  1.   The only cost incurred for a Savage owner is the cost of the barrel, no gunsmith fees.   A barrel is $125-$200, how much is a new rifle? You don't have to buy another set of bases, rings or another scope. So on average a second Remington that is purchased is probably going to cost $1,000 for everything to shoot the first shot. It costs me $125-$200 and 20 minutes of MY time for me to have a second Savage. It is simple enough that anyone can do it.   Same reason some people have seperate uppers for one AR lower. They are so easily replaced there is no sense in buying a lower for each upper.
  2. They are all going to shoot the same. If a Savage doesn't shoot it has nothing to do with the model number and more to do with the individual rifle.   Because I am a Savage guy I have spoke to probably a hundred Savage owners. I can honestly say that I have only heard of 1 or 2 that said their rifles didn't shoot well.

  4. Depends on what caliber you want. A model 1X is a short action for 223 and 308 sized calibers. Model 11X is a long action for longer calibers such as 300WM, 30-06 and most of the magnums. They actually make a 338LM as well but it is on its own action but a bunch of people are building the 338 Edge on a 11X.   I replaced the number with an "X" because each one has several different models. Like the short action comes in models 10, 11, 12, 14 and 16. ANd the long actions are 110, 111, 112 and 116.   The 338LM is a model 110 BA which is larger than a standard long action from what I have gathered but not 100% positive. I would never own such a heavy recoiling caliber because I am recoil sensitive because of a accident.
  5. Here is a review on a Accuracy Internation stock for a Savage. http://forum.snipershide.com/s4-sniper%92s-hide%AE-equipment/165049-savage-10-aics-2-0-chassis-review.html
  6. If you can change the oil in your car you can work on a Savage.   Swapping bolt heads is easy and very simple. Setting headspace is easy and very simple. There is NOTHING on a Savage that is not user serviceable or user adjustable.   I help people out all the time and most times they are surprized at how easy it is. As a matter of fact I talked to a member yesterday and in a 5 minute phone call I explained setting headspace. That member then shot the gun without issue.
  7. Also don't discount a Savage.   Savages are known for their out of the box accuracy. Something else you can do is twist the barrel in a little more to tighten up the headspace. What that does is makes your brass last a whole lot longer which is a big consideration with expensive brass.   Another great thing about all Savages is you can do a barrel, and caliber, swap in about 20 minutes. And you do it without the need of a gunsmith. The barrel nut doesn't need to be tightened by some gorilla on steroids either. All it needs is to be snug. I set my headspace, snug the barrel nut to lock it in place and then I used to use a hammer and punch to lock it in place. I normally give it one whack and call it good. I have yet to have a barrel come loose. I recently picked up a dedicated wrench set for $30 and it makes life a little easier with certain barrel nuts but the punch method is perfectly acceptable.   WIth a Savage you can buy a spare bolt head in another rim diameter for ~$25 and swap it at home. To swap bolt heads on a Remington requires a new $150 bolt. $25 for a Savage vs $150 for a Remington.   Factory Savage barrels can be had for $125-$200 depending on profile and length and can be installed at home without the need for a gunsmith. So for ~$150 you can have everything to swap to completely different caliber with a Savage. With a Remington you are talking about $300+ to do the same, because of the lathe time needed to set the headspace, and that is if you stay within the same rim diameter. If you have to change rim diameters add the $150 because you have to buy a completely seperate bolt and not just the bolt head. So the cost swap to swap barrels on a Savage is <$200 vs $300+ for a Remington. If you have to use a different bolt head the cost is <$225 for a Savage and $450+ for a Remington. There is no labor cost in swapping in a Savage and once you own the barrel there are no more costs associated with swapping the barrels.   Aftermarket match barrels that drop into Savages are also available for under $350 and require no fitting by a gunsmith.   The cost for a drop in match barrel for a Savage is less than just having a barrel fitted, not including the barrel blank, to a Remington in most cases. Factory Remington take offs rarely headspace correctly so that requires lathe time and that is cost. Most factory take offs cost $100-$150 to have the headspace fixed. Because YOU set the headspace at home it doesn't cost a Savage user a single cent.   Setting the headspace on a Savage is simple. And headspace becomes an issue from too loose and not too tight. I use my sized brass as the headspace gauge on my Savages.   Imagine having your Savage chambered in 300 WM then 20 minutes later shooting 338 Edge or any of the WSSMs. If you have a 300WM then any other caliber that has a .532"-.535" rim diameter can be swapped installed in a Savage in 20 minutes or less. Or you can grab a .473" bolt head and shoot any one of the dozens of calibers that use that bolt head. You could even use a .378" bolt head and take your 300WM to 223 Winchester in under a 1/2 hour in most cases.   It is also cheaper to fully customize a Savage.   