    Hunting & Fishing Savage 99C lever action 7-08

    A friend of mine has one of these rifles which turns out to be pretty rare especially since it is a 7-08. He is looking to sell it and was curious to your guy's opinions. It is in relatively great shape. The only flaw I found was very slight rust on the action. Otherwise, it is perfect. Not bad...

    Need advice for new/used economy car. *Update

    As the title says I am in the market for a new economy car. I have been driving a 98 Monte Carlo LS I got for 2800 bucks in 2005. Its been a great car but after painfully replacing the rusty ball joints/tie rods to only have the engine start ticking very badly upon a oil change, I just do not...

    Med student needs some help finding some credible gun/crime stats.

    I wasn't sure where to post this, I am not trying to be political, I just need some good credible info firearm crime, stats, etc. I was tipped off today that we have a biased small group meeting that my medical school is subjecting us to. My girlfriend had her meeting today and said that the...

    F T/R Competition 600 yard f-open optic. Sightron 8-32 or 10-50.

    I shoot F-open right now with a Sightron SIII 6-24 which has been great but that scope is going to be going on a different rifle. Since the SIII's are in a similar ball park of price to eachother, which would you prefer for nearly exclusive 600 f-open?

    Samsung S4 coming standard with some useful features.

    I was just reading about this phone and I see that it is going to be equipped with a thermometer, barometer,humidity sensors. It will also have a digital gyro and compass. Combined with a GPS program like essentials as well as a ballistic app this could be a very useful smartphone! It would be...

    Gunsmithing Chopping down a fluted factory barrel?

    Being a Savage fanboy I have accumulated several actions and barrels. One of which is a fluted 308 varmint contour with the factory muzzle brake off of a FCP-K. Anyway, I've got a bunch of heavy ass aftermarket bull barrels on the actions now that aren't good for hunting/carrrying. Is it...

    Just noticed Numrich has Thermold mags in stock.

    I don't have an AR-15 so I have no experience with them but I saw that Numrich has the Canadian thermold magazines for 15 bucks. It appears they are in stock. I know these are no Pmags but they are available if you need a mag or 50. Here is the link. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/1163650B.htm

    Movie Theater Django Unchained

    I went and checked out this movie today. It was excellent. If you are a Quintin Tarantino fan then you will enjoy Django Unchained. Lots of humor and gore to the likes of Tarantino. Be ready to here the N-bomb dropped a couple hundred...thousand times as well.

    Need a trainer. CZ 452/455 or Savage MKII

    I was dead set on getting a Savage and would have but nearly every store near me is completely sold out of them. Including Cabelas in Dundee, MI. I was planning on modding it immediately, but for the price I could mod a savage for I can easily get into a new/used CZ. You guys with both, should I...

    What LA 7mm?

    I currently have a blueprinted savage action sitting in a PDC single shot stock that is wearing a 260AI barrel. I have tons of Savage short actions so it only makes sense that I put the 260 onto one of the SA's. The new 190 berger bullet has intrigued me as does pretty much every other 7mm...

    Just got a 6.5 blank. Chamber Ideas?

    I have a 28 inch McGowan blank I got on the cheap. I have several short actions and one long action that I could put this on. My long action currently has a 260AI on it. Would the next logical chambering be the 6.5 Creedmore? I would like to use this rifle for a 1000 Tac Match this spring at a...

    Range Report Tracking and Vertical...Lesson Learned

    I went to the local range to shoot the rest of my ammo from a big range day the week before. I had two different loads for my 260AI. Both using Lapua brass and 140gr amax bullets. One load was 47.5 grains of 4831SC and the other was 42 grains of 4350. These are both very proven accuracy loads...

    Recoil reducing vented bullets.

    I saw these on Gizmodo.com today and I am just wondering why the hell they went through the time and effort to make these. They have seemed to try to make a more expensive, less effective muzzle brake. Ridiculous in my opinion.Is the recoil of a 308 really that bad...

    Got accepted to Medical school today!

    I figured I would share with everybody because I am so excited that this is finally happening. I received confirmation from MSU's osteopathic medical school this morning via email. I didn't think it was going to happen as I applied this summer. It sure has been a long time coming, completed my...

    When are primer pockets spent?

    I was just priming a bunch of brass, both lapua and winchester 260 brass and it got me thinking as I have not fired them enough ,or any brass for that matter, to discard them because of loose primer pockets. So when is a primer pocket done? When they show signs of leakage? Several of my Lapua...

    Savage Gurus Inside. Standard BF to WSM

    I am building a rifle for a friend and need to swap out the bolt face from a 308 to wsm/magnum bolt face. This is on a new model 12 LRP repeater action. He already has the new bolt face and I'm pretty sure I need firing pin, extractor and ejector parts, but what ones. I see a variety of these...

    Powder Dilemma 260AI H4350, H4831

    So I have worked up a load with 4831SC that shoots amazingly in my 260AI. I know a lot of people use the H4350 with superb results and I recently came across 8 lb kegs of H4350 in stock and super cheap at a local sporting goods store. There are no H4831 kegs in sight. Is it worth risking a less...
