Savage has designed a new trigger. Trigger will begin to appear on varmint rifles in early 2003. See following link: http://savagearms.com/newTrigger/SavagePR.pdf Looks mighty interesting.... Nannuk

I and my hunting/range buddy are hunting for whitetails on a small (20 acre) patch of land. I know that this land sounds extremely small, but it is a patch in the middle of nowhere and we have been feeding for a couple of months, so there are quite a few tracks of deer jumping fences to get to...

This happened two weeks ago, but for some reason I can't get it out of my head. With so many fellow libertarians and RKBA types here I will post to see if I should have acted differently. (In case it happens again.) Went to a reputable gunshow two weeks ago. Spent a couple of hours strolling...

I have a Savage Synthetic stock model that shoots three shots in a nice touching cloverleaf but then throws the fourth and/or fifth. :mad: I let the barrel cool to touch between shots and cool completely between groups. However, as I have referenceed in a previous post, my fore-end is marking...

Shifting gears here. I need recomendations on a hunting side arm. I will be hunting in Central Texas, Uvalde, and maybe the Big Bend area. I don't have any short ams and am thinking that maybe there is a calibur/style that will work with both. In the past I have carried a .357 (not mine so I...

I removed the barrell and action from my Savage 111 today to smooth out some of the production lines left in the synthetic stock (just something to do while the barrel soaks). When low-and-behold what do I see? a little half moon of light wear on the barrel. I line the barrel up with the...

Was curious if there is any way to convert a model 111 to accept stripper clips. (sorry if this is too stupid) Specifically for a .270 cal. I know a metal worker who could create the clips, and have read elsewhere that some rifles can be converted to accept stripper clips. (Hmmmm, maybe this...

I just picked up a box of Win Power Point Plus for my new .270. The rifle seems to like them a lot (maybe b/c they're a bit oversized and are all lead). I think that they will make a GREAT metal silhouette load, however I do have a question about them. Since they look like they will expanded...

Does anybody here do high-power silhouette? I am wondering about the .270 cal for the metal targets. I see very little about this cal and what I do see basically labels it marginal. I like the flat trajectory of the .270, but feel that maybe I should settle for the .308. The .30-06 is not an...

I just want to know what you ppl think about removable magazines. The last decision I have to make regarding my next purchase is whether to get the removable magazine. This rifle will be a hunter (I can see the downside of losing a mag in the field). However, I will spend 90% o my shooting...

I really don't want to start a flame war here, but one thing has occured to me after several days of reading this forum: The break-in period that everybody rants about is possibly less concerned with the actual cleaning of the fouling between each shot and more concerned with waiting for the...
