    The Municipal Debt Bomb is Ticking: When Will It E

    Re: The Municipal Debt Bomb is Ticking: When Will It E While municipal debt default is a huge issue, Event Horizon hit the nail on the head with his commentary about unfunded pension liabilities. This will be as big, or a bigger issue than the municipal debt. In decades of being held...

    Rifle Scopes *NEW* The Premier Heritage 3-15x50 Hunter

    Re: *NEW* The Premier Heritage 3-15x50 Hunter I was thinking about switching one or two of my hunting scopes from Leupold to Zeiss or Swarovski. This looks like it might be an even better option.

    Lets here some opinions on the HS Precision.338 LM

    Re: Lets here some opinions on the HS Precision.338 LM I cannot comment on the 338 version of the HS Precision but I can say that owning two of their guns, they leave little to be desired. Mine are both very well put together and extremely accurate.I would think that you would be looking at...

    204 load data?

    Re: 204 load data? Just use 32 gr data and step down the starting loads a bit. If you split the difference between 32 and 39 gr starting loads, you ought to be safely conservative.

    Chronograph recommendations?

    Re: Chronograph recommendations? I have a cheap shooting chrony. I am not sure which model but it is consistently wrong (high). I ordered and just received an Oehler 35P. I couldn't pass it up since they are making them again for a limited time. I have not used it yet but they are...

    Hunting & Fishing Smartwools long underwear

    Re: Smartwools long underwear I have been wearing only Smartwool socks for quite a few years now and I know those are MUCH more comfortable than anything else I have found. My feet sweat less, stink less and feel better all day with a lot of time on my feet. I recently started using their...

    Re: Cross Breed Holster Reviews? I have been using a Super Tuck for a Sig P239 for a while now and it is perfect. I have not used a ton of other holsters but this one is top notch.

    Hunting & Fishing Good rifled slug gun recommendation?

    Re: Good rifled slug gun recommendation? The Savage would be my hands down choice. I have shot an older 210 that is extremely accurate. I would however, go with either the 220 or wait until the new 212 comes out if you prefer 12 gauge. The Accutrigger and the detachable mag are both...

    Gunsmithing Carolina Precision fo Ruger #1?

    Re: Carolina Precision fo Ruger #1? Ok, let me revamp my goals slightly and look to shoot out to 300-400 yards. This should certainly be doable with a worked over gun. In any case, I have other rifles to reach out farther but the original question still stands - references for the work of...

    Gunsmithing Carolina Precision fo Ruger #1?

    I know this is not exactly a typical setup for the hide but I am looking to have a little custom work done on a Ruger #1. Specifically, I would like trigger work, accurizing, rechambering and a new barrel. This will be a dedicated deer rifle for short to medium (out to 400ish yards) shooting...

    Rifle Scopes 20th Anniversary U.S. Optics Scopes

    Re: 20th Anniversary U.S. Optics Scopes I just received my scope last night - it is my first USO scope and I am extremely impressed. I have not spent a huge amount of time with it yet but it seems damn near perfect. Now I just have the wait for the rifle it goes on to be finished. Thanks...

    Running and Knees

    Re: Running and Knees The effects of running on knee joints is a source of widely varied opinions in the athletic and orthopedic arenas. I believe, based on experience and discussions with numerous orthopedic surgeons, that running in and of itself is not unhealthy for knees. The problem is...

    Hornady 105 Amax

    Has anyone run across a place that has these in stock? All of my usual reloading haunts are out. Also, if anyone looking at this has any load suggestions for these in a 243AI, a starting point on an accurate and fast load would be appreciated.

    Hunting & Fishing How is the Rage doing for you?

    Re: How is the Rage doing for you? I have been extremely impressed with the performance of the Rage broadheads. They really open things up and produce huge wound channels for easy tracking. They work great on turkeys too. I hope to see their results again here in two weeks when our season...

    With Corrective lenses or not?

    Re: With Corrective lenses or not? I am lucky enough to be a very comfortable contact lens wearer. I wear them 100% of the time for shooting and hunting. My eyes are bad enough that I need correction to do most anything. With work I am inside to outside many times a day and the contacts...

    284 winchester and Vihtavuori

    Re: 284 winchester and Vihtavuori I run VV N560 out of my 7mm-300WSM with the 180 Bergers getting good velocity and accuracy. I am using the Federal 215s - wondering if I might see any improvement with the 210s.

    Powder brands?

    Re: Powder brands? Depending on the cartridge and the data available, I start with either VV or Hodgdon. The Hodgdon powders are consistent in terms of temp sensitivity but can be a mixed bag in terms of clean burning and optimum velocity while maintaining accuracy. I have had very good...

    Tools for neck turning

    I am turning quite a few necks prepping brass for my 7mm-300WSM. I have a decent Sinclair neck turning tool that I am using by hand. It works fine but I would like to cut down on the time it takes if I can. I remember reading a while back about some accessories that were being used to neck...

    Hunting & Fishing Trail Camera's who's good?

    Re: Trail Camera's who's good? I have a couple of cheapo Stealth Cams and a top of the line Moultrie. The Stealths are ok. They take very good quality pictures but the response times sometimes seem a little slow. They also do not have great battery life. The Moultrie is the one that...
