    Savage guys??? Which savage to buy??

    I suppose spending $8.00 to have a part on the shelf if and when you need one won't hurt anything worse than add a little more clutter if you don't need it. I shoot .308 and 6.5CR and haven't had any issues. I guess tossing out the caveat "yet" can always be useful. OTH, I've had issues with...

    Savage 10p-SR

    The down side, IMO, is there are less optional widgets for it, and that others will give you a hard time because it's not a Remington, AI, or GAP.

    "Snipers rifle" vs regular sporting rifle ???

    "A sniper rifle allows you to shoot Derkas in the wire where a sporting rifle will only hit rabbits" A sniper rifle is a rifle that is used by a sniper." The above are two ways of saying the same thing. A good rifle is an accurate rifle that is made well. All the rest is up to the...

    Savage guys??? Which savage to buy??

    Why, please? My Model 10 chambers fine, shoots fine, and ejects fine. So why enhance what already works great?

    Savage LRP 6.5 creedmoor

    I don't shoot the LRP but the 10 24" barrel Predator Hunter in 6.5 is a very nice shooting rifle. Haven't gone over 530 yards with it but using both 140gr and 120gr Hornady factory A-Max I've shot a good many consecutive stationary 4" shotgun clays as targets. Loading your own brings slightly...

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    Not meaning to introduce politics, but we're only about one mid term election away from being in the same boat. Let's just call it a head's up that needs some attention.

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    From someone that has obviously never owned one. Seems to be a lot of snobbery in here. If it's not custom made and costs less than $4000.00 it's not worth having and can't shoot accurately? Time for the children to mature a little and leave the Yuppie stuff behind. Most of the expensive...

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    Don't tell anyone, but you can also do the above with a Japanese Howa Axiom heavy barrel Varminter resting in a Blackhawk stock. It's good for 1/2 to 1/4 MOA with decent ammo out of the box. After about 100 rounds the bolt feels like it runs on oiled glass.

    Suppressors Carbon Fiber Suppressors...

    The ability of a carbon fiber assembly to withstand heat is 100% dependent upon the type of epoxy and catalyst used. Common off the shelf components are not the least bit suitable, and the upper end components that are are brutally expensive, and generally quite hazardous (deadly) to your...

    Rifle Scopes The New Guy. Mil/MOA/MRAD Questions

    34mm only means it has a larger tube. Any difference in glass quality or elevation quantity is totally dependent upon what the manufacturer elected to provide. The better makers will provide better in both, regardless of tube size. At this point in time 34mm is being used more for a gimmick...

    Rifle Scopes Which 20 MOA mount should I use on my Savage fcp-k?

    +2 for EGW. If it's "bedded" when installed it's just as good, and a smidge lighter, as a steel rail. People get excited about the thermal expansion differences between a steel and aluminum rail. They always seem to forget their scope is aluminum alloy so there's no escaping a thermal...

    Remington 700 5R .308 milspec HORRIBLE ACCURACY!!!!!

    I'm shooting with both Vortex and Sightron scopes. Can't afford the high end stuff so I have to go with what works very well for the dollar spent. Both scopes are MOA scopes in 6-24x50 and 30mm tubes. The Vortex is a Viper HS, the Sightron is an S-III MOA-2. I've shot Leupy's, Nightforce...

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    Damn, I must have really been had;) I paid $550.00, 4 rounds used, for the 700 SPS Tact and sold it for $500.00 two weeks later. As for the "cheaper" Savages, the Model 10, 24' barrel Predator Hunter ran me close to $800.00. Cheapest I've seen one was $710.00 but not while it was "in stock"...

    I am calling for a Christmas Truce on the Savage-Remington Front lines...

    Always gotta be one, LOL. Merry Christmas to all. If you celebrate something else or nothing at all, the spirit that established Christmas will still be with you.

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    You have to figure Remington knows what they are putting on the market, and took me for the sucker I was. I didn't do any worse than Remington in putting the rifle in a gun shop for some other fool that believed the Remington hype. Sorry bud, but if a manufacturer makes it for sale and that...

    Need help identifying weapons

    One is a British .303 Enfield. That's the second one from the front in the gun safe, having the sloped magazine. Unless it's an early Savage Enfield the street value is generally under $300.00 but a serious game killer. The front rifle might be a collector item. It has the large ringed lever...

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    I'm not as deep into absolute perfection like some in here, but I do expect that whatever I purchase to provide performance equal or greater than the price paid. I bought a Remy 700 SPS Tactical a few months ago. Turned out to be one of the worst firearms purchases I've made since buying a...

    Rifle Scopes Which would you pick? Viper PST 6-24 FFP vs Sightron SIII 6-24

    That's pretty good. I agree Sightron has a lifetime warranty but the way it's written limits what they will cover and excludes some things specifically, which does put it behind the lifetime repair or replace for any reason it broke that Vortex provides. I do think the Sightron is a better...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron FFP

    That's $180.00 under what Brownell's is selling the Vortex PST 6-24x50 ffp in their spam ads right now.
