    F T/R Competition Elevation Issues

    I checked the website and those look like great rails/rings. I'll definitely keep him in mind should i ever need another. I was able to machine the existing NF i had (probably sacrilegious to some) and make it work out. Looking forward to shooting a 600 yd. MR match next weekend and we'll see...

    F T/R Competition Elevation Issues

    In case anyone is still interested, machined 0.035" more taper (was originally 20 moa rail) into the rail which should put it right about the 40 moa mark. Loaded up 155 Nosler bullets with 44.0 grains of 8280 XBR powder, chrono @ 2964 fps and at 300 yds., i'm 12.25 moa off of the bottom stop...

    Much appreciated. I'm already working that way but finding it hard to get anything other than a 20 moa for this model Savage. I'll probably end up contacting one of the company's that make them and see about getting one. Thanks again for the help. - Jmike

    Newbie here. I purchased a used Savage F/TR in .308 last Christmas so that i could stop sitting on the sidelines and start participating a bit. It came with a NF 20 MOA rail already installed. I borrowed a NF scope (can't remember exact model) from a good friend and zeroed everything in at...
