I have a lefty friend with the Stag left hand version. He has said that if he could do it again he would have bought a normal rifle to make it simpler to get it running in case of a part failure.

What customization do you need? If you only want a white light and sling attachments then I would recommend a S&W sport and additional Magpul furniture. You will have no problem installing the Magpul stuff. For a budget rifle this would be hard to beat. IWC will hook you up for sling and...

I know nothing of the 7mm WSM but my friend who owns a range near my home loves the 7mm SAUM. He has built two rifles just alike in the last six months. Savage actions, 26" straight taper barrels, and McMillan stocks. I was quizzing the smith who built the guns at our last match and he...

Several guys at the local 600 yard range do fine with the LTR's 20" tube. One even reports that he has no trouble shooting his 20" .308 at the 1000 yard Husky range. They certainly look cool with the short barrels.:D

wood stock + ss barrel + black scope?? I would do it just like that although your taste may be different. I would buy a matte Weaver T09-M base, matte standard Weaver rings and the best matte black scope you can afford. I like my Leupold 3x9 Compact with Adj. objective but it's not being...

I've always thought that most silver aluminum scopes don't match the steel rifles anyway. Sometimes there is a big difference in the color. For that reason I think a black scope looks better than a silver one. I'm also a habitual rifle painter. Any stainless big game rifle of mine with a...

Oleg hit on the problem that I think is most serious with my Savage scout. The glare from your head not shading the Ocular lense could be a problem. I noticed it mostly during dusk in a stand where the sun sets over my left shoulder. I looked around through the scope and couldn't find an...

The barrel can take more rounds than most rifles will ever see.

I posted a link in a thread on TFL a while ago. Here is the link. I think I found somewhere that he is refering to a metric mag but I could be wrong. Good Luck I would like to have a 20 rounder but I've become so used to single loading that I seldom use any mag capacity although if I...

Hi Steve and Sven I've noticed that Kelly McMillan is often referred to as a "she". The Kelly that I'm aware of is a he. Just thought you would like to know.

I plan to use a base from Ken Farrell. link I think Badger Ord. also has bases for the new reciever. I've heard that two of the standard front Weaver type bases you mention will also work. This method will be much cheaper than the others. I spoke to Leupold the other day and they...

Just a thought - Isn't the mag box on Savages removeable? If it is then I would think that Savage would either sell you or your smith a long action one. I assume the cuts on the action are the same for short and long cartridges. I had a windfall also. I'm looking at the model with the...

twoblink - You have got it all wrong. Reloading is cheaper than buying factory ammo. Just think of all the money you will sav..umm, well you will get to shoot more, much more.

I found the cheap ammo to not be very cost effective. The ammo wasn't consistent enough to tell if the error was me or the ammo. I bought my 10FP in .223 to be a high volume shooter. I planned to use the 55 Gn. FMJ Win. value pack from Wal-Mart. I then found out that I could barely hold 1...

Keep it and quit being paranoid. You have a very well built rifle. I prefer Savages but the Remington does seem to be more refined. I posted on the other thread that I saw a handle be broken off. The idiot was trying to blow up his rifle with way to much pressure. He was blowing primers...

Mike, Just don't lay it down in the snow this winter. :D

Here is my Scout.

That smiley put a smile on my face. Good shootin.

Do you have a Wal-mart close by. My Wal-mart has them for around $10.68 + or - a buck. I haven't seen them on the web any cheaper. From what I've read you will be better off with the factory Ruger mags. I like the Volquartsen hammer and mag release. You can do the auto bolt release...

It is unethical because you cannot guarantee a quick clean kill. To many things can happen at ranges over 200 yards. The game can move as the trigger breaks, wind could cause a bad hit, range estimation could cause a bad hit. You owe it to the animal to do the deed quick and clean. I...
