    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    Get your PSA checked ! It was pure luck i started getting my psa checked at age 40. I had cancer at age 45. Had I not gone in for that first check up, I wouldn't be here now. Lost a friend to prostate cancer, he was 55, last few were brutal.

    Getting boxes long enough to ship guns

    try a Fed-x store. They have boxes specifically for both shipping guitars and golf clubs. I think the guitar boxes were 8" x 20" x 50" long, and the golf boxes were a bit bigger. they also have a bike box that you could cut down.

    Talk to me about rum.

    While I have nothing against the major rum brands, I would encourage anyone interested in rum to be more adventurous and explore some of the smaller brands and distillers. You get the advantage of finding some unique gems and are not paying the "big brand" markup (think Casa Amigos Tequila)...

    Talk to me about rum.

    First, you need to get a bit of an understanding of vast variety of Rums. Unlike Tequila, Bourbon, and many other spirits, there are no real "rules" on rum production, other than it has to be make with sugarcane as a base. I would suggest getting a bottle or two of the representative styles and...

    HCQ+Zinc+Z-pak now recommended for early Covid-19 treatment

    Doc, Here is the link to deaths in the US. Unfortunately it is only for the last couple of years, but it gives you a place to start. The question of "excess deaths" is complicated by how many excess suicides, over doses, and untreated medical conditions from the lockdown are in those numbers...

    Hunting & Fishing 2019 Hunting Thread - Post Your Pictures!

    Cow Elk hunt in Arizona a couple weeks ago. With all the hunting pressure, I was not optimistic on our chances. Third day we spotted a herd off in the distance and were able to close on them despite the open terrain. We ended up dropping 3 that morning. 420 yard shot(s). First one I either...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    The first time I shot a DT it was a right handed model and I am a lefty. It is a pain in the butt, you don't get a decent cheek weld. Shooting the HTI in 50BMG from the "wrong side" was even worse. I loved the platform and saved my pennies until I could get one with the bolt on the correct...

    Lefty Rant....

    Yeah it is slim pickings for us lefty's. I have a Ruger in 30-06 and a Savage 308. With no higher end offerings out there I bit the bullet and bought a DT SRS A1. They did discontinue the lefty model in the A2, so you might have to look for a used one if you go that route.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I put a straight edge along the rail of the handguard and receiver. It is clear that the handguard is off a bit on its alignment. I am not sure if it is worth the bother to re-install it as it doesn't affect the accuracy or performance of the rifle. I may fool with it when I am bored or have a...

    Thanks Flyright. I plan on reaching out to DT, although I am not too concerned about it.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I finally took the plunge and bought a Lefty SRS A1 in 300WM before they were discontinued. I have only gotten it out to the range a couple times, but so far I am very happy. One thing I noticed today was that the barrel is not centered in the hand guard. There is about 10mm space on one side...

    First pig I have dropped in a couple years. Lucky to have a friend with a ranch. Unlucky that whenever I am there, the pigs aren't. Nice small boar of 150#; the Barnes lead free 30-06 went right through him at 90 yards. Now I have a freezer full of Italian Sausage.

    Unfortunately, since they are discontinuing the A1, we are SOL if we want to buy a new chassis.

    Night Vision Digital - The Future of NV?

    Digital night vision is here, it is just not in the private sector. The F-35 is using it in its helmets, as are some NATO countries for specific applications. A company called Intevac in California owns the technology and has been developing it for years. Lack of US government funding and...
