    Two diy raised cheek piece projects - fiberglass & laminate work

    I've posted these threads over in the DIY section, but I thought I'd share them here as well. I did the Bell & Carlson awhile back and have been completely happy with the end product. With the purchase of a Boyd's Tacticool stock for my son's match rifle, we quickly found out that we had to...

    Downsizing - ditching a bolt to go solo with the SCAR 17

    Not sure I'm even thinking straight, but here goes. . . I built up a Savage 308 for match use and finally got it where I want it. 10FP, 26" barrel, customized Bell & Carlson stock, Atlas bipod, and a Steiner 3-12X. It'll do about 3/8" when I do my part. My son and I have be sharing it to...

    Rifle Scopes Fixed SWFA 12X for 100-600 yard local matches?

    My son (13) and I have been competing in local club matches over the past two years or so. He, at times, outshoots me which is somewhat demoralizing. But hey, I can claim he had a good teacher, right? The matches start out at 100 yards shooting 1 MOA dots, we then shoot from 200-450 yards...

    Bell and Carlson Tactical Medalist to McMillan A5 - Stock Mod Turorial

    I posted the following over on the DIY page. Until recently I never ventured over there so I though some of you in the bolt gun crowd may enjoy this and find some inspiration for your own projects. Take a look see . . ...

    From Bell & Carlson Tactical Medalist to McMillan A5 . . . my stab at stock modification.

    Recently, I modified the Bell and Carlson Tactical Medalist stock that my Savage 10fp has been living in for the past year or so. Immediately after buying the stock, I bedded the action and was satisfied with job that I did. I’ve been able to print groups in the ½” to ¾” range with it...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark AR for a 22 l.r.

    I'm looking to scope my Savage Mark II. Since I may use the rifle in CMP matches I want to go with a lighter weight scope. One that made the list was the Leupold Mark AR 4-12x. Its less than a pound, has an adjustable objective, and looks like a nice fit. Ranges will be 25 and 50 yards and...

    Rifle Scopes Hankering for Better Glass - Ditch a SWFA 5-20x to go with a US Optics 10x?

    I'm no glass snob by any stretch of the imagination. But, I'd like to be one. My most expensive scope to date is a SWFA 5-20x. For years I'd been happy with Bushnell Elites (first the 3200s then the 4200s) and bought one Zeiss Conquest. The wife gave me the green light to spend a bit more...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 2.5-10x, 3-9x for now?

    I've been searching for an optic to mount on my SCAR 17. I need something in the 2.5-10x range, think Nightforce Compact but FFP. I know Vortex offers one one in SFP too, but I'm a fan of the SWFA line-up. I want SWFA to build one with HD glass, mil quad reticle, single screw turrets, option...

    Rifle Scopes Optics choice for my situation

    If you were me, what would you do? Lets assume that you're using your SCAR 17 to shoot matches from 100-600 yards (all prone for now). You want to keep the rifle relatively lightweight so you've added a Harris Bipod (looking to get an Atlas in the future), you're not adding a rail extension...

    Rifle Scopes Which Nightforce Compact for my use?

    Looking to replace the SWFA 1-6x that I put on top of my SCAR 17. While preparing for a local scoped rifle match, I've noticed that I'd like to have a bit more magnification. While I've posted some nice groups, both at 100 and out to 500 yards with the 1-6x, I want more magnification. I'm...

    Sling install?

    Not too long ago I took a carbine class where instructors had the rear of the 2-point sling attached to the off-side of the buttstock. They explained that it allowed you to shoot off the support side shoulder without having to unsling. I tried it and I'm sold. My question - I'm about to...

    Gunsmithing Stock modification ideas wanted

    I recently puchased a B&C Tactical Medalist for a Savage build in .308. I'm looking at the stock as a blank canvas as I search the web and get modification ideas. I'd like to see how folks have modified their stocks to suit their individual needs. Things like: shortened l.o.p., raised cheek...

    Rifle Scopes One scope, two rifles . . . . will it work for me?

    I posted this question over on another forum, but I wanted to get some additional input here. I've decided that the 3-9X scope that used to top my in-line muzzle loader, set up on a T/C Encore, was just a bit too much scope for that gun. At the same time I was also looking at re-scoping my...

    Modifying a Tactical Medalist (add a sling too)

    I'm about ready to ramp up work on a Savage 10FP that I'll be stocking with a B&C Tactical Medalist. I saw a vid on youtube where a guy had cut off the "wings" on the front of the stock. I don't plan on shooting the rifle off of bags much so I'd be willing to chop 'em off as well. Anyone...

    Muzzle brake for competition use?

    My local range is ramping up for more and more scoped rifle matches. I'm in the process of putting together a Savage in .308 for that very purpose. Maximum distance will be 600 yards. I foresee several shooters at a time proned out on the line for most of the matches. What I don't want to...

    QD Flush Cups

    I'm planning on a Bell and Carlson Tactical Medalist for my Savage build. Considering a side mounted sling in flush cups. Any recommendations or pics for ideas? I was looking at Uncle Mike's QD 100s at Brownells as I could get a 10 pack of the cups for later installs.

    Rifle Scopes Talk me out of using Warne bases & rings.

    I'm currently putting together the gear needed to outfit a Savage 10FP that I'm getting soon from a friend. I already have a scope - SWFA SS 5-20X - that'll top it off once they start filling their backorders. So . . . . I'm completely sold on the Warne Maxima bases and rings. Stout, nice...

    Savage a better deal?

    Had my heart set on a Remington 700 SPS Tactical or AAC. But, I have a friend that has a Savage in 308 with the 20" tube and the factory plastic stock. I can't remember if it is accutrigger or pre-accutrigger. Anyhow, he wants to sell it but there is one issue. He mounted the two piece...

    Was gonna go semi-auto, now its a bolt gun.

    My local club has "scope rifle" matches with three different classifications - vintage, hunter/sporter, and unlimited. Max distance for the match (and the limit for ourl local range) is 600 yards. I've competed in these matches previously with my 1903A4 clone. Did quite well too. But...
