So I am looking to build a new bolt action tactical rifle in .308 and I want to do it on the cheap. This will mainly be a range rifle to 600 yds. I looked into all the options and found I could buy a new Savage-Stevens action for around $240 (plus ffl fee of $25) So... it got me wondering. Why...

I am looking for a reliable .308 that will eat crap ammo if necessary and tolerate a reasonable level of abuse, ie. shooting the crap out of it on a weekly basis. I have narrowed it down to this rifle based on what I have read online and fondling a PTR (not the GI version) at my LGS. Here are my...

http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/25WV I think I might have to buy this. Resistance is futile. Im wondering what the ballistics potential of that cartridge will be when fired from a 22in barrel. Handloads using a slower burning powder might bring out some real interesting numbers from...

I would like a new project... and bullet casting has caught my attention. I have been looking through the Lyman reloading manual for some good info, but thought I would offer it up to wealth of experience on the forum. The main use would be for our small coastal deer inside of 100 yds. My...

There are hybrids among us... part rifle, part shotgun... The savage 220f Slug rifle is capable of 2-4 inch groups at 200yds with the right flavor of sabot slugs for that particular gun. I have heard the same of the H&R slug gun and the Tar Hunt (too pricey for me). There are several federal...

:scrutiny::what::cuss: The smilies above pretty much sum it up for me. What gives?

Lots and lots or choices out there... Just wondering what everyone uses? Been years and years since I have bought a tree stand and I have no idea what's good and what's crap from the pictures in basspro and cabelas :scrutiny: Im about 5-11, 170lbs so I don't need anything extra super...

From 175gr A-Square monolithic solids to 100gr Sierra varmint bullets... 180gr Berger VLD target bullets to 110gr Barnes TTSX (my current project)... This caliber is fantastic. The energy vs recoil is outstanding :what: Varmints turn into vapor (100gr Sierra). Deer go down like they were...

I'm thinking of loading some of the new 110gr ttsx Barnes for the smaller deer in our coastal GA area. Anyone have experience with this combo? I'm thinking (a dangerous endeavor for me) that I can get around 3400fps with these in my marlin xs7 with a 22 inch barrel :scrutiny:.

I was just given a brand new Remington 742 Woodsmaster 30.06 from the original owner, and I know NOTHING about this gun... but I am reading some mixed reviews on the net (with a grain of salt of course) I say brand new but according the serial #s the gun is 31 years old. I have known the owner...

Boyds has stepped up to the plate and will fulfill the request of the guys over on the Marlin owners forum to make stocks for the XS7 and XL7 rifles. Its a no brainer... I'm buying one in pepper laminate. Only question is which one do I want? I have never put my hands on either one and have...
