    WTS: FN SPR A2/A4 .308 bedded $1,075.00

    Free bump for a very fine rifle. Every one I have owned has held its own against much more expensive custom rigs. You can’t go wrong with them and this one is going for a very competitive price.

    Sauer 200STR Sig SSG3000 Q's

    The bolt travel is exceptionally smooth, possibly due in large part to the fact that the action just provides a track for the bolt to travel in on its way to locking into the barrel extension. The 0 MOA rail issue can be mitigated to a large extent by using the Burris Signature Rings with their...

    Sauer 200STR Sig SSG3000 Q's

    The new SSG 3000 action has a 0 MOA integral scope rail. The older model has a dovetail mount that allowed the use of canted scope rails. The new barrels are threaded 5/8 x 24 according to the SIG website. The action itself is a long action capable of feeding and shooting .30-06- length...

    Let's talk about precision reloading

    I have been wondering the same thing for years, and have "chased the accuracy goal" in many ways with many reloading methods in many rifles. Here's my story. I started shooting service rifle matches with a buddy in 1990. The "accuracy goal" there is 1 MOA, or the size of the x-ring. My buddy...

    Gunsmithing What 7mm cal to chamber a new barrel

    I don't. Mine go at 2850 fps. I have found that the G7 drag model much more closely predicts my VLD bullets' actual flight path at longer ranges. My earlier post compared the 1,000 yard results for both the .308 175 grain SMKs and the .280 168 grain Berger VLDs using the G7 drag model for...

    Gunsmithing What 7mm cal to chamber a new barrel

    You won't regret the .280 AI. It's accurate, easy to feed, and case prep is a snap because the cases hardly stretch at all. It is very good at cheating the wind, and it maintains a good bit of energy at extended ranges as well. My .308 175 grain SMK's get to 1,000 with about 1250 ft/lbs. The...

    Gunsmithing What 7mm cal to chamber a new barrel

    I use a .280 Ackley Improved. Using the Berger 168 grain VLD and 59 grains of RL 19, I get 2850 fps out of a 25" Schneider barrel. That's good for about 22 MOA drop at 1000 yards, and less than 2 MOA windage at a full value 10 mph wind. Recoil is a lot less than the 7mm Mag I used to shoot...

    Air rifle for practice

    Oh, and both rifles shoot under 500 fps, so should be legal under Canadian laws.

    Air rifle for practice

    Garry, go to the Civilian Marksmanship Program sales page (Rifle Sales - Air Rifles and Air Pistols) and buy yourself either the Daisy 853M or the Daisy 888 air rifle. These rifles are also sold under the brand name Avanti. The 853 is a single pump pneumatic, while the 888 has a CO2 cylinder...

    White Oak Barrels

    Right. The best thing to do is just call Gary on the phone. Tell him what you want, ask him questions if you like, he can help you decide what you need. He will also give you a timeline for receiving the barrel. In my case, he beat the deadline by a couple of weeks, if I recall correctly.

    White Oak Barrels

    If you'd rather not wait for a great barrel, try Gary Schneider. I have been shooting an 8-twist Schneider barrel on my AR-15 service rifle for years now, and it consistently shoots sub-MOA with just about everything I put through it. I recently ordered a .260 Remington barrel for an AR-308...

    Help Selecting an AR for "Service Rifle" Comp

    BB, As an earlier post stated, Derrick Martin is back in charge at Accuracy Speaks. He built all my service rifles, and they are outstanding shooters. If you're still looking to get something built, give him a call. I'm pretty sure he can accommodate you without a very lengthy wait.

    What caliber do I choose

    Re: What caliber do I choose You might try XLR Industries, if you are interested in a chassis system. I know they have inlets for Savage actions. I have a Savage Model 12 sitting in one, and it is an excellent system. That rifle is also chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor, and I have no complaints.

    Impressed with Eley Sport

    Re: Impressed with Eley Sport I must have gotten lucky. I bought a case of Eley Sport years ago when finding any .22 LR ammunition was dicey. I have since been shooting it in my Savage Mark II BTV and it has consistently shot around .45 inch groups at 50 yards. Wolf Match Target does...
