    Gunsmithing Easy Question about action bolt

    I went to adjust the trigger on my Savage 10 fcp-sr and noticed the rear most trigger screw came out really easy. Upon placing everything back into the stock and attempting to torque it back down the screw just spun without being able to torque it down. Oh, it also removed a portion of the stock...

    Matching stocks with the cz455

    I recently picked up a cz455 tacticool to use as a trainer along side my Savage 10 fcp-sr (1st version). I ordered a SWFA SS 3-15x42 scope during the Black Friday sale along with Seekins rings. I guess it recently hit me that the 2 stocks couldn’t be more different. I prefer the Boyd’s stock...

    Savage magazine issues

    I'm currently running a Savage 10 FCP-SR (1st gen). I don't use the magazine often but it seems whenever I do it's not smooth at all in getting the bullet seated into the barrel. I find 50% of the time I'm finagling with the bolt carrier to try and guid the bullet in. Any recommendations?

    Need some options for my grandfather

    I'm trying to get my grandfather into some long range target practice but he probably won't travel to the long distance ranges. Realistically 100-300 yards would be it for him. We just went and looked at a m1a, which I didn't think was a good choice for him to begin with. Anyways, as soon as he...

    Bore Brush

    I've put a couple hundred rounds down range with my savage. I've searched for some threads about cleaning and the general consensus is to wait until the barrel starts to degrade in accuracy and then clean. However, no one talks about using a brass/copper bore brush but rather just running the...

    Rifle Scopes Swfa 5-20 eye relief

    So I have a few range trips under my belt with this swfa ss HD 5-20. I'll start off by saying I'm a complete noob at long range shooting and thanks to the members out in Texas who helped me get started. Anyways, the eye relief on the swfa is extremely difficult to get adjusted into. There's a...

    No deals for Seekins rings or Harris bipods?

    I waited for Black Friday to hit before purchasing Seekins 30mm low rings and a Harris bipod but it seems the few people that carry them aren't discounting them at all. Anyone have any recommendations? I would like to avoid ordering from two different companies to save on the shipping cost.

    Rifle Scopes Bobro or Burris Extreme Tactical Rings

    I've been piecing together a bolt gun for the last several months, Savage 10 fcp-sr. I finally ordered a scope from a hide member which is a SWFA SS 5-20x50. At this point I'm ready to donate plasma just to finish this build. I was looking at Burris Extreme Tactical Rings which are very...

    Rifle Scopes If Santa comes early....

    I just picked up a Savage 10FCP-SR. The funds were nearly depleted after that so I'm hoping Santa (old lady) has me on the good list and will allow me to purchase the Scope I need in the next month or so. After reading the sticky thread I've narrowed it down to the Vortex PST FFP 6x24x50, mainly...

    New member from the Lonestar State

    Just moved to Texas and looking to get into some long range shooting. I'm a beginner for the most part but hey, you have to start somewhere :p I'm looking forward to reading the abundant amount of information on this forum. I just picked up a Savage FCP-SR in .308 but have to decide on the...
