I recently purchased a savage .308 and finally got a scope for it. This is my first rifle, so I don't know too much about different kinds of ammunition. I need a decent practice round, something I can shoot a bunch of without breaking the bank, and some good "performance" stuff also. Any...

This is super strange. "Do you prefer the standard American or metric system when measuring wood to build your birdhouses"? Tell your Dr. it's none of his business. Well first, ask what it's for, then tell him it's none of his business.

I'm Looking to put this scope: http://www.opticsplanet.net/vortex-riflescopes-crossfire-4-12x40.html With these bases: http://www.opticsplanet.net/weaver-top-mount-base-pairs.html And these rings: http://www.opticsplanet.net/weaver-cross-lock-rings.html On my Savage Edge .308...

If you can use it and control it, there's no reason not to go with .45acp. I'm looking at a glcok 21sf for my first gun and I'm already getting pretty good with it :) Just let him practice and use different things and he'll figure out what he likes.

Like pikid89 said, any glock will do. very simple, no unnecessary switches or buttons or anything. Probably 9mm for maximum ease of control.

I too am a new shooter, and my buddy and I just shot a bunch of .45 from a glock 21sf (nice gun by the way) last night. I was all over the place, then I remembered some tips on here about taking up slack on the trigger before firing. It helped a ton! When firing, I didn't realize how much the...

Definitely not anywhere near 1000 yards. I could stand a 500-600 yard cap on it. And I'm still aiming for around $200.

Thanks for the .22 suggestions, I'll keep them in mind. The new half to my question...have you guys had any experience with the 45 GAP? I don't know why glock doesn't make a compact .45acp.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Looks like I have a bit of homework to do now.

Thanks for the input. I didn't pay a ton for this rifle so I'm looking to keep it in the $200 range, preferably less but it's flexible. Right now a vortex in 4-12-40 is looking promising.

Hey guys, I recently bought a new savage in .308. It's the first rifle I've owned (shot boatloads before) and now I need some optics for it. I've been reading about scopes, or the parts i can understand at least, but I'm still a bit lost. I'm mostly looking to do long target stuff, but I...

This may be a stupid question, but is .40 ammo readily available? Not like the somewhat obscure 10mm or anything?

Thanks guys. I've been looking at the 17 too, but everybody gives off the vibe that the 9mm just doesn't have the "knock-down" that the .45 does and therefore is sub-par. I'm still a bit torn between the two.

I've been looking to purchase my first handgun, I've shot quite a few, and I've pretty much narrowed it down to a Glock 21. I am wondering if any of you guys have had any personal experience with this beast. Any other positive input is appreciated too...

I recently shot a remmington 700 sps .308 and loved it. I was just wondering if anyone knew what the same rifle would be from Savage arms.
