    PVA Solus .223 Wylde Barreled Action (Barrel question)

    What a bummer. I had wanted to pick up the PVA parts based on member testimony and coupled with the fact they have a member here who is always ready to chime in when asked. I reckon those prices and quality would be hard to beat. Any suggestions where I may find something comparable?

    PVA Solus .223 Wylde Barreled Action (Barrel question)

    Well nuts! I went to scoop up a .223 Wylde B/A last night, finally got my financial folder in order...and they are sold out! May just go back to the Tikka varmint, but really wanted to slowly build this myself and maybe learn something along the way. Deep thoughts from my shallow service rifle...

    Coach Gun Advice (12 Gauge)

    Holy guacamole! I forgot all about this thread but I did scoop up a CZ. Came in a fancy case with fancy velvet bags.....I really like the stock and the case hardening style. Adds some character. Shoots really well and I have bought gobs of 12 GA. ammo since. A slight right hand cast to the...

    PVA Solus .223 Wylde Barreled Action (Barrel question)

    So while I originally was ready to move with a Tikka, (thanks again to all who offered advice) I stumbled across this deal yesterday. I planned on dropping it into a KRG and finding a good scope. It's going to be a little over my budget but it will slowly come together. I read about the...

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    A few bottles I have worked on in the past few weeks. Been out in the Cleveland area training for a new position/department for a bit and stumbled across the Heaven Hill (new to me) along with the small bottles which will be great gifts for some friends. I spotted a bottle of Angel's Envy...

    Advice on .223 Tikka T3X and a KRG Bravo

    Looks like T3X Lite is the rifle and the Bravo will be the formula. I just don't see many other Tikka .223's out there, save the super Varmint. The Hide has spoken...... Reached out to Area 419 (he's about 15 min from me) and they no longer thread barrels! :mad:

    Advice on .223 Tikka T3X and a KRG Bravo

    Wow! Great looking rifles! Seems the only varmint barrel style is hard to find and it ain't cheap. Not sure what the real difference is between all the mags, but some of them are close to $100.00. Is there an advantage to one or the other? I was planning on AICS as that is what I have in the...

    Advice on .223 Tikka T3X and a KRG Bravo

    Ok members, been sniffing around for info on these items and many threads are close but way off....I have mucho .223 components and was leaning towards the Tikka (Lite JRTXE312) and the Bravo stock. This is not a PRS rifle, (I looked at build parts and that is not in the financial folder 😞)...

    Maggie’s THE "NOM NOM NOM" THREAD

    Daughter is home between duty stations for a short visit. The homemade mashed spuds are her favorite! I also made tacos a few days before. Tacos...imagine that....my grandmother's recipe but I added a little diced peppers which cooked down nicely.

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    The Michter's is very good. I had never seen that particular label so I scooped it up. The scotch is a favorite and I was celebrating a promotion at work so I figured why not...? And thennn.....old lady comes home from Costco with this! I put the missing brewskis in the fridge......they'll...

    Before: After: Given the tremendous outpouring of love that everyone has for HD lately I wanted to share these pics of the completed scooter. Had the rims powder coated along with a few other pieces, new skins, a full inspection and we're back in business. Probably get the belt guard done...

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    Oddly enough when I bought that 1910 Forester they also had the barrel proof Jack Daniel's. First time I have seen that around here. As I recall it was just over 120 proof. I was on the fence only because I have drank not quite an ocean of JD but possibly a small lake.....they also had...

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    I stumbled across the Porch Rocker few years back in a variety pack. I only find it during the summer around here so I scoop it up when I do find it. The 1910 is a true sippin' whisky! Lots of "ping" scheduled for tomorrow. :sneaky::p

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    I really enjoyed it! I like the Speysides personally. I have not seen the 14 locally. I reckon you may like it as well. A vague and broad statement, but everybody has a different palate. Iffin' you don't like it, send the rest of the bottle to me....:LOL:

    A gift from my daughter on Father's Day. Oddly enough I passed it by several times thinking..eh..next time...funny how as kids get older they are amazed at how much father's have learned over the years..... 😝 🤣
