    18-20" 25-06?

    I have a pre accutrigger savage 110 in 25-06 that is in need of a new bbl. This rifle was my go to coyote gun for a long time and it just isn't as accurate as it once was. My plan is to re barrel it in something a little shorter, Im thinking 18-20" leaning closer to 18" though if I can get away...

    Hunting & Fishing 223 rounds for yotes

    I prefer VMax loaded rounds or about any hollow or soft point (got a few dogtowns HP loaded). While a 55gr FMJ will kill yotes (we have killed a bunch) some that take good solid hits will run off a couple hundred yards. Hell I have seen prarie dogs hit with a 55gr FMJ crawl off 20yds into a...

    First rifle wants...

    I will say .223 is sufficient for deer. I have killed a few of them out to 2-300yds. As far as the rifle goes I would shy away from the Mossy, Remington would be my first choice with Savage a close second. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

    Any hope at all for an M1 carbine?

    Yes its legit we have 2 that found their way home from the Philippines. I have no intention of bub a fucking anything I had a question now I have an answer. I assumed it was basically as good as it was but thought there might be some reasonable options. It was not really about cheap it was about...

    Any hope at all for an M1 carbine?

    I have a couple ARs and they are fine but, the carbine is just handy. I guess I had not really considered loading for it. I just didn't know if there was some cult following that had ironed out all the tricks...... Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

    Any hope at all for an M1 carbine?

    I have an M1 carbine that essentially serves as a truck/saddle gun while I run fence and check livestock. I know accuracy and knockdown were never really this carbines strong suit, but I'm curious if there are any real options to make this use able for something other than the occasional yote...

    Thompson Center Warlord

    I have been considering a mild custom build using one of my rem700s recently just for a paper burner and my dad reminded me that he has a TC warlord in the safe that probly hasn't had 60rds pushed through it. What are y'alls thoughts on this rifle? How would it compare to some of the customs...

    Chopping a bbl

    Well this rifle is my prairie dog rifle and 500yd paper puncher so I suppose I'll bite the bullet and find a smith or buy a bbl. Thanks guys. Jim Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

    Chopping a bbl

    What goes into chopping a rifle? Is it as simple as cutting and crowning? Does it need to be done on a lathe? I assume a chop saw is out of the question due to heat generated...... Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

    Help!!! Savage model 111 budget build

    I would say scroll through this forum and read everything that applies. Whether it applies to savage or not. The idea is the same. Once you have the basic idea of what works then you can ask specific questions. Rifles are like anything else everyone likes their own flavor and recipe for success...

    My new savage 10T

    No welcome needed. I've been shooting savage rifles since I bought my first 110 in 25-06 15yrs ago. Hopefully it stops raining enough to push a few rounds down the bbl this afternoon. Jim Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

    My new savage 10T

    I decided a shortish 308 was needed around the farm, and after reading through the post about them, I picked up a savage 10T, topped her with a 4-12x40AO vortex diamond back. Here she is. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

    I'm desiring a .22lr that I don't think exists on the market right now… Thoughts?

    You may look into the old Savage Model 19, there are several of them out there. My dad has an NRA model that has essentially everything you mentioned except for the threaded bbl. Other than that I think that maybe an AR with an upper might be you best bet. Ive built a few 10/22s and I have...
