    Freeze Dryer Recipes- Homemade Backcountry Meals

    The wife and I bought a freeze dryer last year and what I was scared of has happened. I spent $1800 used it for 3 months and then pretty much forgot about it. Well it is time to dust it back off and start making some more meals. Unfortunately there is a pretty good learning curve to this freeze...

    Ruger 77 Tang Safety - action screws torque setting?

    I agree 100% less likely to strip the bolt as well. I absolutely detest ANY slotted screw/bolt.

    Gas/Fuel Price and hunting plans

    I have not done an in depth quote but from what i have been told im looking at about 20k. I have an ton of south facing windows. It's great in the winter because it warms up the house but the summer can get brutal.

    Ruger 77 Tang Safety - action screws torque setting?

    Going to give this a try. Gave my dad's gun a good clean and tear down when he asked me to get it threaded. Prior to the tear down I had made a load for it and it was shooting about 1.25 to 1.5 MOA. I was plenty happy with that out of this old gun. However when I reassembled I couldn't get good...

    Gas/Fuel Price and hunting plans

    Mine was built in 98. I do need to get better windows and replace some weather stripping. Speaking of price anybody replaced windows lately?

    Gas/Fuel Price and hunting plans

    This last year wasnt too bad for us. The warm weather helped. I think i just paid $400 ish to top off the tank. Do they have a leak somewhere? My home is about 2400 sq ft and we usually use about 300 to 400 gallons a year. Back to the OG thread. Prices have definitely affected my drive 2 hours...

    Threading and chopping a barrel?

    The 6.5s are separate rifles. The 308 came with an 18". Granted I probably only have about 180 rounds through it but it is consistently 300 fps slower than book speeds. Same thing with the 20" 6.5 only have about 120 rounds through it so there is still time for it to speed up.

    That's fine. Just relaying the personal data I have accumulated

    Threading and chopping a barrel?

    From my experience I was losing about 50 fps per inch of barrel. This was with a 20" in 6.5 CM compared to a 22" 6.5 CM. With all of my .308 win ladder tests and load development with an 18" barrel I was also seeing 50 fps per inch compared to book speeds. I will probably not go shorter than...

    What trucks do you regret selling?

    This is the exact truck I want. I had a 17 in a 1500 and loved that truck. I would love a 2500 with the standard bed.
