    Finding a smith to inlet a Savage for DBM

    Not opposed, but I modified this stock I have myself, and I am absolutely happy with it, except the lack of magazine feed.

    Finding a smith to inlet a Savage for DBM

    I have a 20 year old Savage 10FP in 308 that I modified heavily and did a Bell and Carlson Medalist that was also modified heavily. I always thought it was a decent shooter, but recently came to realize that it is a tack driver and probably the most consistent and accurate rifle I shoot. It is...

    Howa 1500 with KRG Bravo, or make the step to MPA BA PMR Pro? 6.5 creedmoor

    I appreciate the ideas. All make good sense. I love my 308 as is, and I have not bought a rifle in a while. Will give your suggestions some thought. Thanks!

    Howa 1500 with KRG Bravo, or make the step to MPA BA PMR Pro? 6.5 creedmoor

    I have only shot 600 yards or less so the SMK have worked very well. My rifle is an old Remington PSS. Besides the action, it is really not a PSS anymore. Upgraded stock to McMillan A5, and a replacement barrel. Old school - no magazine. My current scope is a 3-15X. A lot of reasons to...

    Howa 1500 with KRG Bravo, or make the step to MPA BA PMR Pro? 6.5 creedmoor

    I don't know what they all use the scoring system for, but for all of the classes and practices, they use it. I have not done a PRS match. 22" barrel. Sometime suppressor use. I either use Federal or my own loads with sierra 168 or 175 gr. I never had the opportunity to shoot out past 600...

    Howa 1500 with KRG Bravo, or make the step to MPA BA PMR Pro? 6.5 creedmoor

    I understand why you replied how you did now. I was a bit confused. I can use my 308 for tactical division, which I think I might try. I was told by one of the main club guys who is an instructor, that the 308 guys tend to struggle a bit when they get out to 1,000 + yards. Can be done but...

    Howa 1500 with KRG Bravo, or make the step to MPA BA PMR Pro? 6.5 creedmoor

    I agree with your comment about the sandbaggers, but you have to pick a division, right? I suppose I could shoot open with my $1,000 gun. I don't care really. I don't need a medal or anything. I can get a Howa 1500 with the KRG Bravo as built by Howa so it does meet the requirements...

    Howa 1500 with KRG Bravo, or make the step to MPA BA PMR Pro? 6.5 creedmoor

    I am not sure what you mean forget about production. If I am going to compete in PRS I have to pick a division. As long as the cost of the rifle is less than $2500 and Optic is less than $2000 you are GTG. I don't see any reason to get into open. Big $$$ being spent. My 308 is not a 1,000...

    Howa 1500

    I know this is an older thread but I am in a similar quandary. Was going to get the Brownells Howa 1500 and was looking at MDT chassis. I can also get the Howa with the KRG bravo. Problem is the lower end MDT chassis don't seem to be all that great. If I make the leap the ACC stock, then I...

    Howa 1500 with KRG Bravo, or make the step to MPA BA PMR Pro? 6.5 creedmoor

    I am sitting on the fence with this one. I just joined a club that has 1,300 yards available, as well as formal opportunities to train at the longer distances. I am also thinking of getting into PRS at some point. Would stay in production class. I know my 308 bolt gun like the back of my hand...

    Rifle Scopes turret problem with scope

    I have an older SS 10 X 42 that was purchased from a large online retailer. Unfortunately, neither they nor the manufacturer will warranty the scope given the transition period when Tasco was going belly up. The turret index rings turn and have turned from day one. Does anyone have an idea...
