    Thoughts on savage 243 build

    I already own a savage model 12 btcss which is a 22-250 with a 26" stainless barrel and a laminate thumb hole stock. The gun no longer serves it's purpose and I am looking into having it rebarreled into a 243 with either an 18 or 22" #5 contour Schillen match grade barrel. Eventually I will...

    Rifle Scopes Something similar to Vortex Viper HS

    I am looking for a scope for my recently built AR-10. Its a .308 with a 16" barrel. Its main purpose is a utility rifle for out at the ranch, i.e. pigs, coyotes, deer (if i see one in season), any other varmint/rodent that i may run across. I love the vortex viper hs 2-10 for my purposes...

    what to upgrade next?

    I have a remington 700 bdl in 300 win mag. This passed weekend I found a sendero stock to drop it in and now I do not know what to do next. This rifle is mainly a hunting gun, but I also want it to be a tack driver on paper. I need a new scope, trigger and barrel. I talked to a local...

    question about sendero stock

    This weekend, I moved my 300 WM bdl into a sendero stock that my grandpa had lying around. I really like it, but for some reason when I got the screws all the way screwed in, the bottom metal was acting wrong. It was fine until I opened it, then it would not clip back up into its spot. Its...

    xlr or A-5 stock

    I have a remmy 700 300 WM that is mostly used for hunting. its in an old bdl stock and the stock is touching my barrel pretty far up, and instead of modifying the stock, I was looking for a new stock. I was trying to keep it on the lighter side (no more than 4.5 pounds). The xlr weighs like...

    Hunting & Fishing Stock options for 300 winmag

    I have an old rem 700 in 300 winmag that I am looking to do a little upgrading. As it sits right now, my barrel is touching the stock pretty far up and so I was going to start there so that I do not loose accuracy as the barrel heats up. Most of my shooting is hunting in the field and I also...

    can't decide on bullet

    I have a maximum range of 400-500 yards with a 300 win mag. 208 seems heavy for that distance, but i don't know for sure. I've shot 150 gr nosler ballistic tips since i've had the gun and they have served me well, but i am about to load up another 200 rounds or so and was maybe looking at...

    Question on neck sizing and case trimming

    I have been reloading for a few years now and one thing I do not understand is when is it okay to just neck resize as opposed to full case length resizing? And I have heard that you do not need to trim the cases every reload, is this true, or do you need to trim your cases everytime?

    Big thanks to you guys

    A while back, before I started reading here, I was shooting 3 inch groups at 100 yards and after reading up on tips and tricks and techniques, this was the result of my latest range visit. That's a 5-shot grouping at 100 yards with a 15 mph cross wind shooting a savage 12 btcss in 22-250 with...

    Difference between ball and extruded powders

    I've been really curious about the difference between ball powders and extruded powders. I've always used ball powder because to me it seemed like it would give a more uniform burn and be better packed in the bullet. But so many people reload with IMR powders (mostly extruded) and other...

    question about a 300 WM

    I am pretty set on getting a new .308 rem 700 sps tactical very soon, but I had a thought about something else and was wanting an opinion because I honestly don't know what I want, I just know what I want to do with it. I was wanting a shorter barrel to give me a little easier time toting in...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on a scope

    I was wandering what the general consensus is for the osprey brand of scopes. here is one: http://www.osprey-optics.com/scopes/4-16x50-rangefinding-rifle-scope.html I'm very new to all of this and am not looking to spend $1000 on a scope just yet until I finish the gun. I'm working on a tight...

    Ideas for a set of optics

    So this is my first post, but I have been browsing these forums for a long time. I finally have some money to spend, and with a birthday coming up soon, I will be getting a new toy . I am going to get a Remington 700 action SPS tactical in a .308 with the 20" heavy barrel. Now I've been doing...
