I don't post here a bunch, mainly just lurk and read, but I know that holsters can be hard to get in a timely fashion, and thought I might let yall know about a local guy who makes some very nice holsters. I don't have a lot of experience with Kydex holsters, but I have used a few. My main...

I have a Savage 10fp 5R with a 20 inch barrel, and a Vortex PST 4-16 MOA scope. The scope is sitting on a Weaver 20 MOA base, and herin lies the question. I kinda expected with a 20 MOA base that the scope, when zeroed, would be in the bottom half of it's adjustment range. Instead it is...

Pretty happy with the gun, and was hoping yall could help me with something, I shot my new rifle for the first time yesterday, and I liked what I saw. There were a decent amount of inconsistencies and I think they were me. I could not get comfortable behind the bench, and couldn't get prone, so...

Finally got it in, and put together. I have right at $1300 into this build and am really happy with it. Rifle is a Savage 10FCP 5R with a 20 inch barrel, the scope is a Vortex PST 4-16 with MOA reticle. Have some Hornady 178 BTHPs to figure out a load on, and a bunch of 168 BTHPs to...

If you had limited funds, and had to pick a single projectile and powder to get started with, what would it be? My rifle is a Savage 10FCP 5R .308 with a 20 inch barrel. I am leaning towards a 178 grain Amax, and Varget powder. After doing a lot of reading, and searching, it looks like that...

Ok, not trying to make a Savage vs Remington thread, but those are the two rifle I am looking at. I was set on the Savage, when someone suggested this Remington. I don't know enough to decide which is "Better" but I am partial to the Savages. Here is what I was planning to get. Savage 308 20 5R...

Looking for a scope to put on a Savage bolt action .308. Haven't decided exactly what gun to get yet, but it will be a heavy barreled gun, to be used hunting some, but mainly for long range target shooting. I would like to be able to get out to 1,000 with it, but most of my shooting will be done...

I traded for an M1A a while back, and I love it. Shoots great, reliable, accurate etc etc. Love the irons on it, just like my Garand. Here's my dilemma, I want/need a scoped gun for long range shooting. As much as I like the M1A I am wondering if i wouldn't be better served by going to an AR-10...

Trying to decide on a scope and mount for my M1A. I think i have the mount narrowed down to a Basset, or maybe a Sadlak, any thoughts there would be welcome. I am planning to use the gun primarily for mid to longer range stuff, hunting and target shooting out to a max of 600 to maybe 800, but...

Ishapore 2A1, made in 1966. Chambered for .308 with a 12 round mag, all matching numbers, and the smoothest bolt throw you have ever seen! Consider this a "before" pic, as I plan to strip the stock down and do a few other things. Planning to have it end up as a kind of sniper clone. The bore is...

Didn't want to hijack another thread so I figured it would start this one. If you stop and think about things that were thrown away so easily by previous generations, that we would now consider nearly priceless, it really is quite interesting. For instance, how many WW2 era aircraft were blown...

Was wondering if anyone knows much about the older Weaver scopes. I have one on my 1903A4 replica, and will probably use them for future replica builds as well. They seem solid but I wonder about things like repeat-ability for shooting at long ranges. My scope is an older K3 that still has the...

Anyone load this? I am trying to come up with a load for my 1903, and like the bullets in the 150 range, and just happen to have some of these. The powders I have on hand are IMR 4895, and Varget. Thanks. I tried searching and didn't come up with anything specific.

Hey all, thought I would introduce myself, as well as my gear. I am a history enthusiast who loves to shoot at stuff that is pretty far away, and I don't claim to be anything else. I have owned a handful of long range sticks but had to sell them at different times to pay for medical bills and...
