What we do casually call "the Domes" took a beating in our last storm. The observatory is about 8 air miles from us. It has the Cal Fire lookout and our ONLY cell tower that will reach us. Hamilton has always created a rain shadow for us and now I guess it took the brunt of the winds. Our high...
I'm looking for a Ruger American full length .223 take off barrel. I have a Ranch model and want a full length barrel. I figured to swap out a barrel before replacing the rifle.
or are you kidding me? I caught this ad in Alaska magazine selling 150 pennies (1#) for 25 bucks. Get them while you can!! They may become extinct and worthless soon!
Can anyone identify these rings? I don't know where they came from, they've been in my "junk" drawer forever. I'm looking for a set of silver light weight rings to mount a new to me silver Leupold on a stainless Savage 93r17. I have some silver Leupold Rifleman rings but they are to blocky...
Some may not know of the Edmund Fitzgerald but it's 50 years today that it went down on Lake Superior in a gale. Gordon Lightfoot sang a ballad in memory of the sinking in 1976
How do you guys pay for private purchases and sales? I've had it with PayPal. I've been smoked 3 times using PayPal. I've always been able to recover my $$ from them but it's a pain in the ass. Once with @Dave N , PayPal sent the $$ to the wrong guy with the same name but different email. The...
I'm selling my 50th anniversary Cabela's Ruger #1 22-250 with the original box. Rifle is in excellent condition. It has both the stainless offset scope rings and a new uninstalled EGW scope rail. $1950.00 shipped to your FFL in the lower 48. If you aren't a well known member here, don't bother...
A buddy got a freeze drier to do long term storage. I'm wondering how freeze dried meat would be after rehydration? It doesn't seem to me that all the flavor would be there?
I was looking for a rifle. The guy answered me with an email address of a friend that had one for sale. The pm he sent me has it. I contacted the guy. We went back and forth with all the usual pictures and questions. I sent the seller my FFL info that he had asked for. He asked to send it to his...
I got a chance to shoot a buddies M77 .22 LR over the weekend. It's a nice little gun! I'm sorta looking for one if the price is reasonable. I want the Sporter barrel and not the heavy.
This is an interesting read of where we call home. My screen name of "Redmt." Is for Red Mountain which is the actual center of the mining that was briefly mentioned. We are at the base of it. Those of you that have bought and sold with me may have noticed my address as Del Puerto Canyon. People...
Our 4x6 walk-in freezer has never been set up by anyone that actually knows what they are doing. I have had it working pretty much ok for a few years but every now and then it gets a mind of it's own. I would gladly pay a professional to rub on it if I could find someone who would go out this...
One of the guys that puts on the opening deer season party gave me a call the other day. He starts off with do I want some elk meat? HELL YES! It seems that he is overloaded with elk meat. Sounds like a great problem to me. Anyway, he and his son hunted last year and both got a bull, then he...
I'm loading for a buddies .243 Winchester model 100 semi auto. It has a 1:10 twist barrel. I need to use a copper bullet. I was looking through the Barnes load data and it looks like there's a few recipes for the 85,gr that look pretty interesting. The problem is I don't have any of the...
I'm not looking for what your favorite primer is but is there really a difference in quality and function? To start with I'll say that my go to large rifle primer is CCI 200's for no particular reason. I also have a couple thousand Winchester and White River primers. I haven't noticed any...
