I had an 87 model from '89-'92 or there about. It was reliable for me. Engine is a 1.3 liter. It got 29mpg everywhere, but I think a little worse economy on the highway. Sidekick/Tracker had the 1.6L engine. I was thinking of getting another one 10 or so years later and went to check it out...

Winchester 100

I had one of those for several years. Dad has(had?) a 22lr/410. Good close range grouse gun to carry in truck.

Rem 7400, synthetic stock, 18.5" barrel, 338-06. Or same in 7600.

I have 400yds of rope in my truck bed...😉 So willing to go at least that far. Hiked in 5 miles once and found elk, during December archery, there was even a legal bull in the bunch, and it was 330pm. To far away to shoot and then they spoke out of there. I was questioning if I even wanted to...

I usually limit exertion a little while wearing the rain gear.

After many different types of raingear over the years, I've settled on Kuiu Ultra NX bought on closeout(they discontinued it). Waterproof enough for PNW coastal rain and it rolls up small to carry in pack and deployed when needed. If you just want to sit out a squall then a poncho might be best.

Bought 3 boxes of those when I got my 257, $39.95 each back then. That was the 60 cases I used for several years. A box of brass was more expensive, $45 for 20, go figure eh. They were accurate and about 3500fps.

Once you do a remage barrel and hog out the stock for the nut and skim bed everything, do you have to re-bed it if you change the barrel again? Or go back to the stock barrel(assuming you didn't destroy it). I'm guessing that this is not a one and done change, the point being that a simpler to...

Are you maybe forgetting to re-zero the calipers after removing the comparator?

I kept picturing 1885, not the 1886. Wondering why the talk of lever guns. I just got out of bed...

Archery doesn't come into play here as far as the energy doing the killing, since it's the sharp blades slicing into organs or whatever and causing bleeding and/or lung collapse. Like getting stabbed with a knife or hit with a baseball bat.

Since he's using brass that was fired in a different rifle than his, there is no point in trying to achieve a specific shoulder bump. Full length size the brass then shoot it in your rifle.

I didn't think that it's a safety blade, purpose is to make a lighter trigger pull when the blade is depressed. Not like a Glock trigger.
