    All Around 308

    My 10FP has a 1:10 twist so it should be able to handle the heavier bullets good from what I've read.

    All Around 308

    Thanks. I was thinking maybe a load with the 178 AMAX or 175 Berger VLD could serve as all around good loads.

    All Around 308

    After help from fellow forum members I have completed modifying my Savage 10FP in 308 Win. to where I want it. Now I'm looking for an all around load for it.

    Help finishing my build

    OK guys, I'm looking for opinions on finishing my semi-custom Savage 10FP in 308 with 22" heavy fluted barrel. The rifle needs to be a triple threat of hunting/tactical/target. I'd like to stretch the tactical/target aspect to 800-1000yds and the hunting aspect to 500-600yds max depending on the...

    Anyone else waiting for VortexViper HS LR scope?

    I've been watching and waiting for them to come back in stock at several places so I can order a second one for my Bushmaster AR. I have one on my semi-custom Savage 10FP and absolutely love it. You won't be disappointed with the wait once you get yours.

    Accu-Trigger vs Rifle Basix

    I was thinking about switching out the accu-trigger on my savage 10fp to a rifle basix. Would it be a worthwhile upgrade or would the money be better spent on something else. Thanks

    Help with powder choice

    Should I......

    Thanks for the input guys. I figure 98% of all hunting shots will be 500 yds and in. I'm really interested in exploring the barrel switch idea. As far as caliber would the 300WSM be the way to go if doing the switch barrel? Thanks

So far I've added a HS Precision Pro-Series 2000 stock, JP Enterprises Compensator, Dark Eagle customs large cap magaizines with extended mag release. I also have a Vortex Viper HS LR 4-16x50 scope with UTG heavy duty QD rings. The...

    No offense taken. Guys have been getting good results with the 308 and 208 AMAX and I have no need for a magnum caliber rifle at this time.

    308 Win and 208 AMAX Suggestions

    OK guys, I've decided to have a friend of mine load me up some 208 AMAX's for my 308 to see how they shoot. After doing some reading I'm going to use RL17 inside Winchester brass with CCI primers. The rifle that I'm going to be shooting these from is a Savage 10FP with a 22" barrel in a 1:10...
