    Fluted bolt and scratched brass? Any good solutions?

    After shooting my rifle a bit after getting the fluted bolt back, I noticed that it appears to be scratching the round in the magazine under the bolt as you open and close it. Are there any solutions to easily remedy this? I had the thought of hitting the edges of the flutes with some sand paper...

    Rifle Scopes Decent mid priced rings

    These are my favorite rings under $100 as well. I love these things. I use them 95% of time.

    30-06 Precision Rigs

    While I don't have a custom one, I can say that if I had to have only one caliber it would be a 30-06. I've had both 30-06's and .308's and while I know some guys will say they like the .308 better, I don't. I've never been able to warm up to one. The 30-06 does everything the .308 does, but...

    New job, new gun: Single shot .308?

    I'd also skip the Handi Rifle. A good friend has one that I've shot quite a bit. They have had nothing but issues and have had it worked on several times and it still isn't right. It's the biggest POS I've ever shot. Doing an online search for issues they were having, brought up a ton of reports...

    Critique my set up

    I don't agree with this at all. I've shot several of the Model 10's that shot very very well with the factory pencil thin barrels. When I say very well, I'm talking under .5" groups at 100 yards with handloads and .6-.9" groups with cheap Winchester Power Points or Federal Power Shoks. The...

    Critique my set up

    The first thing I'd do is throw those "high" rings you have in the trash. They are the Leapers rings that come with the Center Point scopes or you can probably buy by themselves. They are complete crap. If you don't want to buy another set of rings, I'd then mount the scope back in the original...

    Movie Theater Top shot

    I was a big fan for the first 4 seasons so I of course watched this first episode. To my surprise I found it pretty boring. When I saw the title of All Stars, and then saw Greg "Little John" on there, I knew this was going to be a joke. I was glad to see him actually get sent home. It also seems...

    Rifle Scopes Upsetting Experience with SWFA SERVICE (so far)?

    I really like my SWFA SS scopes and have had several of them. I simply don't think you can get a better scope for the money at this time. However, that's the only thing I like about SWFA. Anyone that posts their negative experiences with them on this site usually get bashed by their fanboys, but...

    Rifle Scopes Recommended tool for general torquing of scope/rifle?

    So I know it's already been posted about 100 times in here, but I also use a Borka. I absolutely love it. After using it, there is no way you will ever want to use a Wheeler Fat Wrench. I hated to pay the price of the Borka when I ordered it, but I decided to go ahead and order it and forget...

    CFE-223 & Nosler 55gn Varmegeddon - Great load

    Yep, I was in Sportsmans Warehouse in Roanoke, VA about a week ago and they had a ton of it too. I know that doesn't really help you though. That said, I almost picked some up. In fact, I grabbed the bottle and looked at it only to put it back on the shelf. I have an unopened 8lb jug of Varget...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    That was my feeling as well up until it actually shipped. Now I can't wait to check it out. To be honest though, I really don't have a gun to put it on anymore so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. I may list mine as well. I just want to look through it.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Mine finally shipped today. I ordered it on 5/22/2012 at 12 AM. Unfortunately it won't be here until next week while I'm out of town, but I can't wait to get it when I get back. I also noticed they misspelled the city I'm in, but the zip code is right. I hope it makes it here. I can't wait.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Anyone know what the $1.99 offline order adjustment charge is? Are the rest of you guys seeing this? I haven't looked at my account or heard anything from SWFA about this scope since I ordered it. I got my 5-20 long ago and decided I better log on just to check on the status for the first time...

    280 AI or 6.5 Creedmoor

    I'd been contemplating building a 280AI for a while now on a Savage action. I even had the gun to build it on, but the gun was in too nice of shape imo for me to just throw away the barrel, stock, etc from so I ended up selling it and putting the build on hold. I figured I'd look for a gun in...

    Older savage to buy or not to buy

    Re: Older savage to buy or not to buy Way too much money for that gun imo. For $300 if you look around you can find a much newer model 10 with the accu trigger. IMO I wouldn't pay more than $200 for that gun and I really wouldn't want it for what you are intending to do. For $480 Sportsmans...
