    Mesa Precision Altitude stock on Savage 110 Ultralight rifle

    Hm, good information, thank you. I'm being quickly persuaded out of my initial rifle plan but I am still looking for something very similar to this stock regardless of what rifle I pick. The ergos look on point for me, in addition to being lighter weight and stiffer. I wonder if there are...

    Thought I had settled on a good "first rifle + glass" combo, less sure now

    Last note before driving and then eventually reading, the ONLY detraction I have with .223 is that I know some places preclude it's use. I'm going to need to research where specifically and then weigh my likelihood of travel to those places. In FL we can take deer with .223 so it's still an...

    Holy crap. Great find man, I appreciate it. I'm heading to work but if I can find some down time you gave me some great reading material to learn from.

    You know, I had resigned myself to a rifle now and another later, but I completely forgot about the 6.5 Grendel. Checking my notes that's only a hair "harder" recoiling than 5.56 and is on paper less than 7.62x39. I think that might be the ticket. Good call Guide, that looks like a great choice...

    Thought I had settled on a good "first rifle + glass" combo, less sure now

    A fair bit of research into a good all-purpose, mild mannered hunting rifle for both me and the kids to learn on landed me on a Savage 110 Lightweight Storm in 7mm-08, with a Leupold Mark 3HD 4-12x40 firedot and some lightweight rings from Talley or something. Eventual replacement of stock with...

    Hello from FL

    Good evening from Florida's west coast. Unlike many, I have no background in hunting and I'm looking to change that as an adult. My personal goal is to learn how to hunt and process my own game in '24 and get out west for an elk hunt in the next few years before hitting 40 (or even for my 40th)...

    Mesa Precision Altitude stock on Savage 110 Ultralight rifle

    Bit of an old topic revival but I was wondering how this project turned out. This is exactly the combination of rifle and stock I had in mind for a lightweight packable rifle and I'm very curious about how it's treated you.
