    Stainless steel, Im sold

    One thing that pushed me over the SS edge was a youtube video I saw that brought up lead dust. All the dry methods generate alot of lead dust, and I have young children in the house. Maybe I am being a little too nervous but I like the idea of all the lead being contained and washed down the...

    Maggie’s Diesel Pickup Truck Options

    That's alot of work, and comes with alot of problems. I have a preference for the duramax/allison combo. Smoothest running package of the 3. Cummins can be tuned for the most power, but that is the loudest rattling can of a motor on the street. If you buy a duramax, get 2008 or earlier...

    Rifle Scopes The truth about Leupold thread

    Some things loopy could do to improve: Reticles. And I don't mean some $400 upgrade to horus. Some real choices-for MOA shooters as well. Zero stop. Did I mention the reticle choices suck? I like mil/mil. But I don't understand how an MOA shooter could even consider a loopy-if they have other...

    Bushnell Elite 1600 vs Leica 1600

    I was hoping someone could chime in with experience with both these units, I need a LRF for use mostly under 800yds, and I like the price point of the Bushy at $300 less than the Leica. Anyone have some good insight? I am aware the Leica is a great little unit and up until recently would not be...

    LMT MWS LM8 20" Stainless: first range trip "RANGE REPORT"

    I agree with you 100%, that's why I replied to say I had no such "break-in" experience with mine. It was a shooter from the start. Please take my advice and contact Gene and see what he says about it. They have been a great company to deal with and will most likely solve your problem.

    LMT MWS LM8 20" Stainless: first range trip "RANGE REPORT"

    I am dragging the chrono down to the range this week, but I doubt I could beat yours! BTW I want to see pics of the 260 with the FH installed... I just shot a brand new 16" and after 3 zero/fouling shots (the 16 was about .3mils off my 20) and a little dry firing she proceeded to print 3-3...

    LMT MWS LM8 20" Stainless: first range trip "RANGE REPORT"

    I would suggest you call Gene at LMT, let him know what is going on and see if he would like to have a look at the bbl or gun. You should be getting better performance out of that bbl, although the 16s usually group better than the 20s @100yds. Gene has solved more than one problem for me-I have...

    All around hunting/shooting range finder.

    I was curious how it would compare to the leica, not a vectronix. 90% of the time my needs are well under 1k, stretching out that far would be more of an event than a regular occurrence :) The bushy is selling for $300 less

    All around hunting/shooting range finder.

    Is anybody using the Bushnell Elite 1600? Bushnell Elite 1600 ARC 7x26 Black Laser Rangefinder FREE S&H 205110. Bushnell Range Finders. I am curious if it is a decent product, I have searched here and around the web a few times and info is scarce. I have been pleasantly surprised by their new...

    Baby names... need some help

    You should use names that kick ass, like Walker and Texas Ranger. If you want wussies name 'em Dr Quinn and Medicine Woman.

    Fathers- what's a good tactical diaper bag? haha

    We have the eddie b bag, but I am embarrassed to admit the best one we have used is a backpack made by fisher price. Fisher Price Backpack Diaper Bag - Grey - Fisher-Price - Babies "R" Us for $35 it has features that make functioning easier. Insulated bottle pouch keeps bottles pretty warm...

    Are You Using The Same Hearing Protection For Both Handgun And Rifle Shooting?

    Just an FYI. I noticed a few options tossed around here that are a bit pricey, so this may help someone. If you see an ENT doctor you can have him write you a prescription for the electronic plugs. Insurance may cover a bit of it, mine does not, but either way you can write off your cost under...

    Hunting/Tactical Pack

    Yes, centered up is the way to go, I also like the fact I can set the pack down on the ground with a rifle in it upright.

    Hunting/Tactical Pack

    I own a MR, and have used a borrowed eberlestock. I was afraid to reply as I ruffled quite a few feathers in another pack thread when I said the nice frame was far and above the eberlestock setup, but thats just my opinion. The cost difference is considerable, as the MR packs for the most part...

    Decent Safe for under $1000

    I have no problem with the cheaper Liberty, as I have close retired neighbors so power tools would be pretty easily heard by them. The metal cabinets can be opened with a butter knife (literally), so not quite on the same plane. With proper installation you can make prying extremely difficult...

    Decent Safe for under $1000

    The Cannons are very much in line with the liberty as far as strength of construction is concerned. Either would be a similar product.

    Rifle Scopes is there any reason to go mil anymore?

    It doesn't look like MOA needs any assistance around here. When I look at scopes locally, I'll use NF as an example, they have 20 MOA models for every mil model on the shelf, and they claim that's about how they sell percentage-wise. So mil is the minority around me, which is why I give them...
