    Winchester Super-X .22lr quality control

Here is a image of the kind of crap I am pulling out of 1 box. I'm not shooting this junk out of my rifle.. I contacted Winchester and lets see what...

    Gunsmithing I need a new safety dot.

    Got my barrel back from Savage and I think they forgot to remove the dot when they refinished my rifle.. Any suggestions on what i can use to fix this? The big hole you can see, but the hole goes all the way through into the receiver but smaller diameter. I was thinking of Fimo, but I would have...

    Made some targets to print out

    I was looking online and wasn't finding anything I wanted and the ones I did find print out like shit. Blurry lines and not really scaled to anything.

    Good cheek pad for Tacticool stock?

    Is there a good cheek pad for the Tacticool stock? Something black and that doesn't slide around too much. I was looking online and most seem to have shell holders for 308 rounds.. I don't need shell holders, just the cheek pad. Looking for strap on type and not anything I have to modify my...

    Rifle Scopes Weaver rings on Picatinny rail

    I want to get the Weaver Four Hole Skeleton Rings to mount on my Savage FV-SR Picatinny rail and was wondering how secure these rings will be compared to rings that are made for Picatinny rails? I know they will fit, but are they just as secure and durable as having Picatinny rings? I know...

    I have a Savage FV-SR and was wondering if anyone knows if I can paint the barrel and receiver without having to sand it down first? I emailed Duracoat and they said they don't know what the original finish is on the gun so they can't really give me and answer and just told me to sand it down...

    Gunsmithing Damaged Thread. Would you send this back?

    I just opened the box and this is what I see after removing the thread protector on my Savage Mark II FV-SR. Would you send this back to get repaired or would you just clean up the threads with a metal nail file and call it good or just leave it the way it is? The thread protector screws on and...
