    Rifle Scopes LPVO Comparison: March Shorty 1-10x vs Kahles K18i-2 1-8x

    Regarding LPVO's, I have a few. I cannot comment on the March as I have no experience with it. I do have a Kahles K16i, 1-6x LPVO. The clarity of the glass is superb. Mine is on a Safari rifle that I am taking to Africa this year and while testing the capability of the system at the range...

    Win52B with Balvar 24

    You already seem to know more than 90% of the owners. The round adjustment system for both vertical and horizontal windage/elevation adjustment is rather limited in its travel but does enable very fine adjustments. The grease in them tends to dry over several decades so, if yours does not move...

    Win52B with Balvar 24

    DFOOSKING - Great find brother! The Balvar is not a turd. It is a relic from days gone by and a very fine optic. I have two of them. One is mounted on one of my fine Winchester 52's. I often compete in 22 BR matches using a 52 wearing either a 20x Unertl or the 6-24x Balvar. When I first...

    Maggie’s Good Ole USPS

    USPS is incompetent and inefficient on a good day and malicious on a bad one. When shipping anything meaningful, I avoid them like the plague. Their pkg tracking system seems to have been designed as a means to create more socialist gov't jobs while appearing to provide similar features to...

    E. R. Shaw Rifles

    I have an older E.R. Shaw custom P14 Enfield in 375HH. It is a lovely walnut and blued steel Safari Rifle. I am the 2nd owner when the first passed on and his estate sold it at auction. It is every bit as nice as a best quality Rigby. Shaw modified the Enfield action to cock on open instead...

    10 Dead in NOLA attack

    Might want to add to that EDC a ziploc bag filled with sausage balls, ham, bacon bits, etc to stuff into the mouth of Abdul, Mohammed, Yomomma's mouth as they are fading out. Just sayin. If you really want deterrent, might as well deprive them of their 72 virgins in Paradise and send them to...

    10 Dead in NOLA attack

    I read that after my last post. It is interesting info. However, with the holidays, New Years, looming, I am no genius, but it would have seemed prudent to have at least placed a few of the large concrete barriers at both ends of Bourbon for a few days. Yeah it is a PITA but cleaning up all...

    10 Dead in NOLA attack

    The bollards are similar to those found at the entrance to Nuclear power plants, refineries and gov't installations. They retract into the ground and are raised using hydraulics or pneumatics to a height of about 4ft. That are tough enough to stop a large truck. As I recall, there were four...

    10 Dead in NOLA attack

    As a follow up to my first post - I have been expecting some form of disruptive, coordinated action coming out of the Leftist, Antifa, Anarchist wing of the Socialist Democrat Party minions following Trumps win in the election. Yet, it has been strangely quiet to the point of making me wonder...

    10 Dead in NOLA attack

    A NOLA shit show, IMO. I was on Bourbon Street this time last year. Three days prior to New Year's Eve, the Police routinely deployed the massive steel bollards every evening about dark on both ends of Bourbon St in the Quarter to prevent ALL vehicular traffic. It was foot traffic only. They...

    Drones over New Jersey?

    I find it incredible that both State and Federal officials are playing see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil with regards to these drone attacks. Thats right! I cannot know for sure but in my opinion, these are either recon drones from foreign actors or a brazen attempt by enemies from...

    Hunting Etiquette

    I stopped deer hunting on public land because of this sort of shit. Too many hunters lacking any concept of courtesy or hunter safety practices. In my home state, if you hang a tree stand or erect a blind on public hunting lands, you must attach a card with the name address and phone number of...

    Fierce Firearms - CT Edge Report

    Finally get to see a post from your Dead-Ass, lol. We missed you all this week. Clark and I both had a chance at the buck of a life-time but blew it. Let's organize a squirrel hunt before too long and get together.

    Fierce Firearms - CT Edge Report

    As I get some additional experience with these, and test more loads, I will report further on them. Taking one of them hunting again in a few days.

    Why Not Aluminum For Bolt Action Receivers?

    Aluminum can be designed to work in a bolt rifle but it would have to be physically larger to have the same strength. Aluminum also has a different rate of expansion as it get hot which is why aluminum scope rings on steel receivers sometimes work loose over time with heat cycles and vibration...
