It's kind of a bit of an expensive niche gun. They're not super common so there's just not going to be the volume that you might have been expecting. That's not what you wanted to hear but it's true.
Come to think of it, I don’t even think there’s a website strictly for used savage barrels and those gotta be the most common.
Ebay always has a grip of Savage and Remmy barrels but that always seemed like a way to get a bore that looks like 5 miles of dirt road rather than a gently used take-off barrel.
Rainbow over Newfoundland.
I’ll post it later, but respectable 8pt young Bull down Monday at 535yds. Clean heart shot while on the move.
Thoroughly recommend “Buck Lake Adventures”. Roger Sheppard is the man running the show.
Both me and bud tagged moose, out for bear with hurricane incoming.
No shortage of opportunities.
Watched this one at a distance (mile) for an hour, and a smaller one, chasing a cow.
He started at 1200yds around a bog and started getting curious about our cow call. Took 20min to come from 1200 to 800 yds, then trees...
Came out the other side of the trees at 600 yds, Then started at a trot towards. I had a momentary window before he hit the woods again at 500yds and took a front quarter shot at 535 while he was trotting on in... not the ideal angle, but I could see vitals in my mental picture. Thought the bog would slow him down.
Took... 15 yds before he was down. Steps. We couldn't see the drop, and when I pulled the trigger it was literally under a second before he was in the woods and out of sight. Just a “now or never.”
Walked down the half mile or so, hit the bog, and found him piled up dead to the world!
Debated options. Only 200yds from gravel logging road, so skinned out for a euro mount, skinned for a blanket, and all the meat!!

What app or device is this? I’d love to get something to improve my dry fire practice.
I whipped up this little guy for my A1 a while back and thought some might like to see it.
I dislike the bulky rail adaptors and this keeps my bore axis a little lower as well. Plus it was a fun project.
I turned some stainless round stock down to the appropriate diameter, made a shank and threaded it, then screwed it into the rail decently tight and marked the location of the flats. Remove, grind flats and drill the cross hole. Works fantastic.
Turned and threaded

If you haven't tried over bore bipod mounting you're missing out. The Fortmeier is really nice. I also have the UTG version which is nicely stout and functional.
Undoubtedly, this was a fun little project that cost only time. Eventually, I’ll probably get something like that
Can also use this for people who don't have the means to make things

What kind of moose is that? has to be the smallest moose I've ever seen with antlers, unless you are a giant!
6’0 230, just didn’t sit behind him.
Newfoundland.
Not big boys here, but lots of them.
Haven’t seen much past 2-3 days, but they’ve been bedded down. Hurricane coming.
800-900# gross (378# hanging weight from quarters and lions/strap. Left the whole thorax and gut pile for bears, and had the head and cape in camp).
Even the monster moose here are ~1000#.
But, comparatively cheap (6k for an outfitter) and easy to get to.
I’m doing Africa next year (send a PM if ya wanna come, seriously) and will plan after that.
Did a 327” Bull Elk outside of Kremmling CO last year at 725yds: can’t recall if you’re CO or UT.
Ya ever wanna do AK or Yukon, I’m in.
Shit man, you're living way too large for me!! I can barely afford to hunt neighboring states much less Alaska or Africa!!
It’s a Mantis. I like it a lot. Just wish there was a way to simulate recoil.
Well hell, lemme know when ya wanna drop elks in your GMU! I’ll go for an OTC tag in CO!Shit man, you're living way too large for me!! I can barely afford to hunt neighboring states much less Alaska or Africa!!
Anyone have any idea where the "trade ins" that Mile High is selling came from? LE?
I'd call and ask but I don't want to bother them about something I'm not actually buying and I don't think they'd take my trade.

Im in Utah, the GS tags sold out in the first three hours or something like that. I got one though, gonna be out there soon.
Tried searching but my eyes are crossed from reading this beast of a thread…. Will the M2 forend fit on any of the older chassis? If so is it possible to get just the M2 forend?
It will probably fit an a2. Attachment method is totally different from a1 and older
I had a moment of weakness and bought a M2. I’d like to get an extra set of skins to play with if anyone has a set. I’m new to DT so I’m not sure what version fits and doesn’t fit. Im guessing there are differences between a1/a2.
You misspelled wisdom as weakness. It's ok but you might want to tweak your auto-correct settings.
It will not fit. The A2 has the top rail milled into the receiver and that is passed into the handguard. The M2 is a bolt on and doesn't have this notch. This is what desert tech told me
Yea I figured this out and ended up grabbing a M2 chassis from Europtic. Now I need a 308/6.5 bolt…. If anyone has one hit me up!

Question: do the A1 barrels fit the A2/M2 chassis? I have an A1 with 2 barrels, thinking of upgrading to the the M2 but I got such a good deal on my 338 Norma barrel, I’d like to keep it. I’d definitely lose money if I had to repurchase it.

Question for the group:
Anyone ever see primer indentation on ejected live rounds?
Was on my Newfie moose hunt and was ejecting the 338 LM (Hornady precision hunter, stock desert tech conversion) and noted the live round had a tiny mark on the primer. Not a strike, just an minute indent. Trying to recall if the firing pin is free floating.

My 338 Norma has a firing pin that floats so free I can hear it slide back and forth when I tip the bolt up and down. My .260 bolt is tighter and does not do that. If yours is really tight, perhaps it would leave a mark.
I gathered as such. Can’t recall hearing my 338 bolt rattle at all, but gathered. Always have muzzle discipline and the like, but it was a “hmm… I don’t like seeing that indentation there”.
Is the indentation repeatable or was it a one off?
Was that the first round chambered after storage and do you store your rifle with bolt closed and decocked?
How cold was it at the time and what/if anything do you use as bolt lube?
See where I'm going with this?
If you're concerned about it, you cold disassemble the bolt and give it a clean out to satisfy yourself that all is well. Though unlikely, there could be/had have been something gumming up the firing pin in the forward position.
I get ya
I’ll work through a bit and see.
Truth told, I don’t usually cycle the bolt until ready to fire. Typically I’m not setting up snap shots in dense woods; usually glassing a broad area and working a range card out to 800yds for live game. So haven’t ran through ejection of live rounds to see if it’s repeatable.
Saw it on rounds I had extracted after chambering and walking around on “safe.” Granted, had also been tossing the rifle in and out of Argos and Side by sides all day too.
Typical practice but one where I always chin-scratched.
Does anyone have feeding issues with the SRSA2 short action 10 round mags? The mags themselves feel very loose in the rifle itself and I have to shift the mag to get rounds to feed on the .308 Winchester. I purchased the magazines brande new about a year ago. Anyone have any tips to fix this or is this just par for the course?
Are they hitting below the feed ramp? I think I had some doing it and just opened the lips up a little.
May not be the same issue, but I have 2 srsa1 chassis and one them would not hold the mag correctly, but I could put the mag in the other chassis and it worked fine, what I ended up finding was the geometry on the mag release button ( the one you push to drop the mag) was not even close, I ordered a new one and it fixed my problem.
