I bought a 340 Alaskan and a changed to a weatherby sporter wooden stock and it took a few simple modifications and some JB Quick because of screw locations. I bedded the recoil lug only and it shoots way better, the stock is lighter and it feels a lot better.. Just one option.

I'm waiting for my CLR bolt with new firing pin to get back from NULA. I got a new Wolf spring to correct the misfire issue and while I was setting up to put the new spring in the sould of metal hitting the concrete floor sounded the death toll for the end of the firing pin. :x The rifle had...

Fotis, how do you like the 17 Hornet?

She's a beauty and she speaks with authority! Elk hunting anyone?

Chances are that someone other that Savage will make a rifle for it or once Savage has sold a few they will have a latest, greatest version that may be upscale. IMO

I wonder what the ammo will cost? I've been thinking hard about a 17 Hornet but this may be better.

Ya, I dropped it when I was replacing the spring with a Wolf Blitz striker version. High tempered they are. I'll give Melvin a call. Thanks

Does anyone have a colt light rifle firing pin they can sell?

The Savage accuracy mystique strikes again. I've been running the 150 gr. Aubonds at 3350 fps. Real good long range energy.

There's always the good old muzzle brake. I have them on all my heavy weights up to 416. Ear plugs don't bruise my shoulder or make me flinch. Just a thought.

That's a fine looking and well built rifle. Congrats! Depending on what you plan to hunt you can shoot quite a ways with the 260gr Accubond at 3080 fps. Thats almost 5500 FPE. It takes elk down way out there real nice. I use a 4.5-14x40 Leupold B&C on mine.

The new low end rifles have a little flair and probably shoot as good or better than the old standards from 20 or 30 years ago but you can see the cost cutting effects. As I remember the Savage 110 was junk back in the 80s, as was the Remington 788. I've tried the Mossberg 4x4 in 338 Win. with...

Sportsman's warehouse here was out of most brass and primers. I bought a pound of powder with no problem. The bullet and ammo stocks were OK. Anything AR was flying out the door and 223 ammo is scarce to none. It looks like another dry year. On the good side there is a lot of real cheap...

The 8 Mag is an awsome round and you have it shooting real nice. That should take some game for you.

dubyam, I used the grind to fit and it snugged up real well even with the slight arc the stock has. I did have to drill one new hole in the pad to match the screw holes in the stock. I fired 12 rounds of ammo thru it working up velocity loads and got no shift. If I notice any movement I'll glue...

Thru the years I've had the best results with the higher velocity rifles with the Accubond. For impact velocities in the 2500fps or less a lot of cup and core bullets work just fine and the partition is, of course, the best. I don't choose the partition for 3000+ fps bullets because I find the...

I bought a CLR in 30-06. The trigger is a little creepy but It's such a simple setup that I simply honed the contact surface and it's under 3 lbs. I like a little creep in some rifles. The accuracy I'm still working on but it will be under one inch for sure. It holds tight groups at 50 yds while...

I'm thinking it will be the 378 Bee necked to .35 or 9.3

Good looking rifle Guy. I'm still dragging my feet but I hear they're getting prescious. I like the backdrop in the picture, a rifle is just a tool.

Losing weight helps get me up the hill better but the rifle is still hanging on one shoulder and the muscles that hold against that uneven load get tired and my shoulder sore. I used to think 9 pounds was plenty light but lately my 8 lb loaded 338 RUM is the heavy weight. Even the 416 is just...
