A factory savage barrel will be marked with a roll stamp and will have savage arms name and other information and the caliber, and since it is not a 12 twist barrel it will also have the twist rate marked on the barrel. Savage uses a recessed 11 degree target crown, and has no other options. If...

Nice looking site, thank you for sharing.

I have to agree with RG. I think Tony Boyer put the best analogy of this in has book. He basically says that trying to change out to heavier springs is like having a door our of alignment on your car, that instead of putting it back in alignment you just slam it harder. Just because someone...

Why do you think that it is or it is not a factory barrel? Do you have any pictures? Savage is a company known for mixing and matching parts, but even with that It is fairly easy to tell if the barrel is factory or not. On loads a 52 gr Berger, Sierra, you name it over N133 works well.

I just talked to RG yesterday, and he told me all about this, It is nice to put the pictures with the story. Look and sounds like you guys had a great time, Good shooting.

Well hopefully I don't stir the pot too much, and get ban for this thread. I got to thinking (Dangerous thing.) after the last post that James Mock posted about equipment, and thought I would put this up for discussion; Is Benchrest Dying? This question was spawned because of a phone...

Just playing devils advocate, if the equipment is so much better today, then why are there few records set in this time? Look at the IBS score records smallest 5 shot group there is one record set in 2012 everything else ranges from the late 1950'2 on up, with records from every decade. The...

Congratulations Jack, Brad, and Joe. Hope to see you at Shelby

I called Smiley and ordered some new ones, at $4 a piece, I thought that was a great deal.

Thank You

Thank you Tony, I thought about contacting Smiley, and seeing about getting new ones. Just for a back up how do I get a hold of Dave?

Hey guys, I have two propellers on my Smiley flags that are cracked, what is a good glue to use to fix them? I tried Super glue, and it took a long time to dry, never adhered just left a white shadow where the crack is. I tried PVC cement, and it worked a little better, but still did not fix the...

Try asking over at www.savageshooters.com For the most part Savage rifles are well made. In the center fire rifles, in the 10/110 rifles Savage has a long and a short action, and everything else is based off of that. All of the actions are basically the same with just variations. The...

If you have more than one shell holder, it could be very problematic if you set the die up on one shell holder, and then switched to the shorter shell holder. Lets put it this way you would find out latter that your pushing the shoulder back more than you desire, or seating your rounds deeper.

In my experience I have found that Redding dies are a bit too long, and most I had to sand down to get the proper should bump back. You need a tool to measure shoulder bump back, either a piece of barrel stub, chambered with the reamer used to chamber the barrel, or one of a few commercially...

For anyone that doesn't know, (If so you must live under a rock.) Jack puts on a great presentation, and is well worth attending. Thank you Jack for putting this on, I know for one I greatly appreciated ALL the information, I have gleaned from you in the past.

That would be 26.3 oz's right?

I would be interested as well.
