    Has anyone thought of leaving the US for greener pastures?

    And now, completely unwanted in NZ, our ex Prime Minister lives in the US, and works at Harvard. You're welcome.

    Has anyone thought of leaving the US for greener pastures?

    Not really, I think our issues are more due to low quality politicians than a nefarious plot to run the place via NWO puppets. I also don't think our 7000 police could make much of a state. It seems there is quite a gap between reality and the news - you might even have seen some of that...

    To those who say lower cost guns aren't "accurate"..

    Somebody asked McClownrider55 how stupid he was and the duck guy decided to make a competition out of it.

    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    Try making a press out of a 3' length of heavy I beam, a bottle jack and a couple of strongbacks. Shouldn't cost much, and cheaper than cutting from plate, that's for sure.

    The M1907 sling, am I the only one still using it?

    I use one on my hunting rifle. Can't beat slinging up seated for shooting over scrub and tussock. Turner biothane for the win.

    Go To No Frills Scope Rings?

    I'm a big fan of Sportsmatch - they made the AI rings, and are very fairly priced. The Burris rings with inserts are very good value too, and being able to fit offset inserts can be a gamesaver on occasion.

    Land Surveying Question

    The neighbor probably got up the surveyor when they were on the job, and to calm him down the surveyor possibly offered a copy- if they are as threatening as you suggest. Have you asked your surveyor what the fuck he was doing giving a copy of a survey you paid for to anyone other than you...

    Mate. I'm on the other side of the planet, and even I can see that you are full of shit. Take a deep breath, and disconnect from the TV. It's not doing you any favours.

    The Cone of Shame

    Got to agree. Suppressors were a rare thing here (NZ, other than .22rf, and everybody used them) until maybe 25 years ago. Now, it's a rare rifle that doesn't have one. Less noise, less upsetting the neighbours, better for the dog, less felt recoil.... why wouldn't you?

    I think Dave2C on ALR forum might do one. I'm on site and can't access my login there on my phone, but that is a superb forum for matters muzzle loading.

    Maven rs 1.2 2.5-15 vs Tract Toric 2.5-15

    The Athlon reticle at low power and low illumination looks like a somewhat pointed red blob - and works superbly on close deer. I'd agree that a fine mildot reticle or similar wouldn't be great, but this particular reticle works just spot on for the way and places I hunt - and I've used a bundle...

    The Bandit. He stole our hearts

    That is a real shame. They just never live long enough - but it sounds like you were the person he needed in his life.

    Maven rs 1.2 2.5-15 vs Tract Toric 2.5-15

    Yep, you sure nailed that one. I'd disagree somewhat, but given your comments, I doubt it is worth debating with you. I have shot 5 deer so far this year. They have been from 330m to 683m - using the not necessary FFP, with a max magnification of an inadequate 12x. In winter the closest I shot...

    Maven rs 1.2 2.5-15 vs Tract Toric 2.5-15

    2nd focal plane on the Leica though... I've been looking for a replacement for an Athlon 2-12 ffp that isn't made in Chyna, and the Mavern 1.2 seems to be the pick of the mid price range bunch.

    Shotgun people!

    I bent a Winchester model 1200 barrel once, it was hopelessly off line. A couple of gentle tweaks in the fork of a tree and all good to go. You point, nor aim shotguns, so hitting where you are looking is all important. Have you patterned it yet? Bent or not, if it is on the mark then leave it...