Triggers are going to be similar in cost . Whether you keep the Accutrigger, which is better than any factory Remington trigger, or you upgrade the costs are similar with a Savage. The best drop in trigger for a Savage is the Sharp Shooter Supply Competition trigger which runs $110 from Brownells. It is a completely different design than the Timney trigger or Rifle Basix or factory trigger. The SSS Competition trigger is a three lever design that results in a very nice trigger that is both reliable and consistent. It is also comparable to any "match" trigger available for any Remington.   Bolt handles are easily replaceable and CHEAP for the Savage. A tactical bolt handle, complete and ready to go on the bolt, costs under $40 for a Savage. And it can be swapped in under 5 minutes at home without a smith. Most places charge $100+ to put a different bolt handle on a Remington bolt. It costs $50+ to have the bolt handle threaded for a custom bolt knob on a Remington. So whether you replace the entire bolt handle or have the factory one threaded for an aftermarket knob you are looking at $100+ with a Remington. I have also seen several Remington replacement bolt handles fall off because the weld or solder wasn't good enough. It is impossible for a Savage bolt handle to fall off. So to swap bolt handles is $40 for a Savage vs $100 on a Remington.   I would look at the 338 Edge if you are a handloader. It is turning out to be a great long range caliber. With proper handloading it will out perform the 338LM and does it for less. Here is a video of a 338 Edge +P, as they are calling it, shooting 2,700+ yards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqCMfTZuWB8   And if you want to discuss the advantages of a Savage I am more than happy to give you my telephone number.  
  8. Pictures in the movie run from June 16th to July 9th. The injury was on June 15th but didn't think to take a picture that day.
  9. I took a picture a day as it healed, then I made a movie. Gore warning to some, for me this is a typical month. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFauVSHj5kI&feature=youtu.be Enjoy
  10. Bet he has more than just a blue ass. It makes me cringe to think what he did to his back.
  11.   If a polymer sight is placed on the gas block it will get hot enough to melt after 2-3 mags if fired at a fast pace. Even at a moderate pace the heat will likey melt them.
  12. There is a 100% guarantee on the kit. If you buy one and don't like it or it doesn't work or you just want your money back you will get a refund. If you ask for your money back you will get your money back regardless of the reason. If you want your money back because the Congolese dollar tanked or you got a splinter in your foot you will get your money back. Seriously, regardless of the reason, or lack of, you will get your money back if you ask for it.   Think about this, when was the last time you spent just $13 on your AR? Everything else is more than this and NOTHING you will buy for $13 will have such a significant improvement on your guns accuracy. I honestly can't think of anything you can buy for your AR anymore that is $13 shipped much less something that actually has a dramatic effect on your gun's accuracy potential. The trigger is the single most important part of a guns accuracy. If your trigger sucks then everything else doesn't matter.   And this kit literally takes less than 10 minutes to install and anyone can do it. You have nothing to loose and a great trigger to gain.   There has yet to be a single kit returned, ever. In a world were there are people who are never satisfied I have either never sold them one, which I highly doubt, or they can't find a reason not to be unsatisfied, much more plausible.   And what sL1k said is something that has been said since day one, it makes your AR trigger feel like the trigger on a quality bolt action.
  13. Flux capacitors: http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=21 BTW, look around on that website. It is absolutely hilarious. One of my favorites. http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14&products_id=55 The Friendly Cat's Paw $49.95 Motorists and Cyclists alike, As you already know: most states require a three foot buffer for a motorist to pass a cyclist. How far is three feet? Well, it's pretty impractical to hang a measuring tape out of your window. So what is the solution? The KaleCoAuto Friendly Cat's Paw. Simply attach the clamp side to your bicycle and extend the telescoping Cat's Paw. This extends to exactly 2ft 11 and 7/8ths inches. If a motorist passes too close, the spring-loaded Cat's Paw will gently brush the paint of the vehicle and emit a high pitched squealing sound as the (user replaceable!) friendship-blades run across the paint! The motorist will know immediately they are too close, and give you a friendly wave. Whew! Accident avoided. Another KaleCoAuto product that makes sharing the road safer and more fun!* Weight Weenies: Only 113 grams! *Not for use with pedestrians.

  15. I have been told a cheaper way to "shoot" arrows is to cut the top off a shotgun shell and dump the shot out. Slide a arrow down the bore then load the round. Finish pushing the arrow down the bore with something other than your hand. Aim and fire but like my version it isn't very accurate from what I have been told. I have not personally done this so anyone wanting to try it do it at your own risk. Here is a video; http://youtu.be/wD3FqhflaZU
  16. And they left his house in ruin and likely unable to be locked. Sounds like they did the search then left which I find very, very disturbing. Imagine coming home and finding your house broken into only to find out it was LE that did it.   The person who was in charge of executing the search warrant should be charged criminally. The city will pay for the wrongs but it doesn't punish anyone but the citizens because it is their tax money that pays for things like this.   I really wish the officer could be ordered to pay out of their own pocket for all damages.
