As I posted in Art of The Rifle, I am thinking of building a .300 short mag based on the savage action with a 24" barrel. I was planning on loading 190 Berger VLD's. What type of velocity can I expect? I was hoping somewhere around 3000fps.. Thanks

Has anyone had experience with the heavy barrelled Savage in 300 short mag? I was thinking about getting one and swapping the trigger and sticking it in a mcmillan stock.. o yeah.. has anyone done away with the original savage barrel with the nut and went to custom barrel? If so what did you...

Does anyone shoot F-Class rifle matches? If so what tips can you give someone that hasn't shot one yet? thanks

I ask you about measuring sight height from bore center. First off I am measuring on a Savage12BVSS in .308 with a loopie 4.5-14x50mm tactical. I measured the circumfrence of the barrel just under the bell of the scope. I devided this number by 6.28 which should give me the radius from the...

I have a Savage 12BVSS(as far as this thread goes same as 10FP), so here is my question. I have a Leupold 4.5-14x50mm Long Range Tactical scope mounted with burris signature series 30mm high rings. How can I actually calculate how high the center of my scope is from the center of my bore? I...

Another thread confused me, and I thought my question was more relevant here. So here it goes. Can someone in the military posses a full auto weapon that was manufactured after 1986? If so how would one go about this? Thanks again guys

There was a shooting competition at Badlands tactical training facility in southern OK and I saw an army sniper instructor with a new sniper along with an ex-army sniper who is now a gunsmith. I got a chance to talk to them about what they were doing. They explained how they were testing new...

I was wondering if anyone has any personal or published comeups for 1050, 1100, 1150, and 1200 yards for .308 Win. Thanks

Hi, I have been reading past posts about cleaning rifles. I was wondering if the way I clean my rifles is good. I clean my AR's and my other rifles .308, .30-06, etc.. as follows: Wet patch with CLP through Let sit for a few. dry patch. brush with CLP as necessary dry patch until dry wet...

I was wondering if anyone knows a good place to shoot High Power in the northeastern Oklahoma area? Thanks

I am having a problem with a new AR. I was building a gun for a buddy, Model 1 Sales CAR15 kit with a DPMS stripped lower. After the gun went together with no problem I pulled the charging handle and the bolt locked about 1/2 way after release. It seems like the hammer is catching the firing...

I am thinking of getting the Vari-X III 6.5-20x50mm LRT Mil-Dot with the 30mm tube. First, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the scope. Secondly, I was wanting to get the best mounts I could for it. I will be mounting it on a short Savage action chambered in .308. I currently...

I hate to admit that I bought one of these things, but I did. I mounted it on my Armalite M15A2 and it doesn't work worth a damn. I don't know if its the lack of recoil(muzzle break) or if its the rough trigger. I mounted it on my C.A.R. 16" without the muzzle break and it still didn't work...

I am a little confused. I currently own an Armalite M15-A2. I am interested in owning a full auto ar-15 but I am confused on the way this works. First question, is there anyway to make my armalite auto? Second question, if I could get my hands on a preban lower.. what does it take to make...

Hi, I have posted on here before with questions about rifle reloading. But I know am interested in pistol reloading. I have just started shooting IDPA so my need for cheap pistol ammunition is true. I do not have any reloading equipment, and I don't have any reloading knowledge. I do have...

I was wondering how come the only competetions with scoped high powered rifles are the sniper shoots such as sniper's paradise shootout, with exception to the few NRA shoots. There is a local gun club that has a 1000 yd range, and they are affiliates with every organization you can name but...

I am in Oklahoma in the Tulsa area. I am very interested in IDPA. I am also looking for sometype of high powered rifle competetion. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I was wondering what kind of accuracy change you can expect after 40 or 50 shots through a heavy barreled .308 without cleaning.

I saw at http://www.ammunitionstore.com they have Wolf Russian .45 Auto for like $60 a case of 500. This was supposedly manufactured in 2000.. has anyone had any experience with this stuff.. i see it all over at gun shows and stuff.. thanks

We tested a few rounds this week. I was most interested in the 40 S&W and 45 Auto since those are most commonly used among LEO. We tested Federal Tactical, Speer Gold Dot, Winchester Black Talon, all in bare gelatin. Then we placed heavy clothing over the gelatin and tested, all our tests...
