I've used 70 gr speer in 1:8 ar platform. Your correct 1" is about the best I could get. Did shoot 3 deer with it, none past 50 yards. 8 point ran about 40 yards but dead. 2 does shot in neck. I switched to 65 gr sierra, better accuracy, shot a buck front of chest exited behind shoulder. 30...

Might be the case with the taxidermist I used for years. Can't get anything back from him. Going on 7 years on a lope euro, 5 years on lope doe and duck. Took a mule deer to different guy and got back in 3 months, will be using him in future. My friends having same issue with 1st guy. Going to...

I just got a 26" heavy sporter. 7.5 twist for savage build. Planning on putting together this weekend. Going to be hunting rifle. For target I would have 28" or longer.

My 243 ai barrel is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Using a savage that was a 6.5 Creedmoor. 26" 7.5 twist. Got a 243 already so I have components. Got some 105 a max and 112 barnes match pluss along of 100 gr bullets, so hopeit shoots.

Oh I agree lapping or honing will getting it closer

Nothing wrong with cnc processes if correct tooling and set up is used. I've made them before on conventional mills and cnc. After interpolation of holes with end mill the holes are finished with high quality boring head. I've held tolerances .0002 - .0004 in titanium.

I do the same

I jumped on a wounded 8 point whitetail in my younger dumber days. It was after dark and we were trailing a deer another member had shot. Found it laying on its belly looking around. My friend convinced me to jump on its back and hold on to the horns and he would stab it. Well I did and...

I've got a 243 ai barrel on order. 7.5 twist, 26 " heavy sporter . Going to go on a savage. Hope it gets here soon

I have chassis taken off a Savage stealth I would sell. But it was 6.5 cr. Not sure it would work on 116 model if I remember 116 is a long action

I have a model 10 ba stealth with the mdt chassis. Hate the stock. Never could get comfortable with it. Length of pull was too short or too long for me, eye alignment with scope was not good. Recently removed chassis and modified a savage accustock and the recoil lug. Added bottom metal. Shoots...

I recently ordered a criterion 26 " 7.5 twist 243 ai barrel for a savage I have. Waiting for barrel, hope it shoots good

My savage stealth in 6.5 cr is large shank. I'm not sure but I think the action is a varmint or 112 but it's called model 10. Kinda of confusing. My other model 10 in Creedmoor is a standard shank. Both short actions

First time in 10 years. Didn't draw anything, mule deer or antelope. Waiting for my hunting partner to check his. If he draws I'll go with him . Maybe I'll shoot rabbits.

I used acetalzolamide on Colorado hunt. Started taking it on way out. Camped at 9000 ft, hunted up to 11,600. No problem with altitude
