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...

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...
Does anyone have any first hand experience with deep well submersible solar pumps? The one we have been using for the last 3 years has been down more than it has been pumping. We're pumping from 260' + another 60' to gravity back tank. Well depth is 280'. Static at about 180'.
Yesterday was A Zone deer season opener. I've been waiting anxiously to hunt with the absolutely most beautiful rifle I've ever had that @p_ham built for me. I went out on my morning hunt as planned with my Ruger#1 Stainless steel Laminate stock 6.5 CM. I've worked up a load I'm very happy with...
I have a broken slide on a buddies rifle and parts are unobtainium. It an easy weld and the filler rod recommended is a 3-1/2% nickel rod. Does anyone know what the actual rod is? I'd like to pick some up at our local welding supply.
I made a return call to a company dealing with a little problem. The person answering the phone gave me "I'll ask him to circle back and reach out to revisit the conversation".
WTF? What's wrong with "I'll ask him to call you back "?
Does anyone have experience with the Winchester model 100 extractor problems. I understand that it's a common issue with them. I'm going to look into getting an upgraded extractor kit. Are there any recommendations?
