    Question for smokers

    But non-smokers feel free to chime in too. How many of you feel that it is perfectly acceptable to throw a cigarette, lit or not, out of your car/truck window? I see this almost daily, from all types of people. Most, I assume, would never throw a wrapper, pop can, etc out of their car, but it...

    Issues with my new blackberry....

    I just got the new bold from work. My personal phone is an older model bold ( until my contract runs out)' so I am familiar with operating blackberry type devices. On my new one, I have an indicator telling me I have a message, but I have no message. I have tried the "mark prior as open"...

    Does anyone know the torque spec for the action screws on a Browning A-Bolt?? I have a synthetic stocked stalker model. I can't find much on it, other than "snug". I realize that sporters don't usually need to be cranked down like precision rigs, but I'm looking for something a little more...

    Rifle Scopes How do you guys keep your optics dry in the rain??

    I shot in the rain ALL day yesterday. The only thing more annoying than looking through water droplets on the lens, and the distraction caused by them running down the lens while shooting, was getting a face full of water everytime the gun went off. Due to the water to the face every round, I...

    Rifle Scopes Do I have to bed my scope base?

    How important is this? I have a VERY little gap, if any between the rear of my base and the rail, when the front screws are installed. Is bedding that necessary, or should i just mount the base and move on?

    Rifle Scopes Which mount??

    I have searched, here and elsewhere, and read up on what I could find. Until now I have used Leupold bases/rings on my rifles, but I am now attempting to get into the big boy game, not just deer rifles. Does it make a difference which rings I get? I have looked at Badger, Seekins, Spuhr, and a...

    I am looking for a new bolt gun in .308. I am leaning towards an FN SPR A1 or A1A. I have handled the rifle, and love the feel. I am not a stranger to bolt guns, as I've been using them to wack deer with for years. This will be my first "precision rifle" and am wondering what the general...
