Savage released a heavy barrel stainless B.MAG rifle earlier this year, along with a Cabela's only version that has a heavy barrel blue fluted barrel. Every rifle being shipping currently now has a 1:8 twist barrel. Hornady announced that they will be offering the 20 grain 17WSM in their...

No problem. You can send the picture to eric(at)varminter.com . My first trip with the chair was to Texas. It was VERY windy (30+MPH) and I was having a rough time shooting while on it. After that hunt, I spoke with one of the Idleback guys to verify some information about the chair's...

I'm not doubting the issues you experienced, but getting the chair to be solid enough for longer shots was not an issue for any of us using the chair in NE California for Belding ground squirrels, or more recently, in Arizona shooting prairie dogs. In fact, the longest shot of the PD trip (372...

Cabelas has the 25 grain in stock. One box at a time is the only issue (and shipping). Eric :cool:

Thanks. Eric :cool:

OregonReloader, would you please post some pictures of the new stock that Savage is using? I'm very interested to see the changes and how it performs. That being said, my B.MAG shoots great and I have not run into any issues. I hope everyone gets their issues worked out by Savage, because it...

I converted a CZ Scout (Model 452) into a 5mm rimfire and get great results from it. Problem is, the cost to convert it does not justify creating a great shooting, single-shot rifle. I also have a Contender carbine (23" barrel) and a couple of 591's that do well with the Centurion ammunition...

The rabbit jumped in the air and landed, dead. It didn't even know what happened. I've shot some prairie dogs at various yardages (264 being the furthest) and they all died instantly! The 20 grain bullet does a great job on the smaller varmints. I haven't had a chance to use the 25 grain...

Thanks! Here's a few more before I had the stock painted. Eric :cool:

I've had mine about 2 months. I've shot a few hundred rounds and killed numerous varmints with it. It's a fun little gun and is accurate with the 20 grain V-MAX loads (I have not shot the 25 grain yet). Here's a picture from last week's prairie dog hunting trip (a buddy of mine painted the...

Long time reader, just getting around to joining. I shoot mainly to varmint hunt. Sometimes at long range, but mostly <300 yards. Eric :cool:
