    Decent Budget Shooting Mat

    Looking for an inexpensive mat for shooting prone. Nothing expensive, just decent quality. Any suggestions?

    Torn between two rifles for my first "real" bolt gun

    You will find negative reviews about the 700 SPS Tactical just like you will the Savage 10. I'm about to purchase a Savage 12 LRP soon, but after countless hours of research, it seems that Savage has been hit or miss since around the time ATK acquired. Could be a coincidence. Either way, I...

    Savage 12 Long Range Precision - 6.5 Creedmoor

    What is the factory barrel contour of the LRP? Is it a full 'bull' or varmint contour? I see Criterion's varmint is .815" at the muzzle and 1.000" for the bull.

    Savage 12 Long Range Precision - 6.5 Creedmoor

    Ok, done deal! Thanks for all the advice. Sometime within the next 2 months I will hopefully have a 6.5C Savage LRP. I'll break it in properly and see how it does, but I think I'll ultimately end up with a Criterion or Shilen stick.

    Savage 12 Long Range Precision - 6.5 Creedmoor

    If I were to 'pull the trigger' on a new Savage LRP and it ended up not shooting sub MOA, what all is involved to switch over to a Criterion barrel? If I were to bring a new barrel and factory LRP rifle to a qualified gunsmith, how much work and funds (estimate) would it take? I've also...

    Savage 12 Long Range Precision - 6.5 Creedmoor

    And here we go...lol. I want the LRP, I really do. But do a search and look how many issues you will find on them. Not only chamber issues, but it seems around mid-2013 sometime, there are a lot of owners not happy with the accuracy. Experienced shooters that cant get grouping below 1.25" @ 100...

    Savage 12 Long Range Precision - 6.5 Creedmoor

    I've always been a Remington guy, but it seems I've constantly heard the cries of Savage fans screaming they are the best thing since sliced bread. So after a little research and a want for a 6.5C, I figured the 12 LRP would fit the bill. Now it seems like the problems are coming out the...

    Savage 12 Long Range Precision - 6.5 Creedmoor

    Not sure what good it will do, but I am going to contact Savage about this. I just did a few searches and this is much more of a common problem than I thought. Not comfortable dropping 1000 bones on a rifle that may or may not have a properly sized chamber. We'll see what Savage has to say.

    Savage 12 Long Range Precision - 6.5 Creedmoor

    Well Savage seems to be a pretty solid and stable gun manufacturer, wouldn't you think they would address the issue and solve the problem instead of continuing to put out bad chambers? Juno, how long ago was this? I would hope that if you found a late 2014 produced rifle, it would not have an...

    Savage 12 Long Range Precision - 6.5 Creedmoor

    Solid info here. But as always...has me left with decisions decisions. This is the first I've heard of pressure issues using factory ammo. Lots of folks out there with nothing but good things to say about it shooting factory Hornady 120 and 140 A-Max

    Savage 12 Long Range Precision - 6.5 Creedmoor

    Thanks 284 and 338. That definitely answered all my questions! Now I just need to locate one in a few months with the PST114 stock!

    Savage 12 Long Range Precision - 6.5 Creedmoor

    Is there a better option out there for someone that doesn't handload yet? Looking for 100-600 yard accuracy, flat trajectory, with available factory match ammo. Thanks.

    JP / DPMS (.308) Compatibility

    Excellent, thank you. LRP-07 sounds just like what I want...of course that is the non-DPMS pattern. Guess I'm just going to have to save up for a LRP package....such is life.

    JP / DPMS (.308) Compatibility

    So PSC-12 upper is safe for a DPMS pattern lower, but not the LRP-07...got it. What are the differences between the LRP and PSC uppers other than the pattern?
