    CZ Tacticool

    I honestly haven't seen one for sale since I got mine, but I know they're out there: I really like the rifle, other than the trigger pull. it's about 4.25 lbs, which ain't terrible for a CZ, but it has creep and it's inconsistent. Anyway, mine seems to spray the CCI SV ammo, but it can...

    Hunting & Fishing Why Guns and Ammo HATES the .308

    Yes. I'm always amused when it is announced that big boomers are needed to kill deer. My experience is that a diminutive .250 savage has the uncanny knack of killing them every time.

    Hunting & Fishing Why Guns and Ammo HATES the .308

    "Outside 250 yards, however, performance becomes questionable" Article lost me right here, that's a ridiculous statement. here's another gem: "The .30-06 and .270 both have long necks ideal for use with heavy-for-caliber, aerodynamic bullets ..." There are repeated statements that the...

    Warning- Anschutz 54 rifles not safe to dry fire

    A CZ rimfire can be dry fired, and a ruger rimfire can be dry fired. I have dry fired my Savage rimfire with no damage, but I don't make a practice out of it. Make your own decisions about how comfortable you are with it, but it's not a universal rule that rimfires cannot be dry-fired. Almost...

    My new 1/2 mile coyote whacker

    Very cool. It's nice seeing ppl building .22-250's with the RIGHT twist so they can run the heavies.

    Caliber selection for 650yd steel matches

    not really, although it is somewhat better than the original tuppeware stocks. It is definitely more portable than the more dedicated target/tactical stocks, but that's where the "advantages" end. About the only options for stock replacement of this model are a Manners or McMillan. I sort of...

    1997 Remington 700 BDL Varmint Special .243

    not to completely dissuade you from the timney, but the old style remmy trigger on that rifle can be tuned up VERY nicely by a competent gunsmith. I have a '97-98 vintage Sendero, and a gunsmith tuned it to the proverbial "breaks like glass" stage at just under 3 lbs. total cost was about $75...

    700 Long action just sitting around :'(

    since you axed, if it was my remington 700 LA, I would do the following: .30-06, 22-24" sendero contour (23"?), McMillan HTG stock. Basically a lighter M40A1 in .30-06. Shoot whatever you would have in the .308, + 180's, 190's, 208's. I'm biased, though, cause that's a rifle I want to build...

    Savage 10TR .308 - What is this thing?

    Only difference is that FV has 26" barrel, FP has 22" barrel. The price difference I see is around $50-100, depending on where you're buying. I think a better deal than either one is the .223 Hawg Hunter, which is $200-250 cheaper than the FP. That's enough to get a bell/carlson replacement...

    Best all round .308 barrel length?

    I've got a 26" 700P and a 20" Savage PC. The 26" is better at the range, 20" is better for huntin. Simple as that. The extra 6" doesn't give just a tremendous amount of additional velocity over the 20", but it does give some. Depends on the load, of course, but there can be 100 fps+ of...

    Quality Spring Air Rifle in .22 Caliber

    After going all the way up to a Beeman R1, I have settled into using an HW50S and an R7 almost exclusively. I think for target shooting in the back yard, you can't beat the R7. It is light and portable, and the recoil is so negligible that you can really shoot some tight groups with it. A...

    Accutrigger issue

    the trigger on my 10PC locks up like this if I slam the bolt down. It breaks at about 2.25 lbs. I believe it is just a "safety" feature of the design, and it won't be as likely to occur if you adjust to a heavier trigger pull

    Is it me, or the rifle?

    not to dissuade the OP from trying various seating depths, but I doubt he'll be able to get to the lands in a factory 700 short action in .308. Mine has a loooong throat, and I don't think it is atypical. usually not gonna be able to get too far away from 2.8" COAL and still have the rounds...

    AAC-SD shoots like $hit after 10 shots per range visit.

    I can't imagine that H414 is gonna do anything good in terms of temp stability. I've usually seen a bigger difference changing bullets than changing powders. FWIW, a couple of my rifles are giving me fits in this heat too.

    How come 7mm rem mag isn't more popular

    the reason for this is that the "typical" whitetail deer hunter that uses a 7mm mag, or a 300 mag, never shoots the thing unless they are shooting at game. can't handle the recoil at the bench. as a result, a single box of 20 rounds can last a long time. no offense intended toward those who...

    Remington Commemorative USMC M40 Question

    Am I reading the SWFA page correctly, are they offering the special M40 Badger rings and mount again? I wish I had picked up one of the Commemoratives while they were still somewhat available NIB. Bout the only replica going these days is the Mawhinney M40, which is a little beyond my pay grade.

    Lightest high quality rifle possible

    agree 100% with that.

    .300 Win. Mag

    I like the .300 mag. Get a rem 700 police, 5r, or sendero, or a savage 110FCP with the HS stock, add sierra 190 MK's and H4831 or R22, or 208 amaxes and H1000. It will work like a champ. I need a brake to shoot it for any amount of time at the bench, YMMV. I went with the Savage 110 and have...

    Light Recoil Bolt Rifle for the Wife

    Like everyone is saying, .243. I have been taking deer with a .250 savage lately, which is even a little less gas than the .243. I would not suggest a real heavy rifle for her to hunt with, she will not want to carry it anywhere. a compact, lightweight sporter that recoils lightly and doesn't...
