    Scope ?/preference

    Everywhere I currently hunt is wide open and ~40MM will get a person certainly to legal shooting light so I use ~40mm for the lower scope mount and better cheek-weld.

    Deer Rifle Sight In Issues: I feel like an absolute dunce

    Pull the bolt out and see if you can feel the end of the screw sticking through the rear bridge. Did you try spinning the actual base? Pull the scope off and give it a counter-clockwise rap with a smallish nylon or brass hammer. The screw is either broken or stripped obviously, not sure what...

    Deer Rifle Sight In Issues: I feel like an absolute dunce

    The base is vibrating something awful without 2 fasteners. VX-1 has analog rather than digital adjustments. Likely there's nothing wrong with the scope unless you vibrated it to death. Was it the front or rear base-screw that broke off? If it was the rear, the fastest fix would be to nab a...

    Brought my new girl home

    If I recall correctly, the couple of guys I knew that shot Garands in Service Rifle Class used 4895 and/or 4064 for accuracy as well as proper function.

    Chevy 2.7 turbo

    I don't like the idea of turbos on short-trip daily drivers. Not as big of deal on a "road-car/truck" to me. The "death-blow" for them is: 1. Not letting the bearings/shafts come up to temp before putting them under high demand. 2. Shutting down the engine while the bearings/shafts are...

    LEWT Tournament Winners BUSTED!

    "No your honor, we didn't put that in the fish we caught. They must've broken lines from other fishermen previously." Or, from the defense attorney to the prosecution: "Do you have eye witness/photo/video evidence of the accused adding anything foreign into the fish they caught?" The above...

    LEWT Tournament Winners BUSTED!

    Sponsors, tournament owners/directors, local chambers of commerce/tourism, guides, bait-shops, etc, etc, etc all LOVE big basket weights. I wonder if sponsors have any recourse other than no further sponsorship when someone taints a sponsor's image? I also wonder what sort of forensic IRS...

    Aluminum Trailers

    I bought my wood-deck 14' tandem 3-place snowmobile trailer 20yrs ago. I've replaced the lights w/LED's and that's it. It's been from ND to New Mexico and Northern Alberta and back. It sits outside 100% of the time. I've gotten soft spots in the floor over the last yr or so. At some point...

    Your 1st guns?

    Remington 30-30 or Winchester 30-30 w/Remington ammo? A Remington in 30-30 would've most likely been a 14A pump action or a 788 Bolt action. In regards to the original question: The 1st Rifle, a Colt Stagecoach semi-auto 22lr. 1st Shotgun, H&R "Snake-Charmer" .410 because that's the only...

    Dog Vests

    For the folks who hunt in Deer Tick/Lyme Disease country, treat the dog vest w/Permethrin and you'll have far fewer ticks that even try to attach, the difference is astounding.

    Left eye dominant shooting

    Funny part of this to me is that likely if it were the other way around, kid was left handed and right-eye dominant this wouldn’t even be a question, the kid would be shooting right handed in a heartbeat.

    Left eye dominant shooting

    The triangle thing is a stupid way to test eye dominance. Stand back ~10' and tell kiddo to point @ your nose, then have kiddo use the other hand to do the same. The pointing finger will line up between you and the dominant eye.

    Left eye dominant shooting

    Don't remove 50% of someone's vision in a hand/eye coordination dominated activity.
