Here's to wishing all the big game hunters a great season and what happened at my house this morning. I went out to feed and water the dogs as I do every morning and it's not unusual to occasionally see one or two of something like a small buck, a doe, some yearlings, turkey, rabbits, an owl, raccoons, opossum, well just about anything but black panthers and bears so far. As I walked out the back door this morning a doe was grazing and about that time a small 6 point buck walked out so I just watched. Then and 8 point buck walked out and then another really nice heavy 8 point buck. Well I reached for my phone to take a picture and I didn't have it so I went back to get it. I was only able to get a picture of the 4th by himself and the last 3. 7 bucks in all trailing 1 doe. I was in a rush and the pictures are horrible but you can tell what they are. And for those wondering, my land is posted and my neighbor is the DA! FYI

Just an observation but the 3 that are not totally in the tunnels have their fingers on the trigger and the 1 photo of the guy that is does not.

Seems like I heard that whoever was involved had working knowledge of the security system as it was compromised by the suspects.

I would say yes on the suppressor. The two items I'm not sure about is the sight device on top of the revolver and is that a pressure switch in his mouth that's connected to the headlamp?

John Cantius Garand designed a great rifle and are a real treat to shoot. I hope your Garand thumb experience is a short lived pain. I don't care how experienced you are with this rifle, it's not a matter of it may bite you but when it will bite you loading a clip into the rifle. Just remember it's all part of the fun. Also it's when the term clip or enbloc is proper terminology. One thing about this rifle design is that in an ammo exhausted situation and last ditch survival plan these rifles make an awesome club like weapon. Most modern military firearms don't have this characteristic.

Very Nice. Tell us about the upper details. I'm sort of in the hunt for an AR10 upper and if a deal comes along, I may have to jump on it.

It is abundant in my area everywhere except Wally World. For some reason it still gets sucked up as soon as it hits the shelf even though their price is not that good and can be found cheaper in a few of the places I frequent. Until we see boxes of .22 stacked up with dust on them the retail price will not go down.

So what's the deal? Two conflicting stories going here. Gun Stocks plunged

Why wait until election time? I try to handle gun stocks daily along with the actions and barrels. Seriously though, if anyone one here has any investments in Black Rock, Vanguard or Fidelity mutual funds and depending on the fund family they very well may be invested in firearm or ammunition industry.

Very Nice! We shall call you Edward suppressor hands.

May be a 1,2,3 punch. Tropical storm Jose is following Irma and building.

He probably had his Beats headphones turned up to 11 one too many times and can't remember his meteorological school learnin' But then I found this. And This. Hurricanes are categorized by several methods, the most well known being the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. The Saffir-Simpson scale, developed in 1969, is based on the wind speed of the hurricane. The various categories are listed below in their traditional form: Category 1: 74 to 95 mph Category 2: 96-110 mph Category 3: 111-130 mph Category 4: 131-155 mph Category 5: greater than or equal to 156 mph The amount of damage between each category does not increase linearly. Each increase in category greatly increases the damage potential. The original scale included no Category 6 hurricane. Robert Simpson has stated that there was no reason to include an additional category because the damage would be severe no matter the wind speed over 155 mph. Improvements in building engineering over the past roughly 35-40 years may have changed that dynamic and might necessitate the addition of a category 6 hurricane. In our view, if the Saffir-Simpson scale were adjusted to include another category, it would likely be as follows: Category 1 hurricane: 74 to 95 mph Category 2 hurricane: 96-110 mph Category 3 hurricane: 111-130 mph Category 4 hurricane: 131-155 mph Category 5 hurricane: 156-175 mph Category 6 hurricane: greater than or equal to 176 mph The current Saffir-Simpson scale has the following wind speed bands for its categories: Category 1: 21 mph band Category 2: 14 mph band Category 3: 19 mph band Category 4: 24 mph band Category 5: unlimited band since there is no upper limit besides atmospheric limitations A Category 5 band would likely be a 19 or 24 mph band and therefore a category 6 hurricane would have winds greater than or equal to 176 mph (or 181 mph). The 176 mph figure seems to make the most sense based on wind speeds and engineering. On a related note, the question has come about, what about a storm that has winds of 95.5 mph or 110.5 mph or 131.5 mph or 155.5 mph etc? It would seem that the scale does not provide for those wind speeds. A continuous mathematical restatement of the Saffir-Simpson Scale should be made with the addition of an additional category. The Saffir-Simpson scale should be restated as: Category 1 Hurricane: 74 to 95 mph Category 2 Hurricane: > 95 to 110 mph Category 3 Hurricane: > 110 to 130 mph Category 4 Hurricane: > 130 to 155 mph Category 5 Hurricane: greater than 155 mph Or, alternatively: Category 1 Hurricane: 74 to less than 96 mph Category 2 Hurricane: 96 mph to less than 111 mph Category 3 Hurricane: 111 mph to less than 131 mph Category 4 Hurricane: 131 mph to less than 156 mph Category 5 Hurricane: 156 mph or greater Or with an additional category: Category 5 Hurricane: > 155 to less than 175 mph Category 6 Hurricane: 175 mph or greater or alternatively, Category 5 Hurricane: 156 mph to less than 176 mph Category 6 Hurricane: 176 mph or greater Precision is important in the sciences and hurricane forecasting is nothing if not a science. Likewise taxonomies assist in the classification and therefore the study of any phenomenon. Our view is that the Saffir-Simpson scale has a few minor areas that need correction.

