    Scope Leveling; Instruction that ran counter to everything I thought I knew

    fact is, nobody can stand any kind of changes to theoretical and long-standing procedures. you know, the same for the new concept of a 223 w/ 77gr TMK being just fine for game up to elk and grizzly bears. seems you get shit for disagreeing with that too. funny how the group-think works.

    Scope Leveling; Instruction that ran counter to everything I thought I knew

    Is there better training than what the best military snipers in the world are getting? Maybe you should volunteer to set up better training for them then if you know it. Yeah, I don't think so. Besides, I'm thinking the instructor was talking about small amounts of off-levelness that most...

    Looking for some courage/advice on leaving a job for a 40k pay cut per year?

    It matters none what someone does with their free time vs working so long as they are enjoying it. Not everyone enjoys the job they have, the shift/hours or the people they work with and working more than necessary isn't going to make them happier. Choosing family over money is never the wrong...

    Scope Leveling; Instruction that ran counter to everything I thought I knew

    Who is best trained at long range accuracy know-how and tactics than Ranger snipers? Likely, nobody. Makes perfect sense, if you take the time to think about it and forget about your opinion. Enough said.

    Looking for some courage/advice on leaving a job for a 40k pay cut per year?

    There comes a point in everyone's life when time becomes a more valuable asset than money. No mortal is exempt from this. Choose wisely.

    7mm RM isn't a choice chambering in the rifle he is purchasing. 7prc is.

    Suggestions on Caliber in Light Weight Rifle

    Swiftshot, I am going to purchase that same Savage rifle. I have handled one and it's a great set-up. I already have a 7prc and a 300wsm in custom rifles so one of them will be my choice in this folding chassis set-up, but its a tough choice. I am leaning towards the 300wsm simply because of...

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    remember, inflation is still going up, just not as fast as it was....so, nothing is going to get cheaper. before prices get lower on auto's, they will just make better deals on financing which would be enticing to most, which doesn't help the cash or large DP buyer very much.

    Sportsman’s Warehouse

    brick and mortar retail is suffering to varying degrees regardless of what your product lines are. less sales and higher rents/wages/utilities and higher overall expenses to keep the doors open. many companies are folding up everywhere and not a whole lot of new ones opening. no secret only...

    What kind of animal is this?

    As I stated, best to take it to an animal shelter...they will know what's best for this harmless critter. It's not the critters fault some bozo adopted it and couldn't deal with it.

    Breaking Rules, Tack, and Everything Else: My DIY Horseback Hunting Chronicle

    quirks are Ok..you work around those if not a safety/health issue. Bad habits are not OK if they compromise safety/health or stand in the way of what you want to accomplish. You need to know how it rid your horse of those. The sooner the better. No reason to deal with a problematic horse...

    Breaking Rules, Tack, and Everything Else: My DIY Horseback Hunting Chronicle

    not a matter of slowing him down...only giving things to think about before he or the horse suffer injury. 20,000 riders per year end up with a severe injury from riding a horse(not taking into consideration the horses' injuries) and a person is 20x more likely to suffer a severe injury just...

    What kind of animal is this?

    obviously someones pet that they forgot on the roof of their car or back of their truck if you are remote and it fell off at some point. Perhaps take it to a place that takes in injured or lost baby wild animals/birds etc. unless you want to keep it as your own pet. Neat little animal though...

    Breaking Rules, Tack, and Everything Else: My DIY Horseback Hunting Chronicle

    missjordan, great advice. the 1 hr/wk for me and 1 hr/wk for my horse with a trainer has taught the both of us so much in the past 1.5-2 years and we are the better for it. time and money well spent. this was partially on the advice from the vet as far too many horses are ruined by...

    Breaking Rules, Tack, and Everything Else: My DIY Horseback Hunting Chronicle

    yyc, you and your gelding could use some formal training...you can only get by so far with reading and watching the tube. sure, you can learn on your own but it's going to be a long, hard fought battle and if you are lucky you won't get severely injured...or worse. Lots of people and horses...

    Knee (cap) pain?

    unlikely to have a torn tendon/ligament in both legs at the same time. bursitis..give it a months rest meaning no heavy leg work or long hikes with weight. I had it in my right elbow from pumping too much weight too frequently....it seems like forever to go away. But, with some rest it will.

    WTS Weatherby Carbonmark .257 Wby for sale

    Nice rifle. The original large game lightning rod. Everyone today trying to reinvent what Roy developed 60+ years ago, like small caliber super high velocity is something they thought of. He dropped polar bears with the 257W. I have a few Bee's and they just flat out shoot.

    WTS Colt CLR Melvin/ Outkast conversion

    The factory barrels are great, nothing wrong with them at all and I believe they are Douglas barrels. I have one in a 300 Win Mag I was thinking about having a conversion done. Pretty much everything is fine except for that crappy $50 stock they put on them. I had one in a 270 and loaned it...
