    KRG bolt lift

    Hahaha my thoughts exactly but there have been enough times when a bigger knob would have been useful...

    LSS chassis on a Savage .223

    Yep, pretty cool... very minimal and like you say the cost of bottom metal is taken into consideration. We have one mounted on a 6.5-06 and its a hammer....

    What you reckon?

    Just spied this all Carbon Stock... looks interesting I think. Pretty light too at 660 Grams.. I was thinking about getting a carbon stock for lugging up the hills... Could even ad the Whidden V block or similar when getting one made I guess...

    .260 build underway.

    Found a used Rem 700 SPS .308 for the donor action.... So it's "Ciao" until October when I can get her put together.... unless I have any other noob questions for you lot!

    varmint rifle ideas

    22-250..... Hard to beat. Grab a used Savage and if you fall in love the pre fit barrels from mcgowan are superb.

    Help me with caliber

    Getting back to the op.... .243 is a nice choice. I am pretty recoil sensitive since I do not shoot regularly but I have hunted quite a bit. This thread sounds like me when I started! I had a .223 and it was nice but not enough power to drop deer reliably in the boiler room. I moved up to...

    My First Rifle... Savage, Remington or Ruger?

    Now there's a good answer! Having said that.... You say hunting and targets... Scope choice is key here. Maybe a Vortex hs-t? The howa will see you right as will savage,remington and most of the other brands mentioned here. You should probably decide what its going to do more of either...

    Are Timney triggers worth it?

    ^^^ What he said! I prefer the Timney on a hunt set at 2.5 lb and the Jewel on the bench.

    Ok Cheers. I believe the cheapest Custom Action is $1899 and I can get my trued second hand one with new one piece bolt a heap cheaper than that after selling the Bolt, Barrel and Stock it came with...

    .260 build underway.

    I hear ya but I live in NZ. Custom actions are silly expensive down here and what's more is the availability is limited.... It is easier and cheaper for me to do it slowly and have a custom'ish action... I mean once blue printed and the new one piece bolt is fitted then its a nice tidy semi...

    Savage Model 10 PC 223 Feeding issues

    Sorry for the late reply but hoping you got this fixed. I had the same issue but sorted it wit a new bottom metal and mag combo from Atlas Worxs out of Australia. I informed th smith of the issue and he tested it and adjusted until it worked... Seems like it was feeding low. Pretty sure yours...

    Fellas, Im just wondering about the recoil lug options on PT&G since I have to order the rest of the bolt parts... Extractor etc so I thought I might order a lug from them also to save hassle. What are your reccomendations for the lugs and should I have it pinned? Cheers

    Why no love for HS Precision?

    Yeah ok. I read the Wiki but missed the HS endorsement. Crazy Crazy.... why would you open yourselves up for that kind of criticism? Even worse when you consider they are Heavily Tactical based Stocks.... I was considering their thumbhole tactical but man, I'll look else where!

    PT&G Bolts

    I'll keep my order in. For me it's a nice way to get a semi custom action and learn about remington. Looking forward to throwing this rig together though and have been doing a heap of research. I will certainly need to get reloading gear and get cracking. Might have to do a couple more Savage...

    PT&G Bolts

    Eek.... let's hope so!! I am not in a massive hurry but I would like it ready for the end of Sept when I pass through the USA on my way home!!

    Cheers..I didn't see a .473 option on the site so I am assuming it's the right one.

    .260 build underway.

    Could someone please confirm that the bolt face required is the "standard .484" for the .260

    Why no love for HS Precision?

    Just had a read of the Ruby Ridge incident. Makes a compelling read. Are you guys saying that you don't buy HS because they supply the FBI? Or have they outwardly supported and endorsed the actions?