Good choices there in my opinion. More info on the flashlight please.

I actually saw someone paramotoring over the Percy Warner Park area last Saturday. I will admit it does look like something I would probably enjoy but the last thing I need is another hobby.

Now that sounds like a fine idea right there. I think I will do the same but not sure I will stop at one case. Only 250 rounds per case, may go for 2.

Welcome! Hickman county huh, I bet that's a little bit of culture shock?

I prefer fixed wing myself and something with climate controls in the cabin.

Just out of curiosity and sorry if I missed it but what are these going on? I'm guessing a utility trailer but then I'm a terrible guesser.

As someone here stated used trailer tires are best avoided. They were usually replaced for a good reason and signs of wear isn't always one of them. I bought a new set of 4, 15" load range E 10 ply tires about 5 weeks ago and they were under $100 each. If you have a Co-Op near you I highly recommend you give them a try. More times than not they are way more verse in trailer and specialty tires than your average automotive tire shop.

The projected path shown is their best 4 day guesstimate. You rarely see projected paths more than 4 days out for storms like this. I did see or hear something that is officially been upgraded to a catagory 3 as of present time.

They have been creeping up in nickle increments in my neck of the woods for a couple of days but then they always creep up before a long holiday weekend. Mother nature looks like she's winding up with a 1,2 punch with Hurricane Irma gaining some momentum to be a category 3 by Monday.

If you are referring to this I can't see the pictures either. OK, not exactly the last thing I bought, but I have been trying to get time to put this together forever. I have been hesitant too as I rarely put out a list of what I own. A little while back, I helped a member nail down prices on some guns he needed to sell. I will let him chime in if he wants to be definitely identified. The more I looked, the more I decided I wanted several of them. I let one slip through my fingers, but in the end though, we came to a package deal for everything he had left. Taken a lot of side jobs to cover my outlay, but I think it was worth it. I got some good guns at a reasonable price and he got to not sit on them forever to get them to move. I am very grateful to him because he worked with me to get all this shipped. The distance and my schedule was just too much to meet FTF. The 1st item not pictured was a H&R 10GA single shot shotgun with rifle sights. That went to a coworker of mine. He wanted it even before I made a package deal. I like my shoulder too much for that. LOL First are a Winchester Model 1200 in 12GA and a Remington Model 11-48 in 16GA. Second is a Emperor Firearms Guardian Tactical 12GA. In the same pic is as extra barrel for the 1200 Third is a Winchester Model 70 in .30-06 with a Bushnell scope and bi-pod. Fourth is a SKS in a composite folding stock with a red dot scope, bi-pod and a 75 round drum (not pictured). Below it is a Stevens model 94 .410 shotgun. Fifth is a Marlin 39 Carbine Lastly, is a Mosin/Nagant M44 and Mosin/Nagant 91/30. Bayonets came with both. I have not had a ton of time to completely go over these, but the M44 may have all matching numbers. It is missing the piece that snaps in to lock the bayonet forward. On top of this was a good bit of ammo for all the guns including 24 boxes of 16GA. He also tossed in a few items that he needed to clean out that included a range finder. That has already come in very handy. So there you have it, my largest single buy in my life (so far lol).

I have several hand me down family guns, JC Higgins, Stevens, Glenfield and insert store brand name of choice here. While not much value $$$ wise they are some I will never let go of unless someone offered me an astronomically amount of $$$$$$$ and I'm sure that's not going to happen any time soon.

Surprisingly I just searched and found many with asking prices half that and slightly more for ones with some use on them. I found several 70's vintage new in box with upwards of $1000.00 and more in many places. I never would have thought it.
