Budget wise, one stock, one action, one scope, begins to save money. My three Savages from way back when could've been a nice custom, or used AI.

Shouldered Pre-fits are the easiest. Barrel Nut Pre-fits work too. Searching for shouldered pre-fit barrel yields a bunch of barrel makers with lists of the actions they make them for. There is one advantage of barrel nuts. If you have multiple guns in the same caliber, the base to shoulder...

45 ACP Hunter Silhoutte in a 10" Contender was a riot more than 20 years ago. The gun was almost down by my side when the bullet finally got to the rams.

Mid-Range, Long-Range, what is a competitive rifle where you intend to shoot? If you are going to buy a Remington, then pay someone else to work on it, why not buy an action that has available shouldered prefit barrels. 2012 was a long time ago, I still have the Savage 223 F/TR I shot...

White Oak Armament shows 24" .223 1/7 barrels available in stock. https://www.whiteoakarmament.com/ruger-precision-barrel-223-rem1-7.html

The 5% molybdenum disulphide version appears to have been Aeroshell 33MS, now Aeroshell 64. I'm trying to remember if there is a reason to not use a molybdenum disulphide grease on firearms, to include AR's.

Confirm that your 6XC reamer works with Tubb's dies, and I'm in for two 26" Med Palma for an AT-X. I suppose that has already been answered but, I'd like to make sure of my reading comprehension.

Those fishing fleets at night are quite a sight to behold. Last night time crossing I did was a while back, but got photos of one group at 41N 176W and another about 3 degrees farther east. They were small compared to the ones by mainland China, but still 80 or so miles long. Don't know who they...

Grab a Gun shows a bright red 6.5cm RPR in stock for $1191.99 right now, and GAP shows the PPR available for order for $2999.99. Shot another match today with the old RPR, still way easy to shoot well. Problem I have is that it got me hooked on the prone matches, but I also shoot them with...

Your loss.

When you shoot prone matches with a coat and a sling, which rifle are you shooting?

For prone matches that cheep junk was good for High Master Mid Range and Master Long Range. The ammo cost far more than the rifle.

I still like mine for prone matches. January 2016 was the first match I shot with it, Mid Range Prone. I had it out yesterday checking zero and velocities with a new to me Garmin chrono. I quit counting rounds on that barrel a long time ago, but, it's about done. I have a couple of Kriegers...

Man, y'all savaging my Savage. I had to go look it up, my high water mark at 1000 with a $1000 223 F/TR and $300 T-36 using Berger 80 vld's was a 95.5% for a 60 round aggregate back in 2013. Nothing says poor like that. Fondest memories were 10's while holding on the adjacent target. Learned a...

Over the years, I have spent money on products with vendors and manufacturers that I only learned about here on the Hide. Some were even Commercial Supporters. Also, I'm always glad to see when people I spend money with are Commercial Supporters. All things being equal, I'd choose to spend...

I like the Bell and Carlson stock I put on my Gen 1 300bk Ranch Rifle. I also prefer the rotary mag for how I use that rifle. https://www.bellandcarlson.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1154

By the way, op is not adding value to the Hide.

Sad thing is, I had fun shooting my 223 Savage F/TR rifle at 1000 yards in NRA prone matches back when it first came out. Did ok too for the handicap that was a 223. But, again, today, there are so many better options. Even a Savage Team member told y'all that they eventually needed other...

The three lug actions with one at 6 o'clock while cycling, run AW and AX mags just fine, right? And, the actions with no lug at 6 o'clock when running need AICS mags, right? There are AX AICS mags, for the actions with no lug at 6 o'clock to pick up rounds from the double feed mags. If your...

I'm going to take you at your word, that you are interested in learning. Coming in and talking shit will get you, deservedly, dogpiled. Less than 500 yards with a centerfire, not shooting subs, is not long range. I'm guessing in the multiple decades of your shooting AR's, none of that...
