    Hunting & Fishing Conservationist(rhino hunt winner) Faces Death Threats

    I was surprised that CNN and Piers gave him as fair a shake as they did.

    Hunting & Fishing A couple of head shots with a suppressed 300 BO

    awesome! definitely a no-tracking job. re: the stock, I did something similar with my salvage hawg hunter. the factory stock is junk (possibly worse than the hogue), so I had obtained a B&C medalist tactical replacement model. but, alas, the B&C boat anchor ensured that the hawg hunter was...

    Savage guys??? Which savage to buy??

    although I've seen some posts on here where guys made an Axis work, I would generally avoid it as a rule if you are planning to build on it. the model that would work if you are planning to just part it out is the cheapest Stevens 200 you can find or older used savage (i.e., with a side bolt...

    Savage 12 LRP 260 for a 8yr old??

    thats what I thought. I can see you getting an LRP for yourself and letting her shoot it, but if it's gonna be "her" rifle it seems like there are immensely better choices out there.

    Remington 700 Bolt Lug marks/scrapes

    I think it's fine. unless you're just wanting to spend the $$ to get it blueprinted, which is ok too. the finish that they put on these factory 700's is not particularly durable, I would expect there to be shiny spots like that. if its like many factory 700's, it wasn't bearing evenly on the...

    Remington 700 Bolt Lug marks/scrapes

    the gun is fine. the bolt head may have been scraping before you ever loaded the tight-fitting cartridges. also, don't go crazy on the full length resizing. Having a cartridge that is a close fit to your chamber is generally considered a good thing, accuracy-wise. If you push the shoulder...

    Does B&C stock mean improved accuracy?

    my hawg hunter grouped well even with the factory tuppeware. upside of the factory tuppeware is that it makes the rifle more portable. downside is that the factory tuppeware is absolute dook. the B&C makes it much more comfortable to shoot from the bench, and it doesnt feel like a cheap toy...

    .223 Savage bolt rifle question

    the Hornady 75 HPBT ain't a bad substitute, and Midway had em in stock last I checked.

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    excellent question of course. while I would like to think that my skills are so certain that the b' cat was already dead when I stepped into the woods, in reality it was never simultaneously alive and dead. the 504-T, though, is about as certain as death and taxes. its limited only by the...

    this 455 is a head-shootin sonuva gun. 504-T is a good head-shooter too.

    16" 300 Win Mag - interesting article

    call me the odd one out, but all this article shows me is that i'd want at least a 24" barrel on a .300 win mag. 12" of windage difference at 1000 is significant, as is 300 fps, especially if you're getting it for less noise and muzzle jump, and no additional recoil or powder expended. mine...

    First Post! M40A3 revelation!

    I think a lot of shooters tend to obsess about the ideal size and weight of a rifle, myself included. My guess is that you're probably going to end up going even shorter/lighter than an M40A1. there's a reason the various 20" barrel .308's are such big sellers. also, thanks for your...

    First time out, 700 Milspec 5R 308 PICS

    nice work there. ive got some el cheapo caldwell bags just like those that ive been using for something like a decade now. they hold together ... with duck tape. a factory remington heavy barrel .308 will typically just flat out shoot. looks like yours is doing exactly what its supposed...

    this might cause me to lose whatever little credibility I ever had, however small, but ... I don't think savages are ugly.

    New Savage 10 owner - short throat blues?

    T: FWIW, my "short throat" 10PC shoots the 168 sierra match kings like a champ. Give the 168 FGMM ammo a try and see what you think.

    New Savage 10 owner - short throat blues?

    That's a reasonable theory, that they put some "freebore" in there for just such a purpose. I have seen the savages marketed as ".223/5.56" on some websites, although savage doesn't list em that way on its homepage.
