    Acceptable Accuracy For Hog Hunting

    Sorry, no offense meant at all. My tone had a smile and was pure respect for those folks. Just saying within the limits of the gun and shooter any weapon is effective. I bet you would shoot I critter farther with your 30WCF than I would with my 35Rem…the gun will do it, I can’t, old eyes. The...

    Acceptable Accuracy For Hog Hunting

    I am in the “animals deserve a clean kill” club, and I wouldn’t own a rifle that shoots like that, it will obviously kill a pig at the ranges it was shot. Effective accuracy. I wonder how many of those ol’ eastern and southern boys have trusty thuty-thuties or slug guns that aren’t even that...

    Savage 110 Magazines

    I recently rebarreled a Savage 110LA top release blind magazine 30-06 into a 6.5PRC with detachable mag (Boyd stock). I might have converted it into a single shot since I can not find a magazine for it. Can anyone point me in the right direction or is there a way to make it accept AICS mags or...

    Savage Safety Detent Spring

    And savage does not sell parts for guns made before 2005 or something like that. With all the problems Remington had with functioning safeties, I would think Savage would want their safeties working correctly.

    Savage Safety Detent Spring

    Hello all, been working on a savage 110 I bought as a project gun. Put in a new Rifle Basix trigger and during that process I found the safety detent spring is broken. No problem right, just order a new one. Oh no!!! Brownell's out of stock, Numrich out of stock and no supplier. Google...

    Shooting Schools

    I guess this is the best place to post this...I would love to hear input from anyone with experience at a long range shooting school, preferable in the Montana/Idaho/Dakotas/Wyoming. I have burned a lot of powder and sent a lot of bullets downrange learning to shoot, and with the cost of bullets...

    Portable Shooting Bench

    Jim, kinda scary how similar my portable bench looks to yours. Great minds and all. I was able to use scrap counter top I had for the top layer, particle board for the bottom layer, and mine is a little bigger but everything else is about the same. I unscrew the legs for storage and transport...

    Gun "storage" porn

    OK sp6x6, you have a very valid point. I hadn't put a whole lot of thought into it so far, just ideas for thought. Back to the drawing board for me. ;-)

    Gun "storage" porn

    I talked to an engineer buddy of mine about making a "gun room" in an existing building. His recomendation was to frame it with metal studs (fire proof) and then sheet it with doubled 5/8" plywood to prevent anyone from busting through with a sledgehammer (can happen with cinder block) and then...

    stripped allen screw removal

    If you have read this far you are interested in getting stuck screws and stuff out...I have a tool from snap-on that has been a God send to me. I wish I knew the name but it has a handle with an in-line 3/8 drive on it. You put a 3/8 driver bit on, put it on the part you need to loosen and hit...

    Best 243 bullet for deer?

    I know a lot of people love the partition...I/my son had horrible luck with them out of a 6mm on deer. Accurate but did not expand AT ALL. I grew up with the 243 and killed lots of deer with Sierras...I think the the 85gr and I still like them. I have killed eveything up to caribou with the...

    What to do with adjustment caps

    First of...thank you everone for not laughing at me too much. Also, all of the inputs. I think I might try the lanyard idea; sounds like just what I was looking for. One more thing I would like everyone to know; I just called Nikon about a replacement cap and they have one on the way at NO...
