    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 guess for me at least, I'm actually not too frustrated with the delay. Sure, I'd like to be fiddling with the scopes, but I don't really have a home for 'em yet. I'll be getting a Savage .308 in October and that'll be the home for the...

    inexpensive elk rifle

    Re: inexpensive elk rifle I'll make a suggestion for an off-the-shelf Savage in 30-06. With the Savage barrel nut (on older models) you have the option of a DIY barrel change if you buy the special wrench and a set of headspace gauges. I did it myself. I started my project with the...

    Where is the Lever Action Love?

    Re: Where is the Lever Action Love? Interesting topic. My very first deer gun, given to me by my dad, was a Winchester Model 88 lever action in .308 Win. If you're not familiar with the gun it is a box fed levergun that has a one piece stock, something not often seen on levers. The lever...

    Savage a better deal?

    Re: Savage a better deal? Even if I do end up with the Savage I plan on replacing the factory "tupperware". I won't be able to actually lay hands on the gun until he's back in town for a local match the first week in October. He's good with me shopping around until then and doesn't have any...

    Savage a better deal?

    Re: Savage a better deal? My bud is standing firm on the $500 price tag for the Savage. Mostly because of the threaded barrel. I visited a local gunshop yesterday and saw a Remington 700 SPS-T on the rack. Asking price was $660. I'm still a bit torn, and with a gun show this coming...

    Rifle Scopes Talk me out of using Warne bases & rings.

    Re: Talk me out of using Warne bases & rings. I think the first reply is sound advice. I don't see any reason not to go Warne. Now I just have to decide which ones - TPA, QD, or tactical.

    Rifle Scopes Talk me out of using Warne bases & rings.

    I'm currently putting together the gear needed to outfit a Savage 10FP that I'm getting soon from a friend. I already have a scope - SWFA SS 5-20X - that'll top it off once they start filling their backorders. So . . . . I'm completely sold on the Warne Maxima bases and rings. Stout, nice...

    Savage a better deal?

    Re: Savage a better deal? I'm going to offer $450. I think that's a fair price. Some factors to consider: its got the accutrigger, the barrel has been threaded, its a LE model with the blackened bolt and large bolt knob, and my friend takes care of his stuff. On the negative side would be...

    Savage a better deal?

    Re: Savage a better deal? From the pics my friend sent, the stock has two swivel studs up front. I can't tell if the stock has the larger forend that appears to be on the current 10FP-SR. Doesn't much matter as I'll be replacing the stock anyhow. What do y'all think of my assessment of the...

    Savage a better deal?

    Re: Savage a better deal? Alright, I got some more details about the rifle. It has the accutrigger, has a 22" or 24" factory heavy barrel which has been threaded (after factory purchase) w/ thread protector, 1-10 twist, large bolt handle, and the "tupperware" factory stock. From what I can...

    Savage a better deal?

    Had my heart set on a Remington 700 SPS Tactical or AAC. But, I have a friend that has a Savage in 308 with the 20" tube and the factory plastic stock. I can't remember if it is accutrigger or pre-accutrigger. Anyhow, he wants to sell it but there is one issue. He mounted the two piece...

    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 placed my order for the 5-20 and 1-6 on the last day of the coupon, June 21st if I remember correctly. About a week ago I got an e-mail from SWFA stating that the items that I ordered were out of stock. I think it is kinda silly to get...

    Was gonna go semi-auto, now its a bolt gun.

    Re: Was gonna go semi-auto, now its a bolt gun. Golden Isles area is where I'm at. I think any of the quality aftermarket stocks will suffice for my needs when the time (and money) comes.

    Was gonna go semi-auto, now its a bolt gun.

    My local club has "scope rifle" matches with three different classifications - vintage, hunter/sporter, and unlimited. Max distance for the match (and the limit for ourl local range) is 600 yards. I've competed in these matches previously with my 1903A4 clone. Did quite well too. But...

    Rifle Scopes Not enough space for buttler creek scope cap?

    Re: Not enough space for buttler creek scope cap? I have bcs on my muzzleloader and didn't have full clearance between the objective and the rear sight. I ended up sanding the bottom of the cap (bout halfway thru) so that it would fit. Not sure if you have the space to try that or not.

    Rifle Scopes Ring height and weaver or warne?

    Re: Ring height and weaver or warne? I guess I wasn't done . . . I have a Barrett M99 50 BMG and recently put a new scope on it. I kept the old Barrett rings on the old scope and bought another set for the new scope - the whole idea being I could swap scopes if need be. I'm thinking...

    Rifle Scopes Ring height and weaver or warne?

    Re: Ring height and weaver or warne? I can't help you out with your ring height. I will, however, speak for the Warne Maxima rings. I first purchased a set for a T/C Encore 209X50 muzzleloader. I got the QD style so that I could remove the scope and resort to the open sights if needed. I...

    AR 10 VS M1A EBR

    Re: AR 10 VS M1A EBR I'm a fan of the M1A. The only one I own is an 18" bush rifle. I had it it a Sage EBR Mod 0 stock for a bit. It was a MOA gun - in the wood stock or in the EBR stock. I sold the EBR stock recently as it was to unwieldy for my liking. My next project will be to slap...

    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 just made my order for the combo. I thought I might have to split the deal or guarantee the wife I'd sell the 5-20x to get the deal. But no such need. Now I'm in the club - those waiting for word on a ship date for the 1-6x.
