First off let me say i have been wanting to build a long range gun for a while and after a few failed attempts i am going to try to start over. I am primarily an archery hunter but have bought guns over the years that i have found good deals on. None of the guns have been what i wanted just...

I am thinking i may take the Zeiss 4.5-14X44 off of my 22-250 and put it on my 270WSM. Then i may look at the super sniper for my 22-250. This is a model 12 bvss and will be used primarily for prarie dogs. I think i want the adjustable power for a big game rifle and a fixed power would be...

Thanks for the advice but i have already tried golf and wasn't very good so i had to find another way to spend money before my wife did. Any way thanks for the help are there any good scopes for a budget with adjustable power or would i be better off going with a super sniper. I have a Zeiss...

I bought a savage Model 12 FVSS in 270 WSM. This will be my first semi long range rifle so i decided to keep the cost down to see how well i like it and save for a more custom bigger caliber gun in the future. Right now i am trying to decide what scope to put on it and with what mounting...

Well i decided it was time to bite the bullet and bought the savage 12FVSS in 270WSM. I am thinking i would order a stockade stock to replace the factoryone. Would this be my best option or would there be a better one.

I as wondering what this caliber would be like for a longer range gun. I found a savage model 12 with the cheap stock for 400 new. I know i could put a new stock on it and eventually rebarrel it but what range would the 270 WSM be good to on say antelope and deer. With that price i could...

Today i looked at a savage in 300 wsm. It had the stainless fluted bull barrel but was on a grey synthetic stock. It looked similar to the low profile varmint but with the different stock. Has anyone ever seen this gun. If so what do you think. I have a 22-250 model 12bvss that shoots...

thanks for the help. I hadn't even conseidered the rebarrel option and it seems a cost effective way to go.

Thanks for the response. I no longer live in Mo but have moved to CO. 8#s is a little light i agree and would be willing to go heavier. Right now i am looking for a rifle i can carry but has some long range capability. I am open to all suggestions on rifles and glass. As far as heavier...

Well it appears that a cooper is out of the question after a little research. Since i got such a "great" response to my last thread i decided to ask for suggestions on what to get. I am open to calibers as well as rifles. I am leaning to a 300 wsm or a 7mag but dont know wich rifle. I would...

Thanks for the info. I have a 204 single shot that shoots great but would like to try the repeater. What does everyone think of the ackley improved version. Is it worth it or should i just go with the regular 280.

I am looking at possibly buying one of the jackson hunters in 280 AI. I was looking for info on going with the AI or just getting the normal 280 rem. Any info would be great.

I have the boyds thumbhole and forend on my encore in 204. I just bought the combo this spring but so far i love it. It shoots nice off of bags but i love it off a bipod. Has anyone tried the hinge pins with the tighter tolerances. What was the effect on accuracy?

This is a great post because i am moving in june to Grand junction. I cant wait for the move but need to find out about facilities in that area. Good luck with your move. It sounds like you are looking forward to it as much as i am.

It was a little used. A guy bought it for a pdog hunt than some stuff happened and he wasn't able to go so he sold it back to the shop he bought it from. A guy at the shop bought the scope. He broke the barrel in and shot two boxes of shells through it. He had it for little under a month...
