http://store.accurate-mag.com/savageshortactionbottommetalkit.aspx This is the bottom metal & mags. It is indeed a .308, my intention was to end up with a rifle I would be completely happy taking anywhere on the continent to hunt. From Florida swamp to Wyoming prairie. I know there are better calibers out there, but 308 seems like a fine choice for 20-600 yds. I do like those chassisis'ses (dahell's the plural of chassis anyway?) & it would've been a much simpler option, but I prefer a traditional looking rifle. I've read up a bunch on the MDT stuff & if you've wanting to go ultralight weight, that's about as good as it gets. Downside is having to pop an extra $65 on top for a mag.

I 'think' I've figured out my accuracy problems.....

Takes a bit of work, thinking about & shopping around, but I managed to convert my Hog Hunter to a 10-speed for well under $300 Accurate Mag bottom metal & magazine $205 Take-off non accustock from eBay $44 Half an hour dicking around with a milling bit because the stock is for a bottom bolt release.....et voila. This would've been a great budget build....had I not dropped & yes, smashed, the scope.

Say wha..?

Oh and blue cheese. There is NO excuse for it & it tastes like feet.

Liver. It's a texture thing. Tater Tots. Just, eww. Other than that, I'll eat anything I've seen or heard about someone else eat. I've always been an adventurous eater & I'll try anything that's considered food by someone! But not Tater Tots. Ever.

Summit Titan here with a Hazmore Silent Seat installed which is pretty much the best thing I've ever done to a stand! No more metal hooks or buckles to clank around & it shaved a half pound off the weight. If I've got to do much in the way of hiking in to my location, I also use a Lone Wolf hand climber. Not as comfy, but it packs down flat & is waaay lighter. If I could only have one climber though, it would hands down be the Summit.

I have my little Marlin Papoose .22 that lives under the back seat of the truck & a single shot .22 in the toolbox. I spend a fair amount of time in wild places in Texas, Wyoming etc...where spending a night or two in the truck is almost a certainty & getting stuck out there for a few days is a strong possibility Other than that I don't purposely leave anything in the truck. Since the law changed though, I have started carrying s pistol in the truck, but it doesn't live there.

Yessir. Cheapest I found was, again, optics planet.

I actually went with some really cheap ones from Leapers/UTG. I think they were about $30 from Optics Planet.

Ps. If you want to try one before you buy one, you're more than welcome to take mine to the range for a day. . . . Just bring it back!

I did. It's wearing a Simmons 4-12 44mag on a rail with QD mounts. I've only put 22 shots through it since it arrived. 10 to sight in the irons, the rest to zero the scope, but it's such a cool little rifle I can't put it down. It's coming to the woods with me tomorrow. Oh, I went with the QD mounts rather that see-thrus because: A.) see thru mounts are just the worst invention ever & B.) I'm only ever use the irons if I smash the scope, which is a VERY real possibility where & how I hunt pigs!

Marlin 336,.44mag. It started living by the bed 2 years ago. I have NO idea why. I have a perfectly good 12ga. It's just where it lives.

Wouldn't work. The other two would be too busy trying to convert me.

Yep, that's what I paid for mine. I looked for a coon's age & couldn't find a used one for less than Bud's. Incidentally, you'll LOVE it! :)

Yessir. 1956 savage 99 in .300

Actually, this is a field behind my house. Not a tree on it & useless for anything before rifle season!

Started the day like this...... Aaand ended it like this..... I'd love to sit longer on a beautiful morning like this, but work is calling.

Other side, around Beth Page bridge.

Out near Estill Springs in Franklin co. Right on the side of Tim's Ford.

Thank you!

Whoops! Cellphone doubletap!

Man, I wish we had hogs! Been skunked so far this season. Not one shot :( This is my first year on public land after quitting my lease & it sucks! I'll definitely be looking for a lease next year!
