    Savage bolt guns

    Like many comments above, you'll find a lot of people spewing nothing but negativity about Savage. I jumped into the long range game back in 2011. Back then a Savage was the only way for a guy on a small budget to enter the game. I snagged a "top bolt release" Model 10 that was a .243...

    AR 308 & 6.5CM barrel length / velocities

    Let me add this I had to buy Wilson Combats gas tube to go with their 16 inch 6.5CM barrel. I forget what they categorized it as.....but if memory serves me right it's 13.25 inches. How does a 13.25 inch gas tube compare to what you've tried?

    AR 308 & 6.5CM barrel length / velocities

    It's facts such as this as to why essentially nobody manufactures 16 inch 6.5CM AR 10 barrels. I do have a JP adjustable gas block and a JP silent capture spring as well. I reload, have a magneetospeed and my cans are Form1's so it makes me less leary to tread down this path. In my opinion it...

    AR 308 & 6.5CM barrel length / velocities

    I had to wait a while to get mine...ordered in 2020 which was tough on all companies. I must say that I spoke with several individuals on here in private and was warned from all of them that this is not a length (16 inches) that is ideal. It is quite different than .308 and simply assuming...

    Barrel length vs Muzzle Blast - Creedmoor

    I shoot the bolt action rifle I built for my son that's a 16 inch 6.5CM without ear pro but that's because a 9 inch can is ALWAYS on it

    AR 308 & 6.5CM barrel length / velocities

    I haven't been on the Hide in about a year. I just bought some more 147 ELD-M's for reloading yesterday. I have a 26 inch Criterion barrel bolt gun with 9 inch can that I get 2868fps using IMR4451. Its a hot load but safe in 95F and the rain. Hopefully I can FINALLY test out my Aero M5 build...

    Short barrel - light 6.5 hunting rifle

    This rifle I put together for my son for deer hunting is awesome! Unfortunately I have not chronographed it yet, but I have only used 129gr Hornady American Whitetail and it shoots great. It shoots about 0.75 MOA 3 shot groups. It's a 16 inch 6.5xm factory barrel and 9 inch form1 can. My...

    First Rifle Input

    Do you shoot suppressed? You going to hunt anything with this setup? Do you like to tinker? Food for thought.......while you still can......consider buying all the tools and building your own. Being able to build, troubleshoot, repair, upgrade and having an understanding of your system is...

    Hunting & Fishing 2021 hunting kill thread

    Thank you!!! What an epic thread! I had had subpar results in 2019 when my bolt action was all torn down....fitting new chassis, new scope base to allow optic to clear chassis, no time to reload and no time to zero (had just moved into new house the week prior). I did as much reading as...

    Hunting & Fishing 2021 hunting kill thread

    Can you link me to this thread. I'm building my youngest son a rifle. It will be a bolt action .223 for starters with 16 inch barrel and 6 inch form1 can. I'm debating leaving thay on through 2022 fall whitetail deer season here in KY or swapping bolt and barrel for 6.5cm. Shots would be...

    Hunting & Fishing Ear pro for hunting

    Didn't read all the posts.....here's your answer Run suppressors, if you run a long enough barrel and big enough suppressor on a bolt action it's hearing safe. If running a suppressor on a semi....run basic ear pro = end of story I have kids and I'm starting them off decent bolt actions that...

    Looking at Sig Cross and Savage 110 Ultralight for hunting/long range in .308

    I'm a pretty big savage fan because they have fit my budgets, shoot well, I can work on them easy and I like to tinker. A lot of people talk about rough savage actions....all mine are silky smooth. I have fondled a couple at LGS that have not been as smooth. In my eyes the cross and savage UL...

    8.6 Creedmoor - Any updates?

    I'm leaning more like this....was pumped....but this has taken so long....I've wrote it off until there's a good bit of product out there...ammo, reloading goods, barrels etc AND it performs as described

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Ok here's my newest build (if semi's aren't welcome here let me know, but it is a unique build that's very short for 6.5CM) I'll start out by saying this is a purpose built rifle for two main reasons 1. Night coyote hunting delivering heavier payload than my SPR inspired build does (WOA 1:7...

    6.5 creedmoor AR Only

    I'll be going back and reading every post on this thread. I have an Aero M5 build with Wilson Combat Recon 16 inch 6.5cm (uses their 13.25 inch gas tube) Several members on here cautioned me about potential issues going 16 inch in 6.5cm and why it's not straight forward like. 308.....I'm...
