    "Tactical" 223 Rifle Project...Suggestions?

    Re: "Tactical" 223 Rifle Project...Suggestions? Here's one of my quick and dirty budget Savages. Picked up an older 110FP rifle with rough looking bore and a very bad duracoat job. Cleaned it up, shortened the barrel, adjusted the headspace. It looked a lot better and shot pretty well...

    Rifle Scopes Spotting Scope Stands

    I found a great deal locally on a Celestron Ultima 100 spotting scope. It's a lot better than the cheap one I was using, but the thing is HUGE. Any recommendations on a base/stand/tripod? Thx.

    New to me .308 Tikka Varmint Questions

    Re: New to me .308 Tikka Varmint Questions Thanks gentlemen. The rifle is definitely a shooter, much much better than me. A little tweaking to make it more comfortable to me and some trigger time and I'll be very happy.

    New to me .308 Tikka Varmint Questions

    I recently started shooting a Tikka Varmint in .308. Love the rifle, extremely accurate, however, tt recoils noticably more than my Savage .308 with a Duramax stock, or at least I can feel it more. Any recommendations for a replacement stock or recoil pad? I like the stock, just want more...

    Need a recommendation for Tikka Rings / Base

    I just bought a Tikka Varmint in .308. My Leupold scope touches the barrel when I use the Tikka rings. Any recommendations for rings and base with this model? Thx.

    Howa and Remington 700 LA questions

    A couple of questions... A guy I know needs to sell some things. I don;t really need anything right now, but I would consider picking these up and saving them for future projects if they are good deals. First is a Howa 1500 heavy barrel (or varmint) in .243. < 20 rounds through it. I don't...

    Can you shorten a fluted barrel?

    I have a 26" fluted barrel. I would prefer a 22" or 20" barrel. With the flutes I can only shorten it to about 24" without cutting in to the flutes. Can you shorten a barrel into the flutes part of the barrel? I have never seen one that way, but don't know if it is even possible. Thx.

    Need info on T/C Encore .308 pistol

    I recently traded a hunting rifle for a stainless T/C Encore pistol in .308. I am not really a hunting pistol guy, but I was intrigued with the Encore and thought I might pick up a rifle barrel and stock and see what I could do with it? A few questions... 1. Are they hard to build into a...

    Rifle Scopes model 11fcxp scope mount problems

    Re: model 11fcxp scope mount problems +1 on checking the reciver if it is an older one. THe flat backs were hand cut, sometimes they were cut shorter and thus had limited elevation. I chased this problem with an older 110 for a while and a bad (unmarked "O" MOA) base. Went with a brand...

    Rifle Scopes Help with a Savage SEtup

    Re: Help with a Savage SEtup Identified by shooting. At 100yds I was low and ran out of "UP" adjustment. The rings are concentric. I'll try it again, being very careful to center everything. Does it make a difference that the Weaver was a 50mm scope and that the Leupold is a 40mm scope...

    Rifle Scopes Help with a Savage SEtup

    I have a Savage long action, flat back reciever. It has an EGW 20MOA one piece base, Burris Z rings, and I just swapped a Weaver Grand Slam scope for a Leupold VXIII. I can not seem to get the elevation set. At 100 yards, I have run out of elevation adjustment and I am still about 6" low. It...

    DPMS Sweet 16 Accuracy?

    Looking for feedback on a Sweet 16. I have a 24" Shaw barreled AR that is a tack driver. I am interested in something just as accurate, but with a shorter barrel. Is 16" too short? Does anyone have experience with one? What kind of accuracy do you get? Looking for something to shoot...
