    7mm mag or 7mm practical?

    I'd only recommend any WSM if your action is custom short/intermediate or long. I got to run out a couple short mags in 700 actions and hated how every single one of them fed. So, 7RM or 300wm would be my advice

    Five year old kills sister with "My First Gun"

    I was growing up and knew exactly where I could find a loaded 1911 or 38 snub at any time in my parents room. Never shot anyone. There is no black and white answer here. It depends on the amount of information you've given the kid, and it depends on the kid. These parents miscalculated by...

    Looking for a takedown rifle.

    Yea, the Covert would be hard to beat for real world use. If I was looking at a "bug out" rifle that needed to pack down, and the action I chose did not have a quick attach barrel... I'd either look at a bolt gun with a pinned 14-14.5" barrel and suppressor mount, or more likely probably a SCAR...

    Battle Rifle Optic Choice??? GO...

    Not for nothing, but as the owner of an EXPS2, I have to say, I'll never get another carbine optic that is over 5oz complete. There is a NOTICABLE difference between my carbine with the EOTech on it and without. I'm probably going to sell it to replace with a H1/T1. The PRO weighs pretty much...

    Why do they all look like wax figures? That's a very strange photo

    Lead Sled for load development?

    Sounds about right to me. The only person I've ever known to just love them is this guy that works with me. He brings it "hunting" in case he might be able to shoot from on top or in the bed of his truck. Kind of a dummy actually. I've tried endlessly to explain that proper technique, a bipod...

    Leupold RX1000

    Does anyone use the drop call built into the range finder? I'm looking at a 1000 and a 1000 with the drop calc, I doubt I'd use it other than it does seem very fast for a reading even if not as accurate as software or dope.

    AICS or mcmillian or manners for my savage action?

    I'd say AICS and I'd you get tired of the thumb hole just switch to the pistol grip skins.

    Lead Sled for load development?

    Agreed 100% I have a coworker that I've seen waste time and ammo dicking around with thing instead of practicing how he'll actually shoot his gun.

    Timney Trigger a worth the time upgrade?

    I had a Timney on my AR that I HATED so very much, so I. A little biased against the name. But on a 700 I bet it's just fine. As it were I'm a big Dan of 2-stage triggers now.

    Looks good. I don't even need to ask to know we are well outside of my budgets in this post :)

    Battle Rifle Optic Choice??? GO...

    Must disagree. Broke 2 Votrex SPARCs. They are NOT a replacement for an aimpoint micro. Not at all.

    Which bubble level is right for me? (List of available parts and issues with each inside)

    I did that, he won't have them for sale for 3-5 weeks, and even then won't be cheap but I can deal with that if it's the "right" part for me.
