LOL had to reply to this. My son was 24 and graduating from A&M..... while my GF of the previous 5 years, newlywed, was 6 months pregnant at his graduation. Made for a spectacular party the next night for sure! He's now 32..... daughter is 8. And I'm fucking old!!!

When I was a young lad, I worked in a motorcycle shop as a mechanic. Used lots of phillips, hex and torx bits in impact driver. I had then, lots of craftsman tool, I was in college, was all I could afford. Whenever I had a tough screw or bolt to get out, I borrowed the other guys Snap on...

You made the right decision. Walk away. A wise man told me once - write this down, it's important - THE BEST REVENGE IS LIVING WELL. THEY CAN"T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU AND YOUR HAPPINESS PISSES THEM OFF MORE EACH DAY. I have been applying this lately, and it is very good advice.

I saw him at Astroworld in Houston, August 1977. Helluva show, by a real showman. RIP Mista Berry, thanks for the memories.

I'm just glad to see the site on it's own again. Post count is not the thing we ought ( or Frank ) to be most worried about.

Well, Frank, All the rest of Y'all..... glad to be back, away from Scout. I confess, I didn't care much for that place. I'm also back, as the new and improved single solo version.....

Get both!!! I can't believe I am the 15th post on this, and not one of you gave the obvious answer - BOTH!!!! GET THEM BOTH! Seriously, this topic has been much discussed around our group. I used to have a business partner with a ranch in Montana, and we had access to MUCH bigger places...

Ask and you shall receive, here is a pic of the reticle, 17x : and one on the rifle, old pic, rifle now wears a SF can: That's a bit big on the pic, but the lawn chair across the canal, gives you an idea of the FOV. Hard to get good pics thru scope, was trying for a reticle pic...

And this is why I have earned the rank of "recoil sponge". Got a 300 WM needs sighting in? Give it to Mikee. Got a 338 WSM you need sighted in? Don't laugh, there is such a beast, Give it to Mikee. Got a 375 H&H needs sighting in? Give it to Mikee. Got anything that begins with a...

I have several of Lex's rifles, they all shoot good, most are equipped with brakes, his brake is a design he came up with after much testing. I'll say this, they work. Other than being loud, I have a 300 WM, with a "pencil thin" floppy barrel, that is a hammer, you just aren't going to send a...

There is a gentleman outside of Houston that does very well with a 22-250 AI, shooting mini-clays at 250-400 yards. Shoots the 90 grain Bergers IIRC. Reasonable barrel life, not great, nothing with small bores and lots of powder is magic, as far as barrel life goes. It plays on a more than...

x 2 to the advice here - another little trick to minimize the case stretch when fire forming cases is to NOT clean the case lube off before firing. Obviously do not fire a full house load, the idea is to have the case slip in the chamber, against the bolt face. A case would normally grip the...

Welcome to Texas Jerry! Can't help you with the lawnmower part, but suspect if you look in the back of the trailer of the typical lawn service, you will get some answers there also. You'll likely have to buy it at a professional outlet rather than the homeowner grade stuff sold at the box...

And rare too!

You bedded the rifle, just before this happened? Check the trigger assembly, out of the rifle, in fact, adjust it while OUT of the stock. When you get it right, and I suspect you will, put it back in the stock. If the problem re-appears, you have a small interference issue with the trigger...

Any of you guys looking for a Grizzly clone - there is one for sale in the Houston craigslist. GML-1640HD Metal Lathe Appears to be identical to the big Griz gunsmith lathe, without all the extra features Shiraz puts on it, like spiders etc. Price is good too.

Yes, when I said soaking above - it was in salt water. Do not make a mistake like we did once - we used several new galvanized wash tubs to soak the venison, in a walk in cooler. Tasted great - but about 6 hours later - there was a wild outbreak of lower intestinal distress in that part of...

Too heavy for my tastes for a rugged sheep hunt. I have a sheep hunting rifle - 300WM weighs about five pounds plus scope, yes that's right. Very slim 24" barrel, last two inches is a brake. It doesn't spank you as bad as you'd think, but it is for shooting once well, no more than four shots...

Next time I fly into FLL, I'll PM you sir, beers, whiskey and seafood on Mikee - Blue Moon Seafood sound OK to you? I got sent to GT's as " please just work here for a couple years, then we will xfer you to steam turbines...." 22 years, never made to steamers, but was the GT czar for some...

STR, I'm not an electrical guy, but a wayward mech engineer - got sentenced to work on the GT's, by a fluke, but since GT's weren't mainstream in 1980, we did all our own stuff, without help from the corporate weenies. So, if we had a problem, let's give it to Mikee, he can fix anything...
