    Budget Trail Cameras that work

    After quite a bit of research today, I just pulled the trigger on some GardePro E5S cameras for $49. Pretty good reviews and they check a lot of boxes... for me anyway.

    Got her sanded up. Now…. Stain or not? This is just water. I’m thinking no stain.

    Trying this stuff. It's a gel, and then I'm hoping the wrap and duration of sit will help. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Citristrip-1-qt-Safer-Paint-and-Varnish-Stripping-Gel-Non-NMP-QCSG801/307416109 This stock also has a thick clear coat that appears to be polyurethane. May take a few...

    So, after the purchase of a new scope, I’ve decided to refinish the stock of my 2002 A Bolt II in 270wsm. Not sure how much barrel life it has left, but it’s still shooting well, so I suppose it’s worth it. I’m guessing between 300 and 400 down the tube. Would like to think I could get 1,000...

    Interesting. I’ve got a Wheeler Fat wrench and always figured it was good.
