    Other peoples kids

    I went to a bar that had a smoking room separated from the dinner and family rooms just to get away from screaming, crying, running badly behaved children. And wouldn't you just know it,,, several young families came in and wanted the sports turned off and the smoking to stop. All the time while...

    Tikkas are better than....

    Savage builds a very good rifle for the money. I have custom barreled and made rifles that shoot no better than my .308 Savage. A Browning is also a very good rifle. So to sum it all up, there is a seat for every butt.

    Shooting Squirrels in the Head at 100 Feet Offhand...Fantasy or Reality?

    As a kid I had done head shots at 100 feet with my .22 single shot bolt action with no scope. These days I need a rest and a good scope on my Marlin Squirrel rifle and I might do ok. I always used .22 short hollow points too because they made less noise than a long rifle. A pellet rifle is...

    Which 30 caliber for a 2nd custom build

    Knowing what I know now. 7mm08 Remington packs a punch and is highly overlooked for great accuracy. Also a 260 Remington is written up in Berger reloading manual as having 90% the energy that a 300 Winchester Magnum does at 1000 yards.

    Disappointed in Forster CO-AX paint job. *Update 11/2

    Mine is about 20 plus years old and still looks great and works better than new. I'm 70 and will never replace it and wish I could have afforded one 50 years ago. My first press was a Hearders and the second was a RCBS and I never wore either one of them out. Both were given to me for a song you...

    Why the hatred for savage?

    I didn't use Savage for years because of a bad experience years ago when I was a kid. As of today the Savage .308 I own and reload for is my very most accurate rifle. I have Sako, Remington, Browning to name a few plus custom built rifles. That Savage is amazingly accurate. No hate for Savage on...

    Useless great gun

    I had one when I was a kid. I always wished I had it back. I was told by a older man at that time that mine was a military surplus gun because of the steel stock plate. No doubt about that. The bluing was totally worn off. Mine was stamped 1893 on it. It looked just like a 1897 though. I guess...

    Rifle suggestions

    Savage is the best bang for the buck, hands down. Spend your saved money on a scope. I've got two high dollar custom made rifles and neither of them are as accurate as the Savage. A really great reloading press and serious instruction from an experienced reloading person can make an undisputed...

    Can't get a 300 win mag zeroed, won't hold a group, suggestions?

    Check the rail. Sounds nuts but that happened on my 30.06 Springfield. Scope good, rings good. I was tapping the Scope with a plastic mallet/hammer and just by chance saw the rail move. One set screw broken in the receiver. DAMN!!! Badger rail and top of the line match rings and Scope. Turned...

    Gun Weight and Hunting

    My sincere advice is to start to carry a hand held scope or a pair of binoculars. Keep your rifle on a sling until you need it. How to use a sling in different ways and how you can hook your arm into it and practice pays off big.

    Rifle Scopes Long range hunting scope recommendations.

    I like my Trigicon 4 to 20X50. Great in low light high in quality and the glass is second to none. The center dot remains illuminated naturally.

    Savage Trigger Options

    I have a Savage Model 10 FCP and the Accutrigger has a 1 1/2 pound pull and is very crisp. This is the only rifle I never thought I had to replace or adjust the trigger on. On all my other rifles I either adjusted them or replaced them using a Timney trigger or like on my Browning A-Bolt I just...
