    Savage 10 pc vs. Remington 700 ltr

    Re: Savage 10 pc vs. Remington 700 ltr The M10PC is very cheap for what it offers. Handle them and see what you think, pick which one you feel is better. One is not that much better than the other. Anyone running around ranting that they are is ignorant.

    Rifle Scopes Falcon dealer offering lifetime warranty

    Re: Falcon dealer offering lifetime warranty I've never understood why people buy something which is not reliable. I mean, you can get a reliable scope at that price point. You will have to do without some of the bling/fashion many want but they want it, Not need it. If you NEED it then you...

    I need 1" quality rings

    Re: I need 1" quality rings Steel is nothing more than a personal choice. There are quite a few decent ring makes around. I know I can have a quick look on these forums right now and find many threads showing them. Wasn't there an active broken TPS ring thread at the moment?

    Pod loc

    Re: Pod loc you might also have got one of the bad batch that was put out. It would be nice if those affected could have them replced before they break.... I would be waiting over 2 weeks, probably 3-4 for a replacment as I am OS.

    Dry Firing Practice...NEW snap-caps are sweet!

    Re: Dry Firing Practice...NEW snap-caps are sweet! NAME the "custom" actions which are so fragile they cannot be dry fired? Then we can all avoid them. Silicon is not making ANY difference. Some of the harder plastics might but again, if it's so fragile you have to do this sell is and buy...

    20" diameter steel plate

    Re: 20" diameter steel plate Are you "stuck" at 50%? If you are not getting better then it's time to find out why. Get your accurate .22Rf out and use it. Put some paper out and see how you are grouping. It is wind? What are you doing wrong? Pulling? I wouldnt spend money on a 2MOA target...

    Beginner rifle in 7.62x51?

    Re: Beginner rifle in 7.62x51? Your first gun should be a .22RF. Little you can't learn on it for not much cost. Buy something decent as you will have it for the rest of your life. Then look at your options. .223 fast twist or .308 gets you out to 1K. I like Savages for mutiple reasons...

    Electronic hearing protection

    Re: Electronic hearing protection I have a set of HL's and often need to use plugs as well. You gain the ability to amplify voice but I wouldn't expect never to have to use plugs.

    .308 best barrel length

    Re: .308 best barrel length 600, who cares Get what YOU want, what fits YOUR need. If you want to get out to 1K and further then keep it long. If you always have a short then keep it long. OTOH, if you are just shooting rocks and "stuff" then accuracy does not matter much which is why many...

    Gunsmithing micro slick

    Re: micro slick Action or barrel? There are low friction coatings which will last some time in an action. Not forever but some time. There are no easy to apply ones which will last in a barrel. If they were pushing to have you coat the barrel then you should let us know which monkey is...
