    1500.00 ish credit at gun store --- what to buy?

    Money is tight right now, If I could swing another 1500.00 I would love to pick up a Larue OBR, POF, or Gap AR10. This is why I think the remmy 700 might be a good call. The upgrades are endless as my funds increase.

    1500.00 ish credit at gun store --- what to buy?

    I might just pick up a bare bones remmy 700 for a semi custom build? Any suggestions on which model: 700p? This would give me something to constantly tinker with for the coming year? Question is: Should I look into a .270, or 308 calibre or should i continue to stick with the 300wm? (I...

    FTF with an LWRC M6A2

    I removed the BAD and the rifle cycled perfectly again. The Magpul BAD was ever so slightly activating the Bolt release. Instead of grinding down the backside of the BAD and reinstalling it, I just removed it altogether.

    1500.00 ish credit at gun store --- what to buy?

    I have a 1500.00-ish credit at a gun shop, what should I buy? I have no need for a spotting scope, binocs, shotgun. What about a Kestral Horus, maybe a Noveske ar15 considering the waiting list for AR's in CA maybe a couple of glock/XD pistols. A additional upper for my LWRC m6a2 ? Any...

    Sako 300wm bit me !

    The "bump" portion of my hand is still really sore. I am going to call the doc tomorrow for a check up.

    Sako 300wm bit me !

    I was shooting 200gr safari rounds and I could not get comfortable on the rifle that day so I used my back support hand to apply a bit of upward pressure to the bottom of the stock right behind the bottom of the palm swell, between the wood bench and the stock. Remembering to use padded gloves =...

    Sako 300wm bit me !

    The worst part was putting my hand into my jeans pocket to retrieve money and my keys.

    Sako 300wm bit me !

    It was definitely a lesson learned. I guess I will have to break out the bronzer to blend it in -

    Noob request: Sako 75V syn/stainless 300wm - accuracy?

    Things went better today, The new sand bags helped a lot. I was playing around with how hard to pull the rifle into my shoulder or just let it ride on the bag without much tension. What really made a difference was when I finally figured out how to "drive" the rifle? I concentrated on nothing...

    Noob request: Sako 75V syn/stainless 300wm - accuracy?

    I am going to making sure that the rifle is sitting "comfortably" on target without any undue influence from me before each shot. * I just picked up a set of proper Caldwell bags. Thanks.

    Noob request: Sako 75V syn/stainless 300wm - accuracy?

    GreyWolf, My first concern was if the 1.5" spread was completely out of line for a Sako75 using a high end scope at 22 power 100yd out? 1.5" seems rather large for a 100yrd shot and no real noticeable wind. I was fairly sure that I can hold a rifle steady and ensure it isnt canted while using...

    Noob request: Sako 75V syn/stainless 300wm - accuracy?

    Is a 1.5" 5-shot group from 100yd slow-fire sand-bag bench-rest a result of shitty shooting or is this somewhat acceptable from a newb-ish shooter? I know I don't have time on the rifle but could it be possible that the rifle just isn't a shooter?

    Noob request: Sako 75V syn/stainless 300wm - accuracy?

    Sorry for the long winded story, A fews cocktails tend to do that sometimes. My story is: Back in 2000 I purchased a new synthetic stainless Sako75V 300wm and I put on a Swarovski 1.5-6 power ffp with Leupold rings for moose hunting in AK. At that time I had only put @ 40 rounds of federal...
