Burgum headed for Secretary of Interior
What I've noticed is this: 1.) There are tons of awesome and great conservationists in the mining and O&G industries. 2.) The companies pay for the lobbying & the trade groups that work diligently to erode EPA, ESA standards, remove safeguards, etc. If that weren't the case, then the...- Ben Lamb

Versatile Riflescope Recommendations
Europtic has them in stock, but they're not that price ($750). There's an extra 12% off though. -

BLM moved their HQ to Grand Junction under Trump 1. Biden moved most functions back to DC, but left the office and call it the Western HQ .- Ben Lamb

Best Scope for 6.5 CM
Well then. Suddenly I'm happier I went with the vortex for my new rig. You can get more than 1 rotation if you move to target knobs, correct (on the Leupold)? -
Forest Service Reorg - Progress or Politics
Regional HQ's make a ton of sense and have been how the service has been laid out for a while, and I wouldn't be opposed to having some operations centralized in the west but in the past, that has shown to be an easy way to corrupt an agency. Having State HQ's doesn't always make sense either...- Ben Lamb

Best Scope for 6.5 CM
A Leupold Vx3HD in 4.5x14 would get you 95% of what you want. I would worry about getting better glass instead of magnification. I like the windplex reticle for longer ranges, but for a dedicated hunting rig it's hard to not stick with a duplex reticle and knob for elevation. The Vortex... -
How do you store reloaded ammo
Rifle cartridges are loaded into MTM cases. I have a plethora of 20, 50 and 100 round boxes but prefer the 20 & 50 round ones. Shotgun cartridges are kept in a couple of 20mm ammo cans - each fits about a case of ammo Pistol are stored in mtm boxes for 50-100 rounds each, then stored in 50...- Ben Lamb
