It looks like the Knox systems are built on Hogue Overmolded stocks.

Better as in more accurate? Is one more accurate than the other for shooting off hand, and one better for use with a bi-pod?

I bought a Rem 700 338 UM. It had a 1.5-6 power scope on it, I let him keep that. It's pretty, looks like it just shot enough to eyebrow the owner with that little scope. By the time I put on this stock and add a long range scope it's going to weigh close to ten pounds and I'm leaning towards a...

It's a new offering. Sorry I can't give any experience on deer as I don't know of any game larger than a coyote taken with it but it should be fine for chest shots. It looks similar to the Berger VLDs performance to me. This is the best defensive bullet for the 6.5 Grendel so I can link the gel...

Savage and Remington actions share the same outer diameter, inner diameter too for that matter.

Mrs. Troll.

No but I've read good things from posters, they work like the TSX but they are softer. A few weeks back I read Gerhard post that they are now making even higher BC spitzer bullets. He said the new bullets should show up on the site soon and IIRC they'll be designated SP...

Lapua Lockbase Bullet I've been interested in this Lapua 150 gr Lockbase B466 FMJBT also. According to this Lapua chart it's softer than the Scenar and it's recommended for small game. http://www.lapua.com/table_r2.html My software gives it a BC of .488...

The Savage "new series" centerfeed WSM mags can be loaded out to 2.965" from the reports. It will shoot the heavies just fine. I'll be getting one myself.

Federal posted a drop chart for the .308 180 gr. I matched the chart and got a BC of .568 unadjusted. http://www.federalpremium.com/ballistics...p;bulletwgt=180

There's a review of the .308 190gr moly VLD over at Midway that says it's great for wild hogs.

The Savage comes up a little short. I was looking into the same thing this week and found this thread. Quote: "My 300 RUM mag box measures 3.667 ID." http://www.savageshooters.net/SavageForum/index.php?topic=2155.0

[ QUOTE ] Another option Richard gives you that some of the others don't is bonding. You have to lose the boattail which costs you some BC, but for those concerned about bullet integrity and penetration at close/medium ranges it could be a good compromise. [/ QUOTE ] He can also bond the J-4...
