    F T/R Competition f classs in Wisconsin

Close to me is Winnequah as described above, and about two hours drive west from me is La Crosse with a 600 yard range. I just shot at the State Mid-Range in La Crosse last weekend, and go over on...

    Has anyone tried the Midway USA Sniper's Drag Bag?

    MikeH - Yep, 26inch barrel, just over 47inch total length. SWFA 5-20HD scope on top. Fits in the 50inch Midway bag with one inch or a little more room to spare. It does carry nose heavy though, like the video above mentioned. Otherwise I trust it to protect my gear going back and forth to...

    Has anyone tried the Midway USA Sniper's Drag Bag?

    I also have one of the Midway dragbags. I use it to carry my F-TR rifles to and from the range, no real hard use. No problem fitting 26 inch barreled, tactical style stocked rifle with a large objective scope in the bag. I carry my chamber flags, scoring clipboard, small towels, mirage...

    Savage MK2 Tactical Trainer in Viperskins

    I like how that turned out. It looks like it came from the factory in that chassis. Let us know how it works once you get it bedded, and some rounds down range.

    F T/R Competition Enjoyed my weekend.

    I was shooting at the F-Class / Highpower Regionals this weekend in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. The wind was a little tricky for me, and it got a little warm (94F). We were shooting at 600yrds, 160 shots for record, shot over Saturday & Sunday. I was using a Savage action, with a 28inch...

    Gunsmithing Home built Tubegun Chassis

    upjeeper - I don't have it anodized yet, and would be interested. Unfortunately, I just put my new 308 barrel on, and want to shed some of the wait from the stock. So it will be going back on the mill, and in the lathe for some work. I will PM you when I get it "finished", and see if we could...

    Gunsmithing a little savage bolt knob shadetree gunsmithing

    Re: a little shadetree knob gunsmithing on my savage That turned out perfect. Did you loctite it on, or use something else to make it permanent? I see the spacer on the rear screw. Did you use the thrust bearing for bolt lift? How much did that help with the lift?

    New guy looking for cheap 308 build advice

    Re: New guy looking for cheap 308 build advice Check out Jim Briggs from Northland Supply. Not sure what he has in stock currently, but he does sell actions, barrels, stocks, and some other parts. You could skip throwing out a stock that you never wanted by just getting your action and...

    Gunsmithing Savage recoil lug, and head spacing ? for 338edge

    Re: Savage recoil lug, and head spacing ? for 338edge I would get a new recoil lug. The factory one is stamped out, and not flat / parallel. Long as your going to have the barrel off, you might as well fix that. Most of the aftermarket lugs are around 1/4" thick, and should be surface...

    Gunsmithing Home built Tubegun Chassis

    Re: Home built Tubegun Chassis This is basically just a stock for the Savage actions that I have. I did consider someone at the range or whatever getting excited about not being able to view the S/N, and have a window machined through the tube so it is visible. You can see it in this pic...

    McGowin barrel ?

    Re: McGowin barrel ? I also bought a 223 barrel from Jim a few years back. Mine is a 26 inch, 8 twist, varmint contour. It has always cleaned easy, with little to no copper showing. I have run 52, 53, 55, 69, 75, and 77 grain bullets through it. The 55gr were just cheap bulk and shot...

    Gunsmithing Home built Tubegun Chassis

    Re: Home built Tubegun Chassis csdilligaf - The action fits with a slight resistance for 360degrees of support. It gets seated firmly against the recoil disk, then the action screws lock it in solid. Here are some of the benefits, except of course number 3...