  17. Old stuff. I made one two years ago but mine was a little different.   Rather than my barrel being integral I made one that threaded onto a 1/2-28 threaded barrel. It was about 8" long and the arrow slide over it after I cut the knock off. The adapter's shaft that was hollow. Using full sized arrows there was too much volume and the arrows would only go about 25 feet. When I cot the arrows down to about 10" they would bury themselves and leave about an inch out of the ground. Shooting into the air it would leave your sight. And yes I made sure to offset it enough that it would not come down onto me.   I used the nail blanks from Home Depot.
  18. She is probably on her way up to some other job.
  19. For those who think muslims, any muslim, is your friend think about this. If a muslim is forced to choose between you or their religion. Which do you think they will choose?   I guarantee every single muslim in the world would try to kill every single non muslim if they thought Allah told them to. And I am honestly surprized some mullah hasn't come out publically and said that. That was always our fear every time we heard the call to prayer. That they were secretly saying kill the infidels.   They all believe in, and would die for, the Koran and Allah. And the Koran is filled with hate against non muslims. It isn't just a few radicalized individuals, it is every single muslim on the planet that belive the same. They are intolerant of non muslims look for reasons to get upset every chance they get. They demand that we become tolerant of them while at the same time they are intolerant of everyone else. And if one muslim is upset then every other muslim within ear shot is upset. Turmoil draws them in like moths to a light.   I will give you an example, we had an American worker pick up what he thought was a piece of paper. He seen it had the local writing on it so he asked a local what it was. The local flipped out and the American came to us because it was one of our locals that was flipping out. Well within 15 minutes we had a full blown riot inside our compound demanding we behead the American or the mob would kill us all. It was touchy for the next 24 hours but eventually the group settled down as we tried to explain it was an honest mistake. The problem? The piece of paper was a page from the Koran and a non muslim had unknowingly touched it. They wanted to have the guys head and if he wasn't with us they would have killed him. Now imagine the same thing here except someone finds a page out of a Bible. Most would just throw that page in the trash without giving it a second thought. We had to keep the guy in hiding for a day or so then fly him out under armed guard because we still had locals that wanted him dead.   For the video linked above, make no mistake he IS a die hard muslim and would kill every single person who criticized his religion if he could. He is a charismatic person so people think he is not a die hard muslim but he probably is more so than the last suicide bomber. Every person who claps in support is a fool for being fooled by him and his charisma. He even admits the muslim religion is not a pacifistic faith.   The muslims want their religious beliefs to be the predominent belief all over the world. It is a slow process, or at least used to be, but now it is gaining steam. Look at Europe, they have groups that are causing grief to non muslims. They have taken over and are using threats of mass violence to get their demands met. They demand that they use their own laws and values even when dealing with non muslims. This is how they will take over, slow and methodical.      Here is a video that explains a lot more than most people know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmQOWJ5_kKU
  20. I have several of the same "devices" loaded with the same stuff. I guess I should protect the ununsed one up now but it was more of a backup in case my primary crapped out.   Iphones are relatively cheap and make great storage devices for PDF's. They are their own reader too so you do not need a seperate device to read the PDF's. As long as you have some way to keep them charged, which I do, you can have access to your files.
  21. If you watch the video you will see a REAL suppressor under the Lego sleeve.
  22.   Shouldn't bother anyone if they are that strong of a believer. We, as a country, do not like Muslims because of what some radical muslims did so we make fun of them. Jokes seem far better to do that than what they are doing to all the non-Muslims on a daily basis. They are doing far worse than making a few jokes and if we quit making fun of them today it would not change their own actions a single bit. They would still continue to hurt and kill people all over the world for not believing in Allah.   So, yes, we are making fun of them while at the same time they have and are killing people for no other reason other than they are not Muslim. Which is worse, a few words that get laughs or killing innocents?   I honestly hope our jokes brings lifelong sadness, torment and shame to those who are killing in the name of Allah.
  23.   How dare you...Blasphemy I say.......
  24. So about the guy reading the Cosmo. He doesn't have a wedding band so he is likely not married. This leaves me to wonder WHY he would have a copy of cosmo just laying around. I mean seriously why would he have a copy of it other than for his own enjoyment. If he were married I could understand but he isn't so why does he have a Cosmo?   Perhaps it is because he likes the articles and is trying to get in touch with his femine side.
