AI stocks have a pretty good reputation, at least over on http://www.24hourcampfire.com Most of those guys know their stuff, but I'm just taking their word for it, having NO personal experience with them. I think you could do just as well, though, with something less pricey, and just have it pillar-...

I think the Colts will celebrate with their wives in front of the fireplace, on Bearskin rugs.

I might not be pretty, but no one said I was stupid! It's fifteen here this morning, with a wind chill of about 4, so my carcass is going to get caught up on some loading until the game. Colts 28-17

The nominal rate is 1-12" like most factory barrels claim to be. That said, if you read around this forum, you'll find a LOT of rifles that won't handle the 40s well, some, not well at all. IF I were to buy a custom barrel, and didn't plan on shooting 50s, I'd go with the slowest twist that WOU...

I'm swapping out barrels because of the cleaning hassles, AND the edge has worn off of the older tube. It still shoots MOA after 4000 or so rounds, but I want something a bit better, hence the new pipe. .223s last a long long while, but they do wear out, and a new pipe is cheaper than a new rifle. B...

Farmers hate snow as much as anyone. Ever try to feed cows with 18" of snow on the ground? The only good thing about it, is the moisture for the ground come springtime, especially if there's been a drought. I'd think Colorado could use the moisture! It's been awfully dry out that way.

Back in 1980, I had a Ford Fiesta (NO, not a Festiva!) a little German Ford econobox, that was a blast to throw around into corners and it would scream. No big motor, but it had guts. Best handling car you'd care to drive. Ford followed it up with the Escort, a gutless wonder, if ever there was one....

Savage's stainless barrels seem to clean up a little easier than their blue barrels, for that reason alone, the stainless VLP might be more fun to fool with. (I just bought a new .223 barrel for my FV .223, and it's stainless, to replace the old wornout pipe, I expect it to be easier to clean, too).

Chuck Hawks has a following, but I'm not in it. The LRPVs I've shot have been measureably better than the regular Savage HBs. Even more important, the heavier tube allows you to spot your hits better, if there's any recoil at all. The right bolt/left port is just handier than all git out, too. I hea...

That is the best looking Contender I have ever seen. I'm normally not a fan of them, too much like work for me, but that one looks GOOD!
