    My, How Tacticool Is That? (Poor Wittle Patrol Rifle)

    I'm more concerned he didn't clear the weapon; but, hopefully he just pops a tiny sun roof in his car, and not in some schoolgirl with a backpack on.

    Maggie’s Opinions on a G-1 (USMC/USN Leather Flight Jacket)

    Hey guys. Years ago I had a (LL Bean made) A-1 that was really great. I even machine washed it a couple times. Then, when I was riding, I had Schott make me a beautiful jacket in horse hide, as it is the traditional hide for the originals. I still wear it often, and afer ten plus years of...

    Rifle Scopes No love for IOR Valdada?

    Don't I know it! Even the Nikon sport optics are not great (good however) and the Canon glass is far superior to the Nikon ED glass (I don't know if Nikon uses their ED glass in sport optics). I WISH Canon would get into sport optics, even if just binoculars. Edge to edge clarity, detail...

    Waterproof warm jacket/pant

    Here's some Canada Goose links. Note the Snow Mantra is sold out at the moment, but some retailers may have one (if it's not too warm for you).

    Rifle Scopes No love for IOR Valdada?

    Once upon a time they were great. Made in Romania. I hope the above rumor regarding Japan is true. And, by the way, as a former photographer, I've compared Canon Florite glass to the coveted German makers lenses... Sorry Germany. But I've read the many mechanical failure reports on the...

    Which primer in lieu of Federal Match?

    I've had good luck with these as well. They fire Varget as well as the Federals in my (last) gun.

    Secret Society

    I think "loosing" them is just as bad as a domestic conspiracy charge... Out of the frying pan, into the fire- but either way, someone needs to burn.
