    Post Hello from Bellevue Washington


    Hello everyone,

    I am a long time savage fan. My first rifle was a savage 93R17 and to this day it is one of my most accurate rifles. My second was a Howa 1500 in .308 that I bought as an action to build off of, since I couldn't find any decent Steven 200s, and so I could practice some homebrewed gun smithing on. Only wish I knew it would cost me an arm and a leg in the end before I started. Now I picked up a Savage 12fv in .223 since the amount I shoot the .308 was getting spendy.

    I do compete in PRS and local matches. As well as just recently went and shot 25 out of 25 at 1000 yards on a 10 inch plate (long time personal goal). Now I am working on my new 12fv in .223. Although until I get the action to stop binding in my new choate stock I might be stuck in the "gun/reloading room" rather than the range. Anyone with tips on dealing with choate tactical stocks and 12fvs would be a god send.

    Finally just wanted to throw out there that I shoot at just about every range within 50 to 70 miles of Bellevue and love to pick new things up from other shooters so if you're in the area PM me and I would be more than happy to set something up. I also have access to some of the local members only private ranges that allow me to bring guests. Included eye candy in post.

    Hi Trigger,
    Nice looking rifle. I can't help you with the binding and have only used Bell&Carlson and lately chassis stocks. Maybe relieve some areas and then bed it?
