    Why we can't have nice things,

    By the way, to folks holding the IPSC model as a viable way to grow competitions and talking about prize tables/payouts: I’m no IPSC shooter, but it’s my understanding that when you win one of their events you get a plaque/trophy, and the sponsor donated prizes are raffled to all competitors...

    Why we can't have nice things,

    It’s been about big payouts and benefits for the top few (at the cost of the mediocre majority) since silky shooting blouses made their initial appearance. I miss the friends I made in the Pre-RS days, but I sure don’t miss what this “thing of ours“ has become. Sure, advances have been made...

    Prefit Barrel Change

    I’ve never torqued action to remove a factory savage barrel-did you break the lock nut free first?

    Savage Elite Precision feeding problems

    Hate to bump an older post, but thank you Scott for your input in this one. I’ve been fighting the “round jumping higher than breech face” jam on my budget Axis build for going on two years and really only saw what was happening today. Some quick google-fu landed me on this thread-glad it did...

    W-W 6.5 Staball

    It ain’t gonna be good until your case fill and pressure get up there, just like most ball powders.

    Smallest group or smallest SD?

    I had a 6XC years back and a load for it. It shot 1/2moa on paper at 500 and a little more out to 1k (under match conditions). Never chrono’d other than a quickie to get an avg speed to tweak my guesstimating app. I did later that year shoot it over an Oehler and was told that load sucks as the...

    10mm load for hunting rounds

    180XTP’s w/9.2 of Longshot or 200WFNGC’s w/8.3 of Longshot are my go-to.

    SHOT worthless w/o public access

    SHOT is a trade show, not a public expo. It’s enough of a clusterf**k with every body that gets in as it is, if it were open to the public it would be a nightmare.

    6.5 Grendel

    27.6 AR Comp does the trick for me in my 18” Specialized Dynamics.

    Harris Bipod Swivel tension adjustment

    Pod-lok. Chinese levers may work the same, but I support those that support us. This precision rifle game would not be what it is without men like Terry Cross bearing the cost of R&D on the things we take for granted.

    WTB: Your old as heck US Optics scope.

    I’m with gunfighter on this one. My SN3 3.8-22x44 35mm tube mil MPR MTC Erek with internal level ERGO (one of the last custom team USO ERGO scopes Brea put out under JBWIII) would only be for sale for $3k or swap for a really nice 280AI hunting rig with Optics setup how I want it.

    Go Savage then Evolve

    Sorry to resurrect a thread, but I just wanted to thank Greg for being here when I first showed up in the Pre-RS days. I learned much from you and others when a Savage 10FP in a Choate stock was slick. I’ve shot trued 700’s through Surgeons, in USMC return stocks, all the McM A’s, shot for Todd...

    Kilo & AB difference

    Of the ones you mentioned, which are true in the field with known conditions? ANY shooter that doesn’t true their guesstimator to match the reality at multiple distances of their rifle/load’s performance on paper at at least three different distances is running a fool’s errand at best.
