Had to alter my name a bit. It is now MetalGear556.

Thanks. I hope they do a good job on mine and get it right the first time. If not I will probably just pay the money for a gunsmith to do it. The rifle is currently in transit to Savage. I will update this thread with the progress.

I'm sad to say my Savage 10FCP-k in 308 has dissapointed me and is heading to Savage for repair. Love the rifle, but it either has a short throat or too tight of a free bore, or maybe something different that is causing my issues. From what I have been told the rifle is designed around...

This is a common issue with magazines loaded full to 30 rounds. For this reason I tend to keep mine at 27-28 rounds. I have been to a couple tactical carbine courses where they also recommend loading a couple under the max limit. Even with 28 rounds loaded and a closed bolt, I still have to be...

Welcome to the Hide. Your rifle will serve you well and definitely get your foot in the door to the precision shooting world. I really enjoy shooting my Savage 10fcp-k in 308, Savage makes great rifles. One thing I have learned since getting hit with the long range precision bug is that a...

With cheaper bulk pack 22lr, over the years I have experienced misfires, hangfires, and squib loads. A misfire may occur from a poor or misplaced primer, or your firearm may of had a light primer strike. You can certainly try that round again and see if it works.

A local store has Hornady 17HMR Vmax for $11 for 50 rounds from time to time here, and when they do I stock up. It is certainly cheaper than 223. For what it's worth my Savage 93R17 in 17HMR is somewhat of a trainer rifle for me that transitions well to when I shoot my Savage 10FCP-K in 308...

They had a free shipping sale on all orders that ran for about a week that just ended yesterday. If you have social media like Facebook, I would "friend" them as they often times post their limited time promotions they have such as free shipping.

Keep an eye out for the 55gr 223 from them. I have no doubt they will have some back in stock within a week or two. Everytime they have their free shipping offers their stock on 223 seems to sell out.

I have a few AR500 targets all 3/8" in thickness. Over the years I have put lots of 5.56 into them and from my experience here is what I can tell you. With XM193 you are good to go at 100 yards. At 100 yards XM193 may sometimes put a barely noticable tiny dimple into the steel target. Now with...

I have been using the "rabbit ear" style rear bags for a few years and though they work well for some situations, it leaves me wanting to try something different. I am going to order a Triad tapered rear bag "wedgie" and see how I like it.

+1 on getting a 20 MOA base, nothing to lose with getting one, and like mentioned if the opportunity comes to shoot at longer distance you will have that extra little bit of elevation if you need it. I have a Savage 10FCP-k in 308 Win, and I went with an EGW 20 MOA HD base and Vortex rings...

You should be fine with it. I've been to a carbine course where a guy was using a 20" A2 style AR15 and did well.

Kimber Stainless Target II 9mm NIB No CC Fees 9 mm : Semi Auto Pistols at GunBroker.com This definitely is one of the harder to find models.

Agree with this ^^^^^^^^ I will also throw out the suggestion of putting a penny on your front sight every now and then when you dry fire at home. Don't let the penny fall off the front sight as you are pulling the trigger back. This is a good trick for ensuring you have a nice steady grip...

I plan on making a few visits to TVP next year for sure (haven't been yet).

I would love to hear more on Griffin M4SDII supressors. I have been using their M4SDII Flash Comp on one of my AR's for a couple years now and have nothing but good things to say about it. I am hoping to purchase a suppressor by early next year, and they are on the top of my list.

So let me get this strait, you're accusing me of "blowing smoke" or "making up bullshit"?

I understand reality very well. I stated earlier of there being a risk that Century did something wrong during the build. I rolled the dice and it has payed off with well over 6k rounds through it thus far. And like I said, performance based it is no different than what my Arsenal was that I...

Ouch that's terrible, sorry to hear you got one hell of a lemon from them. I would call them and ship it back to them for a free repair. I've only benched mine and shot for groups a couple times, but I was hovering around 3 moa using Golden Tiger ammo. I feel that is plenty accurate for the...
