    Who profited from 9/11?????

    The guy talking, while he makes a lot of sense, sounds like a libertarian, and someone told me that they're all crazy! How could this be? Giuliani should watch this every night and hope that he has learned since then about the danger of the tyranny of popular opinion, to which he clearly...

    Movie Theater On this day in 1984….

    I remember my dad taking me to see it. I must've been nine. Thanks for posting, SirMechanic, it brought back a great memory of a great man!

    Pistol on Kifaru Hunting Pack

    I'm a little shorter and wider than you (but very handsome). I think you're right on track with the Snubby. I use a Snubby with either a Kifaru Woodsman or Molle Express II (showing my age here). It's perfect. The only addition that I recommend is using two Grimlock d-rings with a riser...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Concealed or semi concealed carry options for backpacking

    Absolutely the Hill People Gear. I tried a bunch of different arrangements over the years and settled on the HPG Snubby with a G26 and a lighter (just in case) in it. The G26 sits in a Raven Concealment Vanguard (just covers the trigger) that's tied into the chest rig. It helps distribute the...

    Can you? They seem to be in short supply.

    308 vs. 6.5 Creed in 16 inch lightweight bolt gun for mountain trekking

    That's why it's 20% of your remaining life and not 10% :^) For the velocities part of your question, I do a bunch of searching around to get typical values for muzzle speed. If I can't find them, I add ~25 fps per inch of barrel or subtract the same if I can only find data for a nearby...

    308 vs. 6.5 Creed in 16 inch lightweight bolt gun for mountain trekking

    I get a little north of 2600fps out of a 20" barrel with hi-bc 162 grain bullets in the 7mm08. I used to run hotter, but that's a nice stable load that doesn't beat up brass at all. Those are the old amaxes that I'm quickly running out of, but for hunting there's an eldx bullet at the same...

    308 vs. 6.5 Creed in 16 inch lightweight bolt gun for mountain trekking

    I can't speak to the availability or quality of factory ammo for it, but it sounds to me like a 7mm08 is worth looking into for your needs.

    Gunsmithing Barreled Action Wait Time Concern

    I was in your shoes not too long ago. Except I waited 1.5 years thinking that it was just a hard time to get a barrel. Then I went to Southern Precision Rifles and got a barrel so fast my head spun. It took them maybe about a month, month and a half. I highly recommend giving Greg and Russ a...

    Premium Leather pocket holsters?

    I've used a Mitch Rosen El Raton for years with a Sig238. I really like it, but only after I cut the leather around the mag release. It had released the magazine several times just from normal activity before I fixed it. If you go that route, be sure to test it enough that you have confidence...

    Stock Market

    Thank you. Given your rationale, why not go for something like ARKK? It's down a lot more and is tech-related.

    Stock Market

    You bastard! Let me stock up on beer before you crash my VTI any more than it is! If you don't mind me asking, could I ask why you're making this decision (my beer buying aside)? Thanks in advance.

    Inflation.......... ?

    It'll be interesting to see what happens, if anything, to wildlife populations. We could certainly use less deer around here. They eat my vineyard, I eat them. Backstraps and wine in perfect harmony...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Shotgun Course Setup. 590 Style revisited.

    These Gunner Solutions are what I always used in 3-gun. I prefer them because they hold the ammo solid. None ever bumped out. The other more dedicated 3-gun options seemed less secure to me. The only thing is be sure to use some thread lock once you get them adjusted. I switched out the...

    SOLD Surefire X300U-B

    Raven Concealment is offering them with a Perun holster for $270. It seems to good to be true, but I picked up another one and it showed up as advertised. The holsters aren't great (nothing like their discontinued Raven line), but the deal on the light's good even if the holster weren't...

    Rifle Scopes Budget Game Getter

    Sentimental reasons... Got it! I thought you were trying to scrounge up a good hunting rifle, my mistake. Sentimental reasons are a limiting factor for me, too. I think I've built the perfect hunting rifle for my area, but sometimes the "perfect" rifle is the one that your grandpa left you...

    Rifle Scopes Budget Game Getter

    This doesn't really answer your question, but I want to offer a different perspective... You said you want to upgrade "one of my budget hunting rigs." Rather than making incremental upgrades to each of the budget options, why not just put more eggs in one soulful basket? For the $$$ you're...

    Gun Room/Vault Panels and Organization

    If you have access to a shop check out french cleats. They're like the molle version of storage.
