If I bring a 30-06 in a sporterized smith-corona can I still play? :ROFLMAO:

And,,, you are occasionally practicing in low light, all kinds of stuff change after sundown.. :D

Your swinging a broad brush with the "no former military" ;) There are ex military more than properly trained and experienced to be a sheriff, State trooper whatever. I did a hitch in the air force in the 80's, and had 2 jobs, IT guy and Security Police, (The security police side was so I...

Unfortunately ,, your a small minority of pit bull owners.. I've had 3 try and bite me.. All owned by generally responsible but mediocre trainers. Like cattle dogs, Belgian Mal's, Dobermans. If your not the Alpha ,, your the bitch. You can't let them get away with ANYTHING ever no exceptions...

I hunt with a early Kimber Montana, in 300WSM,, FWIW, It has no trouble out to about 600, It could likely shoot farther but its sooo light that you have to control it through the recoil. Not easy with 180 Accubonds. its a < 8 lb gun fully fitted. MIne loves 180's 165's shoot OK but not at the...

:) You can get sharpie off with a dry erase whiteboard pen. (Trick I learned from a custodian that works in my building)

That hone looks like a wheel cylinder hone.. Oh wait its even a flex hone brand,,,

I've seen a couple pics,, of the ATF receiving/mail room, Pallets of banker boxes full of forms, they literaally a couple years back were delivering a pallet to each reviewer, 4layers deep... RIght to thier desk with a empty pallet next to it.. God that job must suck your soul away..

FWIW - (lurker here...) I have a sig in 300BLK and one of the benefits I notice at least compared to my Ruger 556 (Got to cheap to ignore... LOL) is cycle time, it just feels quicker, I need to set up my go-pro and see if I can time it... I noticed it when shooting running jack rabbits, It may...

Another tidbit,, as you go up in quality,, many scopes have their erector stage and reticle Epoxied in. There is actually no way to remove the guts once sealed up. You can see the epoxy if you look from the front with a small flashlight..

Air force 1983 to 1987, we had 50's with night sights at that time,, but they were only really for tripod supported weapons. Or the APC's we used to patrol around out alert aircraft and weapons storage area. We had goggles ,, they were kinda bulky but I scored a ride along with our rescue guys...

Have always been a big Sci-fi reader (And westerns,, :) ) Was 16 when the original SW movie hit.. At the time it was epic, Dont really know how many times I saw it, Had a local movie theater then that was like 3.50 to get in to and the movie ran there for a solid month.. The story worked and...

Not favoring any specific rifle,, My preference is a bolt safety to one that disables the trigger, Just feels more mechanically sound of a design. I especially prefer the 3 position safeties that allow opening the bolt without releasing the safety.. Just me. Everybody has a preference..

I pre-arranged with Santa for Lasik,, Most awesome thing I ever did.. Got it on my Birthday a couple weeks before Christmas. I can now get out of bed and got to work without glasses,, even better? I can shoot open sites again.. Can't wait till next Elk season.. :D PS got a Keltec PMR-30 in my...

Make sure you've done all the pre-contracting before you go.. Use a big name climbing booking service there can be surprises (I used REI to figure out the preliminary cost...).. I was invited to base camp 10 years ago, my out of pocket was going to be north of 10 grand + A 1 million dollar...
