    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more! Maybe we're all getting just a little too optimistic about a December or even January 2013 delivery date for the 1-6X. I just visited their website and it says "available this summer". Now I don't know about you, but I hate it when I see a...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS scopes

    Re: SWFA SS scopes I have experience with both the standard models and the HD variety. My very first purchase was a fixed 20X. For $300 you can't go wrong. I used this scope for two different Fifty Caliber Shooters Association matches at 1000 yards. I then purchased a 10X (non-HD) that I...

    Re: Modifying a Tactical Medalist (add a sling too) Yep,that's pretty much it. Got any details on the process you used?

    Modifying a Tactical Medalist (add a sling too)

    I'm about ready to ramp up work on a Savage 10FP that I'll be stocking with a B&C Tactical Medalist. I saw a vid on youtube where a guy had cut off the "wings" on the front of the stock. I don't plan on shooting the rifle off of bags much so I'd be willing to chop 'em off as well. Anyone...

    Gunsmithing Can you Cerakote after bedding?

    Re: Can you Cerakote after bedding? Exactly what I was wondering. I'm planning to Duracoat and bed my action. I wasn't sure if I could bed the action first, then while the bedding is curing for awhile work on the Duracoat end of things. I would have thought that the fit would be much...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Conquest disappointment and question

    Re: Zeiss Conquest disappointment and question I was just a wee bit disappointed when I opened the box on my Zeiss Conquest. I was like "plastic turret caps, really?". At that time, the Conquest was my most expensive scope purchase. I haven't used the rifle its mounted on that much, but...

    Muzzle brake for competition use?

    Re: Muzzle brake for competition use? Yeah, I'm not recoil sensitive. A couple of weeks ago I shot over 70 rounds of 50 BMG over the course of two days for competition. When this Savage is finished I bet it'll top out over 12 pounds so I don't think recoil will be an issue anyhow. I've...

    Muzzle brake for competition use?

    My local range is ramping up for more and more scoped rifle matches. I'm in the process of putting together a Savage in .308 for that very purpose. Maximum distance will be 600 yards. I foresee several shooters at a time proned out on the line for most of the matches. What I don't want to...

    Rifle Scopes thoughts on a swfa super sniper 10x42

    Re: thoughts on a swfa super sniper 10x42 I had (stupidly traded it) 10X and still have a 20X. The 10X was on a M1A that i had in a Sage EBR stock and the 20X was on my Barrett M99. I've not had a single issue with the lower priced line of SWFA scopes. They seem to be built like tanks...

    Rifle Scopes Blow 2 scopes on a .50 bmg so far......

    Re: Blow 2 scopes on a .50 bmg so far...... I've seen two Nightforce scopes fail at 50 matches thus far. I used a fixed 20x SWFA SS with good results for my first two matches. No issues at all and pushing 200 rounds. I recently put a SWFA SS 5-20X HD model on for my primary scope. The...

    Realistic max range for a 2.5x 1903/A4?

    Re: Realistic max range for a 2.5x 1903/A4? I've gone to the CMP Eastern Games and Georgia Games with my 1903A4 clone - its got a 1" tube Weaver 2.5X. I consider my scores respectable, about 85% for the 300 and 600 yard lines combined. The best group I've posted thus far was a 7/8" 5-shot...

    Gibbs or Creedmoor 1903A4 Sniper Rifle

    Re: Gibbs or Creedmoor 1903A4 Sniper Rifle I'd vote neither. I'd never shell out the kind of jack required (last time I looked they were north of $900) when I could put one together myself for much, much less. My DIY project started with a sporterized 1903 and ended up a CMP legal Vintage...

    QD Flush Cups

    I'm planning on a Bell and Carlson Tactical Medalist for my Savage build. Considering a side mounted sling in flush cups. Any recommendations or pics for ideas? I was looking at Uncle Mike's QD 100s at Brownells as I could get a 10 pack of the cups for later installs.

    How come...?

    Re: How come...? I similarly wondered why the M1A/M14 magazine concept never caught on with the bolt action crowd. I've got an original Savage "tupperware" stock and I was thinking of experimenting with it for my .308. Believe me, I've used the search function and googled the heck out of...

    Problem with new (used) .308

    Re: Problem with new (used) .308 First step I'd do is contact the seller and see if he has some specifics on the chamber. Without knowing more, I'd probably just bump my FGMM in the die once I find the measurements I need. But I shoot mainly handloads through my rifles so I can customize...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more! I'm still patiely waiting. But, I'll have to agree with another poster when he said that, basically it was bad form for SWFA to make their update via this forum rather than a more personal email. Sure, that mass email would have taken some...

    Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more! I don't know where several folks are getting this idea that SWFA never promised a delivery date. They pretty much do everyday with their ad here for the 1-6X - says its available this summer. Granted, their website says that they're taking...

    Rifle Scopes Do I need an Aimpoint???

    Re: Do I need an Aimpoint??? Awhile back Aimpoint provided us with some various models to try during a training. I had the Pro mounted on an AR for the two days. I'm completely sold. Since I don't own one I can't talk about long-term reliability or the battery life. I will say, however...

    Savage model 10 in .308 build questions

    Re: Savage model 10 in .308 build questions If it were me . . . I'd start by swapping out the barrel for a varmint contour. While you're swapping barrels, replace the factory recoil lug with one from Sharp Shooter Supply. I'd put a conservative sniper-style stock on it since you'll be...
