    Savage Mark II 10 round mag problems

    I purchased a couple of these direct from Savage and after loading a few rounds they just "let go" and spew them all over. They don't hold 5 rounds much less 10. They're not even close to workable, anyone else have this problem? I'm probably going to start tweeking the lips and see if I can...

    How to not be a tool...

    Re: How to not be a tool... To each his or her own, adaptation of military/LE gear happens sometimes just because it works, it's tried and true so to speak. Personally I don't engage in much of the tacticool lifestyle because some of it's just extra crap I don't need and in competition less...

    Re: Tacticool mark II Thanks for posting the bedding jobs you guys did, it's extremely helpful! I'm just about to try this on my new stick for the first time and this is a huge help.

    First Sniper Match

    Re: First Sniper Match Thanks Branden, I ordered a FDAC and I'm planning on making it to the wind calling class and the whole practice weekend. I don't have anything nearby to practice long range so that weekend will serve as the bulk of my real range experience before the match, a little...

    This looks interesting....will this be a big help?

    Re: This looks interesting....will this be a big help? Being able to shoot well at distances greater than 800 meters is going to get much more important for our enemies very soon it would appear.

    First Sniper Match

    Re: First Sniper Match Update Total newb move on my part. When I mounted my scope I did not do so with a torque driver, I just carefully snugged down the bolts with care so I didn't crush the tube. I didn't do a good job and after my last outing to the range I discovered that my scope had...

    First Sniper Match

    Re: First Sniper Match Those sound like excellent suggestions JJ, unfortunately those aren't in my budget at the moment but I'll look to those in the future. I did get the Ballistics FTE app for my iPhone and that seems to be a powerful resource but I'm sure not at the same level as what...

    First Sniper Match

    Re: First Sniper Match Quick update Reloading- I had intended to do my reloading on an old single stage press but I was not able to find the darn thing. So I decided to just get another toolhead setup for my 550B. I reloaded about 50 rounds of 175smk's while titrating Varget but honestly...

    Re: First Sniper Match Thank you Knight11B4, I followed up on your suggestion with a search regarding Impact Dope Books and PM'd Nomad with a request for advice on a newbie dope book, that's a great idea.

    First Sniper Match

    Re: First Sniper Match Range report I had to hit the range to test out and sight in some new reloads for my Ar-15 for a 3 gun match tomorrow and I had to try my new setup. The only .308 ammo I had was half a box of old reloads. I loaded these in 1995 according to the label I put on it...

    First Sniper Match

    Re: First Sniper Match Ok, I think I figured out how to add images so here goes: Everything put together The action, someone welded a rear lug on it before I got it, seems clean. The bedding job, it's not cracked or anything, that void behind the rear lug has always been...

    First Sniper Match

    Re: First Sniper Match My Rifle When I started thinking about doing a sniper match my first inclination was to get all new gear, so I did a bunch of research and calculated a budget. When all was said and done I figured I wouldn't be able to get what I imagined together for at least a year...

    First Sniper Match

    Hi Folks, I'm preparing for my first Sniper style match (Mammoth) and I am hoping to get a log going to document what I'm doing with the hope that this will result in some advice from those with more experience (which would be everyone I think) and maybe help someone else who is a newbie too if...
