  1. If you keep an eye on the used gun market you can find the Savages for cheap. I picked one up today for $250 and it included the bases and rings. It is a good clean gun that will be used for my next build, just don't know what.
     
    Dolomite


    Yeah, yeah. Rub it in. ;).
  2. Watch 'em.  Mine finally shipped with no notification.  I got a call from my FFL that it was here and I had no idea that it had even shipped.  No updates on the order and no email notification that it had been sent out.  Their communication skills suck.


    Exactly same here. CCA called me on Monday, I picked up on Tues. I bet it still shows in shipping.
  3. Ruger offers 5 and 10 round polymer mags. Although I doubt it would make a difference in the action.


    The polymer make a huge difference. The AI steel mags wiggle and Cycle roughly. The Ruger polymer mags are much better,plus they are much cheaper.
  4. I have one. I live in Knoxville near Gander Mountain PM me if you are in area.

    FYI, my biggest gripe is the steel mag. It makes action feel gritty. Honestly, I have not fired yet, but the setup feels really good. I added a leupold scout scope with warne lever throw rings.

    PS: if you plan to make this a tactical platform, look for something with a rear mount scope. I see lots iof guys messing these up. Mine has a SA socom 1 with walnut stock as a twin. The light weight of ruger is really nice. Really handles well.
  5. I agree with OS. PayPal is nothing compared to most banks, credit card and EFT exchanges. Read the terms of service on the accounts that fund your PayPal accounts. We are all sleeping with the enemy.

  6. I don't disagree with much of what has been said. What caught me off guard is this occurred around 11pm in a very affluent area within a mile of my home.

    Aside from not carrying, I was equaly bothered that I briefly lost my situational awareness. As we pulled into parking area, my wife made the comment that one of the guys looked "like a hyped up cookie monster". As I stepped out of car, my teenage son texted me that we were out past curfew. In reading this text, I totally lost awareness of situation. I regained awareness when lady yelled that she'd been robbed at gun point.

    FYI, I want to clear up that I was not driving and, we hadn't been out partying, it was just dinner with a few other couples that live in a nearby neighborhood.
  7. I stopped in Outdoor Junction just befor panic became widespread. Two guys behind the counter were fanning the flames harder than any other shop that ive visited. One of the guys "had the ban list" and was telling folks that "this one is one, don't put it down because next person will grab it". guys were buying quicker than they could be taken off the rack.

    On the positive side, I picked up a bunch of ammo cans for 12.99. ;)
  8. Last night, my wife and I attended a dinner party. I had consciously placed my carry pistol in the safe, since premium wine was involved and I wasn't driving. :) On the way home, we stopped in a local convenience store, but something did not feel right. Location was a bit too quiet with exception of three parties leaving store. As I attempted to checkout, I was informed that two patrons had just robbed store at gun point. LE arrived immediately, but I am still a bit bothered that I was not adequately prepared.
