    Which AR for Predators and Home Defense?

    If people are still reading this thread, feel free to check out the Sig M400 Predator. It has tactical features, but a Geissle trigger and an 18" stainless match barrel. I've shot great groups through mine, and it's a coyote killer for sure. I'm looking at upgrading the stock right now, but like...

    Coyote hunting tips

    Always hide your truck and be super quiet and careful getting to the set. Sound carries a long **** way when you're in the middle of nowhere. Also cover your downwind side and expect the worst when a dog is getting near your scent cone. Cold weather and a light breeze makes for the farthest...

    Problems with savage 6.5x284 lrh

    I did the same thing, and I knew about the issue before I bought the rifle, so I was prepared. I took all of the material down, and have had great success since then. It's too bad I'm in Germany for a couple years, otherwise I'd be trying to burn up a barrel this year.

    Problems with savage 6.5x284 lrh

    Hey Muley, I hope filing the stock fixed the issue. It is a known fact that the 111 LRH's have had factory issues with the accustock touching the barrel. They are supposed to be stiff with the aluminum block and chassis, but the excess material is notorious for throwing things off.

    Interchangeable Suppressor/Muzzle Brake?

    Hey there guys, I recently had the hankering to start looking into suppressors for a few of my rifles. The biggest question I have is this. When having a barrel threaded for a suppressor, is it possible/logical to have matching pitch and count of threads to accept a suppressor as well as a...

    Concentricity Issue?

    The weird part was that it happened about 1/2 the time. enough to where I was checking to see if each round would actually feed into the chamber without forcing it. I fired 37 rounds of factory 120 grain NBT's through the gun as to break it in, and there was no faults or abnormal pressures...

    Concentricity Issue?

    20 Q is fine. Distance to lands was done using the Frankfurt arsenal COAL gauge. The fact that my bolt would not close all the way without major pressure in which I was not comfortable doing made me extract the round. If I feed the round as a single, It would only do it on some of the...

    Concentricity Issue?

    Basically think of a patch of abrasion starting at the ogive. obviously like it was just jammed, and when it was removed, the copper was rubbed really hard.

    Concentricity Issue?

    So after loading up my first batch of ammo for my new 6.5-284, I ran into an immediate problem. The round was getting "pinched" into the chamber, and loading was impossible for the load that was supposed to be .010 of the lands. So I thought, hey, I might have had a bad measurement on the COAL...

    Great job on a super nice blacktail. Looks like you're getting ready for goose hunting now!

    Savage long range hunter?????

    The muzzle brake on the 111 is awesome, and although it is adjustable (on/off) I always keep it open, and will probably never change that. The recoil associated with the gun is almost completely negated by its weight and muzzle brake. It is a gun that is a wee bit on the heavy side, so It might...

    Savage long range hunter?????

    Hey there Caleb, I don't have the 7mm LRH, but I do have the 6.5X284. In the process of breaking in the barrel and getting to know the gun a little bit, I fell in love. While I was fire-forming some Nosler brass, I was printing 1/2" groups consistently. I haven't even shot the gun with the...
