    Kitchen Countertops

    I don't think it's the quartz that is the problem. Solid quartz is very valuable in large pieces . As I understand all quartz counteracts are smaller pieces held together with a clear industrial epoxy. If your wife is a person that doesn't change her mind every year or two go with granite. If...

    Signs on Villard St, Dickinson

    I got a kick out of the business in the background behind the "civilized lives matter" sign. FERGUSON PLUMBING.

    ND tied 31st in gun/resident

    H82bogey I know one old fellow who passed away and when they had his auction he had 70 guns all bought before 1968. An old native American that was our neighbor had at least a dozen guns that were pre 1900. Mostly octagon barrel lever actions. One time they caught him selling deer and the...

    Scope on muzzleloaders

    Someone above talked about age and hard to see his sites. I have the same problem so went with a 1x on line. A peep with a small aperature works also, much like a higher f stop on a camera lense. Unfortunately like a camera lense it cuts a lot of light. I have been looking for a flintlock...

    Question for the Lawn Experts

    Looks like shallow black soil over poor clay to me. Fertilizer as some mentioned would certainly help since it's nutrients the poor soil is missing. I have a spot something like that, but it's caused by acid from not cleaning up crab apples. I leave them because the deer like them. Also...

    Alaska

    I can't get the pic large enough to see the base, but it looks like the Marlin 450 magnum. That or the old 45/70 loaded to Marlin acceptable pressures is hard to beat in close quarters. I forget the guys name that converts these to 50 Alaskan. I have a single shot falling block highwall, and...

    Alaska

    It's interesting that the new Peterson's hunting just got here two days ago with an article on the top ten practical cartridges for North America. It's interesting that he rules out the very popular 308 Winchester. Although he admits it's a great cartridge there are cartridges that can do a...

    Alaska

    I was thinking about the same things as 2400. I read a few years ago that the number one rifle carried by guides is a 338 Win Mag. You don't need that for deer, but while your hunting deer something may try put you on the menu. Make it stainless for Alaska.

    Leica 1600-B problems

    I like some Nikon things, but I have had three Nikon rangefinders and they do about 60% of what they advertise. On the 3215 yd range no I was hand holding it. Sitting in my vehicle with the window down shooting across part of the Pipestem reservoir at a friends farm house. Both the Swarovski...

    Leica 1600-B problems

    There are better rangefinders, but I am just comparing dollar to dollar value. So far I have ranged buildings to 3215, and I don't know if I was ranging a deer, or the trees around the deer, but I ranged 2243 yd. Either way I got the yardage and it's way beyond shooting at unless a person has...

    Leica 1600-B problems

    I have had a couple of Leica and no problems. Then I went to a Swarovski, and had a medium priced Nikon for a backup. When the Sig Sauer came out I dumped the Nikon and bought it for backup. It's hard to decide which will be my primary. The Swarovski optics are much better, but it doesn't...

    Owning multiple vehicles

    We had the same problem. In 2012 we bought a new Chev Diesel pickup, and a new Buick LaCross. We would like a fun 4X4, but didn't know if we could justify it. The pickup gets about 20K a year and the car about 18k a year. We thought about a Jeep, but I told my wife a Toyota FJ Cruiser with...

    tent stove

    I had a Riley in my 12X17 wall tent. I think a good size fire needs a five or six inch chimney. Maybe a three inch will do it, but if you burn pine in the mountains you will need to check the spark arrester nearly every day. If you camp right at your truck there was a nice cast iron stove...

    $50 at Cabelas

    I think there are some guys in turbans looking for old vests like that. They don't need to float.

    Glacier National Park

    Ditto. I think most of the lodges are closed after school starts. I have been there just after school started and I was nearly alone on the Sun road. Only a couple cars in the Logan pass parking lot.

    I don't think he is driving as many nails as the media wants us to think. Chin up.

    From my gunsmith

    I should have read that other post a little closer. A couple of nights ago I heard lying Hillary say she didn't want to take our guns away. She may not be able to yet, but there is no doubt she would like to. Even if she doesn't win I am sick that someone like her can even run for office.

    Burris Eliminator legal in ND?

    My nephew shoots the Burris on a Remote 300 ultra and has never complained about it. Kurt those Creedmoor are magic. Mine spotted a buck sniffing a doe at 758 yd and killed him. You have to keep the scope covers on them or they will kill anything that moves within 1200 yd. :;:muahaha R e...
