    Redfield peep sights

    This is a great thread. In the 90's I was in Camp Pendelton for some work by 3rd echelon armorer/maintenance, They had a bin filled with those sights and some boxes too. I was out of the corp for maybe 4 years at the time and asked the young sgt what they were doing with them. All to salvage, he...

    Savage 11 vs 10

    I wanted a wood stock. I would bed it myself. I could also shorten it for the wife. I tried to get the local g/s to swap out and pay a difference, but I guess it is too much of an issue. So I started looking around at what else is out there, light weight is really a plus on this one. 260 is also...

    Savage 11 vs 10

    I am confused and have done search not seeing any direct comparo's. I got a chance on a Savage 11. I can't tell the difference between all the models xp, trophy 10/110 and 11/111. The one I am looking at is an "11" has the accu-trigger, bottom bolt release and a magazine similar to an Axis and a...

    Movie Theater Bradley Cooper's vow to American Sniper

    Cooper believed in this from the beginning and bought the rights first. He has been a driver in this from the get -go. He saw the potential early on and this movie was his project years ago. I wish him well. I will see it.

    AZ LRPRS monthly match

    I was out of town, but if there is a little more notice, I think it would be awesome to drive down. I will keep my eyes open for the next go round. How many rounds needed? What other pieces of gear are required? Bipod, bino's, spotting scope, sling, anything against the rules? Thank you

    Rimfire technologies or EGW scope base

    I am unable to say for certain on your other choice. I did use other rails before going to EGW and stopped there. Many things came to focus and the rifle shoots very well. I think the EGW is very well made and does not "distort" the receiver for my limited vocabulary if you will. Things went...

    Hunting & Fishing Sleeping bag temp rating question

    Whatever you do, be as clean and dry on your person as possible. A beanie and a decent set of long johns like Patagonia middle weight can help. If you wear socks make sure they are clean and dry, do not wear the socks you been in all day. FWIW, I never wear socks at night, I keep a new pair in...

    Be honest who would miss CA

    In the 70's it was paradise, and if you call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye.....(lyrics from the Eagles). There were a bunch of cattle and horses once upon a time. Now horses are a domain of the wealthy. My cousins ranch was buldozed by imminent domain reasons and that was the end of that...

    Chainsaw brand??

    Stihl is the best and considered the best. My buddy and I cut a lot of wood. We use two Stihls and I do own an Echo that is not as heavy but has given me several seasons with no problems and is much lighter to carry around. Especially when you have to get it into close quarters. For occasional...
