mike if you have never been there it for somebody like us it is like a kid going into a candy store. It was really something when the big man ran the place. Let us know what you find.

Good deal glad they let you in they are some pretty good people to deal with. Do you think you got the last one? When I got mine it was in the box but they still had one on the shelf.
 
They had a blued with a black stock left at least.I looked at the camo 1 first & for $30 more I told him id take it.It will prob be next week before I get a chance to shoot it but cant wait lol

Warnes are a good choice, don't get aluminum bases & rings as I learned the hard way...
 
ordered a bottle of VIHTAVOURI N110,will start learning with that & move to other powders if I cant find a accurate load,also ordered a dipper set & will buy a electronic & ck accuracy with the dipper set.hate to blow my new rifle up lol
 
I use the dippers to get close on a beam scale then use a powder trickler to dial it in. Some people like the dippers but when you check them with scales you'll see why they are useless for getting an accurate load.

Not sure if yours came with dippers, but my savage didnt have dippers either.

Good luck mike243
 
I may be wrong but I thought at one time they came with dippers in the box....I bought mine used, it did not come with dippers..I bought a digital MTM scale off Amazon for $26, that was recommended to me by Fullstream.

I dont think the dippers are very acuurate.
 
No mine didnt list them in the parts breakdown either.it did list a wrench for the plug but it was subed to a socket which was fine.i need to send them a note i got the message about that also.i was 4 minutes late getting there so i basicly grabbed the gun & ran.didnt want to hold them up.is a beam scale better than a didgital? My first thoughts would be yes as it cant get out of calibration.
 
Mike what bullet are you intending to use with the n110 and what weight charge you planning on trying? I was told over on dougs to only use n110 with 250gr and lighter bullets and to not use it with the 300 grainers. Also only shoo 42grs max with a 250gr bullet.
 
Mine came with a calibration weight so I can check it as often as I like.. no problems so far...Fullstream has used one for 6yrs no problems...I think the digital scales are a little better now than in the past.
