    700P in 300WM or Savage 338LM?

    there seems to be a lot of extras in the savage 338 for the price. same reason I went with a savage 10fcp-sr over a 5r milspec. one thing I will say, for what its worth, is I mentioned shooting a savage 338 on a different forum and was warned that they have seen a few issues with the guns not...

    Gunsmithing Want to learn to use mill/lathe

    I dove in head first with a harbor freight mill and jacked up $200 worth of custom engraved 80% lowers and a jig plate... sometimes that's the quickest way to learn as long as you don't tell the wife the actual cost of lost materials. just take lots of time, if you feel like youre moving...

    Rifle Scopes Recommendations for AR Scope

    I eally like the 1-4x scopes. it depends on what kind of shooting you want to do. I would only go with the 2.5-10x if I was going to do mostly bench shooting or hunting OR was going to run a secondary set of offset irons or a red dot. ive been eyeing the Vortex Viper PST in 1-4x for my AR...

    Custom Build ?

    I understand the desire for a custom build. Im just not there fully yet. You may be suprised to see what a decent remington 700 can do when set up properly, mostly bedding the base if needed, lapping the rings, etc. I stupidly sold my aac-sd model and ended up with a nice savage in another trade...

    Manners EH1 vs T2? few questions

    The savage works good for what I use it for now. I guess its like driving a mustang gt and wanting a mustang cobra :) I feel the stock is a weak point right now although I know my skill level isnt being held back by the stock. And the optic is a fixed 10x which is a bit high for my hunting...

    Manners EH1 vs T2? few questions

    the savage is a good rifle and shoots well. its a 10fcp-sr with a fluted heavy barrel and the accurate DBM system. its just not exactly what I want. I really wanted a R700 AAC-SD rifle when I found the savage. I just got a great deal on it in a trade. ultimately, I will end up with a Manners...

    Manners EH1 vs T2? few questions

    Got a response from manners. The eh1 is made from 100% carbon fiber and has a narrower forearm. Looking up online, I see that the factory aac-sd hogue stock is just shy of 2lbs and the eh1 is slightly less than that so it should make for one heck of a precision rig that I can still take to the...

    Manners EH1 vs T2? few questions

    I was planning on building a super heavy long range gun but have been rethinking it lately as I would like to use the build as a hunting rifle as well. now im not one to complain about humping a 12lb rifle around as I've done it for years with the military but im starting to debate lighter guns...

    Is going to .50bmg worth it?

    very interesting. I have been thinking about one of the AR uppers. will eventually mill out a single shot lower for one like my other 80% lowers so I don't run into issues with the extra power hammer springs on my .223 uppers.

    Best use of money for training

    i think training and reloading are quite different. you mentioned college rifle team so I think that's a good place to start from and such but a one on one with a good instructor will probably make the most of your efforts.

    Custom Build ?

    If youre really new, I wouldn't get caught up in a custom build until you know what you want/need. I am not trying to belittle you as I don't know your experience, just saying. I went through a few different factory Remington models and a savage I currently own. when I do my custom build in...

    30-06 shooters, in here...

    i have always tried to get a reliable hunting bullet with good accuracy and so far it seems one or the other. I have been looking at the 180gr NBT as it has pretty good numbers. that said, the 208 a-max seems very popular but I don't have any real experience with precision 30-06 yet. my 30-06...

    Hunting & Fishing “Need” a new hunting rifle – Deer & Elk

    ive been looking into a 30-06AI lately. saw a load that carries a 180 NBT over 1800fps to 600 yards, NBTs are designed to expand at 1800fps or above. getting really close to the 300WM at those levels. a quality sporter barrel and a manners ultralight hunting stock would be sweet.

    How would YOU build this rifle!?! Have fun.

    i would definitely go with a 30-06, maybe the AI as suggested as ive never researched the AI version. 1:10 varmint contour barrel in a 700P takeoff stock. 6-24x Viper PST with a seekins 20MOA base and rings. high end build would have a Razor HD or NXS scope, manners t2a, and maybe a m24...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Favorite revolver

    all I have is an old 1980 smith and Wesson model 19 in 357mag. it was passed down to my wife from her father. its a good shooter and has given me a new respect for the 357mag and revolvers. I have been interested in a 454 casull or some big caliber but just for fun.

    Evolution of a budget build

    the AAC-SD is a good shooting rifle. great looking project. will be trying to trade off my savage for another one. my budget build would consist of a 700P takeoff stock and a 2.5-10x Viper PST.
