Manners T4 or T4A?
Don't get scared off by the lead times at Manners. If you're going to spend the money anyways, be patient and order it the way you want it. There's nothing worse than buying a $1,000 stock and hating it because you didn't get the proper sling attachments, butt, cheek, color, model, features...- Swift

WARNING ~ TR ~ My experience
I don't know if Frank is still at Cup or not, but I'd like to know if there's been any further correspondence from TR or their lawyers. Maybe they finally realized they have no case here and tucked their tail in hopes that this would blow over; which is a shame because they were given an...- Swift

1000 Yard Setup
I have nothing against budget optics, everyone has a different situation. But you have to choose wisely. Companies like Bushnell, Weaver and SWFA offer good quality for the dollar, while Millett, Barska and others are risky and often more trouble than they're worth. In OP's budget, he's mainly...- Swift

1000 Yard Setup
I would avoid that particular scope. They look good on paper but I went through 4(after Bushnell bought em) in a season. On two of em, the elevation turret stripped out and spun freely in the housing, another had a leak that filled the tube with condensation, and the power ring on the 4th failed...- Swift

1000 Yard Setup
It doesn't matter how nice the rifle is, if the optics are subpar it will never make it to 1000. A cheap, beat up 700 from a pawn shop with a good optic will outshoot a rifle 5x it's price with a shitty optic. 1000 yards is a long way out there and a $300 scope just won't get you there. The only...- Swift

Got two Savages that don't eject well.
Hard to say for sure. I had the same issue, even when running the bolt hard. I replaced the extractor, ejector and spring all at the same time since the parts are cheap and it fixed the issue. I'd start with the spring and ejector and go from there. Worst case, you order a new bolt but it...- Swift

1000 Yard Setup
$1000 for a rifle and $300 for optics is the recipe for a very discouraging experience. Rule of thumb in precision rifles is the scope should cost as much as the rifle. Buy a well used Savage or 700 in your caliber of choice for $400, spend $500 on optics and $100 on a base and rings. It will be...- Swift

Barrel Break In - How Important is it?
I rolled through that entire Rex video a couple months ago. His channel is awesome, though I coulda done without 8 straight 40:00 videos on bore erosion and bore dynamics but you can't argue with his results.- Swift

Mcmillan stock, GAP camo without the black
I like the GAP but that McM next to it really disappears in that grass. If you wanna stay concealed, it really depends on your location.- Swift

Mcmillan stock, GAP camo without the black
I see everything from OD, tan, grey, brown and white. Google GAP Camo or search the gallery on here and I'm sure you'll get quicker results. Just a few I pulled from a search.- Swift

Detachable Mag vs Internal: Pros & Cons?
Scope mounts are another conversation. If they're not well made, it's almost a must to switch, preferably to a 1 piece base, although with an internal mag a quality 2 piece set won't interfere so much. Optics mounting is often overlooked and shoddy bases and rings can make a $5,000 rig shoot...- Swift

Detachable Mag vs Internal: Pros & Cons?
If you stay within SAAMI spec, there's(normally) less chance of a feeding issue due to mag/dbm compatability and install related issues. It will also cost a couple hundred bucks to switch to a bottom metal setup and the stock will need to be opened up by a smith or someone with a mill. You'll...- Swift

DTA Quality
I'm glad this board has enough professionals to snuff out and chase these guys off. Impersonating a member of the US military is up there with rape and murder in my book. Yall see the fat fuck on youtube that shamelessly gloated about getting free meals and admission for wearing a "costume" he...- Swift
