Thought my magpul hunter on a Rem 700 was stiff until I grabbed it the other day out of the rack and noticed I can squeeze the stock to the barrel at the end of the stock which tells me it could make...

    Budget Cooler Recommendations

    Back in July when my wife and I drove to Colorado and back from Tenn we used one of these lifetimes from Wally world. It did great. Temps were in the mid to high 90's the 14 days we were gone, and we left the cooler in the back of the suv every day, never took it out. The 2 bags of ice would...

    Boots - are we doing it wrong

    Ya know @Formidilosus may have a point. My wife and I have been married over 33 years. In that time frame, I have only seen her wear a pair of shoes (sneakers) once. The rest of the time she has been in flip flops, nice ones, but still flip flops. We just came back from vacation, in Colorado...

    Colorado hotel resort within 2.5 hours of Denver.

    We just stayed the last 6 days in Steamboat Springs. Will be driving home in Tennessee and plan on spending the day in Estes Park and the Stanley Hotel. We have really liked it here at the Wyndham resort. It has been quiet and peaceful for sure.
