    Whats the worse rifle or gun you ever bought ? I hsve several tied

    Worst gun to date: Savage A17 17hmr. Was picky on ammo that would feed and shot 2-3" at 100 yards. I filled the Tupperware stock with some epoxy and steel rods and bedded the action and it brought it down to a 1.5" gun but still didn't like to feed most ammo. I couldn't complain too much, I...

    What is the rifle you passed by that you regret not buying

    I found a custom built .243 on a Manners stock a few months back on another site. The guy originally listed it for $3000 and had it marked down to $1250 just trying to offload it. Still kicking myself for that one.

    SOLD/EXPIRED MDT Oryx Chassis, Savage SA

    Thank you. And honestly I don't know I'll have to look it up. I don't think the 4.27" action screws will fit this but as far as the bolt release they might be universal. I bought this several years ago when they first came out. It's served me well but I want to go back to a stock that's a little...

    What are the last 3 rifles you sold and why?

    I have only sold 3 firearms: A Savage 110 30-06 to a friend that wanted to buy a hunting rifle for his teenage boys that were learning to hunt and it was just taking up space in the safe. A savage auto 17 that didn't shoot that great, and was picky on ammo that would actually make it feed...

    Ace Barrels

    I'll add in another vote to listening to the Shoot2Hunt Podcast ( I think you can find it on YouTube as well.) They have a sit down with the owner and it's a pretty interesting discussion. Unknown Munitions is making most of their guns with Ace barrels and have a reputation for building some...

    Load development for ruger American 22-250

    53gr V-Maxs are hard to beat for varmints and accuracy, but if I were starting out I'd try those new 62 Gr Varmint bullets Hornady came out with and if you're wanting a bit heavier bullet that might be the way to go. Match Kings have a pretty tough jacket and not the best for killing things...

    Revic BLR 10b vs Sig Kilo 10k

    I have owned both. I went through a significant amount of research and wound up with the Sigs initially. The glass is just this side of garbage. After a couple seasons of getting headaches from days on end of glassing it finally dawned on me that it was the glass in those binos giving me those...
