Re: Remington 541x is it sufficient enough to compete in 4-H

Just a thought since you already have the Savage (model FVT?) might be PDC custom's rimfire stock/chassis. Craig has supplied it to many 4-H shooters for competition. You would need to ask him about the results in competition. He produces a very good butt plate/hook assembly for them as well. The h...

Re: Remington 541x is it sufficient enough to compete in 4-H

Pete has it right. Might be stepping on a few toes, but rifles like Savage, CZ, H&R M12, 541X, even old 64 Match, are not in the same league as Anschutz 54's, Walthers and even Win. 52 or Rem. 40X when properly stocked and with good triggers. There are particularly a lot of the older Anschutz 5...

Re: Remington 541x is it sufficient enough to compete in 4-H

If you already have a 541x, you probably know the stocks are 'not great'. If you don't, take a look at what people expect to get for them, as they're considered 'collectable'. A real target rifle, like a 64, starts looking like a bargain. In terms of raw accuracy, it will probably do the job. It's ...

Re: Remington 541x is it sufficient enough to compete in 4-H

I was able to buy an older Anschutz 1807 with sights for $1200 a year or so ago. Keep an eye out for deals at all the auction houses online Did it turn out to be a shooter? Will a 22lr burn out a barrel like a centerfire? I understand that it may take many more rounds than a highpower but can it ha...

Re: Remington 541x is it sufficient enough to compete in 4-H

well he has a Savage mkii and the problem is that it when we upgraded the stock to the Boyd's "at one" stock we cannot get it to group. The best on bags and a lead sled is a 1.35" at 50yds. It's his 3p rifle. To many variables with the stock not fitting like a glove, as well as the to...

Remington 541x is it sufficient enough to compete in 4-H???

As the title suggests can the old Remy work against the Annies, etc...? I simply do not have several $1000 to spend. I have around a $1000 what would you go with? Thanks, JB P.S 5 foot 10 freshman male shooter. Lots of experience but struggling with equipment at the state level. Just cant keep up wi...
