    Scope mounting question

    Same here. Especially since I can't see standard sights anymore. Back to Cooper: as he aged he preferred a ghost ring peep.

    Scope mounting question

    Jeff Cooper is the guy I was thinking of. My gosh he wrote wrote so many articles and then I forget his name. The Ruger Scout rifle was his concept. He was a rough character. Shot a few Viet Cong with a 44 mag just to check it out. He was more of a model 1911 sort of guy. I think he also...

    Scope mounting question

    I forget the guys name right now, but he sort of got the craze going for what they call a scout rifle. His favorite was a scope set up like this on a bolt action 308. Short, fast, with a low power scope and wide field of view.

    I am afraid that speakers like this make points for the other side. Sort of like Ted Nugent. He says many things I agree with, but for people sitting on the fence he comes off so poorly that they move away from his point. Likewise with this guy. Usually so much cussing is an indication of a...

    Easy Kurtr Phoenix isn't in the north and it was the only town that I remember their location. No big conspiracy.

    Elk Hunters do you know?

    With my diet I think a set of coyote or big cat teeth would be more practical.

    I don't think you need to convert. Two thirds of the planet is water, but if the oceans rise ten feet then it only floods to the ten foot elevation it only floods to the ten foot elevation. The Red River isn't one percent of North Dakota, but if it's ten feet above flood stage it covers a lot...

    Pig barns near Devils lake

    Lucky my uncle who had a pile of pigs lived a mile south east of us. Downwind more would have been bad. Lunk can they process out nitrogen? My wife and I spent some time one winter in Texas. We spent a couple of days on River Walk in San Antonio. They bragged about their recycled water...

    He is right, but he would have been more effective if he spoke more professionally. In this setting I am afraid that because of his profanity few will take him serious. That's a shame he was evidently an intelligent man. One problem with his talk is that ten feet would not take out the...

    Pig barns near Devils lake

    I have caught some hogs in that area. :) In a few years we should not hear any crying when the gov shuts them down. They may get started, but I doubt they will last when the EPA starts taking water samples at the inflow in Devils Lake. I seen this happen with a Turkey farm down by Wahpeton...

    Pig barns near Devils lake

    I had heard that the soil caved into the canal and the first year with no current in the canal there was 12 million in repairs. I don't get why they used 1940s technology. Pipeline it and keep it out of the Sheyenne river if your going to have Missouri river water in Devils Lake. Years ago...

    Lunker I think the Garrison Diversion that was part of this plan was stopped because it violated a water treaty with Canada. Canada worried about the bio transfer from the Gulf of Mexico watershed getting into their water. That would be equivalent to small pox when it hit the native Americans...

    Great shooting

    Tiny amount of wind on a 22 will move it all over. That said I think my Volquartsen would do it given that many shots. She was so impressed with herself we don't need to be. Kurt is right it was a lot better on mute. Now I know one thing I will have to try next summer. I'll bet a half dozen...

    Pig barns near Devils lake

    From the money worshipers. As I understand our constitution freedom only extends until it hurts someone else. For me that even includes wetland drainage. Every drained wetland should have a flow meter on it so when flooding occurs the culprits can pay their share of the damages rather than...

    Just a funny story (wild animal encounter)

    I'll tell you another one about coons, but I will not tell you who it happened to since I am sure some of you know him. Back in the day when outhouses were the thing this guy got one the size of a icehouse. Not wanting to dig a hole under the whole thing he dug the hole under the back half...

    Just a funny story (wild animal encounter)

    Back in the late 1950s I had two pet coins, Ringo and Ranger. I was not real popular with my dad's cousin who was out rural mailman, well not for a week or two anyway. I seen him coming one morning and I stuffed Ranger into the mailbox. She was so big she just fit in our oversized mailbox...

    6.5 Creedmoor loads?

    I did try some Hunter. Sperformance runs my 123 A Max at 3050, but once I burn up 500 rounds I will go to nothing but 143 ELD-X. I'll save my 800 VLD 140s for my 6.5x284 and my Creed with the Criterion barrel. I am settling down with powders and have about 60 pounds of one pound cans that I...

    6.5 Creedmoor loads?

    I bought a pound each of the three IMR Endurons. So far I have only tried them in 308 and 300WSM. How are they doing well, in accuracy or velocity, or both. Never tried it in the 6.5, but you pique my interest.
