The problem with Savage stocks is that they have changed the bolt release and the magazine design so darned many times that its hard to...

I am a hybrid. I trickle every charge when developing a load, stick or ball. Ball is easier for sure. But once I have an accurate...

Dunno -- if I were chasing cool factor, I wouldn't probably be fiddling around screwing together Savage builds on my own! But I hear...

Studs are for local stuff. No way you want them for longer range stuff. They are pretty much like chains that cannot be removed. I...

My thoughts and prayers to you. I lost a hunting buddy in his late 40's to cancer. We knew each other for almost 30 years, from...

No. Multiple shots. My personal record is an accidental 3 with three shots. 2 does and 1 buck. Shot at a doe and she ran. Thought I...

Yeah, well I guess I could keep the barrel in 6.5 CM (which it currently is chambered for) and just chop it off and thread it and see...

My seven decades on the planet have taught me many things. Two of the most important things , IMO, to achieve is 1. The ability to know...

Nice stash. Lets see, at 1500 rounds before the barrel is burned out, that would be 10 barrels? I seem to recall you are shooting...

OK, here is what I learned from my recent other post about 6.5 variants. 6.5 PRC is the "easy" button so to speak, but 6.5 SAUM/GAP is...

I am at that point in life that 200 rds of brass are purchased with every new barrel. Roll it into the cost and then don't look back...

Well, I understand that. And perhaps I should put the barrel up on the ads and see if someone wants it. But its a really really...

Good info. So the 6.5 SAUM intrigues me. Same bolt face (magnum) as 6.5 PRC. 72 gr water capacity in the SAUM versus perhaps 67.5 in...

I have a spare Bartlein barrel in a Savage large shank prefit. Its a M24 (heavy varmint) taper, 26" long in 6.5 CM. About the...
