    savage model 10 fcp opinions

    You can do a few more upgrades to make it perfect. Get the 1.5 lb target spring for the accutrigger. $5 at Gunshack. No brainer there. The regular spring is 3lbs to 6lbs. The target spring is 1.5 to 4. Also get the precision ground barrel nut and lug from Jim at Northland. They are nice...

    Messing around with Paracord

    I liked this color combo but it needed something else so I wrapped some OD paracord through the Samson rail. I really like how it came out. Looks good and gives the slick rail a more positive feel. Like or too gay? :cool: Anyone else used paracord on their rifles? If so please post...

    Chargemaster Precision

    I too love mine. So up to .22 in potential differential in charge weight? Unless your a bench rest shooter I can't see how that can overcome the speed and handiness of the Chargemaster. I base my load quality on the ES and SD of my Chrony. The loads made with my Chargemaster constently net...

    Gunsmithing working in the shop

    Dude that is fantastic! I'm a hobbiest armorer and basically assemble rifles for my own use. I'm a Savage junkie because they don't require the kind of work you do. I own a healthcare consulting company as my real job but plan on selling out someday and doing real gunsmithing (not that I'll...

    Rifle Scopes Primary Arms scopes ?

    I'm a huge PA fan. I have so far purchased 2 of the FFP's, seven of the SFP's, one of the old 6x ACSS and one of the new 1x6 ACSS optics. I also own several Bushnell Elites and Viper PST's. I build and sell a bunch of rifles as a hobby. Most guys who buy a rifle want to put their own...

    Sling for a XLR

    I have a Viking Tactics Wide Padded with QD buttons. I have sockets on all my rifles including my XLR. The XLR stock comes with one. I added a Samson socket to the rail. I love having just one that works across all my rifles. Great sling at about $40 on Amazon.

    Cerakote to match the green in GAP camo

    Magpul OD is darker than Milspec. It's all in the shading. Your Cerakoter can start with Forest or Sniper green which is lighter and add black until he gets a perfect match. Blending Cerakote is easy as long as you mic H with H and C with C. Add a bit put a drop on a piece of paper and let...

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    I've had plenty of Remingtons. Some were good some were not so good. What I don't like about them is you can't do anything to them unless you use a Gunsmith. I'm a tinkerer and like to experiment. That's the beauty of Savage. They are the AR's of the bolt guns. Mix and match. I routinely...

    Savage arms....Ill never own another savage!

    Don't know why Savage did not bid. Maybe they did not care. Most likely. But the statement is not so bold. Good action, barrel and chassis put together and operated right will do the trick. A sub minute rifle is a sub minute rifle no matter who made it. My savages shoot better than I am...

    Savage arms....Ill never own another savage!

    I like my junk thank you. Nothing wrong with Savage actions, bolts and even barrels..although I do prefer custom barrels for precision work. Dont like their stocks either but then again I don't like any factory stocks. All mine shoot sub MOA or much better and are stone cold reliable. I'll...

    Savage arms....Ill never own another savage!

    Holy shit! I think I would have given up after one. :rolleyes: Lets just degrade this right into a Remington 700 vs Savage debate. :cool:

    Savage arms....Ill never own another savage!

    Your overthinking this. Attorneys are useless. The rifle feeds and shoots FMJ and ballistic tips just fine. It just don't feed hollow points. List it on Armslist or better yet Savage Shooters Forum and it will be gone in no time. If you feel you need to disclose something then just tell the...

    Savage arms....Ill never own another savage!

    $252! Best thing to do is just sell it and move on. Not worth the stress dude.

    Talk me out of buying a small base sizing die

    If you learn to set your dies correctly for your chamber you should never need a small based die. IMHO the small based die was designed for those who reload alot of once fired miltary brass which was fired out of machine guns. This is where it really shines. Some of the MG chambers are...

    Let's talk about precision reloading

    Some stuff to think about from an OCD tinkerer. I'm a read about it, try it for myself, measure results then either keep doing it or dump it. Turning case necks - not worth it for standard calibers but sometimes necessary on converting calibers like .308 to .260. Primers. 99 out of 100...

    Hunting & Fishing Slung Rifle, Muzzle up or down?

    Walking around - Muzzle up. Yes to protect the crown and safety. Slung on my back over my shoulder. Stalking/hunting - Muzzle down. Slung over shoulder in hands ready to fire. I use a V-Tac wide padded sling with QD swivels and matching studs on all my rifles both ARs and bolts. This works...

    H or IMR, WHO CARES!!!!

    I'm done with Hodgdon and IMR. Sure supply and demand but if you can't find it forget it. I'm all Alliant now. For some reason I can find it locally with ease. Have become a Power Pro2000 MR junkie. This stuff does everything for me and more than Varget or any other Hodgdon powder has...

    Gunsmithing Another Cerakote custom blend

    Thanks. It looks killer when wet. :cool: The lighting in the pictures do not do it justice for sure. The ratio was about 60% OD Green and 40% Titanium. The Titanium lightened it up so the color is more like Foliage with a metallic sheen. If you use Foliage as a base it will be much...

    Snag with a transaction in the PX

    Same thing happened to me. You won't like the end result. I sold 2000 Hornady .224 bullets to a Hide member. I packaged them securely and shipped them via USPS. Buyer notified me they never arrived after one week. I went to the PO and their records showed it left the local PO but then came...

    Stocking a new Gunshop with AR10 and AR15 accessories

    If your a competent ARmorer and with 25 years experience you should be then you should offer low cost installation of stuff like rails, triggers and other parts. Most first time AR buyers get something they can afford then want to accessorize. Your more likely to get a better margin on a new...
