This is the tips and hints thread. It is to help newcomers by providing information in a concentrated format. Anthing that you feel needs to be added, send it to Chuck (big6x6) or myself and we'll add it to the list if we feel it should be added.

Grouse said:One very important note. Stay away from the Magnum XTP'S. The regular XTP is ideal for the Savage. Both shooting and on game.
