Re: Thompson/Center Venture Predator Bolt Action Rifle .204

I tried to purchase the T/C Predator in .204 last year but none of the Rhode Island deallers could get them. The 1x10 twist was the selling point. I ended up getting the Savage MAX 1 predator, 24" bbl, accustock, accu trigger 1x12 twist. Love the gun has no problem stabilizing 45gr. bullets. Ca...

Re: Ruger M77 Hawkeye Predator & Hornady 45 Gr Sp

My Savage M10 Max 1 Predator with a 1x12 twist 24"BBL loves those 45gr Hornady factory loads. Just under .500 MOA at 100yds, if I do my part. No problem out to 300yds so far. Every gun is different though. Hard to say for sure untill you try them. The Ruger is a sweet rifle. But again, my main ...

Re: loads for berger 35 gr. hp??

I load 28.1 grs. of 8208 with Berger 35gr bullets. My Savage Max 1 24"bbl. shoots sub .5" groups all day long. I was surprised at the drop out to 400yds though. I am zeroed at 100yds, at 200yds it was maybe 3/4" low but at 300yds it was 8" drop and at 400yds it was 18" drop....

F/S Brand new take off Savage accustock

Never fired accustock, Max 1 camo finish still has the Savage stickers on it. Came off a M 10 Predator Hunter Max 1 camo in 204cal. It is for a S/A detatchable magazine rifle. Replaced this stock with a HS Precision just to make it look a little more "tactical". Just for info the ALUM. bed...

Re: DPMS AR-10 Upper Question

Sorry not willing to break up the gun, sounds like yours is a real tack driver also though. If i was you i would just pull the barrel off and have it cut, and recrowned. I had a 24" .223 AR that i did that to and it shot better after i shortened the bbl. I whent to 20" on that rifle.

Re: DPMS AR-10 Upper Question

Last year i bought a brand new DPMS SASS, it out shoots my Rem. 700 Police rifle. So far my best 3shot group at 100yds. is .197". I did not even break the barrel in like DPMS says to. The ammo i shoot in it is 168gr. Fed. Match. Never had any malfunctions with it so far either. Only wish it has...

Re: Savage Max 1 review so far,

Awsome groups! I will buy some 39gr. bullets and try those loads. For some reason the factory Federal 39gr. Blitzking's don't do that well in mine though .75"ish groups. Took it to the range last night, the best group i got was with the new Hornady 45gr. SP. Finally got a .221 group (again 3 sh...

Savage Max 1 review so far,

Just wanted to share that if anybody is looking into the Savage Max 1 in 204, its a winner. I'v tried 7 different factory ammo so far, (havent started reloading for it yet) all at 100yds, and all but 2 brands i shot sub .5MOA. 3 shot groups, not five. That will come later. It will shoot 40gr no prob...

leupold sushade options??

I just bought a VXII 6-18X40 TARGET for my Savage max 1. It came with a 2.5" sunshade that screws in the objective, but it looks like crap! For some reason Leupold makes the outside diameter of the shade way smaller than the OD of the scope. It looks stepd down in size. It threads in fine and w...
