savage

This is going to drag on a bit but it's a good tale. :p Back in June of 2009 when I was living in Hawaii I ordered a Savage Weather Warrior 16FCSS chambered in 7mm-08 Rem for $574.28 and $19.95 shipping. This would be my first, and as it turns out, only Savage. The Weather Warrior was fairly...

So I got a model 99c .308 from my grandpa a few years back. I haven’t had any problems until I had a spike elk in the sights and the firing pin wouldn’t set. It seemed like there was dirt inside the action so I decided I would clean up the inside. I have absolutely no experience in gunsmithing...

It seems that the umbrella corporation of these brands sells scary black rifles :( https://gearjunkie.com/rei-vista-outdoor-gun-debate-nra

I got my self one of those savage A17 rifles that fires 17hmr. While zeroing scope and I was having feeding problems with one of the mags. I was pretty much done and just heating up the barrel to see how the point of aim changes. One of the times the gun didn't cycle turned out to be a squib...

I've been considering getting another bolt action rifle for awhile now, I miss shooting my Turkish Mauser but 8mm Mauser ammo is too expensive to just plink with nowdays. I'm after a .223/5.56 rifle for low cost plinking with the option of hunting small-medium game if I ever get into that. I...

As things have turned out in my life, every rifle in my collection today is a .22 (Rimfire, .223 Remington or 5.7mm Johnson). And while I can and have hunted game up to the size of deer with .223 Reminton at the 100 to 200 yard distances conditions around here impose, I'm thinking I would like...

I have a Savage Mk 1 SVT (in .22), which came as a single-shot. It's the one with the ugly plastic stock and the Williams front & rear aperture sights. On the underside where the magazine well would be, there's a blank cover plate which has a spacer block to fill up the mag well that's molded...

I've been looking for a new 22 bolt rifle. The only requirement I have is that I would like for it to be threaded in the common 1/2x28 thread for a suppressor. The two rifles I have in mind are the Savage Mark II fv-sr and the Ruger American rimfire. Both are pretty close in features. The...

So I've been doing lots of research on both Ruger and Savage. The RPR seems like a fantastic value, but I was wondering if a savage 11 in a chassis could ever compete with it? Part of me wants to build on to a rifle, so I'm leaning toward the $550 savage and getting parts as I go. I mostly would...

Recently I have been saving all my cash and been looking to buy a new rifle, as any good American should. I hope it isn't too ignorant to ask, but what is your general experience/preferences in factory rifles, if any. Lately I've really been reading into Savage, and I am hard-pressed to find...

I inherited a Savage Model 6A from my grandfather. I was informed that some time after his death another member of the family decided to snag some parts off of it, leaving it defenseless and violated. I am hoping to figure out what is missing and replace it if at all possible. I know that I can...

I have a Savage Model 110 in 30-06 that I bought new in 2006. My gun is all factory; no modifications. I am getting into handloading and am experiencing headspacing issues. All my cases are full-length resized and the overall length and neck diameter are below specs. However, a lot of the ammo I...

First of all I want to say that it is awesome that there's a 500$ factory rifle package deal offering the 6.5 x 284 Norma chambering. Normally you can only find this round in a custom or expensive rifle. However, I'm having a hard time finding anyone with a review on the 111 XP in this...
