    savage 6br converted to 308

    My above post was to say I'm very interested in your results with 308 since I just bought the Savage 12 BR in 308. Maybe I should have went the route you did and begin with the 6mm and rebarrel. Believe or not the few times i've fired the BR, as heavy as it is, the recoil makes it difficult to...

    savage 6br converted to 308

    I have the Savage 12 LRPV in 6mm Norma BR, and I also have the Savage 12 BR in 308. See my buttstock cut off in the Gunsmith thread. I've been through quite an adventure with the 6mm BR.

    Savage 12 Benchrest in 308 Win

    I purchased this rifle a couple years ago with the idea of getting involved in a local 100yd group match. I put it on the back burner for a while, then bought a Leupold Competition 45X45 to top it off. The problem is the length of pull is too long and I can't get within the eye relief of the...

    What's with ammo and reloading supplies shortage?

    Here in Virginia, our new Governor came in to office with all kinds of gun control bills, and he has pushed some of them through. What is funny is he says he wants to reduce the number of guns and keep them out of the hands of criminals. What he's done is created such a huge demand for guns...
