    Gunsmithing Scope base screws

    Need to buy some 6-48 base screws (or re-tap action for something more common), and while the base (EGW aluminum) looks like it is machined for the weaver oval head screws, the countersunk holes are a little screwed up from someone drilling the screw heads. So, I am considering cleaning up the...

    Are resume's private at work?

    Is it legal to circulate applicants resume's around the work place? Meaning with multiple people who will not be involved in the hiring or interviewing process? I would think not, but the boss seemed to not care. What say you?

    Thermal Underwear

    This may be the wrong forum for this, but it is kind of equipment. I wanted to get Under Armor 3.0 cold gear, for a base layer. But being 6'5" there are no options for the tall guys. I searched for alternatives, and ran across: http://militarythermals.com/ I haven't seen any reviews, other...

    Electronic hearing protection

    I am going to be hunting with a 460 XVR and decided I am going to need some ear protection that will allow me the ability to hear as well. Most of what I have read seems to recommend Howard Leight impact sports or Peltor 6's or 7's. I would like to keep this in the under $200.00 price range. So...

    .260-.243-6.5 grendel

    I have a .308 bolt rifle, and a 6.5 grendel on the way. I am trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on another grendel, a .260, .243, or a .308 in the large AR platforms. I have 3 .223's already, I don't have a need for another. I need three more for replacement settlement on a house...
