    Electric smokers?

    Re: Electric smokers? Outside. The smoke has to go some place. You might as well get a regular smoker. It does not have to be huge. And the neighors will probably be coming over for dinnner

    Varget & Reloader 15 with heavier bullets for AR

    Re: Varget & Reloader 15 with heavier bullets for AR If you have a choice, I'd go Varget. You can't go wrong. If you're going long distance (500-600 yds) and you don't need to feed through a magazine, I'd go with 80 SMKs. If you need to have rounds feed through a magazine, go 77s. 24 with...

    Hi-lift jack users, check this out!

    Re: Hardcore fourwheelers gotta check this out! Looks like a good idea. I too rarely used my highlift on my jeep. The last time I used it, I rigged it up to pull some post anchors out of the ground, and even then, it was dangerous when it really got under a load!

    Grills I need a new one

    Re: Grills I need a new one Hmmm... Grills like shooting platforms, you get what you pay for. Different flavors of quality, but in the end, its all about the delivery (with a level of skill mixed in).
