At the moment calibers like the 300wm are my favorite. Right now im getting a 280 but a larger caliber like the 300, 338, 7mm, and 30-06. Would do the trick for good sized grains.gun)What do you think?

Hey, I've noticed that cabelas has a cool greenish colored varmint thumbhole stock form boys, but the boyds website doesn't carry it. Whats up with that and is there any way I could get the stock without buying a whole new gun. In particular a stock for a savage 93r17 bull barrel. Thanks for...

I was wondering how much the shorter barrel would lose accuracy. Thanks for your reply!

Hey guys, Recently I was looking at savage's lineup of 6.5x284 Normas and I found two that were interesting: 11/111 Trophy Hunter 11/111 Long Range Hunter Both available in 6.5x284 and both at the included link I believe Savage Arms# At first glance it appeared that the only difference may...

Thanks for the replies, The main problem I have is with the powder. There is few ways to do this and the only one that makes sense has two variables: Powder type and powder charge. Any suggestions on this? I may end up changing gears and start testing the effects of different powders or...

I may end up doing that in the future, but as for now, we would like to just do some research on the project we have. So how about this? For the project, we plan to use a factory ammo and compare it with a similar handload. We plan to use the same bullet, but by using a different powder and...

Hey, For a school project a friend an I are doing, we decided to compare the accuracy of handloads vs. factory ammo. Though I am new to reloading, it has been by experience that I can greatly improve the accuracy of my rifle (.25-06 Rem.) and the effectiveness of the bullet. In addition, when...

It helps, but it is still quite a bit off. I guess that firefield made a mistake when designing the scope. P.S. Thanks for the suggestion.

My scope has the mil-dot style reticle, but the distance between the mils are off. The recticle is made to work in their 4-16 scope at 16x magnification. The mils end up arround 2in at 100 and when i try to range with it, the reading is way off. Okay, basically it is a reticle with dots spaced...

Sorry, allow me to clarify... I bought a cheap firefieild scope. The milradian ranging works with the 4-16 model at 16x so in reality I can only have 87.5 milradian increments which is about 2in. @ 100 Hey, it only cost $65 and will hold 1" @ 100yd with my savage 93r17 in .17hmr...

Hey, I looked at the link you posted, and under "package contents" it lists a mil-dot chart. That might be helpful in determining holdovers, adjustments, and might have stuff on converting mils to in. Personally, with my mil-dot scope, i took a box with a dot and then put a strip of tape...

Are you interested in cash?

By the way, the sportsman's guide has some fair priced ammo usually. I had my dad buy me some at $10 a box. P.S. anyone else out there from SD?

It looks removable, but thanks for the reply.

I have a very accurate savage 93 MK II in .17HMR that will put five bullets in the same hole @ 50yd. Here is how it has been shooting so far: Session 1: Sight it in with 4 power fixed scope. Then I shoot a .75" group at 50 Session 2: At friend's range. Shoot at cans at various distances...
