    Stag Pursuit-named appropriately

    Ran across the rifle online yesterday. Looks to be a great factory option for a hunting rifle. Anyone put hands on one yet?

    So my daughter is heading off to college...

    I appreciate all the input in true Sniper's Hide fashion how this thread zigged and zagged along the way. Thank you for your input: some of it was helpful, some of it was funny, and some of it gave me worry in form of wtf. (the next person that mentions condoms or pills gets punched in the...

    So my daughter is heading off to college...

    Fair enough - jumper cables yes, change a flat tire yes. I will review all things with her before she leaves in August.

    So my daughter is heading off to college...

    @hlee and @748rpilot - jumper cables have been in the car since she started driving. That was just a "given" to me thinking that each vehicle should have cables. Like any car things can break, but it's a Honda Accord. I don't expect things to go sideways for her, but if anything ever does I...

    So my daughter is heading off to college...

    Looking for thoughts/opinions/experiences on what I need to compile for her in an emergency kit to keep in her car. The drive will be 2 hours, and a great deal of it will be through the countryside. Cell service is good the entire way. She will never be too far away for me to drop what I'm...

    What's in your EDC Kit?

    Do you have an EDC kit? Something portable - maybe a tool burrito, or an admin/tool pouch that you keep on you, or in a pack, vehicle, office, worksite, etc. If so, what do you have? What items are always in the kit? Thanks for playing.

    Gunsmithing Anyone familiar with Ruger m77 1980’s era need some help

    Gunsmithing Anyone familiar with Ruger m77 1980’s era need some help

    Tang safety Ruger’s did not come with manual ejectors; as stated above it should have a plunger ejector. They changed over to plunger ejector with the MK II. I have had a few of each, and still have a tang safety m77 in 270. Maybe a smith tried to convert it? Post a pic of the bolt face...

    Gutter installation DIY?

    To your point - if you have to preface your statement with "not trying to be an ass" then you probably are - which you are in that statement. However, I never asked the question "can I". I already knew that answer before posting. I just wanted input from members who have done it themselves to...

    Gutter installation DIY?

    Any members ever install gutters on your home? Tossing up the idea of doing it myself vs having a company install. I've watched a few videos online, and installation doesn't seem complex. I have all necessary tools except I am considering buying a rivet gun instead of using screws. thanks...
