I love my Savage. I am by no means an expert, but you are right about the amount of fun on ranges out to 200 yards. And when 22 is available, it feels like its almost free!

I have a full size tactical in 45. It's my first centerfire pistol, but not my only one now. I love it. I have a couple thousand rounds through it, mostly lead SWC's that I cast, and it hasn't hiccuped. I'm shooting it in an indoor IDPA league locally, and it doesn't hold me back. Granted...

Nice work. If you are mechanical, and know an A&P to work with/under, there are a lot of ignored airplanes at airports right now. Find the guy who will buy the parts, and you donate labor in exchange for free time. The hobby is WAY cheaper if you only buy fuel. I flew a LOT in a Tri-Pacer...

I bought a RIA tactical in 45 as my first center fire pistol. I'm happy with it. It isn't as nice to look at as others, and it isn't as smooth an action as my friends Colt, but it does what I need it to do. I'm starting IDPA now, and all I've done to it is had the trigger stoned, and put...

I think 22 would be great. You don't have to load it, it's cheap, and plenty for kids to learn to shoot accurately with. Buckmark or Ruger get great reviews, and will last a lifetime. I would want something that I can let them shoot a BUNCH, and that they'll have to teach their kids to...

I love my Savage, but the CZ's are really nicely built. I want my son's first rifle to be a CZ, and I want him to have it forever.

Looks like racing isn't the only place that heart is worth as much as financing...

I really like the idea. Having recently left IL for IN, I don't think I'll be eligible for something like this,,,hopefully. But legislation has long been a threat in IL. Thanks Magpul for standing with normal shooters.

She did fine. I make my living in racing, and haven't been a Danica fan. But, this was a solid performance. She ran up front, kept the car in position, and lost a few spots at the end instead of gaining some. Anyone who hasn't done that before hasn't competed in ANYTHING. Nice job Danica...

I know this is the DIY section, but I installed the Karsten piece, and couldn't be happier. They aren't that expensive either.

You've always treated us well. Thanks. Looking forward to the rest of the training as it comes out.

Re: Brisket Recipe/Process That looks awesome. I'm glad to hear that propane can make a great smoker. It seems much easier than charcoal. Have you had good luck with electric?

Re: Trying to decide on auto 22LR pistol Another 22/45 fan here. It does everything I need it too. New shooters are not intimidated like with a centerfire, older shooters find it accurate and fun. And get the Ultimate Clip Loader... Works for the Buckmark too.

Re: Too freakin old for this shit That is an awesome video. I have a customer that just came from the downhill biking game. Really cool kid, and he catches on fast. Karting is my sport, making my living in it. This is a trailer for 'BecomeOne', a documentary coming out. It's very...
