    Moving Trends for 2025

    North Carolina has confusing and shit gun laws (but getting better). SC has a far better political structure, Governor checks and balances. Less regulatory friction, weaker executive power, more permissive carry laws, and more consistent, restrained courts. Nicer people. Better climate.

    A little humour for your day

    Here's a little gift. The In-N-Out burger logo is fuil on male junk and plays on the sexual connotation of In-N-Out by passing through the words.

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    Walking our local sea islands near Edisto SC, I came across several piles of these, each scattered within a few square yards of each other. I know what they are and how they formed. Each is cone-shaped and extremely dense. Any guesses? :)

    Tikka shooters- Mount the scope to the factory dovetail, or add a picatinny rail?

    It's their current recommendation, 55 inch pounds. Not sure if they will make any future changes. It's working so far for a bunch of us.

    Tikka shooters- Mount the scope to the factory dovetail, or add a picatinny rail?

    Torque to UM new torque spec of 55 IP and done. Nothing to do with the design or limitation of UM rings, only torque setting. Sportsmatch are slipping at 38 on some calibers. For the Tikka dovetail, you need enough (more) torque to prevent slipping. UM hardware is strong enough for that torque.

    Tikka shooters- Mount the scope to the factory dovetail, or add a picatinny rail?

    I've carried mine a good bit. Didn't notice rings or turrets in the field. Like the new caps.

    Tikka shooters- Mount the scope to the factory dovetail, or add a picatinny rail?

    This. Unknown Munitions mounts work great on the dovetail. Other quality rings (Sportsmatch) well also. Hundreds of examples on Rokslide of real experience doing this. The built-in dovetail will always be least likely to fail. If you need more elevation, 20 MOA Pic rail Rocksett-bonded to the...

    What Sport did you play growing up?

    Varsity wrestler sophomore year (my first year ever trying it). I was naturally pretty good. But I had to hitchhike home after practice. Parents never attended a single match. Undefeated right up until I quite. It was a great lesson in terrible parenting. :cool::ROFLMAO:

    A little humour for your day

    As kids we rode ours bareback with a figure 8 of whatever rope we could find as a bridle. We'd chase deer on horseback with our little 30 pound stick bows, shooting light target arrows from 100 yards away. No deer were ever harmed. Our fat old bay mare loved to get up to a decent trot downhill...

    Private pilot's license

    It's a great accomplishment. Whether you use it or not, you have it for life. You're in a good position to do it. Definitely go for it while you can. Got mine at 19. Flew till age 40 or so. May fly again someday (64 now). I never regretted it and was super proud of the accomplishment. Oshkosh...

    Scope option for a truck gun

    Truck gun? Cheap? SWFA 6X or 10X. $200 - $300 and the most bulletproof scopes you can buy under $1000. Bonus = some of the very finest hunting reticles of any available scopes. Mil quad of course!

    Everyone’s Saying the Same Thing After Scientists 'Resurrect' the Dire Wolf

    They aren't Dire wolves. They're genecic gray wolves with tiny bits of DNA edited so they look a bit like dire wolves. There is no resurrecting ancient species unless we drastically improve DNA resurrection first. And there is no path for that at the moment. It's pretend language for...
