    Anyone got a ford raptor how ya like it.

    One day, a Raptor will sit in the driveway. As for fuel economy, I currently drive a 1997 F-150 with a 4.6l engine. I get 14mpg mixed highway/city. Last week I was TDY and rented a 3.5l eco-boost F-150. It got 13.4mpg, mixed highway/city (from the cool digital dashboard gauge) . To say I was...

    ever sold a gun that you wish you really really did not.

    I bought a Chinese SKS, with capture papers, from the Assistant Division Commander of the 101st. He brought it back from Vietnam and had held it for over 15 years. In a moment of stupidity, I traded it for a really nice, used, Browning semi-auto shotgun, that turned out to have MAJOR mechanical...

    What to do with 2 48oz waygu tomahawk ribeye steaks

    +1 If not already done by your butcher shop, dry age in the refrigerator. Will concentrate the flavor. But for the love of all that is holy, DO NOT cook these things to anything over medium. (I acknowledge some people are squeamish of pink, but they'll get over it at medium.) I have people...

    Auburn VS FL state in BCS National Championship Game

    Her "true beliefs" is that this man is soon to be a college graduate and can't seem to put a sentence together. I'll cut him some slack and chalk it up to post game nerves.

    Can anyone ever touch your gun?

    As a "warrior", I assume military, the weapon is not yours. It is Uncle Sam's property and everyone and their brother touches it. From the supply sergeant to whoever was randomly assigned to do monthly/quarterly inventory. It was assigned to you and will be reassigned when you leave. As an...

    Rifle Scopes Is there an OBJECTIVE rating scale for measuring optics clarity and resolution?

    Very true. I had done a lot of research about a particular set of Steiner binoculars, for hunting. Tried them at a trade show and was happy, until the vendor asked if I wanted to look at the next step up. I immediately noticed the difference and decided to go with them, until I was asked to...

    Trigger sticks?

    I really like the Primos Trigger Sticks. Easily adjusted both up and down, and collapses down to a manageable length. But, they are too heavy for me to use when hunting. I already have enough stuff to carry. I ended up going with their Pole Cat, and haven't even taken those yet this year. I...

    SLC smog, what to expect?

    I lived there for 14 years. What you are hearing about is called Inversion. Air movement gets stalled against the mountains and smoke, exhaust, etc. gets trapped underneath it. Only happens during the winter and only lasts a few days. News reports go out to make sure people with asthma are...

    We had an optometrist in our unit when we deployed to Iraq. He was constantly on folks to wear their glasses. All it took was seeing a few people coming in to see him with embedded debris in their eyes (mostly mechanics), to get the message. Now when I work on a vehicle, or gunsmithing, they...

    Mikhail Kalashnikov passed away

    Great designer, but as for Greatest, I think John Moses Browning EASILY takes that title. I am still amazed at his wide range of firearms inventions.

    Mikhail Kalashnikov passed away

    A simple man who answered his nation's call to develop a weapon to defeat the Nazi's. His true desire, as an engineer, was to design agricultural machinery. If it wasn't a great design, it wouldn't still be in continuous production since 1947! I own and shoot every Cold War version, from the...
