What reticles would you like to see added to AB Mobile App?
Nikon BDC, Burris BallisticPlex and Leupold B&C. As I read the list, many of the requests are for FFP scopes that have the ability to dial. Worst case, just dial! For those of us that have SFP scopes on hunting rifles, this holdover with something more than a duplex reticle is a godsend...- huntingbronco

Re: Savage 220F Bolt Slugg in a Boyds Thumbhole Stock Thanks to all you guys for the suggestions. I have a fair amount of time before I get back to the range, so I went ahead and gave pillars a whirl. Hoping this fixes a little something that bugging me in the way things stacked up.

Savage 220F Boyds Stock Range Report - Help!
Re: Savage 220F Bolt Slugg in a Boyds Thumbhole Stock I like your idea of having someone else shoot it. I'll give that a try. Not my first slug gun. I have 2 Benelli SBEs that shoot well inside minute of whitetail. I have a Beretta 390 (391) that shoots the same. All fully rifled...- huntingbronco

Re: Savage 220F Bolt Slugg in a Boyds Thumbhole Stock Mortarguy - no insults taken. I know I have friends that handle recoil better than me. I have only sold a few rifles - 7mm STW was one - just not enough return for bang...haha. All groups were 100 yards. I've got more homework to do...- huntingbronco

Savage 220F Boyds Stock Range Report - Help!
Re: Savage 220F Bolt Slugg in a Boyds Thumbhole Stock As I think about this, the one thing I am not confident about what I did was how to get the mag well in square. If that was cocked, which in turn would put some side load on the action screws (I really did not notice it), could that be...- huntingbronco

Savage 220F Boyds Stock Range Report - Help!
Re: Savage 220F Bolt Slugg in a Boyds Thumbhole Stock FYI - I shot these groups off bags. I remounted the gun in the stock, retorquing everything, with essentially no effect. I placed some spacers in the foreend to put some pressure on the barrel, it did not tighten the groups, but it did...- huntingbronco

Re: Savage 220F Bolt Slugg in a Boyds Thumbhole Stock Having high expectations, and this being my first inletting/bedding effort, I thought it could be me.

Re: Savage 220F Bolt Slugg in a Boyds Thumbhole Stock Given at least Mortarguy is contemplating this project, I'll describe how I did my inletting, so that other people can offer improvements to my process, before he starts his.

Re: Savage 220F Bolt Slugg in a Boyds Thumbhole Stock Wow - I was starting to worry that Snipers and Slug guns did not go together.
