Show me some Savages in PRS/NRL

[Dave Hoback]

110 in 6.5-06, MDT HS3 Chassis, Luth AR buttstock and chubby pistol grip, Atlas bipod, Timney trigger, Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50, Impact precision muzzle brake, factory bolt handle I extended. I had some primary extraction issues at first but the bolt handle extension and modifying the baffle solved it. next one will be a short action.


Very nice! I have a good friend in Arizona who recently had his old Win mod70 action worked & rebarreled to 6.5-06. Once in awhile I think I should have chosen it over my 6.5-08, lol. The 06 was my first high power rifle. Bought it brand new from my local KMART(back when they sold ‘em)when I turned 18! It was a Mod 111 standard trigger in synthetic stock. Soon after I came across some original M2 AP Black Tips. (This was when I learned it was a TUNGSTEN core which caused it to be AP, NOT TEFLON COATING!!) I’ve also owned a 116 Weather Warrior, SS/Gray laminate stock(BEAUTIFUL rifle), also in 06. Needless to say, mixing my beloved 06’s 63mm case with my favorite caliber of 6.5mm just sounds poetic! But I was set on a SHORT action and still wanted it to be magazine fed instead of single shot. So thank you for mentioning something that brought up some fond memories.

Hopefully the link works. This is me shooting a tripod stage at the April 27 SAPRL PRS match. Watch what happens on the last round lol. Only other issue I had was on a stage I couldn't quite get my finger in the GRS stock trigger profile properly and I struggled with working the accutrigger blade. Magazines worked flawlessly for 8 and 9 round stages.
I did see another savage in my squad. He had a 6.5x47 go off in his 6.5 cm chamber. Can you say case head separation!!! He got the case out with a cleaning rod and carried on. Didn't even have to beat the bolt open. I didn't get the story on how he managed to mix the cases up.

Oh I can tell you that Donnie! It’s called NEGLIGENCE! Glad he didn’t get hurt or ruin his equipment. And hopefully he learned something.

I think he said he doesn’t have a 6.5x47 so could have been a mixup at hornady? I know I’ve gotten 22-250 brass in my 220 swift brass before, and a 7mm-08 in my 308 brass, both Winchester though. I think you nailed the most likely cause though.

I did this shooting my 1911. I loaded up a couple of mags and chambered a round. Sights on target, pull the trigger and click. So failure drill, Tap-Rack-and Click again. My buddy told me the cartridge dropped out of the barrel after I cycled the slide. Of course I disregarded his comments because that's not even possible.

Turns out I grabbed .40SW instead of .45ACP. I'd been shooting mostly .40 so the size difference didn't register and they fit it the mag just fine. My Ammo Cans are much better marked now and it makes it easier to find on the shelf too.

I guess my first mistake was shooting .40. If i'd stuck to 9mm and .45ACP that wold never have happened.

This guy actually fires a 9mm in a Glock 23 (.40SW) and fires a .223 from that same Glock. No Kaboom and it actually fires.

The one the right is (read WAS) my 223 trainer. I say "was" because my wife is starting to shoot it in matches, until I get her Bighorn/Proof/MPA finished.

Haha, that's how it happens. I've been thinking about getting a trainer. Not sure if I want to go .22LR .17HMR or .223. I'm leaning toward the .17 but well see.

I like your ammo pouch, how many does it hold? 90? Which one is it? I found these but not sure i\I want to spend $120 for a set.

I cant get pictures working this morning, but here is the IG link for my finish in the Canadian Sharpshooter Classic. I took #1 in tactical division and placed #19 overall out of 103 shooters. This was a sanctioned PRS match at RFMA Academy near Hanna Alberta.

My rifle has changed configuration quite a bit since starting to shoot PRS matches!
