Savage 10-FP Finally Range Ready!
« on: January 13, 2009, 12:25:09 PM »








The scope came in yesterday, and I got it mounted up last night. I really like this Bushnell 3200 Elite Tactical. It's really bright and very clear. So much so I just got off the phone with Bruno's and ordered another one for my Savage 12-F/TR. The only problem I had was the 6-48 tapped holes were full of crud, and no way I could get the screws for the bases in. I took it to a local gunsmith and he told me he had a heck of a time cleaning them out. He had to charge me for the tap he used because it really dulled it beyond further use. I wish Savage would use plug screws on the models they coat with whatever it is they use. I had no such issues with the screws on the 12-F/TR. They went right in. The Burris Signature Zee Rings are a pleasure to work with. They really hold nice and tight without having to lap. Another thing I've found is once you get the reticle adjusted nice and straight, it will stay put without moving. Just tighten away and you're done. The bases are Burris Extreme Tactical Steel. I won't get a chance to get out to the range until next week, but that is fine because by then I'll have the 12-F/TR scoped and range ready as well. I've got a half dozen handloads prepared. I'm anxious to see how they both print. For anyone who is interested Bruno's has the best price on these Bushnell's.  Bill T.

This is one of the best things I like about the Burris Signature Rings. You have all but unlimited adjustability without being forced to live with a tapered base. You also can adjust laterally and diagonally as well. Really makes everything less of a headache, and less expensive as well. The Posi-Align Offset Inserts are only $10.00 a set.  Bill T.

Nice rifle, looks alot like the one I have, only with a different scope. I really like mine, shoots really well. Although I haven't shot mine in a while. I will have to fix that soon.

+ 10 on the posi-line rings, they work very well and make up for gunsmith malfunctions with scope mount holes that are not quite right, and I like bushnell ( formally Bausch and Lomb ) 3000, 3200 - 4000, 4200 series scopes, a lot of scope for the money. I think they are a hard value, but a little long in some applications, but high quality none the less.

Thought Pegleg was being a Wise guy till I went back and looked (correct, the first time I didn't even see it because of the NICE rifle. ) But he's right, it IS a nice coffee table.
