    VitaMix?

    Jumped on the blender wagon myself (Blendtec) for $300 refurbed. I just had upper jaw surgery to expand my palate, and my GF says I look like a white version of Biggie Smalls now. Ya, it's that bad, I would be eating nothing without this contraption. I never thought I would buy a $400 blender...

    Lower back pains , any suggestions ??

    This thread is an interesting read, but as someone correctly noted, self-diagnosis and treatment is fraught with peril. I had many years of pain, and I should have sought additional medical treatment sooner. I tried Chiropractic, Massage, Yoga, Acupuncture, etc with varying degrees of success...

    Fitness/ training while on the road

    Rifle Scopes Need a (inexpensive) scope recomendation for varmits, load development, and steel.

    The BSA 4-14 FFP mil/mil scope for a cheap scope absolutely rocks. I have one, and although it's not quite as good as my Horus HDMR, you would be surprised how much value you get for $249. BSA Tactical Mil-Mil Rifle Scope 30mm Tube 4-14x 44mm Side Focus 1/10 Downsides: Not Illuminated...

    SBR question please help me out!

    Question 1. There are three ways to attach a barrel extension that the ATF views as "legal". 1. a blind pin (which means that the pin cannot be accessed once finished, usually by a small spot weld) 2. Welding in place 3. Silver solder with a very high operating temp (IIRC > 1150 f.)...

    FPFRussia gets raided by Feds.

    Come on now... Seriously, while it's any parent's right to decide that their child should wear a helmet, the end of the world is unlikely without one. As a kid, we'd ride full speed at each other playing chicken... and there were times when I was stupid enough to ride full speed towards someone...

    Rifle Scopes So, Now I Need A Scope. Help Me Choose.

    I really like my Horus HDMR. 3-21x, FFP, useful reticle. Only downside is it's not illuminated. Horus does make some illuminated scopes in that price range.

    Rifle Scopes Horus HDMR H58 vs Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 3.5-10x40mm

    Re: Horus HDMR H58 vs Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 3.5-10x40mm I do like the reticle, I have found that I don't mind shooting offsets, which is something the Horus reticles make pretty trivial. Keep the good information coming, support makes a difference and the fact that Bushnell is willing to...

    Rifle Scopes Horus HDMR H58 vs Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 3.5-10x40mm

    What say the experts? I noticed that the military discount for the HDMR H58 puts the scope at $850 and the Mark 4 3.5-10 (M3 or M5/FFP) are both about $1100 on promotive. Assuming that I will use this as a general purpose scope for shooting 300-600 yards on a .223 or .308 caliber semi-auto...

    Rifle Scopes Newbie Question - Why can't I tell the difference?

    Re: Newbie Question - Why can't I tell the difference? I have a boatload of rifles... However to keep it simple, I have some bolt action guns (.223, .30-06, 7.62x54R, 8mm), same goes for semi-auto except I have some 7.62x51 and .308 guns in addition to all the other calibers. I am thinking...

    Rifle Scopes Newbie Question - Why can't I tell the difference?

    Re: Newbie Question - Why can't I tell the difference? WOW, I would have never expected a scope to fail with such a lightweight round... I mean I can understand where cheap scopes take a pounding with something like .338 Lapua or even a non magnum cartridge like 7.62x54R or 8mm... but to hear...

    Rifle Scopes Newbie Question - Why can't I tell the difference?

    Re: Newbie Question - Why can't I tell the difference? Yes, tonight (well this evening before the sun completely went away) it became painfully obvious that the Nikon had a much better glass, and that the others (especially the $60 tasco and Bushnell) had problems with the reticals showing...

    Rifle Scopes Newbie Question - Why can't I tell the difference?

    Re: Newbie Question - Why can't I tell the difference? Thanks for the input... I'll have to wait for the light to fade to check them side by side... I was looking at targets at about 150 yards according to my range finder and all were clear and sharp mid-day. All of them have achieved what I...

    Rifle Scopes Newbie Question - Why can't I tell the difference?

    Yes, I am a newbie, so perhaps you all will take some mercy on my soul with my first post... I have 5 scopes here, and really I can't tell the difference in quality in any gross manner from one to another. The scopes: 1. BSA TMD624x44-30SP - $149 2. Bushnell 3-9x40 Trophy - $149 3. TASCO 3-9x40...
