    Remington XHR

    I see Remington's ""triangular wonder" XHR has been discontinued. Does that pretty much summarize the triangular barrel experience?

    Savage? give me some luv, please

    I need a longer range 300WM. Have always hunted everything with a 300WM Winchester Model 70 in a McMillan Featherweight stock. Found a Savage BVSS and it looks very workable. I just need to have a couple of Savage folk tell me how good it is in real life. Thanks

    Barrel length?

    I'm looking at a Rem 541-T with a shortened barrel.(17"). After doing a search here and reading a length/velocity experiment at Rimfire Shooting, it looks like the short barrel might improve handling with no significant detrimental effects on velocity or accuracy. Have I missed anything obvious?

    FN SPR A5A

    One of these popped up locally and it seems to be a good combination. Does anyone have any experience with one of these. I think it's simply a threaded 20" FN SPR in a McMillan A5, which isn't shabby. Thanks

    300 WinMag Neanderthal ?

    I keep coming back to my old 300 WinMag. I know, the 6.5x284s, the 7mags etc all shoot flatter, faster,and maybe buck the wind better, and the 300 Ultramags shoot faster and louder. I'm stuck on the 300 WinMag because it works for me. I can shoot my .308 SSG out to 600 or so, but the 300 WinMag...

    Steyr SSG PI

    I've had this rifle for a while but just started shooting it. I put an old 4-14 Vari-XIII on it and am amazed by how well it shoots. I'll have to work really hard to outshoot it. How much better then this old low-tech warhorse are the new breed? Will a normal(questionable in my case) guy shoot...
