I picked up a Stevens 270 at Academy for $180. I'll hang on to it, and sometime when I have 30 minutes to spare, I'll stick a stainless 22-250 AI barrel I've been saving on it. Later, I may take an hour and put a trigger in it, and put a decent stock on it in the same hour. Then go outshoot a...

I bet it's a 1-12. Probably still was until 2005; they've always been behind.

Great deal. Now sell the scope, barrel and stock. Then you can buy a B&C stock, a good scope, and a Shilen pre-fit barrel in an interesting caliber and amaze people. Probably shoots good though like it is.

Stocks were made to be modular, and us AR parts. Looks to me like they need to be drilled out to lose some weight.

You have the Colorado Multi-gun in New Mexico? That just seems wrong......

Gun isn't bolted to the table, geez...and this is just how that particular game if played. It's no more pointless than something like........slow-pitch softball. If you don't like it, don't compete in it.

My 11 year old daughter has killed a jillion deer with a 223. It's called bullet selection, and shot placement. And if you want to shoot a 223 at 500, your best bet is Savage, since they sell a 223 with a 1-7 twist (of course, most of their rifles come in shooter twists). Mine does very well at 500.

A long shot is a long shot. You might check with the people who put the show on, they can tell you who the vendors were.

Must have been some Kool-aid.

Double

Who said they do? (And movies don't count)

Get a good ballistics calculator, and you can calculate your clicks at any distance. They're free.

I picked none of the above. A 300 WM will be brutal for F-Class. A lot more efficient calibers out there, with less recoil. And a 24" will work for F-Class, just another disadvantage.

The base you need will also depend on your caliber. Big difference in lobbing a 308, or shooting a 6.5.

Glad I got my G last summer when they were still $319.
