my friends rifle was reworked to a heavy barrel, trigger work the whole thing and about the best it would do was 3 minutes. it was also a lot more the 4 bills. part of the appeal used to be (for california anyway) was it was a semi auto in .223 and not a banned item. now with the O.L.L...

the stock is not an after market stock. does "rework" the stock mean bedding it? (hope i didn't ask a dumb question)

i heard from joe yesterday, he says the rifle now shoots a 3 shot group into a .4" group. should ship soon, will post range report

iv'e got a friend that had a company rework his mini. if it was any more accurate than it was when it left, it wasn't much more, maybe just his luck.

joe @ savage called me back. they shot the rifle with the existing stock and got about the same results that i did. they changed out the stock and there was an improvement, but joe was not satisfied with it, he is going to have the barrel changed out. i continue to be impressed with joe's...

sorry, didn't read the rest of the post

maybe he put it on backwards, if it's that simple, easy fix! if there are no markings on the base at all then i guess it could get put on wrong. super last resort, how about the burris rings with the inserts

i guess that the first thing to do is to figure out what you have now. are there any manufactures markings on the rail? ask the guy that put it together.

just another comment: the loading tool i use is the collet die from lee. it kinda squeezes the neck down by mashing it against a mandrel. the builder of the rifle recommended it, so that's what i use, it works and that's okay

when my gunsmith built my 280ai he recomended winchester nickled brass. that all i've used and have not looked back. what's the good news is that nosler had released facory loaded ammo and casings. no more wearing out the barrel just to make brass:)

according to the sierra's book the 22/250 with a 1x14 twist will do up to a 63 grain bullet. a 69 grain bullet would take a 1x10, the 77's and the 80's would take a 1x8. i would think that you're 1x12 could go heavier. one thing to remember is that bullet sabilization has more to do with the...

i would think that a factory rifle would shoot about any factory loaded ammuniton. i mean that it should sabilize factoy ammo. i'm sure that it may have a preference for what it's going to shoot better that another brand, just got to shoot to find out. i think most of the 22-250s have a 1x14"...

it arrived back at savage on friday, aug the 22nd. crossed fingers

he sent me an email asking for a phone number that i can be reached during the day. i am hard to find at work, so i called him at the number he provided.

what wood factory (savage) stocks pillare bedded?
