    Do you use a sun shade on your riflescope?

    I currently have a 12" Leupold sun-shade. It's made up of several sun-shades I have but don't use screwed together. If I rounded up all my sun-shades I probably have a dozen or so, but, none of them are actually afixed to a scope that's actually mounted on a rifle. Butler Creek flip-covers...

    Glass Bedding

    Sporter weight and heavy bbl, full-float. Pencil bbls like Kimber Montana or Rem Mt rifle, start out w/full-float. If they wander w/heat then I'll bed the channel too. Couple rounds of electrical tape around the bbl near the fore-end keeps the bbl centered in the channel and can build your...

    No till food plot

    You could run in turnips/radishes on previously unbroken ground, let them do some of the work for you then just a shallow scratch and pack for a few years then do it all over again.

    If you have horses .

    Someone needs to ask the article's author what "Caddle-Smart" means in reference to horses. Or, an editor could actually edit, and then also explain to the reporter the difference between caddle and cattle. "Caddle" means to confuse, annoy, or tease. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that...

    Broken Gun Forearm

    Does it break while he's shooting or when he's opening/closing the action?

    Re-barrel an older Ruger 10/22

    The swap is absolutely as easy as it looks. I don’t have any real advise, not enough experience with the available options. I guess I do have 1 small bit of advise, don’t hog out your original Walnut to fit a target bbl.

    Deer Lottery Deadline

    Congratulations on winning the fundraiser tag! Are you still allowed to also "draw" a tag in the regular lottery? For the record, that wouldn't bother me in the least. Get a fundraiser tag, regular gun, OTC archery, and draw your ML you could shoot 4 bucks AND send a bunch of jealous folks to...

    boat trailer tires

    I bet that truck ate U-Joints pretty regular after that too!

    Good PBZ Reference

    Probably makes more sense to spend the $400 on ammo. Get a PRECISE zero, and then actually do some shooting @ 300+. Somewhere in the mix, one has to have actual experience. You either gain it yourself by actually shooting, or you have someone experienced standing with you talking you through...

    high power binocs

    I remember when Canon launched the image stabilized binocs. Just about had a couple folks fall over, and quite a few got nauseated instantly.

    boat trailer tires

    A boat trailer axle isn't exactly precision eqiupment. It's square tubing with hardened axle's welded onto the end then U-Bolted to rectangle steel/AL tubing. Add tolerance stacking to repeated small bumps and potholes @ ND highway speeds can move and tweak things. Someone mentioned 12K Mi on...

    boat trailer tires

    Buddy hit a deer with his boat trailer. I was 300yds behind and watched it happen. You could see marks on the trailer frame where it moved the axle back ~3-4". We loosened the u-bolts and pounded until we got the bolts back over the original marks. The trailer still dog-tracked quite a bit...

    Fun With a .410

    Not an 870, but, they've mag-fed the 760/6/7600 for decades and recently offered a 7600-esque that feeds 223/5.56. There's plenty of pistol cartridge conversions/magzine's for AR's. There's no real reason that they couldn't chamber bbls to accept a .50 Beowolf and other non-rimmed large-bore...

    Fun With Buckshot

    Regarding buckshot, it is truly better to give than to receive. And, I wish we could still use lead shot for waterfowl and cranes.

    Fun With a .410

    The bbl would be pretty straightforward. They probably weren't interested at all in trying to get it to feed. Probably cheaper to find a 14 or 25 and have it re-bored vs. the 870 bbl swap. Interesting concept though. 870 based 22" 45LC bbl w.mag-tube extension woulda held about 25 rounds if...

    Brush Gun

    Yes. I believe it could turn a "good shot" into a "gut shot" either by changing the flight path and/or by something wonky happening when the bullet finds flesh and traction. A slower and perhaps easier to visualize model. There's a car @ say 60-70MPH spinning like a top completely out of...

    high power binocs

    The Meopta 20-70 Spotters are fantastic. I have 10x42 and 8x32 Meostar binocs that I also believe to be very good. I'd like to see the 15X Meopta along w/Swaro HD's. I had a pre-HD set of 15x56 Swaro that I didn't like as well because the eye-relief didn't allow me to use my glasses. The...
