Nice job with the bedding! I did mine as well and also used that same article as a reference. |

any one have a pencil barrel savage in a heavy barrel channeled stock like a boyds rimfire hunter or tacticool? wondering how much space is between the barrel and stock and what it looks like.

Now I need rings, a stock, and bottom metal. S/F Al Incredible price, bit of a long wait, but incredible price. Where was this from, or is VAP some sort of law enforcement acronym that I don't know? With shipping, I'm finding it for around $269........and that doesn't include transfer or FFL fees

can someone answer a question for me? my markII likes slower ammo. groups from my last outing were good but the remington subs i was using were grouping the best at 50 yards.
this was the 40 grain rem subs, 10 shot group and i made the correction on the last shot to see if i could get the red. 
everything else faster(cci 36 grain blazers,fiocci 40 grain and remington 36 grain hollowpoints, all rated about 100 to 120 fps faster than the subs) was twice the diameter group size.so what gives? i know i need to try a few more different brands to find the best for my set up but why do slower bullets work better? |

They're 45 minutes from me and I always call before I go for anything. They'll answer the phone 50% of the time. When I got their email, <1hr before posting it, it said they had 23 of them. I've never dealt with them but signed up for countless alerts while searching for mine. I try to post those alerts here if they're still in stock by the time I see them, just to help others out. Shot my FVSR a little bit yesterday after a multi-gun match to figure out the drop out to 100yd (200yd range was closed). I'm zeroed at 25 w/ CCI SV, +1.25moa @ 50yd, +8moa @ 100yd. I planned to do the same with Fed Automatch but my targets fell down and I was too exhausted to put them back up  . The adjustments on the APT could be a little more precise but for the price, I'm pretty impressed with this scope.
ETA: Finally measured my groups from Saturday at 50 & 100yd. Only shot a few 10rd groups at 50yd and a few 3rd groups at 100yd, both of which measured 7/8". Next time, I plan to do 5 10rd groups at 25, 50, 100, and 200yd. I'm really getting excited about this rifle, my first bolt rifle! |

I gave up trying to get a FV-SR so got a regular heavy barrel with accutrigger. I love it more than the 10/22.
Here it is in a unfinished Leopard stock, awaiting new rails and scope.  |

Shockwave propagation/compressibility effects destabilize a bullet as it is flying through the sound barrier. Subsonic is more accurate with .22's. The lighter, supersonic .22's slow back down to transonic at around 30-50 yards, and that is where you lose the accuracy. For long range work, you need a heavier bullet that stays subsonic the whole way. |

There are so many people trying to make AICS chassis and more wishing they could. I'm sure with the combination of quality wood and the growing popularity of the MKII this will be a hit! Do you plan on offering it in a painted finish? OD maybe? I really wish you guys would do a new version of the R22!  |

On the Leopard stocks for the Savage Mk2, we will only offer them in unfinished wood but I am going to have a how-to to get a black textured finish on there with no wood grain showing through. I was hoping for this week but not sure yet. Maybe a also a 2 tone green/black how to instructions. Its really easy. |

I got the Boyd's stock and bottom metal. All I can say is nice stock feel and finish but total fail on execution! The front pillar screw cannot be tightened due to the paper thin metal and huge gap between front pillar and stock. Trigger guard rear hole is too large for the tiny screw that was sent with the kit. The action and stock are literally being held together by a couple of threads on the pillar located in front of the trigger guard. I am sure with zero doubt that I could pull the barrel and action from the stock with little force! This stock and kit is a total POS and the worst part about it is that I have no idea what I did with the receipt to return it to them!
There has got to be better options out there for a stock and bottom metel. Clearly this isn't it! What a f'ing joke!!!!
