    Savage Bolt Problem

    Hey guys, I took my Savage 110 the range today, and it was shooting great (good ammo+practice = sub MOA! I was so jazzed) except that eventually I noticed that I was having problems manipulating the bolt. It would get stuck and require lots of effort to get loose. So, I took all the ammo out of...

    Defining "Arms"

    I got into a discussion with an anti just the other day, who said "Well, if you take the 2nd Amendment literally, then the right of people to keep and bear ANY arms, be they nuclear or chemical/biological is protected, too." I thought he was just taking the most extreme position possible so...

    Ram Line Syn-Tech Stocks

    Another quick question- Does anyone have experience with the Ram Line syn-tech stocks? Are they much of an improvement (as far as comfort, feel, etc.) over the standard Savage factory synthetic stock? I figured since it already comes with a Pachmayr Decelerator pad installed, I'd kill two birds...

    Pachmayr Decelerator Recoil Pads

    Has anyone used one of these before? How well does it dampen recoil? I was thinking about putting one on my Savage 110 .30-06 because I don't like the pad that comes with the factory stock. Thanks for any info you can give me. -Nic

    Choate Ultimate Varmint Stock

    I was looking at getting a Choate Ultimate Varmint Stock for my Savage 110 .30-06, but I've got a few questions. Has anyone used it on their rifles? Are you pleased with it overall? Also, My rifle isn't heavy-barreled; will there be any negative results from having that extra room in the barrel...

    Savage 110 Range Report

    Hey- Finally, FINALLY got a chance to take my Savage 110 .30-06 to the range to sight it in. The rifle's got a swift premiere 6-18x50 scope on it. Fun, fun, fun! I scanned in a couple of my targets. The groups are OK, although I figure with better ammo and lots of practice they could be...

    Savage Model MARK II

    Hey, My soon to be 14-year old brother enjoys shooting. He's gone on outings with me and with our family, so I thought for Christmas I'd get him a bolt-action .22lr as a first rifle. I was looking at the Savage Model Mark II. Does anyone have experience with these rifles? Have you been pleased...

    .30-'06 Ammo question

    I'm going to be buying a Savage 110 .30-06 from my friend, and I was wondering what kind of ammo would be best for it. I'm not going to be using it for hunting (for now), and will mostly be punching paper. What brands of .30-06 would you recommend? Thanks,

    Future of combat rifle technology?

    I've been thinking recently about what the next step might be as far as the future of combat rifle development. Is there really any possible revolution in this kind of small arms technology, or is the next step just evolution of existing platforms? For instance, the new HK OICW, while...

    Glass Question

    Alright, I've narrowed my rifle choice down to either a Savage 10FP in .308 or the 110FP in .30-06. Now, I'm faced with the question of which scope to put on the rifle. I've been looking at the following models: Leupold Vari-X II Scope, 3-9x40mm, Duplex Burris FullField II 3-9X40mm Duplex...

    Remington Model 710

    I was thinking about the Remington 710 as my next rifle. I want a bolt action .308 or .30-06, but as much as I'd <i>like</i> to have a Steyr SSG it just ain't gonna be in the budget for a while. :rolleyes: I've seen the Remington for sale at local shops for $370-380, and it comes from the...

    New Rifle Owner... questions

    Hello, First off, a little about myself- I'm 18, and I just bought my first rifle, a Ruger 10/22. I've shot many, many different types of rifles and pistols before, but I haven't really gone more than twice a year up until now because only family out-of-state owns any firearms and I hardly got a...
