    Accutrigger issue

    Savage recommended increasing the pressure by 1/2 lb but didn't say why that might fix it. The lock is not a huge deal around the house but I'm sure it will lock up a the worst possible time out in the field. I had some pistol issues once and while I was shooting I was thinking about...

    Rifle Scopes Premier

    I hardly ever see a Premier scopes mentioned in these threads. Why is that? I bought one a while back ( 3 x 15 ) with the GEN 2 XR and finely got it mounted on my rifle. I haven't had a chance to box test it or give it a good work out yet but the glass is great and I'm pretty thrilled so...
