Not sure if they found any violations, but it sure looked like the Officers were going through the whole routine with these people. Maybe their attitude warranted a thorough check but I would not want to be standing on the side of a highway having all of my truck contents scattered about.
We were heading up 285 from Santa Fe, NM several years ago. About 15 miles South of Chama (our destination), there was a roadblock with several trucks pulled over. The truck's occupants (obviously hunters) were all standing around while ALL of their contents of the trucks were on the side of the...
Rich M, when you shoot a "springer" air rifle, the recoil impulse is different than a normal rifle (firearm). It recoils forward and backward (due to the piston bottoming out in the compression chamber). This requires a different technique when shooting it. Instead of holding it tightly and...
Raptor Hustler. Most folks in my neighborhood use them, and recommended it to me. It's 5 years old, and I'm very happy with it. Only had to replace the battery last year. I had the choice of a Kawasaki engine, or a Kohler. I chose the Kawasaki. I use synthetic oil in the engine, change it once a...
Quite a different optic, but I have an Eotech on my patrol rifle, and due to my astigmatism I have to turn the brightness of the dot down to where it is fairly dim. That gives me a much finer dot and a more precise aiming point. If it's bright daylight and I am shooting at targets closer than 50...
I am hesitant to buy anything like that on Ebay these days. I know everything is made in China, but if you buy from a reputable dealer (Lowes, Home Depot, etc), at least you can hope it is first generation Chinese, and return it if you have a problem. If you buy it on Ebay, there is a good...
I guess what he is saying, if you have a .338 Lapua but no access to a rangefinder, up your rifle to a .45-70. That will take the trajectory arc out of the equation, and just aim "dead on". Makes sense to me......NOT!!!!!
I used to use the Salomon 4d 3 gtx for work, but after they changed the style several years ago, I migrated away from them. I bought a pair of Kenetrek Corrie boots and found them equal or better than the Salomons in every way, comfort, fit, durability, and water proofness. I bought a second...
In my 70 years, I have had 4, and used all of the preps over those times. Drinking the gallon of Colyte prep the first time. Then the Fleet enemas for the second along with bisacodyl tabs, third time was Citrate of magnesia with bisacodyl tabs. This last time, I used a new prep process called...
I believe they ship their rings with a light coat of oil to prevent rusting, and they (Talley) do recommend using Loctite on the base (receiver) screws. If you use Loctite, it helps with the torque of the screws instead of screwing dry screws into the receiver.
Honestly, this is the first time I have ever heard of oiling ring screws. I usually wipe the top of the screws with a rust preventative as routine maintenance, but never thought of putting oil on the threads themselves.
