I am a Generation Y'er, and i don't know if I find the post funny or sad. Mainly because it is largely true.

they did not elect the president. moderates and independents who were worried about social issues did is this thing on? Spot on. If the social issues were left to the states, as they should be, and weren't a factor in national elections, the fiscally conservative candidate would win the majority of...

I don't particularly care for the EBR's for the most part, but I bought one. There are certain situations where they are the best choice. There's a reason the military uses those and not leverguns or bolt actions anymore. For pure enjoyment I'd rather have a Springfield M1-A, but for economical reas...

Actually, now that the election has already passed, I wish half the country would have stayed home and not voted. In all seriousness, I think there should be restrictions placed on voting to keep all the mooches from voting themselves more handouts. I think it should be something like you have to ow...

Oh come on guys. Do you really think you'll actually get to use "the after we lost the second election to a communist moslim anti-American" gun for a TEOTWAWKI senario? You know darn well when the time comes the feds will storm troop your abode and kill your butt dead before you can do mu...

Already bought an AR-15 about a month ago in anticipation of the outcome that occurred. I have brass, primers and powder, just need to get a few thousand bullets and I'm good to go.

shooter

Just did that on my Marlin 45-70. I love it. Like Mescalero said, it's awesome to easily shoot with both eyes open while looking through the scope. Much quicker target acquisition.

I love the Hill Country. I always enjoy when you post your photos. Sure do miss living down there......maybe I will again one of these days.

shooter

You can buy pretty inexpensive coat/hat hooks at any hardware or home decorating store. Get some that look rustic. Some have screw holes that are partially or completely hidden, but if you pick the right ones your gun will probably cover the holes. Or if you're scared of putting holes in the wall an...

Love those sixguns, especially the shorter .44 mag. I have one like that in .45 Colt except it isn't a Bisley. That might change one of these days. I just haven't had the nerve to pony up and pay more than 1/2 the price of a new gun for the grip frame, trigger and hammer required for the conversion....

shooter

I love Old West history, as well as the myth and legend aspect. You know, the stuff that isn't quite provable, but is interesting as heck to speculate about. Stuff like hidden treasure, outlaw hangouts, etc. A good friend of mine in New Mexico has a couple acres on the Pecos river. His land was once...

shooter

FWIW I find I can shoot the Ruger Mk-2's WAY BETTER than I can the Single-Sixes. Dunno if it's the ergonomics or what. Some (who unlike me, are good-enough shots to tell the difference) tell me that a .22-LR-only gun will be more accurate than a 'combination' WMR one, because the bore is different....

Everyone in my family has a Vitamix, and they are absolutely awesome. Probably the best blender out there. They can boil water, make hot soup, grind grain into flour, and completely juice whole fruits. Like I said, everyone in my family has one...except me. I couldn't see spending $400+ on a blender...

shooter

Just curious, why all the carbines instead of rifles? This is just my personal preference, but I almost always prefer shorter/lighter. In fact, I usually prefer as short and light as I can get without sacrificing too much performance. My longest barrel on any of my rifles is 20". The only barr...

It would be so tempting to get out the bow instead of the video camera in that situation.

That's a nice looking bear.

shooter

I hunt almost exclusively with one rifle every deer season. It's usually a different one every season, but I usually pick one and pretty much stick to it, with another brought along for backup in case my primary rifle fails, gets dropped, etc, which hasn't happened yet. Last year it was a Remington ...

shooter

Thanks for the info, it's exactly what I was looking for. Now as soon as I hear back from Palmetto regarding an email I sent, I think I'm gonna get one.

shooter

I haven't tried Trailboss yet, but have loaded some 45-70's with Unique for a soft shooting load and have been pretty pleased. I didn't use a filler and got pretty decent groups. I'd have to look up the exact load I used, but I believe they were going around 1000 fps or so, and I was shooting at 100...

Been shopping around for an upper receiver to complete my AR 15 "build" and stumbled on Palmetto State Armory. They seem to have most of the sought after aspects on their uppers - chrome lined barrel, 5.56 chrome lined chamber, full auto bolt carrier group, 1:7 twist, etc., but their price...

I'm chiming in a little late, but I agree, percolated coffee is darn good. I very seldom drink coffee, but when I do I'm very particular. I drink coffee occasionally when hunting or camping, and it's always percolated. I should just get a percolator for the stove, too.

shooter

Sorry I left out that detail. It's a .308. I'll have to see the gun, but from looking at pictures, it looks as though the newer models might have a more rounded top of the receiver and the older ones are flat.

shooter

He hit this bad guy 5 out of 5 times at around 50 yards, and the NYPD hits 9 innocent bystanders instead of their intended target. This guy seems like a class act, and we need more like him. Seems like some police departments need more like him, too. Maybe he can be a firearms instructor for the NYPD.

shooter

My buddy just got a BLR gifted to him for graduating tech school in the Air Force. I have zero experience with them, but was asked to help outfit it with a scope and help him get it sighted in. This is his only rifle, so he knows next to nothing about the gun and I haven't seen it yet. In looking at...

