    Rifle Scopes S&B 3-27 worth the difference over 5-25? 1.45" rings ok?

    (note--need to change my SN, not doing law anymore, thank the Lord) Prices on both these scopes are way down and I might be able to pick one or the other before long. Right now the only long rifle I have is a DPMS LR-308, Geissele trigger, 16" barrel, very accurate. Its immediate job is...

    Fieldcraft Determining north from plants, other than compass roses

    In my online Bio 2 class the instructor posed a question on the discussion board: "If you were lost in the woods, using knowledge from our course and other sources, can you think of a plant that would help you determine which way was north or south? Why or why not?" I said the best plant for...

    Hunting & Fishing Some dimensions for milling hogs

    Today I was able to get steel tape together with some full-grown domestic sows kept indoors. These are a proprietary breed with as little size variation as possible and chances are they're bigger than feral hogs, being better fed and less exercised.

    LR-308 FTEj stoppage when facing timber rattler

    Out for some hog hunting late this afternoon, I sprayed the lower and BCG of my stock DPMS LR-308 16" with Break-Free and dropped the first round of Rem factory match 168SMK in the chamber, as I'm used to doing from highpower slowfire stages, only this time it was to save the projectile from...

    Rifle Scopes What can you do with a PVS-14?

    The tactical problem here on the farm is about a squillion feral hogs tearing up our crops, mostly at night. We might be able to swing a PVS-14, which is less than $4,000 from reputable shops, since the hogs are doing more than $4,000 of damage. I have an M4gery (Colt 6920) and a DPMS LR-308...

    Fieldcraft Mixed martial arts

    I went over to TeamROC in Fayetteville NC yesterday for the first time. They teach Muay Thai and Gracie BJJ, and yesterday was a BJJ day. A couple hours on the mats learning a few moves and getting beat pretty good left me breathing hard, let's say. I'm a little sore today but ready to go...
