    Rifle Scopes what's your zero?

    Mine are zeroed for 100, but when I'm hunting, I automatically dial to a 250 yard zero. That way there's no need for adjustment on close in shots to about about 300 or a bit further depending on cartridge..... those shots that tend to happen quickly, but I can still slow down and dial my dope...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What sidearm do y'all carry?

    I carry a G23 with TLR-1 and a spare G22 mag off duty. On duty, I carry the G22 with TLR-1 and anywhere from 1-4 spare mags depending on attire and duties of the day. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Knife carry, sharpening and general observations

    Great post. Again, I'm still fairly young, but I'm old enough to remember when a male wearing makeup or carrying a purse would get his tail kicked behind the gym. The times sure are changing, and not for the better if you ask me. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    What age to start shooting?

    I started with a BB gun at 2 or 3 probably, not sure, shooting has been part of my life as long as I can remember, but a family member who kept me while mom and dad were at work got me started shooting, and she stopped keeping me before I went off to kindergarten..... so had to be around 3 or...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Knife carry, sharpening and general observations

    I carried a knife to school every day, and it wasn't a little swiss army knife either, it was a working knife. Most of the teachers knew and a few asked to borrow it a time or two. I'm young enough that it was not allowed, nor were guns, but old enough that the staff in my little small town...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Knife carry, sharpening and general observations

    Hmmm, never thought about a handkerchief, Pops carried one right up until he died, I think Mom put one in his pants pocket when she folded his britches. As far as people not carrying knives, the best I can figure, it's a combination of "Well, I never got into the habit since they weren't...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Knife carry, sharpening and general observations

    As I just finished stropping the edge puff my EDC Benchmade, I got to thinking about the skill of sharpening a blade, the myriad of tools made for sharpening and the current trend of manufacturers offering free sharpening for life. It occurs to me that I guess many don't know how to sharpen a...

    First US Muslim Judge found dead in Hudson River

    My thoughts as well regarding some convict getting even with her. That is the most likely scenario in my mind. On the other hand, who is to say that a more traditional Muslim didn't kill her out of religious fanaticism? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    Regular Smokers

    I never smoked other than one drag when I was about 14, hated it, never tried again. Now, dipping snuff, that was a whole other thing. I had a can or more a day habit for quite a while. I tried patches with no luck, then the lozenges.... which was just like dipping except no spitting and...

    Gunsmithing My rifle needs Jenny Craig

    Best thing I ever did for my 308 was lop off 6" of the barrel. Actually improved accuracy, probably from the new crown, cut the weight down quite a bit and helped with balance... Of course, I promptly screwed that up by adding a 24oz can to the muzzle, but that's not really relevant to this...

    Can a magazine (AICS Pattern) influence POI or Accuracy?

    Consider this possibility, not saying it is true, but I think plausible: Loose tolerances between bolt body and bore of action allows a slight wiggle under recoil of just a few thousands. Add a magazine with rounds loaded, top round is going to press against the bottom of the bolt. Different...

    Rifle carrying backpack

    Agreed 100%. My only other complaint is that the organizational lid could be a tiny bit bigger IMO. That's where I pot most of my gear, rangefinder, binos, note pad, IFAK, etc. It gets a bit crowded. I need to invest in some extra molle pouches for my can, LRF, etc so I can reduce the load on...

    30 year vet Constable killed here in Baytown Texas

    Sad, but that's Harris County for ya. I suspect the killer will be found, and of he was paid to do it, that will come out as well. They will both receive the death penalty if convicted. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    Civilian Comms - School up a Newbie

    I have a similar issue being my hunting land is in an area where cell service is spotty at best. I still haven't figured it out. On one hand, I could go the HAM route, which would inevitably become another expensive hobby, since you need to use it to maintain proficiency. Add to that the fact...

    300 BO vs. 762x39

    I went with the blackout because I like to run suppressed, and the blackout is purpose built to run in a suppressed sbr. It loses very little due to short barrels, which makes it convenient for suppressing. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    Model 70 Builds?

    My main hunting rig is built on a push feed M70 action. I got there totally backwards from the normal direction, but I still love it. I purchased a box of stocks at an estate sale. Most were for Remington, one Ruger, and this Winchester takeoff from a heavy barrel tactical rifle. I tried to...

    New combat helmet

    I certainly won't argue with those far more experienced than me at dodging bullets. I'm not military, so I have no experience in that realm. That said, I do have experience in wearing helmets and full face masks in a life/death situation. My mask actually seals to my face and provides me...

    New combat helmet

    That lense looks to wrap pretty far around, even perfect peripheral vision is only 180 degrees. As far as the hearing goes, seems to me that a little ear pro, combined with some radio comms would be a good thing. NFL quarterbacks (maybe even college and some high schools, idk) have radio comms...
