    Ruger M77 30-06?

    I have an M77 Hawkeye in 300 Win Mag and I love it. I have drug that rifle through a lot of shit in Colorado hunting Elk and never had an issue. It is a hunting rifle and very good for that purpose. Someone said it was a bit heavy and I would have to agree but I still haul it around every year...

    Savage Precision Carbine 308

    I agree as well. The FGMM is the way to go for factory ammo. They have SMK BTHP projectiles and I believe they use the 210M Federal match primers. I was at academy the other day and around here, they can be had for ~$25/box.

    New savage model 12 .223

    I cant say much about the 12 but I own several savages and my .308 is the 10 PC. I do believe it really depends on who responds but I love my savage. I didn't mind the stock, however I felt it necessary to change it for some of the same reasons. I went with the Manners T4A and I really like it...

    (CLOSED) **ROUND3 !!** (100YARD+) , Bolt-Action, 6group, 30round SHOOTOUT!

    Here is my best offering. I know I will be able to get this one day but I cannot seem to settle down enough to be consistent. I know each time to pull one. It will just take more practice. For the target bottom right, there are three shots in the bottom hole. Started out as one of the best...

    First rifle wants...

    I'd say, since you aren't in a hurry, go with the Savage Model 12 LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor and in third qtr of '14 there will be an Element Chassis with that inlet. You would have a laser in the stock you are looking for and a good hunting rifle as well for the stuff you want to hunt. Just another...

    Manners MCS-T Elite tactical for LW hunting rifle

    This is exactly what I did with mine. I shipped them the barreled action and they did the pillar bedding etc... Nothing else done to it and it shoots lights out. I was very happy with their work.

    lookin for AICS mag's

    I've found that if you create an account on Mile High Shooting, you qualify for a Hide Discount and those prices are some of the best I have seen.

    22" barrel for 6.5 creedmoor?

    I am currently having one built by SAC and from the last few I have seen built by them, they were 23" Bartlein Barrels. Prior to committing to build, I did a lot of research and found a lot between 22" & 24" with good MV. Mine will also be for hunting along with some LR shooting. I settled on...

    Archangel's Nagant Stock... Any Thoughts?

    I shot a Nagant in this stock about a month ago. I actually liked it a lot but I can't bring myself to buy one. For what it is, I think it is a good offering for the Mosin.

    Suppressors I refused my approved Form 4 From Silencer Shop

    Dude, who cares what the hell it looks like. I'm sure the people won't say "nice can, but what's your paper work look like?" If you seriously pass up a hand written address on a form to wait another 9 months for a digital copy, I'd refrain from posting about it.

    Timney Trigger

    Okay, so if someone wanted to order one, do I have to call and request that? They do not show that online.

    Timney Trigger

    I've searched and cannot find the answer to my question. If this has been discussed elsewhere, please direct me there. Looking at a timney 510 trigger and have seen a 510U referenced as well. I've looked at the website and don't see any info on the 510 vs 510U. Can someone explain to me what the...

    precision rifles... show em

    I have shot groups like this. While my intent is to bring the POI to the center, I will finish the group. I only reload so much so when I hit the range, I don't take boat loads of ammo. I want to see groups.

    What suppressor for a .22??

    +1 on the Sparrow. I shot quite a few before purchasing and I decided on this one. A dedicated can for the 22 lr is the only way to go. You will get a lot of trash from 22 and you will want to clean it out. Most center fire cans are sealed and they don't produce near the same amount of build up...

    Savage 10 FCP 5R ....New Stock availability?

    Here is a Pic to compare the two... You would need to bed the action. If your coming from an accustock, you'll find that a good bedding job with a good aftermarket stock will make a world of difference. My savage was originally a sub MOA rifle, assuming I took my time, but I'm not claiming it...
