So picture this. New rifle setup. Savage 110 tactical with 20 MOA EGW rail. Vortex Viper PST. Vortex Pro Rings. Everything leveled, mounted and torqued correctly. (Pretty sure) Just to get zeroed at 100 yards I am almost topped out on elevation..... I should be having the opposite problem...

Hello all, I recently purchased a new Savage 110 Tactical Desert. I have finally settled on which optic is going to be fitted to this. I am putting a Vortex Viper HST 6-24x50 on it. For this particular project I am trying to get as much of the optics internal adjustment as possible to be...

Does anyone here currently own this combo? How well does it function? I know it is a lot of money to spend on a scale, but I do a ton of shooting. I recently bought another beam scale, but I am eyeing this one.

Hey all. I have been using digital scales for weighing powder for over a decade now. I've never bought one of the more expensive scales. Over the years I have noticed that the repeatability tends to degrade. I am considering going back to a balance beam scale. I have always believed that a...

Who here owns a Savage 110 High Country? How do you like it? Any weird quirks? I ask, because I just ordered one. I would appreciate the feedback. I ordered it in 6.5 PRC.

Anyone here have any load data for the 6.5 PRC with 130 grain pills? I plan to shoot the Sierra tipped game king or the Berger 130 grain OTM bullet. I also would really like to use Reloader 26 to start with.

Hello all, this is one of the rifles on my list of things to buy this year. My primary concern is that the AI pattern magazines will not allow me to load the cartridges out to 2.950 and get those heavy long bullets out of the case a bit. Who owns this rifle in this caliber? And how long can you...

So I have ditched my 270 WSM project in favor of Just keeping the rifle the way it is. So on to a new project it is. I have narrowed this purchase to 3 factory rifles, all the same caliber. Price is within $100 of each other at my local gun shop. This time I am really stuck... Hahahaha, I know...

I am buying a new Tactical/Target rifle. I have been looking at optics in the $400-$650 range. I came across the Athlon Optics Helos BTR 8-34x56 and it caught my eye. The price is right at $600 so I guess I am looking for someone here with experience with these optics. Positive or negative...

I want to build a wsm rifle. Probably of the 270 flavor. Also most likely on a savage action, (if i can find one) Or a Winchester XPR action. So far I have had exactly zero luck finding either in the wsm calibers locally. I have considered buying a 300 win mag donor rifle and building a 6.5 wsm...

Now that the Bushnell Forge has been around for a little while. Who has one and what do you think of it?

Any Smiths here from my neck of the woods? I live In North central Pennsylvania, 1 hour north of Williamsport and Just a few miles from the NY border. Looking for someone to work on a couple projects in the coming months.

I miss having a Savage rifle. Sold my last one to trade for something else. Need/want a new one. I guess need may be an over statement. I don't actually need anything. So talk me into a new Savage rifle. Budget isn't too big a deal. Just took on more hours and a good raise.

So I really wanted the Sierra SBT to work out in my 300 win mag, but the bullet tips are being literally destroyed under recoil. Not totally, but they are way way out of shape and I can't see anyway that they would fly straight with random smashed shaped tips. Maybe why I can't get them to...

Just got a Remington 700 5R gen 2 in 308 win. Looking for a good trigger that isn't real expensive. Maybe limited to $100-$150. Looking for drop in. Either no or minimal machining. Also looking for a good brake that will thread on. What are you all's favorite trigger and Brake for a similar...

So I have spent some time now testing various bullets with different charge weights with Reloder 26 in my 300 win mag. Accuracy is ok at best. once in awhile it all holds together, but not satisfactory really. Velocity is very high (beating book loads by 100-200 FPS) without exceeding maximum...

So I have tons of both of these primers. Decided to do a test with my 6.5 Creedmoor. I was a little surprised at the results. Everything Identical except for the primer used. 130 grain Sierra game changer. 48 grains of RL 26. 60 degrees F. The Winchester yielded an average velocity of 2890...

Does anyone here know what the adjustment range is for that stock? I am planning to buy a stock for my 6.5 Creedmoor with adjustable LOP so I don't have to change the stock for the kids. My question is. Will that stock get me down to around 12-12.5" for LOP? The idea is to have a rifle that...

Came across a very nice Mosin 91-30 at the LGS. Has an angled bolt handle. Drilled and tapped for scope mounts. And in excellent shape to boot. Price tag was $175. I figured that was fair. So I asked him to set it in the back and I would come get it Friday. What do the masses here think? Is...

How would one go about Annealing a few hundred pieces of 6.5 creedmoor and 270 wsm brass That I would like to anneal. I have no special equipment. To what temperature must the brass reach? And how slowly must it be cooled in order to anneal them?
