    Truck camping when its too damn hot!

    I did JRTC in July and August. For those that don't know what that is, think of it as an all expenses paid month long austere camping trip in the swamps of Louisiana. I had a small D Cell battery powered fan I bought from Dick's Sporting Goods that I kept with me. I would turn it on right by my...

    What is your typical shot distance for small game?

    I'm running a 17hmr in Kansas. The fox squirrels here are skittish and spot ya from the fields and retreat to the thickest black locust and hedge rows they can find. Many of my shots are 75-100-ish yards. Rabbits, if I can find them, tend to be much closer, like 10-25. Farthest shot on a...

    4 door Jeep question

    I had a 2020 Jeep Gladiator. First thing I noticed when I got it was how small and cramped the inside was. I was used to 1/2 ton and larger trucks, and the Gladiator was significantly smaller. I am 5'9 and slim-ish, not a big guy. Ride was not smooth, pretty stiff suspension. I felt like the...

    Which 5.7x28?

    40 grain 5.7 in a pistol, regardless of manufacture, runs about 1750-1800 fps. The 22 mag in a 40 grain is running 1300 or so. As the statement on "combat", there was a push in the early 1990s to make the P90 a PDW for NATO REMF, but that went nowhere. The FN FiveSeven had some initial...

    Hunting with a watch?

    I am in the minority here. I hunt with a watch, but I eschew all quartz or electronic watches for a myriad of reasons. I wear strictly mechanical or automatic watches, partly because I cannot wear smart watches at work, and partly for the same reason why Chevelles and Sean Connery are cooler...

    Forward assist or nah?

    yeah, I can see that with a suppressor giving a lot of blow-by into the chamber and receiver. I've never used suppressors professionally, so I can not speak to that experience. Whenever I was on a bird or a plane for a insertion or a jump, I just made it a personal TTP to kept my eject port...

    Forward assist or nah?

    If the bolt is not fully going into battery, there are some other issues at play. I think you nailed it with dirty rifles used in training. If that chamber extension is not clean and carbon fouling builds up from extended blank usage or fam fire usage I could see that being an issue. In hot...

    Trying to choose a new hunting rifle...

    There is a old gun writer who wrote once that the ideal hunting rifle shoots a 300 grain bullet at 2000fps in the woods, and a 150 grain at 3500 in the plains and mountains. It weighs 3 pounds on the back, and 12 pounds in the prone. It sports a 1-24x scope, and generates only 10 lbs of felt...

    Feral Horse Tags

    To me this is no different than a culling feral hogs in the Southwest, or feral cats in New Zealand/Australia. Where I grew up we had huge problems with feral dogs that would hybridize with coyotes. The offspring were aggressive, had little fear of humans, would kill deer, pets, livestock, and...

    Forward assist or nah?

    I can appreciate that stance, and from what I hear they work well for hunting. For my purposes, I don't like the idea of possibly binding the bcg when charging the rifle, or a reciprocating bolt handle smacking my hand/thumb and causing a short stroke. I was not upset when the SCAR did not get...

    Best Commuter Car

    Get a manual 6 Spd C4 or C5 Corvette. I get 33mpg on long trips on the highway, short trips I get 28. Then get yourself a pair of white new balances, a bowler shirt and a copy of Corvette Summer or American Graffiti and you will be ready for summer car shows

    Forward assist or nah?

    I had an interesting thing happen this weekend. I was shooting an AR-type rifle when a jam occurred. I looked at the ejection port and saw the bolt was out of battery about halfway and it looked at a glance like a possible double feed. I attempted to clear it and realized the bolt would not...
