    chronograph a .270 130 grain Remington?

    Has anyone ever chronographed a factory Remington .270 130 grain PSP Core-Lockt? I realize I could buy a chrono but for what I wish to spend I imagine the results would be all over the place. I am pretty sure that this group has better experience than moi. Here's the deal. My Savage 270 does...

    Help identify this rifle

    Please help me identify this rifle. I know nothing more than it was passed down from father to daughter. I couldn't find any markings but it looks like a .22 caliber.

    2011 Whitetail Harvest Thread...

    Range report for a new Savage

    I am new to this but I will give it a go. I waited for a Savage 116 in .270 with Accustock for four months and finally received it about three weeks ago. This was my second trip to the range and I am happy as a clam. I am no seasoned pro but if I can shoot this then I can only imagine how others...
