Welcome from the state of taxation without representation, I live in Oregon where the blue population in Salem, Eugene and Portland have the vote and the other 90% of the residents vote never counts.

I will be buying 250, 300 win mag, long brass this year. Please keep us updated. Thanks

Tag, I'm shopping too!

For my hunting rifles I prefer generally close to a 2 lb trigger. I always preform the slam test to ensure it doesn't go off if the rifle gets jarred. My most recent purchase is a Trigger Tech. I like it a lot. Before that, I had always used Timney. I will say the customer service I received...

Yes, I have read Unintended Consequences by John Ross. Great book. Lot of truth in it.
