Very nice Fotis. 60 couple years ago my dad once said that if he couldn't have a 30-06, he would want a 300 Savage. The old timers had a lot of respect for it in deer camp.
It seems all stocks whether factory wood or aftermarket synthetic Composits with metal action blocks will shoot better with a little help from skim bedding at least all of mine have and then I've had some that didn't need it. Mass produced stocks are made to just drop in so yeah skim bedding...
Still kicking myself for selling my Savage Anschutz .22 target rifle. Savage was the importer for a while and had their name on the barrel. I used it to hunt squirrels and if I could see a squirrel's head in the scope the squirrel was mine. I have shot Remington 40X Bs and other .22 target...
You DrMike are a very bad influence. (LOL) I changed my meal to country fried steak medium rare, mashed potatoes with brown milk gray that would stick to your ribs and tender green beans fresh from my freezer.
My Cardio and GI doctors would be having a fit if they knew, both want to put me on a...
Ditch the problem brass and move on, then keep a watch on the replacement brass to see if you are having the cases stretch in the belt area, you could have a head space problem or a bolt that isn't fitted properly.
Manufacturer will tell you that it is in specifications and to use factory ammo only.
Happy New Year everyone!
I went to bed at 2300hrs and left the wife who had napped most of the evening to bring in the New Year.
Had to get an MRI with Resolution in the morning and my stomach wasn't having any of the side effects so I was washed out.
Hopefully the day will be better, so I can...
Very nice. I only have 2 rifles still in the factory wood, but both have had extensive bedding jobs to stabilize the wood to maintain accuracy in them. The new carbon poly stocks with a full metal bedding block will usually take a pig's ear accurate rifle and turn it into a very consistent shooter.
Very nice JD, you have to love the medium bore calibers, 358 and up, they just simply work on whatever you shoot with them and surprisingly very accurate also.
Well, it was pre-Christmas, but I guess it will qualify. I was given a MEC 76 12ga shotshell reloader and a MEC 600 Jr single stage reloading press which I haven't checked out and could be for 10ga. since I have a box that was marked as a 10ga. conversion kit that came along with a bunch of...
Great write up Dan and working through the problem.
Though not the same style Model 77 mine is a tang safety and Ruger sent out a replacement trigger spring claiming that the original would cause a lighter than normal trigger pull and offered free replacement springs to anyone who owned one of...
Great to hear they are still getting it done guys. I miss my Chocolate Lab, and these pictures and stories make want to get another but now I'm on the other side and I couldn't keep up with a young dog, so I just look at your pictures and read your stories.
I've seen that with a 30-06 and the old win 150gr Silver Tips.
The deer I've killed with my 257 Roberts were with the Hornady 115 Round nose bullet which was very similar to the Rem core Loc. Turn the insides into jelly and some blood shot meat.
My barrel calls for the heavy for caliber bullets...
