    Maggie’s TOTAL ECLIPSE TODAY / TOMORROW

    Re: TOTAL ECLIPSE TODAY / TOMORROW The path came right through Albuquerque so we were hanging out with a bunch of people and had a couple of filtered telescopes. I brought along my binoculars with special filters also. Fun stuff! Got this photo by holding my phone up to the binoculars. The...

    How Many Of You Know This 'Type' of Guy? **Rant**

    Re: How Many Of You Know This 'Type' of Guy? **Rant** Good for you for saying something to him. In a situation like that, I can go either way, but usually I just find somewhere to stand/be so that the jerk can't talk to me. Then I bitch about him/her later... You got it fixed straight up!

    Maggie’s best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

    Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious Not a gun story but still fits... We used host a training course here about once or twice per quarter, and we'd have 10-12 attendees to the course each time. Inevitably, there is at least one blow-hard who has seen it all and who's...

    Plastic rounds for dry fire practice?

    Re: Plastic rounds for dry fire practice? Interesting thought about mixing in the snap caps with real ammo to check for anticipation. Maybe I'll get a couple of them. Got 940 primers... gonna take a while to shoot them in hand loads!

    Rifle Scopes picture request

    Re: picture request OK, not the same base & rings, but they look similar. I'd bet the scope would also fit mine. It looks great how you have the front of the scope just clearing the barrel. Can't get better than that!

    Plastic rounds for dry fire practice?

    Sorry if this is a silly question - I'm still pretty new to bolt guns. I mentioned to my dad (who used to shoot a lot in the '60s & '70s) that I was dry fire practicing when I got the chance and how it seems to be improving my trigger control (groups are shrinking). He said that I might want to...

    Assembly started!!! ***Picture Update***

    Re: Some assembly required, but it begins! Nice! I've got a similar setup with the same stock, action, bolt knob & bipod. I just started reloading, too. It takes some work to get going but I'm finding it very rewarding. Enjoy!

    Maggie’s best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

    Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious C'mon... there's got to me more of these in 2012? This is my favorite thread and don't want to see it die. I wish I had some of these stories myself but not yet... I'm sure it's a matter of time.
