On a lighter note I'm ready with my super light 12 ga. 1 oz. 7 1/2 loads at 1400 fps. They are deadly at any range! Fun stuff! Shooting north Tucson area water holes.

I don't think the expanding issue is anything to worry about. One thing to consider is that monolith bullets are longer and require a faster twist.

I started my shooting career with fixed power scopes and still use them. Todays variable power scopes offer great reliability and performance at a great price. It's a sacrifice to go hunting with a fixed power scope in my opinion. You don't know the range or conditions you will be shooting in till the opportunity presents itself. A variable will give many more options!

I'd like to hear how quickly one gets repaired when something goes wrong.

Thanks. Too short for me.

Barrel length and was barrel factory threaded?

$400-500. Sell ammo separately.

The Xbolt and the BAR are two different animals. With that said don't handicap your 7-08 with 140 grain bullets especially for a small animal like Coues deer, 120-130 grain will get the job done in fine fashion. The BAR will like a bit quicker powder so don't leave out H4895 or N140 as well as Varget and H4350. I would recommend two different brass headstamps so you can keep your two loads separated. That seating depth that will work for your Xbolt will not work very well in your BAR. Stick to magnum primers for both. Fire form your cases first before working up a load. Once your case are fire formed don't mix in your two chambers. Don't use factory ammo for your brass unless you don't have a choice. Been shootin' the 7-08 for 50 plus years. Have fun!

Savage did have a great 22 when they had a joint deal with Anschutz, Savage/Anschutz rifles!

The model 64 Match did not have a sub model. It was the entry level firearm to the Match 54. The 64 action was used on several of the sporter models as well.

It might help if you let us know where you're at.

Any of the current ammo is safe to shoot. It's pretty low pressure so nothing that would damage an old rifle. Clean the bore and chamber well. Many of the older rifles have a build up of lead from shooting cast bullets. A high lead build up can result in high pressures that can damage the gun and result in some pretty poor shooting. Of course chamber pitting and bore pitting from rust can also result in poor performance. I would buy the necessary components and reload.

There are several on the market but the question is who can mill the slot in your action for it. You may want to contact a few smithing places and find who will install it first?

These all came in from CZ in 2023-2024 and still coming in. The trigger in single action is about 5 lbs. My 8 inch is much more pleasant to shoot than my model 29 but it sure is bulky carrying in the field.

Go to: Sherman Wildcat Cartridges for load info. Note Retumbo is a bit slow for even the heaviest bullets. You may want to consider H1000 or N565.
