    Bifocals - WTF

    I finally broke down and actually admitted I need bifocals about 6 months ago. I had a set made up with HD/Progressive lenses. They work great except I've noticed that I'm not seeing as well through scopes. I'm wondering if it isn't the nature of the progressive lens. I KNOW there are folks out...

    Shooting with ruptured eardrum. No worries or not so much?

    Seems like the right place to ask this question. I'm dang near certain what the doc will say, but I thought I'd ask the members. Going on 2 weeks plus with a ruptured eardrum, and right now I'd say I'm only hearing at <10% of the level pre rupture in that ear. I really would like to go shooting...

    Rifle Scopes Scope to help TRG 42 be more balanced

    I have a TRG 42 in 300 wm that I have been shooting as my "big" LR rifle as well as a long range hunting rifle. I really like how the rifle feels and balances with no scope, but with the scope (bushnell ers 4.5-30) it feels very top heavy. From a bipod I never noticed, but offhand or simply...

    Gunsmithing Any reason not to rethread a TRG?

    I'm just wondering if there is some sort of unseen pitfall with rethreading a stock TRG 42 in 300 wm from metric threads to 5/8x24? What I've researched here says there isn't, but a " please don't do it" response to a request for info from a supplier of TRG accessories has me wondering. It...

    Gunsmithing Converting a TRG 42 338 to 300 win mag

    I'm interested in 1. Is it feasible to convert from 338 to 300 2. What work is involved? 3. Who would be the right smith to take a project like this on. My reasoning is that there seems to be a relatively large number of 338's available, but I really don't need/want everything that a...

    PR and a trophy for last 1/2 of the season

    I didn't want to run this race, and my wife talked me into it. Then I drank a decent quantity of beer counseling a bud whose wife just served him papers the day before the race. I used the theory that faster I ran, the quicker it was over. Finished in 1:51:13 which is a PR. Due to it being a...

    Recent experience with alpha mags

    My Google searches turned up two very different opinions on the alpha mags with the older posts being very favorable and the newer posts being very critical. Anyhow, I'm needing two ten round SA mags and can't find AICS in stock. That has me considering the alpha's, but I'm concerned with the...

    Short rifle, long action - 308 or 30-06?

    For some reason I absolutely missed the fact that TX now allows game animals to be hunted with a suppressor. I happen to have a take off 30 cal barrel and an old (slick) remington m700 la with a standard bolt face that I've considered making something m24ish out of. The barrel is from a gap...
