    Night Vision So I went coyote hunting with a pistol....

    That was really nice! I wish I could see the coyote better though.

    afd77 good transaction and quick ship

    Sent a bipod very quickly. It was mailed before 9 the next morning. The bipod was exactly as expected.

    Spotting and concealment resources?

    Bump.

    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    I started by going to Brazosport College in a machnist/millwright program. I went to a shop in town that I hoped to work for, and they wouldn't even let me leave a resume. Then I met the nephew of the machine shop foreman in a class, and he was impressed with what I could do on a machine...

    Brass prep for longrange

    The AMP annealers are crazy expensive though! I have not bought an annealer yet, but if I do, it will probably be the Annealeez for $275.

    Send it In or Trade Up?

    I thought you were talking about a scope at first. When you said you hit cows at 1200 I was thinking that was an odd way to slaughter!

    Brownells prices

    I've never bought anything from Brownells because they have never had the best price on anything I wanted!

    Peterson 6.5 Creedmoor neck thickness?

    Thanks! That is helpful. So based on a loaded diameter of .295, it should be about .293 before loading. So I am thinking .291 or .292 will be what I need if I am going to let the expander bring it to its final size. On a side note, I'm a machinist, so once I get my first bushing I should be able...

    Peterson 6.5 Creedmoor neck thickness?

    Does anybody know the neck thickness of Peterson's 6.5 Creedmoor brass? I've ordered 350 pieces of their small rifle primer brass, and I have a set of Redding Type-S dies coming from another member that will need a bushing. I may just wait for it all to get here and take measurements then, but I...

    New from TX

    That would be great. I need some people to learn from. I still need a bipod, bullets and powder, but I am trying to buy used as much as possible, so that has been slowing me down. Are you doing PRS? I'm planning on getting into competition, even if I come in last for a while.

    New from TX

    I live near Dallas and work a few miles from Triple C. I have not been out there yet though because I am still getting set up for long range. Welcome to the Hide. There are a lot of nice guys on here, but the few jerks like to talk a lot!

    Texas New Guy

    This is an official shout: I want to shoot with you! I go through Cleburne every day going ro and from work. I work in Godley and live near Midlothian. I am new to long range, so maybe you could teach me something!

    New guy from Central Texas

    That would be fun! It would also be fun to get together with people for some handloading. I would host, but I live in a camper and am forced to bolt my press to the back bumper, so it's about as bad a place for handloading as it gets.

    New guy from Central Texas

    I am in DFW and I want to go to the PRS match July 21st at Jacob's Plain if I can get gear and dope ready by then. I need a bipod, ammo, and some trigger time! For optics, a lot of people on here suggest the Vortex Razor 4.5-27x56 and I went with that. I have not shot with it yet, but it is...

    Atlas this, Harris that, but what about...

    I would buy a Ckye-pod if the price were lower. That's my only problem with it. That's probably the only gripe anybody has.

    Atlas this, Harris that, but what about...

    It really seems nice, I just cannot bring myself to pay $445 plus shipping plus whatever it would cost to put a rail on the bottom of my Tikka ($50?). There is no way I would be getting anywhere near $400 with a Harris. $100 for the bipod and $25 for the lever. Done. You do get more with the...

    Bought a rifle. No problems.

    Vampire blood drive... Sounds legit!

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Should lasers be trusted on concealed carry?

    Whoa! And here I thought we were getting to be pretty friendly! I was not intending to be demeaning to anyone. I was just speaking from personal experience. My wife loves lasers. My mom loves lasers and won't buy a gun that can't be fitted with one. When I did a "citizen's police academy" all...

    How did cops used to deal with dogs?

    I can see both sides of this argument. I have had bad police interactions. I once had a police officer come up to me while I was fishing, and I handed him my fishing license DL and handgun permit. When he got to the handgun permit he jumped back and drew on me. He thought I was a kid (I look...
