    Savage 10FP -- WOW!

    re: 55gr vs. 68 gr The barrel is 1 in 9. Now that I have the handloads tailored to the rifle, it really doesn't matter between the Sierra Blitz King/Nosler Ballistic tip in 55gr and the 69gr SMK/68gr Hornady BT match. They'll all shoot tighter than I can hold, but with a slight difference...

    Savage 10FP -- WOW!

    ROFL! Over 5 years later and my thread comes back from the dead. The .223 Savage has become my favorite rifle....it is boringly consistent with just about any ammo I feed it. It also has an odd trait: it groups tighter as the barrel heats up. No worries about the 10 shot groups. <big...

    Good bolt action .223? Look inside!

    Warning: Do not buy a Savage 10FP in .223.....because a little while later you'll end up with a Savage 10FP in .308 to go with it! :D :evil: Best group to date from the .223 is .430" at 200 yards. The .308 has had less than 100 rounds put through it, but has turned in a best group of .394...

    I've settled on a rifle, now where to get that elusive part... (Phx area)

    +1 for Ameetec. I've built 3 of their stripped lowers and have found them to be exceptionally well made. Len in PHoenix

    So his daughter's date shows up...

    My method will be similar to the one used by CGofMP.......the only question will be "shotgun or rifle?" I need a good caption for the second picture, though. For the moment I'm quite happy that the pool of potential candidates is largely made up of kids she has met at the range. Len in...

    Robert Heinlein and guns

    If any of you fellow RAH fans haven't read Grumbles from the Grave yet, you should. The speech transcripts alone are fantastic, but it's also full of other tidbits.........like the fact that Hugh Farnam's bomb shelter was patterned after the one under Robert and Virginia's house in Colorado...

    Question for Arizona residents

    From your map it appears that you will be taking Hwy 87 between I-8 and I-10. If you pass the Buckeye Hills Recreation area at mile marker 144 (about 2 miles north of the prison) during the daylight hours and would like to take a break, turn west onto the dirt road and follow the signs to the...

    Kids And Guns

    IMHO, maturity and the physical ability to hold the gun matter much more than chronological age. I started my daughter at 9 and my son at 6. I've got more thoughts on the matter here, here, and here along with many other places in my blog. Len in PHoenix One in a row...

    "You need to buy better guns"

    The garden hose and football analogies are both part of my introduction speech. I also always pick a couple of kids out of the crowd and have them throw empty shotgun shells at me as I walk in front of the group to show them how easy it is to hit a moving target. My daughter was pulling...

    "You need to buy better guns"

    Last Saturday five of the coaches from my SCTP team held an event at our range where we introduced 75 BoyScouts to clay target shooting. The boys were divided into relays of 10 shooters, and as part of the introduction we asked each relay if any of them had any experience shooting shotguns...
