    In need of new set of binos

    I just picked up a new set of Vortex Viper 10x42 HDs as a possible replacement for my Minox BL 10x44s and while the Vortex is good, to my eyes (and I've been comparing the two in a variety of conditions), it's not that much better than the Minox. You may want to check out the new Minox BL HDs...

    Hunting & Fishing Charter recommendations in Destin?

    My brother lives there and said New Florida Girl always puts you on fish (New Florida Girl) but it's a huge boat. If you want something a little smaller, he recommends the Swoop (Swoop Party Boat *Destin Florida Deep Sea Fishing *Charter Boats in Destin *Destin fishing) which is also faster...

    Looking for a smaller 4x4 truck, need advice

    I can tell you to stay away from Dodge Dakotas. I had one (2000 model) and I got rid of it at 50,000 miles. It was a 4.7 v8 4x4 and there were always problems, from leaking seals to suspension and steering failures to brake system issues. And it got really shitty mileage (worse than my full size...

    Anybody use "Worlds Finest Trimmer"?

    Re: Anybody use "Worlds Finest Trimmer"? Just started using one and it's made me pretty happy so far. Very fast, very consistent. I just trimmed 300 cases this afternoon in under an hour using a basic corded drill. A throw away latex glove makes handling the brass easy.

    WARNING ~ TR ~ My experience

    Re: WARNING ~ TR ~ My experience One thing is clear from all of this...It's nice to know that Spartan Rifles is a few miles from me and now I have a good smith to do some work on my rifles. And it also looks like the shitastic bedding job that I did on a rifle (which I'll be taking to Marc...

    Mystery Ranch or Eberlestock

    Re: Mystery Ranch or Eberlestock A few years back I went antelope hunting with a buddy who had a Mystery Ranch pack (Longbow). Before that I assumed that all packs were pretty much the same. Then I saw him strap a field dressed buck between the frame and the pack and how cleverly the Mystery...

    Stomach Virus....

    Re: Stomach Virus.... I had it two weeks ago today. Hit about 10 pm, I thought it was food poisoning from some home made pickles I ate for dinner. Was puking every 15 minutes from 10 pm until about 6 am, complete with the shivering and sweating. I kept drinking water and tea throughout to try...

    Hunting & Fishing Odd Hunting Experiences

    Re: Odd Hunting Experiences Towards the end of this year's spring turkey season I was hunting a ranch in hills above the Napa valley and found that the combination of my camo, stillness and favorable wind was too much for a mt lion. I was leaning up against an oak tree in my ghillie suit, so...

    Re: I'm getting soft-hearted... Interesting topic, because I had this feeling yesterday. About 30 yards across from my garage is a hill that has become infested with ground squirrels. I was doing something in the garage and noticed the movement of one of the squirrels and decided I'd try to...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting 308 round

    Re: Hunting 308 round I use a 168 gr TSX in my 308 and it has worked flawlessly. No grenading, busts through bones and turns the boiler room into jelly.

    Question from McMillans??

    Re: Question from McMillans?? Turns out mine is an Ishapore No. 1 Mk III from 1962. I don't take mine out of the safe much so if you find that you need more than one of the Ishapore rifles to verify the tolerances, I'm more than happy to send mine to you so you can check it out.

    Question from McMillans??

    Re: Question from McMillans?? I have an Enfield, pretty beat up on the stock but the rest of it is in good shape. When I get home tonight I'll check to see if it's a #1 Mk III (I think it is, but can't say for sure without looking at it). If it is, I'd be happy to send it over to you for the...

    GAP pedigrees

    I tried to do a search on the site to find the answer but I must have been using the wrong search terms. I'm trying to figure out who built my GAP rifle. After having it for 4+ years, I finally pulled the action from the stock tonight to look for the gunsmith's imprint. I found it, pictured...

    Hunting & Fishing Wyoming antelope help

    Re: Wyoming antelope help I hunted Unit 9 two years ago and had good luck. There wasn't a lot of public land but there was more than enough walk in ranch access (it's a state program where ranchers allow hunters on their land...no cost to the hunters, I believe the landowner get's a payment...

    Re: hornaday GMX vs SST bullets in 308 comparison I've used the GMX .308 to take antelope. Dropped em without another step. I like the GMX and it shoots better in my rifle than TSX rounds do.

    Hard double case??

    Re: Hard double case?? I also have the SKB double (Amazon has them cheaper than Midway, FYI). Totally love the case, it's been through the airlines a few times with no problems whatsoever. I've loaded it up with a one tactical type rifle (an AICS stocked Rem 700) and a pure hunting rifle and...
