  1. Pablo- How is that Lightweight Hunter doing?

    Some of us were discussing the redesigned Savage Scout rifle, when someone mentioned this model. His point was Savage could have based their new Scout on this and come closer to the ideal Scout. Probably correct.

    Anyway, that got me thinking about yours, and wondering how it has worked out. You are the only person I know who has one.

    Well I have not gone hunting. Which is a bummer for another thread or something....

    The rifle I have taken to the range 4 or 5 times.

    I like it, but it's not really a range gun. Reason? When the barrel gets hot I believe the groups spread OR the thing is so light with HOT .308 loads I have developed a flinch! Seriously it IS very light and with big loads, it has a strong recoil, so it's not like I want to shoot it all that much. It functions just fine.

  2. Well I am running a lighter trigger and hammer spring. All I did was clean out the old old grease, wet lube, repeat, dry, install the springs, lube the critical spots and close up.

    SOME of the Colt Trooper Mk III's supposedly had gritty triggers. I guess I got lucky. The thing is, I paid something around $500. I can't exactly remember......but what are Python's going for? Beat and I mean REALLY beat examples are $1500+.

  3. Sold my Glock 20 in 2013. Kept all my accessorizes and barrels.

    And bought the 20SF........

    THEN I bought a LONG SLIDE......and it came with a free 9X25 barrel.....done some mods, made the trigger sweet. What a sweet beast this project is.

  4. What I was hearing about the R-51 trigger was that it was very much like a Glock/XD/M&P trigger, but with a longer reset. However, I was getting this from rabid 1911 devotees. In the case of one in particular, it's possible that any non-1911 trigger is going to feel the same as any other non-1911 trigger to him.

    I think you are on to something Mr. Professor.

  5. Re: Remington R-51

    I heard that one distributor (Davidsons?) shows a preorder price of $318. If that's tried and they will sell for around $375 in local gun shops, they will sell a lot. I'm not that interested, but at that price, I might be.

    My guys at the show are reporting that the trigger absolutely sucks. Not sure if it's an easy clean-up or not.

    OTOH still waiting to hear if the Lone Wolf large frame Timber Wolfs are being shown.

  6. Welcome. Good guys always welcome here!

    I too came back to shooting after a hiatus. Then I went in an acquisition phase. Now I'm selling off some guns just to clear some space! I have sold 8 guns, and working on selling two more. I would say in the last 3-4 years I really came to what I like and don't like about certain models - most of these attributes are not easily detected unless shot and or carried for some time.
