    Rifle Scopes Assuming they are the same price, which scope?

    If it's so great, why is there only a two-year warranty? 1911fan

    Rifle Scopes Assuming they are the same price, which scope?

    I took a Nightforce 5.5-22 off to put a Razor on. Any company that makes high-end optics is going to produce defective items. How they handle them is what makes the difference in your purchasing decision. IF you get a bad S&B or NF, you won't be happy. I've read of delays in folks getting...

    Dodge Truck Canopy and 20" tires, Wenatchee area Sold our 2012 Dodge 1500, kept the canopy and tires. Truck was a four-door, see pic below. Canopy is about 18 months old, made by Leer, and sells for about $1800. It's in great shape, no scratches, still has window screens, etc. Front...

    Hello from the dry side of Washington

    Was through Mesa last week on my way to Oregon, if I'd known there was a Hider there I might have stopped to trade lies. Check out the SHWW thread for local shoots. 1911fan

    Learned something about Levi jeans today

    Oh yeah, old news. They bought up all their own stock a few years ago so the Board can do whatever it wants. They supported the Million Mom march, an anti-gun event, heavily. I quit buying their stuff a long time ago, like my Carhartts better for fit and longevity. 1911fan

    US POW released after 5yrs

    Interesting link. Also found this: <tbody> Khaatamul Anbiya bin Daleel ul Khyayraat aka "Donkey Master" </tbody> and had to laugh..... Though his page does not exist. So, five years as a hostage to a people not known to keep hostages very long? This guy will bear very close...

    School me on folding stocks.

    Went to the pack because carrying a pack and a slung rifle was annoying. Looking for a way to streamline things a bit. 1911fan

    School me on folding stocks.

    Rifle is going to be rebarrelled to a shorter .260 and will still be my FTR/Tac Match rifle. Figuring .22-24" barrel, and shorter/lighter can. I'm enjoying a little sticker shock right now also, that's a lot of money for a stock. Then again, little about competitive shooting rewards...

    School me on folding stocks.

    I'm running a 700 in .308 with a 26" barrel and a YHM 7.62 can on it. Makes for a long weapon. I carry it in an Eberlestock X3 Lo Drag, and the muzzle is and easy foot or more over my head. At muzzle-down ranges the stock sticks up as well. I'm looking to shorten it for easier packing...

    Barrel or Stock??

    Hmmm..... the Hogue is not a good stock for what you are trying to do; the barrel's not a good choice either. I'd start with the stock, at least to see what the factory barrel is capable of. Best thing to do would be spin the barrel off and send the action to a good smith for a new barrel, and...

    The annual Camp Patriot Steel Challenge was a blast. I don't have any pics from Saturday, but I will tell you this: It rained. A lot. I made some good shots, missed some I should have made. Here's a pic from Sunday, when the weather was much better. I had a blast, even getting soaked...

    Remington 700 .308

    Although I'm a strong Remington fan, have shot 'em for years for hunting and matches, I'm going to muddy the waters here a bit and suggest you also look at Savage rifles. You might want to get to your fiancee sooner than October, so he'll have time to get used to it before opening day. And...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    A fun plate rack drill is to have five plates and two shooters. Each shooter starts from the outside, and the idea is to knock over both of yours and then the center one before the other guy does, then start on his plates. Here's the catch: Each shooter starts with the pistol holstered, and...

    Anybody going to Kettle Falls have some Varget they want to sell, or their local store has some? Prefer jugs but might settle for one-pounders. PM me. 1911fan

    Maggie’s Any KLR650 Guru's?

    I owned and rode one for a few years, like it. As some of the above posters have, I switched to a KTM 990 Adventure. Highly NOT recommended as a 'chill the fuck out' beast, it'll have you pinning the throttle on dirt roads. I eventually sold it and am now riding a BMW 650 Dakar, which I like...
