savage today

    I know, here we go again with a Junk Savage test again. I personally like Savages and have no problem with their accuracy. Got to tell you I was pretty impressed with this thing today in the conditions we had and no load development at all. Buddy assembled it and I brought loads to the range and...

    Chinese Balloon

    So now we have a Chinese Balloon floating lazily over Montana. Just happened to be reading a thread here on the Hide about the grid and what an EMP detonation would do. Surprised everyone isn't in panic mode. Guess the egg plants burning down is in the spotlight at the moment. Never a dull...

    REALISTIC groups at 200 yards?

    After spotting for all the competitors at my longrange matches and shooting the same if you can consistently on demand keep all your shots (except for the occasional wild round) on a 3 inch target you have a really great shooting rig. Sometimes they may be a tad better and other days a tad...
