    Finding a good 1st rifle.

    You can't go wrong with an Encore. All the calibers I have tried have shot well. The only thing negative I can say about the Encore is that the barrel is not free floating and they really like to be held tight when you shoot. If you plan to let the rifle rest with no pressure, plan on opening...

    Savage Model 10 BA?

    I ran the Savage tactical in .308 for years. It was heavy but it shot very well. It generally shot 1/2 but it occasionally turned out low .300s.

    Trouble with Remington 338 Lapua

    I have had quite a few different Rems and most do a good job. I played with tensions on the stock, dampers on the barrel. I did neck-sizing I even turned a few necks that I never do for factory rifles. I would have loved to yank the brake but it is a permanent attach job. I scoped the bore...

    Trouble with Remington 338 Lapua

    Strong....obviously you want this to be an easy fix. I love that you want to teach me cleaning, reloading, and shooting techniques all on an Internet thread. I have wasted a lot of time on that particular rifle. It has been a frustrating endeavor. I wish you had enough experience to know when...

    Springfield M1A NM Questions

    My NM with irons, averaged better than 2MOA. With the Federal GM 168 it would shoot 1MOA. Hand loads didnt really do any better than the Feds. The NM shot way better than my ex Armalite AR-10. I could expect 4Minutes out of it. The M21 shot very well with the Fed 175 GM. It could shoot 1/2s...

    Trouble with Remington 338 Lapua

    I originally started with RL25. I couldn't get it to shoot under 1/3/4" with the 25. I tried RL19,22,25. N160,165,560 WMR, H4831 and h870. The 19 "seemed" most consistent for this rifle. I haven't been able to find any retumbo, or h1000. Have a hard time getting powders in Alaska. When...

    Rem 700 XCR 338 Lapua - Yes or No?

    Havent had good luck with mine. I have fired 250 rounds out of mine. It has performed so poorly that I just dropped it off to have a Lilja Barrel put on. The rifle averaged about 4MOA. Sometimes if the sky was lined perfectly and Jupiter's pull wasn't affecting pluto, it would shoot sub half...

    Trouble with Remington 338 Lapua

    I bought a Rem 338 Lap, looked like a nice rifle. I took it to the range, broke it in, after 20 individual rounds, and cleaned in between, I got to shoot my first group. Well I wasn't impressed with the 4 inch group it turned out with Hornady factory ammo so I grabbed a box of Double Tap 300...
