I went to a nice pawn shop/gun store the other day on my lunch break with a friend who was purchasing a pistol (new). I ran into a practically new left hand CDL 30-06 on their shelf. Story is the guy bought it brand new, used it one hunting season and decided hunting was not for him. Keep in...

Re: Turning a AR-15 into Bolt Action Only I see alot of money being wasted, but if thats what you want, go for it. People have done things much more retarded (not saying you are retarded). I personally feel if you already have bolt guns, why not keep the semi a semi? Unless you have too...

Re: Awesome Firework Fail Video I live out in the country, so I'm happy every 4th of july. Who needs the tubes to shoot them out of? Cheap, colorful grenades.

Re: Considering a diesel truck...advice requested I worked on Ford Powerstrokes for years. I know them in and out, I'm Ford certified on pretty much any gas, diesel, hybrid Ford vehicle out there. My specialty was diesel however. 6.0 was a decent truck, they just required more maint than...

Re: gun store workers/owners I guess I am lucky being in the area I am in. Maybe it is a Texas thing. Usually EVERY person in any gun store/shop around here is very helpful. Yes you have the few guys that work at Academy/Gnd Mtn. that don't know a 1911 from a 380 auto, but those stores I...

Re: Stock, barreled action in a Hi Perf Stock? If you are running low 10s on a drag bike you need more practice. That goes hand in hand with needing more trigger time, not trying to be a smart a$$. I would use your money elsewhere before jumping into something like an AICS for a factory...

Re: ATVs/Quads I've owned just about all of the things. Best and most reliable bike was my 2006 Honda Foreman 4x4. Did alot of work to it, custom lift, 29.5 outlaws, tons and tons of money. Got rid of it and bought a Kawasaki KFX700 that is fun as hell, but not 4x4. The auto trans are...

Re: Rebate on 700 SPS Varmint - first gun... Don't get me started on what it is, I don't know. That isn't my specialty. I live in Texas. It is very, (VERY!!) humid where I am from. I cleaned my rifle up, took it to the range and within a day or two of that I pulled it out to clean it, and...

Re: Rebate on 700 SPS Varmint - first gun... I've got one of them, the finish isn't very bad as far as looks but I am not a big fan of its durability (rust prevention, etc).

Re: Bell and Carlson M40 stocks? I'm guessing these are only out for RH shooters as of now? I looked on Stocky's and couldn't find anything for a lefty.

Re: New 700 feeding issues I've got a brand new 700 Varmint and it does the exact same thing with Remington factory ammo. I've used a few other brands of hunting ammo such as winchester and federal, and I do not recall either of them doing this. This is the first time I have had an issue...

Re: BARSKA SWAT Hold out until you can afford a decent piece of glass. Went the cheap route with a BSA one time. Worked great on my hunting rifle (don't shoot it too much). Put it on another gun and it didn't last 50 rounds. Get you about $500 or so together, and check out the stuff for...

Re: Scope for a stainless 30-30 Ok so no see through rings. I did look at the Sightron scopes, they have a silver SI for 129.99. I know alot of people like their higher end scopes, but how is Sightrons reputation when it comes to the "lower end" things? What height are you guys running on...

I bought a new Marlin 30-30 for a brush gun, and had to have the shiny one haha. My girl is also going to be shooting it somewhat during hunting season, so I want to scope it for her. I'm leaning towards a 3-9, possibly a silver Zeiss Conquest. Any other scope recommendations? I'm not...
