    Savage model 10 upgrade questions (Stock, trigger, etc…)

    IMHO, the best stock for a shooter is the KRG Bravo. Very adjustable. The Jard Centerfire “cassette”trigger has the best pull I’ve seen but it can be a bit light like 1lb or less. The bad thing is the Jard trigger doesn’t fit in the KRG inlet. Any tips on a 1-1.5lb savage trigger that fits a...

    7-30 Waters

    No answer in here, but my experience is that forming is best done using the COW method. I just did this with double annealed once fired Winchester with 5.5gr of titegroup. I would use 4.5 or 5.0 next time due to losing 6 of 80 cases. I think 6 is not bad. I read where a guy did this with bullets...

    Tract optics Toric UHD 30 mm MRAD scope 2.5-15x44 ***Updated 4/9/23***

    Nice review. You mention this scope and the 4-20x being rugged or durable…what is that based on? Did they see some aggressive use?

    Truck stolen from dealership

    That may not be a bad idea. They have more room to “deal” on product vs cash!

    Need a new truck- no clue what direction

    I don’t know if this helps or not. This is kind of my take. Ford, Chevy, Toyota and maybe Ram all seem to make a good truck…..or maybe not Ram…..not sure. 3/4 and 1 ton trucks are cool, but that is a huge price and operational cost increase. Do you really need that tow capacity or payload? I...

    Primal Rights Competition Primer Seater Review

    I see that! Just as I’m coming around, I see that these have gone up a bit and there are none available! Can a person get on a list?

    Primal Rights Competition Primer Seater Review

    The K&M hand tool for $60 and the Holland bench tool for $340. I’m really surprised that there is still no data to support the use on this tool. The RCBS tool puts them in the hole with great leverage for $120. The K&M does bolt, but leverage is worse. This seems to result in +/- 0.001 seating...

    NX8 vs NXS - glass quality

    I would be interested in a list of what that means specifically. Often that means their “checkout” process is the same. Specs are adjusted within the design to make the design hit its requirements, then the processes get built from the control points dictated by the design. Then exclusive...

    FFP hunting scopes

    These are ones I want to recommend, but haven’t test driven myself….I did put the 3-18x50 on back order for 9 months, but just dropped it and bought the PST Gen 2 without remorse.

    FFP hunting scopes

    How many of those have you owned? Personally, I’d be looking at the TT 4-20X or the PST Gen 2 3-15x or the SWFA 3-15x. I own each of those and while I’ve never made a shot with the most expensive that the cheapest wouldn’t make, each represents a level in good, better, best. There are others...

    Missing Rifle Scope Features?

    Are you sure they don’t check zero shift? I get checking to see if it falls apart, but zero shift between shots is the top priorit’s, right? What I think really hurts these G tests vs vs your drop tests is point loading. The g test is all through the Mount which is clamped to the tube. This is...

    Oil between rail and rifle?

    I use alcohol between layers in the joint so I start with a consistent and clean joint. I am far more concerned about a metal chip tilting a base or stopping surface to surface contact. Your torque applied makes clamp load. The clamp load applied at the screw head to base holds a good joint in...

    What Does A Big $ Scope Do For You?

    There are several break through that come as you dial up in price with optics. 1) holding zero - Are you the guy who has several boxes of the same ammo, but find your self dialing a click or 2 when you check zero? After a hike, flight, car ride or when your rifle gets bumped? If so, it is not...

    Justifying cost?

    Rifles that fit the basic hunting role are certainly available for $1000 or less. You may decide your rifle needs a certain action, barrel, trigger, optic, etc. That will drive up price for marginal performance improvements. It may be a lot more fun!

    USA vs Overseas Made Packs - Is The Extra Cost Worth It?

    Your pack looks very good. It needs a hook….something that makes it undeniably better in some way. If values for price is your game, you are competing against Wildernes Pack Specialties and they are berry compliant….as in made in USA of USA materials. My first piece of advice is to review your...

    Best barrel contour for a savage pre-fit

    What rifle weight do you want and do you want the barrel to push the balance to the rest or front? I find a Rem Varmint 26” gave me an 11lb rifle on a 4lb chassis. I would build those at 22-24”. My #3 gave me an 8.5 lb rifle. 10.5lb scoped. My Bartlein 3B (others #5) gave me a 12lb rifle on a...

    Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50mm Q&A

    Wow! Good review. I like a little honesty once in a while! I agree it should be limited, but honestly my windage cap is never coming off, unless to zero. Well, consider 308 Win at 700 yards…30 mph wind….4.8mil elevation & 5.5 wind. At 1600fps, it could still do the job. It’s the old school...
