    What's more important...Calories or Protein?

    Re: What's more important...Calories or Protein? Good point about the coffee, never thought about it that way, I just remember all of the guides (self included) always brought coffee and damn that tastes good on a cold morning, esp if you've got to drag 14 year old boys around all day...

    .30'06 vs .308

    Re: .30'06 vs .308 OK, hang on all you 300 win mag fans, in my experience, I would not grab the 300 win mag for 1 huge reason, that nice flat 700-1000 yard effective range you guys are all touting? You can't safely achieve that with a bullet that weighs over 180-190. I was reading a...

    Photos .308's from 1233 yards on an F-Class Target

    Re: .308's from 1233 yards on an F-Class Target Thanks for the info but I kinda knew that. The original intent was for it to be a joke for everyone who has spent any time in the UK to laugh at, not lecture me on my supposed lack of knowledge of geography... Also, cool sticker on the stock...

    .30'06 vs .308

    Re: .30'06 vs .308 I've hunted whitetail for 6 years now in Michigan's U.P. with a variety of rifles. On paper I'm good with everything I've picked up so far, but the only thing I've ever had any luck with in the field is my 1903 in 30'06. For target and high volume I wouldn't get it, but...

    Re: .308's from 1233 yards on an F-Class Target long range shooting in Scotland, so, were you shooting from the North Sea over to a target on the Atlantic shoreline or was it the other way around?

    Re: I'm having a custom leather cheek rest made. Do it in oxblood! (I had a pair of oxblood Frye riding boots a while back and they looked sweet.)

    AICS vs MCM A5

    Re: AICS vs MCM A5 Thanks Guys, I think I've got a pretty good feel for known long term potential advantages/disadvantages (and I'll have to take a look at the Manners line). Now and I'll just have to find one to have a go at and go from there.

    Anyone having any luck with 8208 XBR in .223?

    Re: Anyone having any luck with 8208 XBR in .223? Hey, where in the U.P. I'm currently living in Marquette for school but I've got family in Esky, This may seem overly friendly but I'm not finding very many people locally to glean knowledge from so I'm being a bit aggressively outgoing.

    Maple Syrup.

    Re: Maple Syrup. 50calcruiser: A Yooper to me consists of looking in the mirror. Usually it's a fifth of VO before dinner and don't even think about the titty bar because the only one in the area last I heard (BIG BONS) featured a Grandmother+Mother+Daughter act. Like John said, you are...

    Should I take out a loan?

    Re: Should I take out a loan? That last one makes a good point as well, my rainy day fund is only 400 right now (that aside from the 600 I have set aside), I should probably increase that a bit... Thanks Bryan I think, I have learned a bit from this thread and I think it's a fairly well...

    Runners, a question...

    Re: Runners, a question... If you run for less than 20 minutes, it's a warm-up for another exercise (i.e. powerlifting, football, etc.) If your time running exceeds 20 minutes it becomes a cardio workout by it's own rights. So, if you're running to run, try and get up around 1/2 hour...

    Excersizing with firearms

    Re: Excersizing with firearms I don't let anyone handle my firearms. End of Story. My father and my ex were the only exceptions, ever. And women don't sweat as much. Problem solved. Otherwise, buy a heat resistant matte stove paint and coat your rifles in it.

    water proof pens

    Re: water proof pens In Soviet Russia, Space Write in Pencil.... Seriously though, if your surface is coarse, usually a pencil does the trick, any weather, any temp. Otherwise I've got some great art pens that work well in the rain, made for drawing over/through watercolor; can't remember...

    AICS vs MCM A5

    not sure where this should go but I couldn't really find anything when I searched so it's going here. This is a ways out for me, but going around on the site, I'm seeing a lot of people running the AICS or similar "chassis" systems, and then in different threads I'm seeing people running...
