    Re: North Carolina Welcome to NC. You aren't going to find public land around here to shoot. Eagle 1 does generally suck. You either have to go far east NC or far West NC to find much distance other than Butner. There is a lot of pistol shooting in the area but rifles, not so much. You are...

    Re: Help me evaluate my budget build Useful insight gents. I'm now considering a Sightron SI 3-9x40 mil-dot but no target turrets ($135) and the Weaver Grand Slam Tactical. I'm leaning toward the Sightron since $200 is the top of my optics budget for this beater rifle. Plus total cost would...

    Savage Stevens 200 replaced by Axis/Edge?

    Is this true? No more cheap Savage actions? I realized the Axis/Edge has been around for a while now, but I didn't realize that they were killing off the 200.
