    Looking for shooting bags, help please.

    Hi all, I'm starting to get serious about shooting longer ranges, shooting more accurately, and reloading for accuracy. I've always shot with less than optimal rests in the past, and I'd like to change that. Right now I'm looking for something for shooting off a bench so i can start doing...

    Howa 1500 Barreled Action Build

    Finally got a Bravo stock for my 24", 6.5CM barreled action i purchased when Brownells was having their sale. I'm debating if i should trim a little off my rail, or take out a spacer on the stock and slide the scope a little forward. The scope currently touches at the forward edge of the rail.

    KRG Bravo Chassis

    Has anyone heard any rumors about the Howa inlet being available in green? I asked on their Instagram page, but haven't heard back yet.

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    Well guys... i ended up ordering a Howa barreled action through Brownells yesterday. It's on backorder, so i don't know when it will be here, but it's a start. I'm interested in dropping it in a KRG Bravo chassis. I don't know if i should keep my Savage, or sell it now.

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    Yea. I guess I'd be missing out on any barrel threading for brakes as well.

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    Any reason to get a T3x over a T3? At that price I'd even be happy with the .243 barrel and just shoot it out before changing to 6.5CM.

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    My initial thought was to upgrade the Savage i have now, but adding up parts lead me to looking into other rifles. I'm glad i didn't start doing that now.

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    Well... i guess where I'm at is that I'd like to shoot longer ranges (past 500 yards). I like to shoot "action" matches, IDPA, 3 Gun, etc. so the PRS seemed like something I'd enjoy. If i don't like PRS, I'd still like to shoot longer ranges anyway.

    I thought the CTR came with a 20" barrel? Yea, that's the one I've been looking hard at.

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    Hi guys, thanks for all the input. I've been really interested in handling a Howa 1500 Bravo and a Bergada b14 HMR. What Tikkas should i look at? I figure i have about an $800-$1100 budget. I'm going to try to get out to a local PRS match to participate in September or October. Hopefully...

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    I'm looking for an entry level rifle to get into some long range shooting. Maybe some local PRS stuff, maybe some varmitting, mostly just shooting steel, trying to build skills. I'm kind of interested in something in .260rem/6.5CM or .243/6mm Pretty much everything I've read has said to get a...

    Winchester 748, with 155gr A-MAX max load?

    I'm just starting to work up a load for my savage in .308. I've shot factory 155gr A-MAX Hornady loads that the rifle likes, so I started there with bullet choice. My main problem is looking at prefer charges using Winchester 748. I've seen 45gr to 46.7gr to "50gr+" listed as max loadings...

    Gunsmithing crowning a savage barreled action?

    I tried, and it just spins in the vice. I think I'm going to cut the nut off.

    Gunsmithing crowning a savage barreled action?

    I'd have to order a headspace gauge along with the lug.
