Owning an original Vudoo is like owning a Ferrari F-40 or The finest of Rolexes, or a Holland & Holland Royal Double rifle, without all the engraving and easy to mark up ultra rare highly figured Walnut.

They may not make you a better shot, but feeling the finest of actions, makes virtually every other rifle feel like a 2010 Remington 700.

(For those who don’t know, the last of the original Remington’s defined sandpaper, grit, and accuracy so bad an 18th century smoothbore Brown Bess in comparison shoots like a sniper rifle. )

Driven a f40 a fair bit.. my original Vudoo is nice..but let’s not jump the shark

My son, also 6, hit me up about learning to drive the tractor the other day. He thinks he's hot stuff now that he gets to mow the yard on the zeroturn.

He gets to drive the tractor sitting in my lap, but it'll be a while before he gets to go it alone. I pretty much make him responsible for driving, but I'm in the seat. He's learning quick, and he's surprisingly good at it for his size. Kids learn quick.

I learned tractors at a young age myself. I was riding on one from the time I could walk. At 7 or 8, my grandfather made me move the tractor in position and roll him into the front end loader to carry him back to the house for practice should something happen to him while we were out doing whatever.

He passed when I was 12 and I inherited the tractor. At that point, I pretty much took over all work around the homestead that tractor was associated with, and the maintenance of the machine itself. Still have it today.

So now we have tractors and lawnmowers in here. Sorry. I'll try to keep it on the topic of strictly tractors from here on out.

Technically you can have both,

10 shots of each lot over a chronograph would be my starting point also.

That is if I came up with a good enough reason to mix them.

Before I get to 10 shots, I'll do a series of 3 shots each to cull out those the did poorly. They're easy to distinguish from the good. It's the good groups in that series that's not definable due to small sample count. Once I've identified what what looks like good groups than might be repeatable, then I repeat the test to see what repeats or not, select those that do and then shoot the longer strings of 10 or more in 5 shot groups to verify. Though I chronograph everything, it's the target that determines the good load. . . not any particular velocity or velocity SD. The chronograph doesn't tell me anything more than how well I'm reloading my cartridges.

I wasn’t in the Navy, but it looked to me like the larger Chicom ship cut its Coast Guard ship off to avoid a collision with the Philippine CG. Maybe worried about an incident?

It looked to me more like the PLA guard ship was going to pull alongside the Philippine ship to hit it with the water cannon. They were not actually on a collision course.

New one for me, Ruger made GBL in 45-70 sporting an SHV 3-10 with IHR and a Hybrid 46.

I'm hunting a straightwall/alt firearms season in October and sought this one out to avoid using a front stuffer.

Without us cyclist getting lazy, money grabbing politicians off the stick, and getting those roads paved….you’d still probably be driving though two feet of muck on a vehicle that needed wheels and tires better suited to a model T Ford. (And struggling to get 10mph)

And I’m NOT FAT! .

And besides, why are you texting while driving.

Cannot overemphasize What an impact this movie had on teenage me.

I first saw it on a military base overseas. Actually learned a couple of new names for commies that night.

Gave it to a guy on 24hourcampfire for his son's 10/22

win/win.

I spent a few years as a "ward of the state of Pennsylvania" in a Catholic orphanage, back when PA allowed religious organizations to receive state funding to intercede on children's behalf. We didn't have a lot in the orphanage, but we had enough food and clothing, and a safe place to sleep. I never faced the level of poverty some have, but I lived the "knock at the door and food box" thing when my mom was trying to get us back and had us only on the weekends.

I was in the military in some form (Active, Reserve and then Guard) from Nov 1976 - July 2018. When people would ask me why, I told them I was providing top cover for the nuns at the orphanage. And the lady with the food box. I'd deal with the despots and dictators if they watched over the kids. Some debts can never really be repaid. Every day in the suck was worth it.

Most people I know who complain about being poor don't know from poor. We were "resource limited" but I had my brother and sisters, so I have always counted myself rich beyond measure.

My mom raised four of us kids in 1963 in Louisiana after leaving my abusive dad ,no child support or snap ebt or welfare, never realized we were poor ,but one Thanksgiving morning there was a knock on the door when I went to see who it was there was a cardboard box on the porch and a car driving away , there was groceries in the box for Thanksgiving dinner, I seen tears in my mom's eyes , so I can relate to Merles song ,mama's hungry eyes.

If something like this happens then the judge should be fired. They and they alone have that power, so if they use it poorly it should impact them.

no best to hang them or at least seize ALL their and family assets. send them to live under the bridge.

seems so. Ukraine is said to be very short of troops. if what i read is true,they don't have enough force to concentrate for a counter offensive. if they did,they would have to strip another area which would give the Russ another weak spot to hit. if an offense looks real,it could be let to advance then chopped off at the base for a big loss. like the 3rd battle of Kharkov in 1943?
looks like Ukraine has or is losing the air war. so,can't really hide what it is doing or it's strength at any spot.
looks like they are done for. just putting out a fire with gasoline.
