    New Savage 10 owner - short throat blues?

    my savage precision carbine, which is a 2009-2010 vintage, also has a short throat in .308. i handload, though, so its not an issue working around the problem. my .223 hawg hunter, otoh, has a very long throat like boilerup mentioned. also have a 110 in .300 mag that came with a long...

    22 Trainers?

    How about a CZ 455 heavy barrel in a boyd's tacticool: it's quite a shooter with Wolf MT (50 yd target)

    Tikka T3 .243

    unfortunately, Tikka has already dropped the .223 to a 1-10" twist.

    Remington 700 SPS Long Range

    I don't think they're gonna happen. You'd want to chunk the factory tuppeware anyway and turn it into a sendero. Might as well just start with the Sendero in the 1st place

    Is anyone shooting .25's?

    I do a lot of shooting with a .250 savage bolt gun. I shoot flat base 87 and 100 g softpoints. very soft shooting rifle, great for deer. I consider its practical range on whitetail to be around 200 yds for these projectiles.

    Remington 700 Police - talk me out of buying one

    yep, agree with this. Mine shoots great out of the box, I've afraid to monkey with anything. I don't even want to mess with the factory torque settings on the stock.

    Remington 700 Police - talk me out of buying one

    well, the short answer is that the varmint profile is more useful to more people than a truck axle M40/M24. don't knock it til ya try it, my 700P is a real shooter right out of the box. However ... that being said, I see posts come up enough about M24-profile factory offerings ... there's...

    Remington 700 Police - talk me out of buying one

    yep, and they typically shoot well. I don't think you can beat 'em for $900. only thing I don't like is the 26" barrel, I'd prefer 24" or even 22". whether you like a stock or not is a very personalized issue. I really like the HS stock on the 700p. Fits me well, and I like the palm swell...

    Hunting & Fishing Best 308 bullet for deer

    how much do you want to spend? Try the Federal "Premium" loaded with the 165 sierra game king. it would honestly be a lot harder for you to find a factory .308 loading that is bad for deer than to find one that's good for deer.

    Remington standard varmint contour in a B&C Alaskan Ti stock.

    interesting idea ... I think it could be done if you'd hog the barrel channel out. the issue is, as stated above, balance. you'd either have to chop the length way down, or reduce the contour. how much you'd have to reduce the barrel length to get decent balance, I don't know

    CZ Tacticool Thoughts for Xmas present??

    the tacticool version is more portable than the manners, and significantly less expensive. I would say the Manners is probably superior in every other respect. It doesn't feel like a kid's stock to me (I also have a 455 american, and the stock on it has even smaller dimensions), however, this...

    .300 Win Mag Brass

    300 mag brass hasn't always been this elusive, but its pretty bad right now. 300 wsm, too. i'm not hoarding, but I do pick up a bag of 50 where I can find them. p.s. 300 mag brass scarcity doesn't have to do with military demand, its the fact that 300 mag owners are stockpiling all the...

    Looking for friendly advice on a bolt gun

    That's not bad advice. You could pick up the 5r and an SWFA 3-15x, then use whatever is left on the mount and rings. GTG.

    AGS: what cartridge is your mod 10 predator? I've got almost the exact same thing in a .243, right down to the warne rings.
