Re: Savage detachable mag conversion kit CDI?

Re: 243 Chambers i wish i had a link for you, i just read on the same subject, with test results. the results they came up with was, like you said, just case capacity, coupled with longer barrels, is how they get those higher velocities. thier research shows that there is no majic shoulder...

Re: Savage detachable mag conversion kit does anybody know where or if i could find a conversion kit for a savage with 4.275" screw spacing?

Re: Caliber of Choice I have a .243 and absolutely love it, but if i was limited to factory ammo and could legally hunt deer with it in ohio i would've bought a .270 or 7mm. trust me, it kills me so much to argue against the .243, but factory ammo selection just isn't there for deer sized...

Re: thoughts I don't know if every smith's policy would be the same, but i know atleast one, who's also on this site, gives a MAJOR preference to current military and LE. Last i knew he had an 8 to 12 month lead time on a complete build, but has built a handfull of rifles for SF and such to...

Re: What barrel length? i went with 24 on my savage .243, so far i've made steel ring at just past 750 without any issues. 100 gr sierra BTSP(that's what i hunt with also) pushed by 45.0 gr of H-414

Re: Q re: Barreling Savage "Rem style" (sans nut) oh, the reason, as he explained it to me, for the savage barrel nut, to save savage on cost of manufacture. that way head space is adjusted by turning the barrel in or out a hair then locking it in with the nut, instead of having to time the...

Re: Q re: Barreling Savage "Rem style" (sans nut) standard, i even have a savage action with a remington barrel. long story, but i'm cheap, best friend's a smith, he had a nearly brand new remington 6mm barrel laying around, and we were bored.

Re: Semi Auto 1/4 MOA group? when i did my load development for my .243 bolt gun i had one load that shot a .108" group. since then i have not been able to shoot a group that tight, 1/4 is lucky but also uncommon, most fall 1/2 to 3/4 moa on the good days. i'd call BS on his story of 1/4...

Re: DTA Barrels now offered by Short Action Customs. @mouse, i can't say for sure, but mark is in the middle of planning his wedding, with just a few weeks left, sept. 4th, he's got his hands full. since his bachelor party 3 weeks ago, a dozen of us going to PA to shoot, the only things him...

Re: urban sniper vs. urban counter sniper like it has been said before, if you need to know the answer to your question you fall into 3 catagories: 1) its your job, wether military or LE, in which case, you'd already know. 2) you want to be build a rifle to possibly harm my fellow citizens or...

Re: dope card vs drop chart As it's already been mentioned, maybe in not so many words, is that dope is what you need to put into you're scope to hit targets no matter what the caculators say. As example, for my .243win at 750 yards JBM calls for 19 1/2 MOA of elevation, in real life it only...

Re: New to Sniper's Hide and Precision Shooting before i rebarreled my .243 it'd shoot almost everything the same out to 300 or 400 yards, from handloads with 55gr and 95 gr noslers, factory ammo in 55, 80, 85, and 100's. i only found one thing it just didn't like, handloads with any v-max...

Re: out of the box .308? and another thing with buying a used savage or remington, there is always a market if you choose to sell it down the road, in which case you would probably be able to get what you paid, maybe more.

Re: out of the box .308? if you have the time and you have places to look, keep an eye out for a used savage or remington. i only gave $300 for my savage model 10 and that shot 3/4 moa consistently with handloads and factory loads. thats even with the cheap simmons scope that came with it and...

I've been turning over the idea of having my .243 reamed to a .243 AI for a few years now. i'm running a 25" barrel and have heard that with the AI you need a longer barrel to see any real improvements. i would like to know if any of you have experience with the AI in a 25" gun. i'm running...

Re: Anyone run a .243win or AI in a 18.5" setup? my first experience with a 243 came in a factory savage model 10, 20" tube, and 3-9x40 simmons that came with the gun when i bought it used. that pushed 55's to almost 4000 in front of a max load of IMR 4895. not a great load for long range...

Re: barrel break in i think this horse has been beat down to bare bones. to each thier own, if you feel it does, or it might, make a difference, and you can clean a bore without damaging it, go ahead and do a break in. if you don't think it makes a difference, then don't do it. i don't think...
