    Rifle Scopes In need of some help deciding on a scope.

    I think I would go with the 3-15 if it were me. I like the fixed power scopes but I don't like them for hunting. This is only because your environment could change quickly. We do a little hog hunting here in Texas. While it is nice to be able to reach out and grab one, we have hunted at close...

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

    I liked the McMillan A5 and I think you will find there are quite a few that like those over the Manners due to color options and price. My personal opinion is to look at the Manners. I have a Savage 10 PC and got the T4A. Now they have the elite tactical lay-up and they are even lighter. Sweet...

    Suppressors SWR Specwar 7.62 Vs. ThunderBeast 30p-1 (Input Wanted)

    I own the 30 BA and run it on my .308, 300 BLK 9" SBR, .223 and when I rebarrel the 300 WM I'll run it on there. The can is solid. The only advantage of the specwar is the ability to do mag dumps. Let's be honest... if you have enough money to pump dollars down the barrel at 800/min, just go...

    Suppressors Thunderbeast Dealer

    Call Silenced America. IMHO, this is the best group you can deal with. Scott and Co. are good people.

    Suppressors SS Sparrow

    Seeing as how you have a Ruger you like, I would just change out the barrel with a Tac Sol barrel. Its quick and easy and give you a second barrel. I have a Mark III Hunter and I do switch the barrels back and forth as needed. I like the heavy feel but I enjoy shooting suppressed. The Sparrow is...

    New to the forum and Savage Model 10 FCP-SR question.

    I have a Savage 10 PC. I used an EGW F-Class base and Seekins Precision Rings. I believe EGW recommends the base be Torqued to 20 INCH/lbs. Not ft/lbs. Sounds low but that's from EGW. I have seen 20-30 though. Use the Blue Loc-tite as well. Rings and base can be bought from a lot of...

    SAC 6.5 Creedmoor Folder **FULL REPORT UPDATED: 01/19/2014

    Pusher591, if I may, what barrel contour is this? Very nice setup, I am envious.

    New to the forum, new to rifles, not new to being stupid

    +1 on the Manners. You may creep up on price but you wont regret it. The T4A I got about three months ago is fantastic. I do not have the option for the chassis as I shoot a savage. I also shoot 20" heavy barrel and have had no issues out to 600yds. I do not have a place just yet to shoot...

    Swivel Stud Picatinny Rail Adapter

    I honestly had no idea why I did the flush cups on the fore end of the stock. I wasn't thinking and it was my first custom stock. I guess I just liked the idea of being able to remove them. It was a rookie mistake. I am looking at doing the rail though and I think I can do it. I appreciate the...

    Swivel Stud Picatinny Rail Adapter

    Thank you for posting this information. I don't want to come off like I have no ability. I am a gear head and have done a lot with my old vehicles. I am not as confident with my ability to mess with a $1K stock. My biggest issue is the placement of the rail. As you can see in the pictures above...

    Can you mount an Alas bipod on a sling swivel stud

    I too just posted about this in this forum. I need to add one to my Manners but I have flush cups and QD studs which will not work with the Blackhawk mount. They are too tall and will not let the mount draw up tight to the stock. I am in the process of doing what was mentioned above. Thanks to...

    Suppressors Hand load with and without suppressor

    I reload for my .308 as well and shoot suppressed all the time. In my experience, I have not noticed a change in my groups suppressed v non-suppressed. I do manage to get more poi than I like but I do not see my accuracy being affected. I am not a 1/4 moa shooter either. I manage 1/2 at this...

    Swivel Stud Picatinny Rail Adapter

    I will need to see if I can have one installed. I've not done anything like that before and I have researched how to do it and know I'd better leave that to someone else. I know I can send it back to Manners and they will do it but I hate to do that just because I want to shoot. No idea who...

    Swivel Stud Picatinny Rail Adapter

    Just in case anyone was wondering, which I'm sure no one really was, this product will not work on flush cups with QD mounts. It will only work with swivel studs. I received the adapter today and tried it on both my Manners stock with QD studs and the factory savage stock. The QD studs are too...

    New guy, custom build

    +1 for the Manners. I just got mine back and have had it to the range a few times and its solid. I'm very happy with it and glad I didn't do anything else. They are great people to work with and their craftsmanship is top notch.

    Finally got my Manners T4A

    Thank you. I saw this color on another rifle and really liked it. It turned out great. I'm real happy with the 90% carbon fiber fill too. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

    Finally got my Manners T4A

    I ordered this T4A May 31 and finally got it about 3 weeks ago. Figured I would share a few pics. This stock is solid. I haven't messed with the action / barrel. It shoots very well as is so no need to change anything yet. Savage PC 10 - .308 w/20" barrel Manners T4A stock - 40% CoyTan 30%...