If you haven't already read his book titled "Hell, I Was There!". I really enjoyed that one as well. I was thinking about one or the other this Christmas for myself - which of those two books would you guys recommend, for those who've read both...? Depends on what you want to accomplish. ...

shooter

If she's a novice, give her the shotgun to start out with. She won't even notice recoil if she has to use it on intruders. TRAIN HER ASAP to get her used to using it. As suggested, she can train with light target loads of some sort. I stay away from recommending semi auto pistols to novice shooters....

shooter

...I've never really considered a .410 to be a great survival caliber, but I might have to rethink that after OI's points. The only thing that holds me back on it is the limited range. ... What's the practical range of a .22 without a fancy scope? 75-100 yds? There is your .410. I'll be the first t...

shooter

I've been wanting to try my hand at making one of those. The Mag Lite idea is just cool. Everything you need in a sturdy waterproof container. I think I may have an old Mag Lite laying around somewhere......

shooter

I really can't think of a single caliber that does everything as well as a .22LR in an "overall" survival situation. It doesn't do some things nearly as well as other calibers, especially getting up to big game size, or maybe bird hunting. It doesn't really excel in any specific category, ...

Prayers sent. I also understand her wanting to go home. I'm sure she is in much more pain than I was after my surgery, but after 2 stays in the hospital last week, I'd much rather be miserable in my own bed than in the hospital. Hope she gets her wish soon.

shooter

]Anyway, I'm going to pass on the .30-.30 and see what we can come up with in probably 7mm-08 ('cause I kinda want to fiddle with it, too ;-) ). Truth be told, that's one of the reasons I went with the 7mm-08 over the .243 :oops: It really is her gun, but I thought it would be a neat caliber to loa...

shooter

Hobie is correct on the Savage. That's what I got my wife, a Savage Axis youth model in 7mm-08, and it was about $350 out the door, with a decent scope already on it. It shoots every load I've tried in it at well under an inch at 100 yards. I disagree about the felt recoil, and so does my wife. I fe...

shooter

The cartridge is fine, it's all about how comfortable she is with it and the gun. My wife can't shoot the 30-30. The gun is too big for her and she doesn't like the recoil. She does fine with my .243 or her 7mm-08 because she is confident in her abilities and isn't scared of the recoil. It doesn't m...

shooter

I'd take the one on the right. I love symmetry. The non-typical is great also, but isn't as appealing to me. The only way i'd take it is if I already had a comparable mount to the one on the right.

I've had a rough spell these last couple years. A couple deaths in the family, a couple bouts of unemployment, this injury that's had me off work for the last 6 months, and now the surgery that will take at least 2 months to recover from. Plus I'm not sure that I will have a position to go back to w...

Last time I checked here in the Dallas area they were running anywhere from $30-$40 depending on brand and type. The Winchesters and Federals, which I use the most of, were $32-$35. I think CCI's were in the same range. If you can find them anywhere in that range it just doesn't pay to order off of ...

I don't have any experience with the migraines, but my philosophy is always to treat the cause if possible, and not just the symptoms. That is, unless you aren't worried about the cause. I guess if there's no pain and the doc says don't worry too much, I might not worry too much.

shooter

Awesome! It's looking like you're going to turn out two fine outdoorsmen. Makes me proud to see there are still dads out there teaching their kids useful things.

shooter

I never did enjoy watching Bruce Dern after seeing him in the Cowboys. He is always a villain to me, lol. Like has been said before, every western needs a villain, and Bruce Dern played a good one.

Hey Shooter, scary stuff indeed. And I would feel a bit scared from the numbness too but I think they are right and its from inflammation of the tissues. Give it some time and it will get better. -Tutt P.S. I worked as a massage therapist in a chiro office for 10 years if that helps. Reinvented mys...

Also check out the Alamo and the Buckhorn Saloon if you have time while you're close to San Antonio. Well worth the visit.

Dove hunting is a blast when the birds are flying. If I'm not going to get to shoot I'd much rather be deer hunting, though. I usually miss way more than I hit when bird hunting, but it's still a blast (no pun intended..well, maybe a little). Unfortunately I'll miss out on the first dove season here...

Shooter, keep us in your loop, bro. I go in for X-rays next week to see how my double lumbar fusion is progressing ... Good luck with that Bill. I'm so thankful I didn't have to have a fusion. I had a discectomy on my L4/L5 on Tuesday, and I think they did a partial laminectomy on Friday to relieve...

After my post the other day, I developed tremendous pain in my leg to the point I could hardly get around with a walker. After a call in to the surgeon, he recommended an MRI to take a second look. After my MRI last night I was whisked away to emergency surgery to clean up an epidural hematoma that ...

My favorite western as a kid. I still enjoy it a lot and watch it once in a while. I might have to dig it out while I'm sitting around waiting for this back to heal up.

shooter

Probably my favorite western, definitely in the top 3. Most of the sequels and prequels aren't that great, but they are watchable, The latest movie in the series, the title escapes me, is pretty decent.

shooter

Thanks for the good wishes. The doc has me on hydrocodone and flexeril. I'm taking it extremely easy because i was warned by a friend who had the same surgery of the constipation issue. He ended up with more pain from straining too hard. Plus I don't like drugs, especially the addictive kind. I have...

Still hurting a bit. Trying to take as little pain meds as possible. Just resting up and trying to get better. It will be a long road, but hopefully things will be better than before I went in.

Space exploration is very interesting, and there are a lot of cool things in space, but IMO, NASA is the biggest waste of money our gov't is involved in. If private companies want to fund space exploration, I'm all for it, but we have much more pressing issues on this planet. We shouldn't be spendin...
