    Rifle Scopes Should We, Review Criteria

    I might add weight and length to your list. I'm not sure how I'd categorize it but "custom options" (ie colors, articles, ect) just trying think of things you haven't mentioned yet.

    The job opening does exist.

    I’m not sure what the implications of this are. Perhaps just a job title that sounds far more sinister than it actually is. Saw the post on the Motivational Pic thread and figured I’d take a look. [URL...

    My buddy looking stressed. He was a rescue as well. We’ve had him a couple years now.

    I guess we’ll start to see what’s really in the works as 2020 unfolds.

    Not as cold as it was here the other day.

    geez! That sounds nice! We had clouds roll in, a nice 5-10mph breeze kick up, and the temps have jumped to about -31f. I thought that was feeling nice and warm, but I sort of like yours better right now.

    the lodge itself is 4,300 sqft. I heat the entire place with two stoves. The main stove in the basement is a ”King” model Blaze King and the supplemental stove in the great room is a Hearthstone “Phoenix”. The Blaze King isn’t beautiful like the Hearthstone, but it’s a real performer and takes...

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    I have ways of getting it running if I need to. Insulated box with a 100w light bulb in it works well, but I generally don’t keep a generator running 24/7 unless I need to, which would be required to run the bulb. Incandescent light bulbs and battery banks don’t play well together.. the propane...

    Yeah, that door gets used pretty hard being the main man door in the shop. The glass is double pane, but the weather stripping is getting a little “used”. at these temps frost always builds on anything that conducts cold well through the walls. Door hinges, door knobs, window hardware, any sort...

    true story.? babysitting wood stoves and generators today. Looks like more office work for me. There isn’t much point in trying to do much when it’s like this. The propane quit flowing last night. We’ve certainly had plenty of colder weather in the past but haven’t seen this since last winter...

    Cold one out there today. -43f up above the river at the lodge, got to be -50 or more down on the river. It’s awfully pretty though. My helper decided it was too cold to be out any longer and headed for the barn without me.

    Yes, our internet Is through Satelitte. I’m honestly not sure of what our speed is. Of course advertised and actual I’m sure are quite different. I’m sure there is some way for me actually gauge or see what the speeds are, but I haven’t researched it. We have very limited options and our current...

    I‘m very fortunate in that my nearest neighbors are 15 miles to the west and the next closest year round people are 103 miles east. Both are reached by river since there’s no roads in the region. I can’t imagine going back to dealing with the idiot busy bodies many here have to deal with on a...

    F'in Christmas!

    This year marks 20 years since having a Thanksgiving or Christmas with family. I've never found that blood proves any kind of loyalty and much prefer the company of friends for such occasions when possible. As several here have stated, some of my family members are fine one on one, but when...

    Rifle Scopes Alternative to Nightforce NXS??

    On the 2.5-10x42 the ocular does not rotate as part of the zoom feature. It has a standard zoom ring with a PTL stud.
