Hi
I've been a happy owner of an SKS and a Mosin since July, but today I bought my first "modern" rifle; a Savage Trophy Hunter ( in 308 ).
I put it in my gun vice and inspect the bore, and was surprised to see that the bore is less defined in the Savage than my older rifles.
Is this down to improvements in bore materials, or have I just bought a factory reject
Thx
What do you mean "less defined"?
A Government of Laws and not of Policies.
there's this point of view that shallower rifling is beneficial.
I guess it led to the polygonal and 5R rifling.
The rifling is shallow when compared to the Mosin/SKS.Originally Posted by Alpheus
might be more accurate, as less bullet deformation due to the "engraving process" of the jacket into the rifling. I'd pick a crappy Savage over any SKS if you want accuracy.
My Grandfather always said " Kid...............if you meet more than one arsehole in a day, chances are you are the arsehole. "
savage is button rifled and surplus soviet is broach (cut )rifling both good
