    35 Whelen build help

    About 25/30 years ago I took a Mauser CZ24 that I got for next to nothing and turned it into a 35 whelan. This was when Midwayusa was selling the A&B short chambered barrels and Fajen wood stocks. I had my smith finsh chambering it, tap it for scope base and turn the bolt handle to clear the...

    Weightlifting coaching

    Yah, *zap* this is a great point that is often missed. You need to define “fitness” for yourself. Rippetoe makes an argument for strength being the end-all-be-all. He’s getting up there in age (maybe 60??) and can still deadlift 600, and regularly squats 500. He is self admittedly fluffy but...

    Spare Magazine or not Backcountry Sidearm

    personally, if I've decided that where I am going (wilds or not) needs me to carry, then I carry a spare mag.

    Help w Rifle Inaccuracy

    Um, yah, that's my point. He doesn't yet know what the problem is. As stated by the OP it could be the scope. He literally had a brand new Swaro in hand to test the setup with. But didn't. I get that buying used is caveat emptor, but I also feel like there could have been a bit more...

    Help w Rifle Inaccuracy

    Am I? A guy has an issue with a setup, goes to a forum and says so. He’s not sure what the issue is but has been given lots of suggestions including the easy test of having someone else shoot the setup to test if it is him or the setup itself. Or he could test with another scope on hand...

    Wait, you might have a scope problem but instead of figuring it out you sold the scope on RS without telling anyone that it might have a problem?

    Glock red dot.

    Thanks, @Formidilosus, appreciate it. I’ll keep ruining the delta pros until they fail, but I’ll also be saving up for their eventual demise :cautious:

    Room Temperature When Reloading

    I’ve never worried about temps being consistent, but I do worry about relative humidity. In the summer I can have really high humidity and I will either wait for a day with lower humidity or try to be an air conditioned room that has been taking the humidity out for a while. Does it matter? I...

    Glock red dot.

    Form, I hate to ask since your work on the scope reliability testing has cost me a bunch of money…. What are your experiences with the delta point pro? A reliable sight? I have two that have been good so far, but I haven’t put them through any kind of abuse yet. Also, I went from primarily...

    Weightlifting coaching

    Sorry, my response wasn’t exactly helpful. It came out different in my head…. Original post was on getting a from coach; Mark Rippetoe wrote a book titled ‘Starting Strength’ and in it he goes over the proper form on the low bar back squat, deadlift, bench, standing press, power clean and a few...

    Starting Strength for the win. Ripptoe goes through proper form and what to look for. Follow his linear progression before doing anything and you will be strong! It’s boring but it works.

    Help w Rifle Inaccuracy

    There are three major component systems to shooting. The firearm, the ammunition and the shooter. You'll need to systematically rule each one out and then go down the rabbit hole of the one that is throwing this off. I'd suggest you start with getting someone else to shoot the rifle before...

    Need some advise, Bow for my wife

    My partner wanted to get into bow hunting a couple of years ago. We went to a few local places and she tried several bows but kept coming back to the Bear Divergent (not the divergent EKO). It's compact, light, has a great range for adjusting draw length and poundage, was super easy to set up...

    Pistol brace news

    Maybe. As it stands right now I can own an AR upper with a barrel less than 16” even if I don’t own an AR pistol or registered SBR. It only becomes illegal if I attach it to a lower that is not a register SBR or a pistol. The difference between that and this brace rule is that they’re...

    Pistol brace news

    Agreed. Interpretation and application of the law or rule by the respective agency is often more important than the actual law. in my opinion there is a clear intent from the BATF to come after AR style pistols. The bump stock litigation took years, I’d expect just as long, if not longer...

    Pistol brace news

    Just to clarify, the way I read this is that the BRACE is what is being deemed illegal by this proposed rule, not the pistol itself. So that means that if you take the brace off of the pistol you should be good to go. We‘ll see if the final version rules on whether possession of a brace (not...
