    Savage factory lobby and museum

    Recently I had the opportunity to take advantage of an invitation from Al Kasper to visit the Savage Arms plant in Westfield , Massachusetts. Al is the president of Savage Arms, and extended me several invitations when we met at the last two S.H.O.T. shows. Although Ive been busy with the shop and new products, I figured Id been putting it off long enough. ...

    The decision to take a perfectly good rifle apart and start tinkering around with a wildcat chambering was a difficult one to make. However, in time I made my mind up that I had to have something unique and different. The choice was simple; it would be a .257 WSM.     ...

    Mil-Dot Reticles: History and Use 

    Published on 08-16-2004 02:32 PM
    Fig 1--A Radian (Rad) is the angle formed by the two sub tensions

    With the growing popularity in the shooting world of Mil-Dot reticles in rifle scopes, I thought I would take a little time to explain what they are and how they work, as well as some differences in the commonly available models on the market today. The mil-dot reticle is primarily used as a range finder. The dots and spacing are of known sizes and ratios and can quickly be used to estimate the range to a known sized target.

    When Chris Spera approached me about doing a review of his muzzle brake, I didn't quite know what to do. The only brakes I had ever experienced were old style that made more flash and noise than anything else. Chris claimed to have an improved "on/off" design that he makes by hand. I have seen these in a few different configurations, but have never had the opportunity to try one out. ...

    Model 99 Design Changes

    Instead of getting into models and variations I thought Id take down a few 99s and have a look at the changes made to them over the years from when John Marlin was putting them out for Savage in 1896 right up till they were discontinued. When a rifle goes through over 750 different procedures before its made into a rifle some things are going to change over such a vast span of age and manufacturing, here are some of mine which are an 1895, an 1899 pre-90,000, a pre-mil 99 308 and an A series 99C 22-250.

    I wanted to get a better recoil pad for my 114W. After looking around, the Limbsaver from Sims Vibration Laboratory (SVL) caught my attention. It looks like an ordinary recoil pad and I was skeptical about SVL's claims. I called SVL and told them what I wanted and they said the Limbsaver will do everything a recoil should do but ...

    Scope Mounts: Getting It Right The First Time 

    Published on 02-16-2004 11:54 AM

    One of the most frequently asked questions we see on the forum is in regards to scope rings and bases, more specifically what combination of the two will permit clearance of a scope with a specific size objective lens. Obviously with the limitless number of possible base/ring combinations available this can be a difficult question to answer, but the information provided below should allow you to determine exactly how much clearance is necessary for the scope you have selected to mount on your rifle.
