    Kitchen renovation appliances

    For as much as I like samsung phones and tablets, I'll echo what's been said about their refrigerators.... I'd rather have a cooler and bag ice than another samsung fridge. Ge now, seems to be working.

    Luckiest Shot You Ever Made

    Early October jumping ducks in irrigation ponds, windy warm day in shorts and t shirt. Whack a duck headed straight at us coming in hot, wind at his tail. Absolutely fold him up, buddy with me jumps and catches it like a base ball out fielder right out of the air. Second luckiest was my first...

    End of an Era - Remington leaves NY and moves to GA

    That's kinda true all over, eliminate one county from Oregon and it's red, 3 of the 36 and its in contention for most conservative in the nation. Washington state in the last election had some of the most conservative counties in the nation. But king county ruins the whole state all on its own...

    WHAT OPTICS ARE YOU USING ON YOUR MINI-14?

    I have a mini 30 ( the fishing boat special up here). It's back to irons, could probably use a shotgun bead and not change much.... Fun gun, but sights are suggestions on it.

    What gun did you want that was never made ?

    Yup. With the total domination of the 700 platform other shapes and sizes have gone to the wayside. The 600 vs the 527 is a sad transition, new sadly means bigger bulkier and European looking (read uglier). They were hit or miss on who had problems, heavy debate back in the day about single...

    What gun did you want that was never made ?

    Are either the kimber or sako in current production? The volquartsen was a start, an 11.25 lbd before optics start. Hmm. Definitely different levels to svelte.... that's a kodiak svelte...

    S&W Firearms

    They certainly are throwing a lot at the wall to see what sticks. Some have been good others left me scratching my head. Have an x frame and a 648 as well as a 617, all of which have some serious miles on them. Kinda bookend the revolved space... but hey it is what it is. Wife really likes her...

    What gun did you want that was never made ?

    9mm lever gun for plinking. 20 wsm rimfire, what the 17 wsm should have always been. B&m super shorts in a factor wssm action. Would be fun little woods rifles. A scaled down action like the fiedcraft for .223 bf and smaller. Modern pump like the old iwi Timberwolf but stainless in 44 mag...

    Whats the worse rifle or gun you ever bought ? I hsve several tied

    More I shoot mine the more they come apart. Have had to replace all three accurtriggers, one after it jammed up on a hunt. One of my savages has a bolt that despite all the locktite in the world won't stay together. The actions are much larger than an equivalent rem 700 platform, and in an age...

    Could milling rings from 34 to 35 “Hawkins hybrids” show strength/integrity problems on larger calibers?

    I wish guys would standardize .860 round Bridge and the same Mount to mount Gap. I don't know how we standardized around the same trigger hanger and footprint but somehow can't seem to make scope mounts that work across multiple platforms. Does it matter if it's Tally's , dnz, near, or hawkins...

    Could milling rings from 34 to 35 “Hawkins hybrids” show strength/integrity problems on larger calibers?

    Be interesting to see if the new mac Bros rings could potentially be retrofit to other round bridge recievers.

    Could milling rings from 34 to 35 “Hawkins hybrids” show strength/integrity problems on larger calibers?

    I'll dig but they gave lip service to 35mm in a thread a while back. It's possible that has changed.

    Could milling rings from 34 to 35 “Hawkins hybrids” show strength/integrity problems on larger calibers?

    I'd fire off the question to hawkins, they are usually really good about answering questions. Last fall they had a thread on one of these forums that hybrids would eventually come in 35mm. Didn't put an exact timeline but maybe the timeline works for you. BIL has a set on a Tikka that someone...

    Pro-wolf folks try to suppress this.

    Guessing we're referencing the same story. Or was there a case of it in the interior as well? The one I'm thinking of was in chignik lake.

    Pro-wolf folks try to suppress this.

    The pro lobby suffers from the same malady of "different truth" that so much of society struggles with these days. Can't really reason on any level with that... Little over a decade ago a teacher on a run near a village I'm from was attacked and killed by a pack of wolves on the outskirts of...
