    Savage 3-8x33mm Scope ???

    I am looking for some info on a scope. I recently acquired a Savage 3-8x33mm scope. I did not know that Savage ever put their name on a scope. :confused: The markings on the side are: SAVAGE-SUWA JAPAN MODEL 3833 3-8x33 <SL> Any info on this scope would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    How Do You Politely Tell Someone You Don't Want To Trade?

    Having been on both sides of the bargaining table, a little courtesy and decency can go a long way. There have been times when I thought I had "more gun" than what I actually had and some very friendly dealers diplomatically pointed it out to me. :o And I was thankful that they didn't let me...

    Pro-Gun Auction Site

    I have been hearing an internet auction site advertised on XM Radio, so I decided to check it out. It is Onlineauction.com and whaddayaknow....They will let you sell guns and gun goodies along with the normal "ebay type" stuff. I hope these folks put Ebay out of business(probably not, but one...

    Help...AMT Backup 45 Field Stripping

    Can anyone tell me how to field strip an AMT Backup .45? I have looked in a couple of my gun manuals and cannot find any info on this. I am sure it is something simple, but I am currently suffering from a case of "Doofitis" which limits my ability to use logic and common sense. Any help would...

    Ebay stupidity

    As much as I agree with the fact that Ebay is being anal (as deej so eloquently put it), it is their business (actually the stockholders') and they have the right to operate it in whatever legal manner that they see fit. I don't think it is illegal to disallow certain items from being sold on...

    Ammo Shipping Question

    How do you guys ship ammunition? I haven't asked, but a sign at the local UPS counter states that they only ship ammo by contract. I don't believe US Mail will ship it either. Can someone tell me what if I am missing something? Which carrier will let private individuals ship ammo? Thanks!

    Recommendation for small carry gun

    Seecamp .32 I currently have a Seecamp .32 with a R.J. Hedley pocket holster. It carries well in jeans, slacks, or anything with a pocket. I has perfomed reliably with Winchester Silvertips, Cor-bon, and Speer Gold Dots, even though Seecamp only guarantees it to cycle with the Silvertips...

    Lop sided 9mm bullets

    I have also experienced this with my RCBS Rockchucker using RCBS dies. I would like to see what some of the more experienced guys have to say about this. It seems to occur more when I use the Winchester cases as opposed to using Remington cases. I have noticed that the Winchester 9mm cases...

    Ran Out of Scope Elevation

    Glad to hear it was a simple fix. Oh well, it made for good conversation anyway. This is how we all learn. Good luck with your range session. Let us know how it performs.

    Ran Out of Scope Elevation

    JW, Like hkmp5sd said, if it will group then it may be worth putting some time and $$ into it. Take it to the range and shoot if for group. Keep your point of aim consistent regardless of where the bullets are striking the target. If the groups are acceptable and the point of impact can be...

    Ran Out of Scope Elevation

    JW, How low is "too low"? You talkin a few inches or a couple of feet? If you are within a few inches, you might try one of the long-range type bases on your rifle. I use one on my 308 that has 20moa built into it. This would give you an additional 20 inches of lift at 100 yds. Leupold...

    10/22 Threaded Barrel Specs

    I have a machinist buddy who is going to thread a 10/22 barrel for me (for free:D ). I know it needs to be 1/2 x 28tpi, but how far back does it need to be threaded? Will the average machinist know how to thread it concentric to the bore and not the outer barrel surface? Will I need to have...

    Savage actions.

    Unless you are on a tight budget (probably not since you mentioned HS) I would not opt for the Duramaxx. I tried one on my 10FP and it exhibited an excessive amount of flex when shooting from a bipod. Not much better than the factory stock. I sold both the B&C and factory stock to come up...
