    Need accurate 9mm load suggestions

    Both TG and HS6 are good powders, but opposite ends of the spectrum in burn rate. HS6 is filthy at low pressure, fyi. TG is smoky no matter what, but that is negated a fair bit by using jacketed projectiles. Both are highly capable of accurate loads. Zeros are a great bullet, check out the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First pistol ever, which one??

    I would never own an STI. I would however own 2011s. STI simply put doesn't make good stuff in my experience. And as far as I'm aware, no custom 2011s have ever been put to such a test, not that they would necessarily need to be. We aren't talking about going to war with the thing. Just carrying...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First pistol ever, which one??

    I am not trying to call you out specifically, but I have never understood the fascination with the Browning Hi Power. It is dated, not that comfortable, and ancient in appearance compared to the other options on the market. If you want a high capacity steel frame 9mm there are much better...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First pistol ever, which one??

    So I can add something helpful here rather than just sound negative like I was above: Any of the polymer guns would be fine. I have owned a couple glocks, an M&P 2.0, shot the Q5, PPQ, 320, XDm... All are acceptable. Of the bunch I liked my 2.0, though a 320 or Q5/PPQ would probably be close...

    Is there a 7 PRC yet?

    Isn't that just a 7LRM..? 375 ruger necked to 7mm and shortened a hair? A 6.5 PRC necked up could be interesting, like a 7-08 but a bit bigger.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns First pistol ever, which one??

    Disagree. Anyone can learn to shoot any pistol effectively. Just takes practice and, as mentioned above, lots and lots of dryfire.

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    I was thinking that as well. But I saw the Bravo for as low as 880 somewhere online (I would have to find the link again) which seems pretty nice. Especially since both the 24 and 26 barrelled actions AND the bravo are backordered.

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    Yup. I had the exact same plan at first, drop it in a bravo and shoot it as it sits until the barrel was smoked. But most likely you would be limited to the 87-95 grain bullets at most, which give up a fair bit in BC compared to the 103-115 grain pills. Probably would be better off to sell it as...

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    Well that's a bummer. Has he called Savage for new parts/an RMA? That is the same rifle I have, got it for under 200 between the sale, rebate and the gift cards haha. I turned my trigger down as low it seemed like it wanted to go and haven't had any issues with it.

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    .243 is a great caliber, PRS shooters all love the 6mms. Slippery high BC bullets and high velocities. The factory barrel is a 1:10 twist though, which means you would probably be limited to <90 grain bullets, so you lose out on some of the benefit. Plus with a light profile it would likely heat...

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    And that is more like the kind of answer I and other people are looking for. Mirrors the math/answer I came to personally. Keep my savage and enjoy it for what it is, and use it as my hunting rifle. Maybe rebarrel it into something fun and different like a 7SAUM. Spend my money on a nicer...

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    Especially right now with the sale at Euro optic still going on. Those are some silly prices. I was thinking about getting the 243 they have and putting it in a KRG bravo, then just selling the factory 243 tube for a 6.5 creed barrel. It is interesting to me that there aren't better parts for...

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    Thanks for being a douche. Now back to our regularly scheduled discussion. It isn't always the case that someone is poor just because they don't want to dump loads of cash on something. I wouldn't tell someone to go be poor somewhere else if they didn't want to drop 4500 bucks or more on a...

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    So that's what part of what I'm asking. Can you improve them for a reasonable amount of money, with the knowledge that you need to maintain the cost effectiveness? I never said it is going to compare to a custom, just like a $400 M&P isn't going to hold a candle to my custom open gun. Say you...

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    Sure, that's fine. I shoot ~20k a year through my pistols, I know how this stuff goes. You pay for quality, because shit breaks, and quality shit breaks less. But one must keep in mind that it isn't reaaaalllly a fair comparison between a 2,3, maybe 600 or 700 dollar rifle and even the cheapest...

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    So I don't have any amount of meaningful experience with any of the major rifles out there being so new to the game, but I do know that my Savage has been reliable and very accurate for the short time I have had it. I am under no illusions that it is a nice rifle, quite the contrary actually. It...

    Rifle Scopes GAP Deal on Bushnell LRHS Scopes

    Hey George, how well would you say this scope does for a PRS style rifle? I like the features but am unsure of the reticle, partially I'm sure just because I haven't seen it in person. Thanks!

    Do we have to use it with a burris optic, or can we use a different brand and still qualify? Thanks!
