Normally I can work up a load for a rifle and get decent results within the first couple of different loads but this one has me a little perplexed. The rifle, a Winchester 70, is my neighbors. It has a stainless 26" barrel, laminated wood stock, and a blued receiver but I didn't pay much...

After my father passed, his gun collection became mine. I had to clean up the vault and install a new humidifier and ran across some guns that I haven't ever seen before. One was a Darne SXS with a slide action and about a 3/4 length stock on the barrel area. Anyone know anything about this...

I finally got a chance to shoot my new Savage 10 Precision Carbine .308 Win this past Saturday. Here's the setup: Savage 10 Precision Carbine with 20" heavy barrel, Burris Mounts, Weaver 6 Lug Tactical High Mounts and a Leupold VX-III 3.5X10X50mm with a #4 reticle. The loads were: Hornady...

I'm trying to locate a Savage 10 Short Action, does anyone know of a reliable source for them?

I'm getting it all together for the Savage build and am trying to settle on a barrel, damn sure are a lot of choices out there today, then the contours, length, twist etc. Shaw - can't believe I left that one out originally. Hart Lija McGowen Shilen Spencer GMR Bartlein Brux Krieger To flute...

I want one, just because.

Is anyone out there shooting this round? What are your opinions?

I've been considering doing a rifle build for some time but have never really gotten serious about it. I have a Savage Model 111 package gun that I bought to help a guy out that was in the midst of a divorce, his wife had sold all of his guns out from under him but this one and he needed money...

I've been slowly getting my bench and stations back in order. Mostly I've been loading rifle only and using the handy RCBS Digital Scale/Despenser. I decided I wanted to load up some .41 and .44 Mag stuff this weekend and usually just used the powder measure. I set everything up the mount it...

Recently I purchased a Savage Model 10 Predator Brush in .243 with the Accutrigger, added a Bushnell Elite 4200 2.5X10X50 with the Ill Reticle on a set of Weaver Tactical Rings. I loaded my first go of loads with 45.5 grns of H4831SC, a 90grn BT, WinLR primer on Win brass and it was a nickel...

My Savage 10 Predator Brush .243Win came in on Friday, Thursday I recieved the Bushnell 4200 2.5X10X50 with the #4 Ill Post and a set of Weaver 6 lug tactical rings. I put the whole set up together Friday evening like a little kid at Christmas. I then got my handy little Lock-N-Load chamber...

I own a Savage 111 that I keep in my truck and hardly ever shoot and am trying to sell it. Other than that and the word of mouth I know little about the Savage product. I was looking to get a Model 10 Predator Max but their avaialbility in .243Win is a big question and I'm ready to move. I...

Since Savage doesn't seem to be able to respond to my inquiry and no dealers seem to be able to get me a Predator Max in .243Win, I'm looking at other options. The Hawkeye M77 is available in the configuration that I want, I just have no feedback on them. Anyone out there have a Hawkeye or...

I inherited a couple of SKS's when my Father In Law passed away. I know they are supposedly fun and cheap to shoot but I don't like them. Add to that I have little or no room for something like that in my collection with the AR, Bolts, Garands and others plus small children, I am looking to...

Here in SC we've had a growing Yote problem for a couple of years. This year its gotten pretty rough. 12 were taken at the club during deer season with a very personal 165BT Texas heart shot administered by myself. Whoooowee, talk about making a mess of a trash dog. Anyway, our terrain is...

Looking for opinions on this rifle. I'm seriously considering a .243 for hunting our growing Yote population and some early season deer hunting here in SC. The only Savage rifle that I have is a 06 Model 111 package gun I'm trying to get rid of. Nothing wrong with it but I've got too many...

Anyone used much of this stuff? Results and opinions please. The reason that I'm asking is that I'm trying to develop a load for my 7mm-08 and a Barnes 140grn TSX bullet. So far I've tried IMR4350, H4350, RL19, RL17 and some Hunter. Nothing is giving me the accuracy that I get with the same...

I've got a Sako 75 in 7mm-08 that I absolutely love but the dang thing just won't shoot a decent group. I've used factory loads from Federal, Remington, and Winchester from 140 to 120grn. I've used handloads with Nosler BT, Sierra Matchking and currently Barnes X from 130 to 160grn and...

First of all, I want to say hello and look forward to learning and getting tips from the members here. I use to load and shoot quite often but was away from it for years because of well, life and its ups and downs. I'm getting back into it and have become a hunting nut again. Its been a...
