    gimme your help on a stock choice....please

    Looked at the JP, very nice, as is the McCrees. The JP is about the some $ as the McMillan though. So the McCree is a definate choice. I forgot to mention that I really wanted a pistol grip stock with adj cheek rest. Being in the Marine Corps, everything I shot had a pistol grip, so Ive come...

    gimme your help on a stock choice....please

    No, I have the top as well, but the XLR said that their stock fits savage FCP-K. I called savage to find the difference, they said that the K has the bottom release, whereas the SR has top. The K cannot take the 10 rd mags. So therefore the same stocks cannot be used. So I didn't see how the XLR...

    gimme your help on a stock choice....please

    Lencomatt, the XLR chassis, I looked and it says it fits the FCP-K, not the SR. The difference is from what savage said, the K has a btm bolt release and the SR is a side bolt release, so it won't accept the same chassis. Have you tried the XLR?

    gimme your help on a stock choice....please

    I've read and read and did review after review on the stocks out there. While I know it comes down to MY decision, I would like some input from you guys. I have a Savage 10 FCP-SR .308. I've looked at the Choate, McMillan, H-S, and Bell and Carlson. I see the McMillan would be the best choice in...

    Re: Got a headache looking... I'm now really looking at the Vortex Viper PST series. Questions: mrad is basically mildot right? Is FFP a good option or can I do without (100-1000 yds target, hunting also)? Sorry for the noob questions, due to a head injury, I do not understand what I read. I...

    Bag bad for scope?

    Re: Bag bad for scope? I see what you're saying. Sometimes you need to hear someone say what you are already thinking.

    Bag bad for scope?

    I have a US Peace Keeper bag I bought and love. I have my rifle, but yet to purchase the scope, still searching. The bag is also a shooting mat. Here's my question: when you secure the rifle in, the top section comes over the scope and over the rifle, then the bottom section goes over that...

    Rifle Scopes Got a headache looking...

    Re: Got a headache looking... 427cobra, please explain more on why not the mildot for under a grand. Just not well made enough to be good? Never had a mildot scope, so I'm not sure what they are capable of if they are cheaper or expensive. I assumed it was more up to the shooter, knowing how...

    Rifle Scopes Got a headache looking...

    Ok. I purchased my savage 10 fcp-sr prob 5 months ago. Saw it, did quick research on it and handled it, went home, went back next day and got it. Couldn't pass it up. I've been wanting a LR/hunting rifle, so I'm happy. I've looked at prob 600-700 scopes. I dot know what to do. I do know, I want...

    Range Report .308....which rds should I use?

    Re: .308....which rds should I use? Thanks, I'll be giving a box of of few different types a try. I wanna see which fly well out of the rifle, keeps a better group, etc. I'm liking the 175-ish gr, but a buddy of mine who shoots and reloads 180 gr said if he was to do it all over again, he'd...

    Range Report .308....which rds should I use?

    Re: .308....which rds should I use? Twist rate is 1 in 10. Will that fare well with the 178gr?

    Range Report .308....which rds should I use?

    Hi first of all, I'm new to sniper's hide. I do hope this is the correst place to post. I just purchased a Savage 10 FCP-SR in .308 and I'm trying to debate which rds to use. I know every rifle is different and rounds act different in each rifle. However, I'm trying to get an overall consensus...
