S&W 929 revolver. From the get-go it would only fire 5 or 6 rounds out of the eight in the cylinder. I sent it back to S&W, and when I got it back it fired 5 or 6 rounds out of the cylinder. I tried different full-moon clips, and different ammo. 5 or 6 rounds. It sits in the back of the gun...

You might look at a Savage 16/116 Bear Hunter in 300WM (7.75lb) or 300WSM (7.5lb). 23" fluted barrel with a muzzle brake, synthetic stock, Accutrigger, etc.

Actually, the legislation had a couple of sections that were pretty well thought out. One would require states to develop reporting procedures to insure that all folks who meet the criteria for being on the NICS list (criminals, domestic abusers, people adjudicated mentally incompetent...

Add another vote for the Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50. Have been pleased with mine for several years.

If you're worried about cost, you might look at the Savage 16FLHSS in 300WSM. Stainless left hand receiver, Accutrigger, easy barrel swap.

In my limited experience, I've found Savages overall more accurate out-of-the-box than Remingtons. Don't know about these particular rifles.

My first thought. No need to explain why. :D

I'd agree the standard barrel is heating up. I had the same problem with a 300WSM Savage with the sporter barrel trying to shoot F-class. First three or four right on, and then they fell out the bottom. Screwed in a heavier barrel and now the misses are only due to my lack of wind-reading...

I recently got a Shilen screw-in barrel for my Savage Model 16 in 300 WSM, and found that I had to full-length resize all my brass to get it to chamber. I did some measurements and found that fired brass from the two Savage factory barrels I've used measured .542 at the shoulder, and the Shilen...

Story, please. My Ruger .45 wants to know.

I got hooked after my first match last month. I'll be there with my flexy sporter barrel (The longer heavier shilen is 14 weeks out) and undeveloped load. I do have my excuses down pat, though. :D

What's really funny is that the DC Council members seem to believe that if they disagree with a Supreme Court ruling, they don't have to comply with it. Based on their discussions, they're going to go out of their way to impose all possible roadblocks to the legal ownership of guns in the...
