    Reticle Ranging On The Cheap

    I want to practice reticle ranging and don't want to pull my scope off my rifle. I was looking at perhaps the Vortex Solo R/T for $120 or the Bushnell version for $200. But I was wondering of they work well for that at 8/10x and if the graduations are too small. From the PDF I can't tell if the...

    Lapua Brass Lots...

    Hey, experts. I used to use Winchester brass when shooting 308 and noticed quite a bit of difference from different lots of brass. I just moved to a new rifle in 260 and bought 300 Lapua cases and looking to pick up more, but wondering if I need to keep the first lot of cases separate from the...

    RE19 for 260?

    Looks like I'm going to have to try to make RE19 work for my new 24" 260 and was wondering if anyone has used it with any luck in this caliber? I have new Lapua brass and 142 SMK's. I don't see anything on starting and max charges and was curious if there was a good OCW or known load with this...

    22" or 24" Barrel in .260?

    Hey experts, I'm getting my first .260 rifle built and I'm trying to decide what size to go with for my new barrel length. Would the extra FPS of a 24" be worth the extra weight and less maneuverability than going with 22"? This rifle will be used for tactical long range matches and will be...

    8208 XBR and 142 SMK in 260?

    I've been searching around and haven't found much with XBR and 142 SMK's in 260. Has anyone tried this? Any info on start/max charge weights? Muzzle velocities? OAL's? BTW, Lapua brass, 22" Bartlein barrel from 700 SA. It seems that H4350 is pretty much the defacto power, but I am not able...

    Case Gauge Recommendations

    I'm switching to 260 and getting all new dies, etc. But I need a new case gauge and was looking for recommendations. Midway has a LE Wilson 260 chamber gauge for $26 but wanted to check here first before buying anything and see what you all thought. What are you using for 260? Thanks!

    Savage Feed Issue

    I've been searching for anyone else who has this issue and didn't seem to find one so sorry if I missed a post. But I just got my new Savage 10FCP-K in 308 out to the range and happy to report it's a shooter. But I did discover that it has a problem with getting jammed up when feeding a new...

    Seating Depth and Savage Short Action

    He experts, I just picked up a Savage 10 FCP-K in 308 and will start working up a load for it using XBR, Wichester brass, 155 Scenars, and BR2s. I'm coming over from the Remington 700 where length wasn't an issue since my AI mags were the limit of my cartridges not the long throat of the 700...

    Savage and Timney

    Hey experts, I need a little help here. I just ordered a FCP-K and want to order a Timney trigger for it. I'm a little stumped on which one I need. I think it's the 638-16 but wasn't sure. Can anyone confirm? And it looks like they only offer the guts of the trigger which means I need to "smith"...

    FCP-K What size?

    I just ordered a SAVAGE 10FCP-K 308 and want to order a Mccree for it. I don't know what size screws to answer for the order. It asks for Stagger feed/4.275 or Center feed/4.400. I want to use my existing AI mags from my 700 so I'm not sure what to order. You guys know? Many thanks!

    AA2230 and XM193

    I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to match the XM193 with AA2230 and if so, how many grains did you use. TIA

    700's and Helos

    I competed in a match recently that had a helo stage (first time shooting from a helicopter for me) and had an issue with my SA 700. Every time I'd rack the bolt the spent case would wind up back in the chamber 180 degrees off. I didn't see it happen but I'm guessing the rotor's wind blew it...

    Rifle Scopes H-27 or H-58?

    Hey experts, trying to figure out my next scope and was looking at a few different options. One of them is the Leupold Mark 4 ERT 6.5-20x50 34mm w/Locking Turrets and it's offered with the H27 and the H58. Which would you suggest I go with and why? This will be on my competition rifle, so...

    Rifle Scopes NF and Horus

    I see on the NF site they offer a Horus reticle but I haven't been able to find one. I would like a 5x22 FFP MIL/MIL with a Horus 58 (or even better the H37) but haven't seen anyone selling them. Know where to get one? And it's hard to tell, but is one finer than the other (H58 vs. H37)? At...

    New rail with no difference. Any suggestions?

    Hey experts, I need to pick your brains again. I had a Savage MKII FVXP that I wanted to turn into a trainer for my 700. So the project begins. I bought an EGW 20 MOA rail and Burris XTR medium rings for the Centerpoint 4-16x scope that was already on it. I also bought a Boyd's Tacticool stock...

    Gunsmithing Timney Trigger Default Pull Weight?

    I just received my Timney 510 trigger for my 700 in the mail today and was wondering if anyone knew what the default pull weight was since I don't have a trigger gauge. Did any of you make any adjustments to yours? Thanks!

    Gunsmithing Torque w/Badger?

    I just got my B&C Medalist back from Badger who inlet it for the M5 bottom metal and was wondering if the new setup would change what torque settings I should use to attach the action to the stock. What would you suggest? Thanks for the help!

    New Stock. Send it back?

    I just got my Boyd's Tacticool stock and noticed that the bull barrel of my Savage touches on one side and the two front sling studs are slightly off center which causes my rifle to cant when using my bipod. So is this par for the course with the Tacticool and I should just open up the barrel...

    Improving the Savage FV

    Hey experts, I have a Savage FV that does pretty well at the 50 but I want to start shooting it at the 200/300 yard range. I know there's room for improvement so I wanted to know what you guys do to improve your Savages. The obvious choice is to trash the POS stock. I just ordered the Tacticool...

    Which Stock?

    I want to change the stock on my Savage MKII FV so it will be as close as my 700 which is in a B&C Medalist. I was looking at either the Savage TR stock or the Boyd's Tacticool. Is one better than the other? Just wondering which one to get to replace the POS that came with the Savage. What do...
