    What does it mean to you?

    <span style="font-weight: bold">Don't Tread On Me</span> What does it do for you? What does it stand for in your life? I'm seeing more and more of this symbol and saying, and I think it's awesome; just wondering what it means for each one of us. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

    Gunsmithing Rem-age VS Savage

    I've got to make a decision, I have a Remington 700 long action originally in 270 and a Savage 110 originally in 22-250 and I want to start a build. Im only going to be able to do one of them, and I am planning on using the drop in barrels from criterion. This build will either be a 20" 260 or a...

    A Short Barreled .284 Anyone?

    I've been doing quite a bit of searching the web, looking for a short barreled .284 Win, but it looks like it is not such a popular build! From what I have read, there is lots of discussion saying that a 20" (or so) barreled rifle in 284 Win is not efficient. I have no experience with the...

    My First Build, with Range Report!

    Well here is my first shot at building a rifle. I decided to use a savage for simplicity, and was able to find a .243 at a pawn shop. I bought the gun and sold off the barrel, and soon had it outfitted with a 26" Criterion in .260. I have had a great experience with the barrel so far. As of now...

    Hunting & Fishing Military Packs for Hunting?

    Was looking really hard at Badlands and other assorted packs for the upcoming deer season, and then I got to thinking (dangerous, I know) how would a military surplus pack hold up for packing in and staying for a night or two, and hopefully packing meat out? Seems like it should be fine but I...

    Can my old 700 ADL with the J-lock be built?

    The title basically says it all, I have an older ADL that I bought in .270 and have done some messing around with such as bedding and free floating the stock, painting, and then adjusting the trigger down to a nice 2 lbs. My question is, can the older 700 ADL with the j lock and blind mag...

    Rifle Scopes One Scope for Multiple Rifles?

    Like most on a budget, I am trying to find a way to get a high-quality scope. Looking at the NF's but that may be a little hopeful! Anyway, here is my idea. I have a Rem 700, an AR15, and savage that I built, and I am wondering, if they all have picatinny rails, is there any reason I couldn't...

    Rifle Scopes 30mm to 1" ring inserts??

    Here's my dilemma...I currently have a Nikon with a 1" tube that I want to put on my Savage, but in a couple months, I am switching over to a 30mm Vortex Viper. The Nikon currently resides on my AR, in a pair of tall rings. I mounted it on the savage but I could not get any cheek weld at all...

    Stock for Savage 10

    Well, I built myself a 260 with a criterion barrel on a 4.275 short action with the accutrigger. I built a custom stock but it has turned out to be a big pain in the butt. I cant get it to free float just right or else it puts some torque on the action. So, I called stockade thinking I would get...

    Best Savage Drop-In?

    Looking for a new barrel in .260 to put on my Savage model 10 action. I have been looking around for a while and reading reviews, and there are many good barrels to chose from! Currently, I am seriously looking at the Criterion and Lothar-Walther, barrels. (Leaning towards Lothar-Walther, but...

    .260's Effective Range?

    I am building my first long range rifle, and quite honestly, I am thinking that the .260 would be a great place to start because of low recoil, cheaper to shoot then large magnums, and it performs! I will be hunting deer in southern oregon and northern california, could anyone tell me how far...

    Does the 7WSM Have Anything on the Good 'Ole 7mag?

    I am putting together a rifle built off of a Stevens action w/magnum bolt head, Rifle Basix Trigger, Muscle Break, SSS recoil lug, Stockade Stock, and Vortex optics...the only thing I have not decided on %100 yet, is caliber and barrel. I know the F-class guys are really liking the WSM these...
