    Stock Market

    Most of those Crypto's I bought at the recent crash went up, but faltered, and I sold them at a decent enough profit. I made around 20% off a relatively small investment of $8000. Then took all those funds and layered into XRP when it was lower at times so I have quite a bit now, as well as a...

    Finding a wife

    Freedom is nice! I was single for almost 4 years after the divorce and even though I was lonely I learned a lot about myself and went on adventures I wouldn't have done otherwise. Problem was back then I didn't have much money or I would have lived it up more. Hadn't met that friend I...

    Anschutz 1727 magazine basepads

    I could be wrong but I think the chambers in the Fortners were optimized for PB?? The tech at the Lapua facility tried 3-4 lot #'s of PB but only the one I bought was exceptional, however equal to the best Midas+, and I didn't want to spend X-act money which was the most precise at 100M by a...

    Finding a wife

    I have a died in the wool single friend who has a funny personality. He's mid 70's and has had one serious relationship his whole life but he never married her. She did him wrong........ I get a kick being at his place because his whole everything is manland! Who else has expensive vintage...

    Anschutz 1727 magazine basepads

    I've been using Wolf MT and it feeds okay just not as smooth as the PB does. It must have to do with the bullet shape and which I assume is the reason the BC is higher in the PB. Also the PB was going 1107 fps/summer in my gun.

    Anschutz 1727 magazine basepads

    Kind of an aside, as well as expensive, but I found that Lapua Polar Biathlon fed way better than anything else I've tried in my Fortner. If my XRP crypto takes off like I hope it does I'm going to get me a couple cases of it. The case I had before was awesome stuff, was tested in my gun at...

    Finding a wife

    What a complicated subject! Unfortunately many families are damaged from sin so bad, maybe even generationally cursed, that if we/I were married into that family, or in the men's case/our case, that there is little hope of having a successful marriage. I was that guy. I met my first wife in...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Has the Bloom Come Off Early Pythons

    The geezers, ha I'm one, are dying off, and the youngers don't see the appeal when there are so many other modern cool guns out there nowadays. I always liked S&W's more as far as action cycle feel but I was never all that much into revolvers anyway.

    The Gay Tiger is tempting me from shooting straight with 6BR.

    Fun times back then! In my mid 60's now I look back at all the different types of rifle and pistol matches I've tried with a great big smile! It's weird how fun shooting steel is, especially knocking them off a stand, or getting that falling back flat reaction, like in Field Target airgun...

    Rocks

    I tried my metal cutting chop saw using a diamond masonry blade and it doesn't work well for harder rock, like that malapai for example (landscaping project), and cutting dry/no water it produces enough heat to turn the cutting area into molten lava so it takes too long. I scrapped that project...

    Rocks

    I don't want to throw the $$$$ at the rocks I'd like to get but have acquired a few for the rock garden. This rock garden was already there when we bought the place 15 years ago and was ugly as can be because of the hideous local Malapai rocks stacked up to make a fountain previously so we...

    Air Gun Picture Thread

    I posted pics in other threads but neglected this one. My new-ish Skout EVO in 22 cal having the 15.75 twist LW barrel and using Altaros 32.2gr slugs. I have tuned down to 49 fpe/828 fps for a Ultimate Field Target match and in a division called the FullMonty which requires sub 50 fpe. It...

    The Gay Tiger is tempting me from shooting straight with 6BR.

    How'd you hurt your elbow? I used to use Contenders in 7TCU for Silhouette but if I had to do it over again I'd go for 6mmBR with a 7.5 twist/115's and a bolt pistol, or heck a easy neck up to 25/6mmBR. Fortunately had no wrist or elbow problems.
