    Say what you want about Savages...but here's mine

    Okay guys, don't make fun since I'm still a super noob at this (aka, terrible at shooting groups still). I had 8 rounds left in the box so I decided to shoot a 5 and 3 round group. I pulled the first two of the 5 shot group (called) then settled down for the last three and the 3 shot group. I...

    PTG bottom metal for Savage

    I can't seem to edit my previous post on my phone. I just got off the phone with PTG and they claim it should be a drop-in or very close to it. But with the experiences of everyone in this thread I would be a lot more comfortable with hands on experience.

    Say what you want about Savages...but here's mine

    This one is a 6.5 Creedmoor. 26" barrel and 1-8 twist. I think it is gonna shoot, just need to not have a malfunction between the earpro. As an aside, this may be the bargain basement build to end all bargain builds haha. By my math I'm into it for $466: Cabela's exclusive 12FV, on sale, plus...

    Say what you want about Savages...but here's mine

    Well guys, here is my first go at a precision rifle. Just got it out to the range yesterday for the first time and got a quick zero, then shot a couple groups. I'm terrible at shooting groups since I haven't been a rifle shooter for quite awhile, so I won't post them out of my own shame. After...

    PTG bottom metal for Savage

    I'm going to bring this one back from beyond the grave. I just got a Savage 12fv, the Cabela's exclusive, and am wondering if their bottom metal will fit. I really want it to be drop-in (or very close) as I don't want to send off my stock to get inlet/when I buy a nicer stock I would like to be...

    MPA BA Competition vs Lite

    How much shorter is the Lite, with the spigot? At only 35 bucks that is a fairly inexpensive upgrade to get more mounting distance while preserving the weight savings.

    Ruger Long Range Target Rifle

    Found this new Ruger Promo video while looking for any reviews on youtube. Doesn't look like there are any out in the wild yet.

    Money Better Spent on Time or Gear?

    I am new to learning about precision/long range shooting but have been around another very gear heavy/equipment centric gun game for awhile now with USPSA. This question comes up all the time over there (like nearly daily). "Should I buy this fancy custom 2011 open gat that is gonna be 5k before...

    Barrel and trigger choice for straight-pull 10/22 build.

    How would one go about setting up a Summit or 10/22 for high quality irons? It would be interesting to see how well one could shoot compared to the high dollar guns, and would be kind of fun as a starter biathlon rifle. The Anschutz 6865 front sight is 19mm internal diameter (.748"), so I...

    ear protection for 300 wm

    A well placed foam earplug is the best reduction you can get. When that isn't enough, I add muffs. I would rather deal with muffled range commands and shouting at people accidentally than have hearing damage.

    According to Instagram/YouTube they are already shipping for the 6.5s, with the others soon to follow.

    Sellier and Bellot 140 gr. 6.5 Creedmoor

    Looking on the S&B website, they list a G1 of .51 at a muzzle velocity of 2657. Some reviews I saw on Target Sports USA for it all said they were getting slower velocities than that with heavy bolt lift and flat primers. I would probably just buy one box and test it before committing to it for...

    PRS Talk Is it time to make a Major and Minor power catagory in Precision Rifle Comps?

    I'm guessing that yes, it would push most of those people into a bigger/real division. Because most USPSA shooters are gonna actively turn their nose up at the idea of shooting IDPA (gross), and while some of the revo shooters likely will shoot ICORE, most of them already do! Most of us shooters...

    PRS Talk Is it time to make a Major and Minor power catagory in Precision Rifle Comps?

    It does, because people that like to measure their skill against more people feel the more spread out the heat is, the less of a good measuring stick it is; i.e "watering down" the level of competition.

    PRS Talk Is it time to make a Major and Minor power catagory in Precision Rifle Comps?

    Lots of USPSA matches are run this way, and it is fine. The match should be about the shooting, not about walking the table to get a box of bullets or a new chassis.
