Re: A few blonde jokes A blonde walks into the hair dressers and wants a new style. The hairdresser shows her the different types, and she chooses one, so he says "take out your ear buds so we can get started." The blonde gets very scared and says "I can't take them off, I'll die!" He...

Re: Which high end factory rifle? While I have no experience with the SAKO TRG 22, I do have some time with her big sister, the TRG 42 in 338 LM. Bolt is the smoothest I've ever encountered, including customs from various local 'smiths. They cost a lot, but I finally found that I'm...

Re: 1st Polymer pistol Take a look into just what the slide is sliding on. I looked at the Springfield XD's, but the rear slide surfaces are cut into polymer. The Glocks I've seen, as well as the H&K USP, feature metal to metal interface in this high stress area. Does it matter? It did...

Re: 3338 lapua +100 on the SAKO TRG 42. Recoil on mine, IMHO, is easier than my Remington 700 in 300 Win Mag. It's more of a push than a punch. However, the muzzle brake and bipod are not included, and SAKO is very proud of them. Best bipod design I've ever seen. I got to touch a...

Re: Glock Trigger Connector? I use a Lone Wolf connector spring in 3.5 # and it really improves the trigger action. I still feel totally safe with it as a carry gun. One other mod you may want to make is a metal guide rod. I just trust the steel rod assembly more than the plastic one...

Re: Not your usual "which 9mm do i buy". I own both a Beretta 92fs and a Glock 17. Within the limits and desired features listed, the Glock would be my first choice. Rail? Check. Night sights? Check, and if it doesn't have them, Glock nights sights are easy to install. Good recoil...

Re: flip up iron sight recommendations I've used the Matech (found on ebay for under $70) and was happy with it. IMHO, if I'm using a scope as my primary sighting system, BUIS's are just that: the court of last resort. Besides, my eyes aren't that great any more, so it's either glass or...

Re: Trg42 questions I have the "cheap" model with the blued barrel and black stock. I can paint the barrel to dull it out, as well as the stock to green if I feel the need. Badger Ordinance 20 MOA base, Leopold rings (medium) with a Bushnell Elite 4.5-30 x 50 scope. Make sure to lock-tite...

Re: Wind Farm where I work in Iowa I love to visit the local (100+ miles away) wind farms here in Oregon. I find the whole idea both exciting and practical. However, we do have some land owners that are upset because they ruin their view and claim they cause everything from headaches to...

Re: which muzzle brake I've used Holland's muzzle brakes with good results. Helped tame a 300 Win Mag down to below a 308's recoil (perceived), so I had one installed on my 308, but haven't got to try it out yet. Nice thing is they're small in size but on the 300 Win Mag it works big time.

Re: . Talk about a cold bore shot!

Re: Question on ATN ATN quality is rated somewhere between low and really, really low, IMHO. I've never read a good thing about them, and the few that I've laid my hands on were sub-par. Save your money on these babies and get something more durable and with much better glass. If you're...

Re: Where to buy Nightforce Alex (www.eurooptic.com) is very, very good at customer service. I ordered a scope rail nobody else seemed to have, got it three days later. I even sent him a thank you note because his seemed like stellar service. And his price was better than others I'd...

Re: Fixed power scopes Simplicity, which leads to more time shooting and less playing with the zoom feature. This also leads to durability, as there are less things to go wrong. IMHO, the light gathering is also better, but that's my opinion that I can't back up with figures and graphs.

Re: Winter Team Early Suppressor Rolling Thunder 51, I commend your selection of quality photographs.
