    Savage Precision Carbine 308

    get a scope with knobs if youre thinking about doing long distance shooting. VX-2 is more or less a huntin scope

    Savage Precision Carbine 308

    agree on federal GMM for factory ammo. just read my old review above ... pretty accurate. I've still got the rifle, it really likes 168's loaded to FGMM speeds.

    Remington 700 SPS M40

    cool man. I've batted around the idea of doing something similar. then I just admit that I'm content with my 700P. what kind of recoil pad did you put on it? the originals had steel buttplates, that apparently resulted in extensive bruising from a long day of shooting. my vote is for...

    recoil diff 308 win and 7mm rem mag

    better yet, why not speculate 150 g .284 boolet in 7mm-08 vs 150 g .284 boolet in 7mm rem mag. also, i think a lot of your questions would be instantly answered if you sat down at the bench and fired the rounds in question back to back out of similar rifles.

    40X vs 541T vs Model 82 Gov

    I have one in the Boyd's tac stock. for whatever reason, it really does it for me. cain't miss with Wolf MT ammo, and it's not so heavy that it can't be toted in the woods.

    Interesting New Entry Level Rifle The Ruger American Predator

    18" .308 should be an interesting shorty.

    Best Youth Deer Rifle

    Rem 700 youth out of those choices. It's the solid choice, the .243 is near about the ideal whitetail-killa. don't go the snake oil route for his 1st rifle.

    typical 5 shot group with my home built 308 Savage.

    I've never had a rifle shoot a group like that, that wouldn't do the same thing more than once. In my experience it becomes obvious pretty quickly if a rifle is gonna be a shooter or not. but the sav vs. rem threads are always fun ... and FWIW, the rifle that I have that will put in the...

    Thinking about a .223 remington bolt gun. Have questions

    Genhawk: thats great shooting, especially in the wind. trust me, there will always be someone on here who will come along and tell you your groups suck.

    Thinking about a .223 remington bolt gun. Have questions

    For 200-350 yds, no question I'd go with the shorter barrel. I only recently discovered the .223, and now I wonder why I didn't have one years ago. In terms of general utility, plinking, target shooting, etc., it beats the .308 hands down (and I'm a pretty big .308 fan). The comparatively...

    Savage 110 fcp hs precision 300 win

    here's the sophisticated cheek piece on mine: I've since removed it. at the end of the day I decided that I'd rather mount a 40ish mm objective scope low and use the stock as-is rather than mod it for a hubble scope.

    My disappointing review of my TR .308

    Too much shoulder bump........?

    If you are loading for general utility and range shooting, there is nothing wrong with this. you did not "over bump it", you sized the case properly. No need to make the process any harder than it has to be. I like to leave the shoulder where there is just a little resistance as I close the...

    New FVSR accuracy issue?

    sometimes the ammo is the limiting factor, sometimes the gun is. an anschutz or a lilja-barreled rifle can take advantage of the most expensive match ammo. a savage ... maybe not. my savage shoots CCI SV and Wolf MT or ME about the same. I think people expect too much from a savage rimfire...

    CZ455 scope: Leupold Mark AR 3-9 TMR vs. 4-12 Mil-Dot

    one other thing to note is that the 4-12x leupold is a surprisingly compact unit. it actually has less mounting adjustment range than the 3-9x. I like the size of it, enough so that I've got two of them. but they might not work like you think on your setup unless you're using a rail

    CZ 455 Precision Trainer review

    ammo is not particularly easy to come by these days, but I have found that my CZ's greatly prefer Wolf to CCI SV. with your factory barrel and the lilja I would try a couple different ammo types to see what it can really do.

    Hunting & Fishing Do I really need a .300 Win Mag or will .30-06 be fine?

    this and this are pretty much a guarantee that you won't shoot it well. I think you should stick with .260 since it looks like you've already got one.
