    I can dial the accutrigger on my Savage down to just over 2 lbs. without any modifications by me. I usually hunt with them just under 3 lbs. I've gotten to the point where I am so used to the Accutrigger that I don't shoot as well without one. I think if people just give the Accutrigger an...

    Glad to know I'm not the only one who likes the Accutrigger. There is much hate out there for any trigger with a blade, and I just don't understand it.

    Yea, by then the bullet has left the barrel. The issue with stock flex that most people worry about is that the forend contacts the barrel pre-shot. If you're in a hunting situation and you are using a tree branch or rock or backpack or whatever to rest the rifle, it could cause a soft forend...

    Those Fullfield II's are so underrated. Most scope for the $ out there IMO. I've had several rifles that have worn them and my current 7mm-08 wears one now. The smallest 400 yard group I've ever shot (under 2") was shot with a Burris Fullfield II at a range in Colorado.

    It's not really the recoil but rather the chance of the stock touching the barrel on hold. This is more of a problem for hunting rifles IMO because you might be holding in awkward positions, or using a sling that can pull the stock at an angle. IMO the Ruger American has the worst stock of...

    I've heard about the "flimsy" Savage forend affecting accuracy probably 1000 times by now. It's a mystery to me how every single Savage I've owned has been sub-MOA, even with that stock. I can't possibly be that good of a shooter. I think the problem is grossly overstated.

    Savage Axis is the cheapest accuracy you can buy today. Ruger American is a close second. Both are incredibly accurate, especially for their price point. Savage really changed the game when they created the barrel nut solution. Now just about every major manufacturer has a rifle with a...

    Savage 110 Scout stock

    Get a scout and drop it in a Boyd's if you really want a .308 with iron sights. As long as it's a 4.4" screw spacing it will fit.

    6.5 PRC The Fastest Growing Hunting cartridge

    I'd buy a 6.5 PRC before I would a 6.5 CM. The 6.5 CM offers nothing new IMO and it lags behind my 7mm-08 in many ways. But a 6.5 PRC in an accurate rifle would give you an extended range, provided you're that good a shooter. I'm not that good a shooter, so the 7mm-08 maxes out my shooting...

    Chiappa Lever Action .357 - thoughts?

    The '92 I handled was all wood and steel, and had a very tight but smooth action. Functioned like a less worn out version of my original Win '94. It was actually the way it functioned that caught my attention. I was expecting a sloppy mess or something that felt like sandpaper. I experienced...

    Chiappa Lever Action .357 - thoughts?

    Doesn't bother me. Just looking for info. I was not expecting much when I handled it but was pleasantly surprised. However I never shot it.

    The perfect rifle: The 30-30

    Love me some 30-30. My 1959 Winchester was for a long time the only rifle I owned. My son has claimed it now but he'll get it when I'm done using it - which might be a while yet. :D

    Chiappa Lever Action .357 - thoughts?

    Came across a pretty nice looking and handling model 1892 Chiappa in .357 the other day. Not sure I've ever heard of Chiappa before but the rifle felt and functioned just like my old Winchester to me. Price seemed a bit high but then it seems everything is high anymore. Anyone here own a...
