    What Savage MK2 bolt parts to duracoat?

    I've put several hundred rounds through the gun and several hundred more bolt cyclings at home. There is a lot of missing bluing on different parts of the bolt. I plan on taking the gun out to the 50 yard line for another bulkpack worth of shooting this weekend and then send the necessary part...

    How do you break in your rimfire bolt action?

    Got my FV-SR a few weeks ago, and got the stock last week. Thinking about taking it to the range to get a few rounds through it. I have been working the action when I pulled it out for whatever reason, but still haven't shot it. What do you do to your new bolts? I don't have a torque wrench...

    Your favorite "high-capaciity" 10/22 magazines

    I have started getting parts ready for a bullpup build, but we haven't bought magazines since pre-Clinton. We have Butler Creek and some Eagle 30's. Was considering something user cleanable. What works for you, cleanable or not?

    LONG 10/22 barrel opinions

    Found a 29" 10/22 barrel used for $125. Only $25 less than new, but got me thinking. I know that the longer barrel will quiet things down, and since they come with a semi-match chamber, i thought it would be a welcome upgrade for subsonics without the stamp. Does anyone have one, and how do...

    Anyone have a multi barreled CZ455?

    Looking at it, I can buy a Savage MK2 for $250 a piece. Although I don't plan on going 17HMR, it's $500 for two MK2 FVs, or $471 for the CZ American combo. I don't know anything about a 17hm2 barrel, or setting back the hmr barrel, but it seems that 2-3 barrels on one action and one good...

    BSA vs. Primary Arms MIL/MIL scopes

    BSA Goods half mil hashes Lifetime warranty 91 MOA to the PA's 60 Primary Arms Goods 9'-30' FOV to BSA's 7.9-27.5 12.9" to BSA's 13.3 Can't find weight or focus for the BSA. As a Texan, the price would be $248 shipped for the PA, and whatever the BSA comes out to, so price is a wash. Plan is...

    Is it time for me to step up to the AR-10?

    I am in want of a brush gun (100-150 yards in the trees) for deer and pigs, and a long range shooter (1K range down the road at Best of the West). My thoughts have been on a 7.62x39 upper and a 6.5 Grendel upper. But, after checking the price of .243 ammo, I see it is the same price as decent...

    Night Vision Night vision for less than 50 yards

    Don't have the need for 400 yard shots on pigs and coyotes, just wanting something decent enough for airgun range, with or without an IR illuminator. I am not against spending more, just wondering if there is something I should be reading about that doesn't have 4 digits before the period.

    Post your rimfire/airgun kills

    Don't know if this should be here or the Hunting/Fishing section. Post up pics if you have them. Of course the rifle in the pic would make it that much better.

    10/22 buildup, or Savage FV-SR, and what ammo?

    Been thinking that I need another .22, guess it’s just that time of year. I was thinking about using “stovepipe” in the back of the safe as a base for a simple shooter, for subsonic backyard and hunting work. I have a 10/17 and a MK2 FV in .17hm2, so the supersonic hunting accuracy need is not...

    How much did you pay for your FV-SR?

    This last week, I have been thinking more and more that I want/need one. Doing the needed mods to the MK2 FV I have would add $100. So, how much did you pay for your FV-SR, and where and when did you get it?

    Hunting & Fishing Post your "SSS" guns

    After the feral cat thread, I got to wondering what everyone was using as pest control when the neighbor's don't need to know. Cans or no, rimfire, centerfire, air, or muscle, post up what you use.

    Are Intratec-22s any good?

    Been looking at Ruger Chargers for a while, then remembered a NIB Tec-22 in the back of the safe. it's got a threaded barrel, but as far as I know it hasn't been shot, just sat in the case.

    Which upper (first)?

    I say first because I will probably end up with them both and more. Trying to replace a sold 20" 7.62x39 and .308 bolt. The x39 is deeply imbedded in the family by way of ammo, SKSs, etc. Use will be up to pig/deer size game in Texas, and long range shooting when money and time allow me...

    Post your rimfire bolt knob pics

    A mk2 is on it's way to the FFL, just a lowly FV, and was looking around for bolt knobs/handles. Gun will get a EVO or Tacticool, and want to get something more formiddable attached.

    Rimfires' centerfire ballistic twins

    After hearing on and off that the .22lr at 100 yards is similar to the .308 at 600 or 80, I am wondering if anyone had other comparisons for the hm2, hmr, or wmr.

    Rifle Scopes BSA mil/mil FFP scope owners, how about an update?

    This is my first try with polls, so I hope they turn out okay. Alot of talk about the scope last year around Christmas, but I haven't heard alot since. I have PMed some people, and most seem to be happy with what they have. Please fill out the polls, and tell us anything else you would like...

    Did you sell your 10/22s after buying a .22 upper?

    Been going back and forth on PCP airgun or rimfire plus can, and have been interested in getting a decent upper because most of my other guns are uppers as well. Since, like every other shooter in the US, I have some 10/22s, i was wondering if anyone had gotten rid of their 10/22s after...

    Hunting & Fishing Insurance shot?

    I was just in the safari forum on another board, and thought I would see what people here thought. Do you shoot them again in the head for good measure, or just give them a poke?
