    Savage bolt binding

    It seems to only be 50 bucks to get that fluting done. Does it make a big enough difference ?

    Savage bolt binding

    Thanks for all the advise. I'll grab some grease and keep working the bolt. I thought of cerekoting the barrel and bolt. Would this have any affect on the bolt? I had read something about them adding something into the mixture that smooths up the bolt. I can not remember the name of it though.

    Savage bolt binding

    Awesome. Thank you for the advise. I was hoping it was that simple. Ammo is on order and have been itching to shoot it. I think I read too far into it and over reacted. I was pretty upset about it. Didn't think of it like that. (Getting used to maneuvering the bolt) Thanks again

    Savage bolt binding

    I have purchased a new savage 10tr with a 20 inch barrel on it in .308. This is my first tactical bolt gun. While cycling the bolt fast or even with any speed at all it binds up if not pulled perfectly straight back. There seems to be some play in it. After reading some forums and threads I...

    5r barrel questions.

    Thank you for the help everyone. Yesterday I ordered some 168 amax and some m118. Once I get my scope torqued down correctly and my ammo in I will be headed to the range to see how the new boom boom stick fires. I am very excited!

    5r barrel questions.

    Hello all I am the proud new owner of a savage model 10tr. I have put a swfa ss 3-15 scope on it. I have some questions about this 5r barrel. I've read some things saying that it takes a while for them to reach their potential. Would it be a wise choice for me to buy some surplus ammo or...

    Atomic match ammo questions.

    Federal and black hills seem to be hard to find. This seems like a good price. I have a savage 10tr 20 inch barrel. I am looking for accuracy but I'm not shooting competitions. Would they be goo db rounds to have or to fire for a while and to break in the barrel?

    Thank you. So far that was my choice. Is it a bad idea to start off with the 150gr to get on paper. Being that they are 20 a box vs 35?

    Hello everyone. I am in no way new to shooting but I am new to bolt action .308s. I picked up an Savage model 10tr. It has the 20" barrel on it. I am looking for a good ammo choice for it. The uses will be range shooting mostly. Within 300 (until I make a trip to the 1000 yard range with...

    Rifle Scopes In need of some help deciding on a scope.

    That port malabar seems like a pain to join. And they make you join the NRA. Seems pretty restricted and controlled. I could be wrong though. How is the volusia? What does it take to get in there. Thanks again for all the info everyone
