    WTB Tikka t1x 22lr

    A suppressor adds 4-6". Making a 24-26" barrel. It gets hung up more moving through the thick stuff. It's not any more accurate than the 16". Both balance well.

    Best gun smith for Marlin 45-70

    What did the gunsmiths do to the gun? What ammo are you using? Are you fully cycling the lever? Hard and fast, or slow and easy? Mine doesn't cycle great unless you really slam it open and closed fast.

    Picking up hitchhikers

    Saw a guy today carrying two chainsaws... but didn't look like he was the kind of guy thay would be using them, just selling them if you know what I mean. I was picked up once by a guy in a convertible BMW. Me and a buddy were grouse hunting with my dog and got on a closed forest service road...

    Amazon Prime?

    "the Meat Co-Op"

    I've helped pack out a deer that I knew I wouldn't get any of. And wouldn't expect it. But on the flip side I knew those guys would be there if I needed help. If I went out west with buddies all the guys I would go with/take would be under the same understanding that ALL the meat from the trip...
