Sounds like you already have a pretty solid long range rig. I'll be the second to tell you to scope it and shoot it. Maybe tune up the trigger with a lighter spring (.043 music wire) unless it's already been done. The preaccutrigger 3 screws can be tuned up very nicely to around 2#. Maybe epoxy...

I've been a Savage guy for a long time and it looks like you're getting some solid advice. I wouldn't change out the barrel as most Savage factory barrels are easily capable of very good accuracy, a trigger job will help and a decent brake will help a lot with recoil. On my magnums I usually...

After reading and seeing good reviews I ordered and received 2 edge (they changed the name to axis) rifles when they first came out. 1 was a 270 and the other a 7-08. I have been a Savageaholic for many years and love their rifles based on the model 10/110 and own a pile of them. All i can say...

If it has a detachable box it may be the same as the 10TR another uncatalogued item. The 10TR are law enforcement only offerings and an over run at Savage put a few in the hands of distributors. The price on em was great and I picked one up a while back. It has the tac style extended bolt...

Not too bad. I know you have a bunch of Bergers but just for giggles you may want to try some of the 110gr Accubonds. I know different rifles. different loads etc. etc. but man they really really shoot for me. They hit whitetails like a several size larger bullet and always have given me a...

Not cold like up north cold. Most winter days that start in the 20s or 30s wind up in the 40s-50s. Typically 2 months of cold January and February. Sometimes lows in the teens highs in the high 20s low 30s for a week or maybe even a couple. Maybe a couple of days a year with ice and snow in the...

From reading your thread it sounds like you are not only looking for a load but haven't fully settled on a powder yet either. In that case I suggest you try Reloader 22 for your 25-06. I have tried a whole laundry list of powder/ bullet combos in several different rifles and Reloader 22 gave me...

They wont fit the accustock rifles. The bolt release and DBMs are in a different configuration on accustock models

Do you think paint might help it out in the ugly department? If so I believe that's the road I would take with a 1/2" rifle. If it aint broke don't fix it till it is.

30-06 with 168gr CTBST no problem. I use neck sized Winchester brass with A CCI BR2 primer and found my best accuracy with a MAX charge of 57gr of IMR 4350. You should work up to the max. The listed starting charge I have is 53gr. I load jammed to the lands and they still fit my mag box quite...

The accustock has a full length aluminum bedding block. The early models also had a wedge that clamped the recoil lug in place. After removing the stock on the early versions with the wedge it was very hard to get the wedge reinstalled to produce the same harmonic which led to erratic accuracy...

The target models cost a little more but the results from most of them are amazing. These guys know a thing or two about factory rifles Savage Arms The varmint model 12s are a great bargain. I think ugly is in the eye of the beholder. Mostly it's what the guys with the 3-4000$ imported or...

I have an older 110 FLP in 25-06. Great rifle. Very accurate and fun to shoot. I also have a Model 116 FLCSAK that I bought as my dream hunting rifle back in 1996. It truly has been a dream rifle right out of the box and has put 10 hand loads into .446 at 100 yards. I just about fell over when I...

+1 I did a savage stock on an older flatback and the answer I found for mitigating stock flex off the bi pod was to move the swivel stud to the rear by several inches. It made a huge difference and was a very simple quick fix.

I know this is an older thread but thought I'd put in my .02 on the super maximum. I have used them and they definitely put a little muzzle rise on a 10/22. The accuracy is acceptable and they don't have nearly as much drop off as bulk pack ammo at 100 yards. The only down side I have noticed is...
