    Savage TR Coating?

    Re: Savage TR Coating? I'm talking specifically about the barrel, not the stock. Its not blued, its some sort of matte finish on it? Rustproof unless it chips? Does it chip? Experiences anyone?

    Cleaning a 17HMR?

    So I've read all over the place and opinions seem fairly divided. "Rarely clean the thing, they shoot better with a fouled bore." Or "Clean it like a centre fire they're copper jacketed." So from people who actually own them - what do you do? Im a fairly new Savage 93R17 TR owner, and am still...

    Savage TR Coating?

    Anyone have any idea what it is that the Savage TR's are coated with? Will the barrel be less susceptible to rusting?

    Anyone know if the Savage TR's are out of stock?

    I have a Savage 93R17 TR on backorder from Cabela's Canada (sadly - the only place I can order one here in Manitoba). They have no clue when its coming, and so far no response from Savage as to what the TR's production status is? Anyone know anything? No boyd's stocks available? Not in stock at...

    MKII TR worth it?

    Re: MKII TR worth it? It could be that he got the TRR-SR just for the threaded barrel... Also the Tac Rails allow you to have a nice Swivel on your harris bi-pod.

    Weaver Grand Slam Tactical Mil/mil

    Anyone know the min distance that it can be used at? Or anyone running one on a trainer that could share their experience with it? Is the lack of Parallax adjustment managable? I know this is more of an optics question, but specifically for Rimfire, this isn't ever going to look past 250 or so...

    Rifle Scopes Canadian Optics? Super Sniper/Weaver Tactical

    Re: Canadian Optics? Super Sniper/Weaver Tactical Update for any Canadians that are watching/reading this thread. There is unfortunately no way to legally purchase a SWFA Super Sniper in Canada. SWFA doesn't distribute here, and isn't interested in getting the export license even if you get...

    Rifle Scopes Canadian Optics? Super Sniper/Weaver Tactical

    So I've recently discovered that as a Canadian my government is totally cool with me importing a Scope(or any other accessory) from anywhere, but that the USA thinks that apparently we're not that trustworthy. After 9/11 a law was passed that doesn't allow the export of any gun part or accessory...

    Rimfire Optic for 25 yd to 200 yd?

    I've picked up a Savage MkII TR, and for optics I've been looking at the Weaver Tactical Grand Slam3-10x 40mm, and the SWFA SS10X42M. I like the mil/mil of the weaver, but I also like the 30mm tube on the SS as well as the focus ring. I also like that the SS easily accepts a matching sun...

    Savage Model 10 BAS - Thoughts?

    Re: Savage Model 10 BAS - Thoughts? For about $800 you can p/u a SWFA SS 10X42HD Its well regarded for that price range, and if you use the SSHIDE promo code you can knock off 10% which would nearly cover adding on a sunshade, kill flash and BC caps...

    New - what to start with?

    Re: New - what to start with? Wow, information! Thanks a bunch, lots of good reading, and stuff to look at there. In Canada we're required to take a safety course to be able to purchase a firearm so we're all good there. Our government tends to be a bit tight with the rules when it comes to...

    New - what to start with?

    Re: New - what to start with? It'll hopefully be a trainer. So I'm looking to find some affordable optics that will help me with learning Mill Rads, etc. Not much hunting happening with this one, <span style="font-style: italic">maybe</span> the occasional outing.

    New - what to start with?

    So I'm new to the sport, and so far I've just used a friends old school 22 with an unknown scope on it. But I've really enjoyed it. Planning on purchasing my own set-up and I've settled on the gun, but not sure what to do as far as optic/rings/bases go. I want something I can grow into, but not...
