    Boots, cowboy ones to be more specific.

    I am stunned to see how many cowboy boots wear a "Made in China" stamp. If you are looking at custom boots or even the semi custom where you have to order them not a big deal, because they will be built here or Mexico. There are two versions of Justin, USA ones and Chinese and the price...

    Hunting & Fishing Clear answer in regards to pelts

    The fur buyers don't usually buy until Feb-March. Fur market is weird, sometimes I drop off certain animals at a guys house who then cleans the pelt and gets sales. Do not think that just because you heard red fox is bringing $XX or $$$ a pelt makes it reliable. It is what the foreign markket...

    Mild Rem 700 build

    Bed your stock action, while you are doing that, put a new sling swivel on it. For scopes on a hunter, I would rather have my money in glass than a chassis system. Look at a 2 x 10 for a 500 yard complimentary glass. The 30-06 is perfect for what your doing with it.

    Why are tube guns/chassis not more popular?

    I think information about them is difficult to find. I don't rule them out, but bedding a wood or glass stock isn't that hard for me. They seem a little confusing as do chasis stock to me. Even going to a big show there is too much misinformation about them. So, for me, I need to see something I...

    Rant about Remington Recall and HELP needed.

    Remove trigger, throw in parts drawer (who knows why, save for something) Buy a Timney. Never look back, not sending my rifle anywhere.

    Rifle Scopes Scopes - Where to buy them?

    I have bought Vortex from Cameraland, they are site sponsors, but I bought from them years ago, way before I joined here. I bought binoculars as gifts a couple Vortex scopes and I highly recommend them. There is also a few others, look at the site sponsors here and get what you want. I got...

    F T/R Competition F Class perfect score ?

    There are many rifles and people, who under good conditions who can deliver a 3 shot 1/4 inch group at 100 yards, wind is rarely a factor. This takes some skill and is a great test for a rifle too. Many rifles can do this with a decent amount of handload work up. A five shot group is harder. A...

    What would you vintage folks do to this vintage caliber 1984 R700?

    Yup! 1984 isn't vintage. I have a pair of boots older than that, a very nice pair of Heyer Mahans if you are interested. I can't believe you would shoot it. Polish it and put it in the safe. In 75 years maybe.....on the other hand, replace the scope and rings and go shoot it.

    Dpms is scaring me a little.

    That is the way we could tell if a young trooper chambered a live round.....happens in Colt A/R's as well. It is why some folks do not use certain primers when reloading, if the primer is known as a sensitive primer. I do congratulate you on your observation skills if you weren't taught to look...

    Struck GOLD!!!

    I keep hearing how expensive it is at the average of $34 a pound, but there is powder out there at that price. I was a Brunos in Phoenix and found match .22 rimfire, it was $69.50 for a brick, but guess what? He had it and I bought some, you could by 5K of it if you had the $$$. The new pricing...

    Advanced Marksmanship it all matters

    True. But there are times, even when hunting I have to tell myself to breath. It isn't a big deal as I am not passsing out, but if I am not breathing the scope will start to bounce a wee bit. There more oxygen we can put in our system, the better we respond in many ways, to many situation, from...

    Advanced Marksmanship it all matters

    There I am, laying there in the dirt and since I forgot my mat, I had a new burlap sack for coyote season that I hadn't used yet, so the sack was my make shift mat. I am laying on the desert floor, it has to be approaching 100 degrees f (for our European bros - thats farenheit!) and I remember...

I was out and had mounted a new scope on this Remy, this is my yote gun, originally Walmart special no bottom metal - budget slow build. I got a take off...

    6.5-06 twist rate?

    I have a 26.5 inch Shilen 1 x 8.5 twist it likes the Sierra 142's a lot. I am playing with some Berger 130 hunter vld's in hope of deer season. I am at 5000 ft. Today it was 100 degrees f out. H4350 no problems.

    Replies to "Thank you for your service."

    I don't really think about it, and don't really advertise, cause I don't really care all that much. I joined for me. However, as a I read one of the last Code Talkers passed away and I am near the Reservation, there are still a few fine Navajo Warriors around. I will ocasionally meet one, very...

    When will Remington 700s be back in stock?

    Just for grins took a look at the local W/W and the shelves are empty of any R 700's. Mostly Savages and the Ruger American things.
