The ongoing saga of my motorcycle builds....

Installing a scope on a scope on a Winchester lever action
deerslayer replied to TheFiveO's topic in Long Guns
Jeff Cooper talked about peep sights being more precise and friendlier to older eyes than open sights and quicker than optic sights. Seems kinda contradictive, but Cooper knew his stuff. Red dots weren't common in his day, though. I have these on a Winchester 94AE and I really like them. I prefer these lower profile sights to the big Skinner type peeps and I think they are closer to what Cooper had in mind. https://xssights.com/products/winchester-ghost-ring-sight-sets-lever-action-.html -
Why not more open carry?
deerslayer replied to billyblazes's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Right, but how do you convince people that regular folks OCing is normal when you dress like a homicide detective and assume that strangers believe that’s what you are? What good does that do? -

deerslayer replied to billyblazes's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I used to know a fellow who open carried scenario 1 style. He said people assumed he was a police officer, and talked like this was a good thing. I completely disagreed because A. I don’t want people to think I am a cop or trying to impersonate one and B. Fooling people into thinking you are a cop and not Joe Citizen does not advance 2A rights or win over people. I thought his mentality was badly flawed. -
Well crap. I got up to go run four miles or so and it's white outside. Either I didn't pay attention to the weather or they forgot to mention snow.

I run across them every blue moon at either an IDPA or USPSA match (can't remember which).

Must watch movie/television recommendations & interesting shows
deerslayer replied to Links2k's topic in General Chat
Tommy Norris’ job in Landman reminds me of my job somewhat, minus the fistfights and bodies. His character cracks me up. On a side note, the plot of all of Taylor Sheridan’s shows lately seems to be how many F-bombs each character can squeeze into a paragraph. -
Most of the issues with the early ones seemed to be magazine related.

The included MOS plates are junk, but C&H Precision made MOS a good system. But yeah, I would prefer direct mount.
-
This is kinda neat, although I scratch my head at doing something with Aimpoint instead of making a dedicated RMR-ready slide. I imagine there are a lot more people interested in direct mounting RMRs, SROs, and various Holosuns.

4 or 5" here. Was barely doing anything a couple hours ago but is coming down harder now. This crap needs to hurry up and melt - I need to go to the range Sunday.

I must be an oddball, I’ve bought several guns at Bass Pro and all been smooth and quick.
-
Makes sense if you are trying to get the gun as low as possible. I like them kinda low but still high enough to easily draw.
-
How does a red dot print more? I’ve never noticed them being harder to conceal. Typically, the butt of the grip is what prints.

What range bag are you guys using?
deerslayer replied to Thursty's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
These https://www.goutdoorsproducts.com/product/pistol-sleeve-large-with-locking-zipper/ I can stack maybe three max in the bottom compartment of the range bag. They are handy at a match when getting the gun out must be done at a safe area. Instead of lugging around the range bag, just pull this out of the range bag and walk to the safe area. -

deerslayer replied to Thursty's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
This is my favorite range bag. I don’t use the foam gun holder, though. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1085600274818?pid=274818 -
What Ammo do you have in your HD AR mags?

Winchester 64 grain Power Point for deer. I figure if it's made for deer, it should work for 2 legged critters and they shoot really well in my gun. I think Winchester has discontinued it and replaced it with 64 grain Deer Season. -
They would be the first truck I would look at if I were in the market for a new mid-size truck. A gimmick-free V6 engine with a geared transmission is not much to ask, but is rare nowadays.

I've never noticed a meaningful change in velocity when changing seating depth .010-.040. I think it's a lot of hype. Obviously, if you sink a bullet .25 deeper than normal, you may have created a grenade.

A guy at work recently learned the hard way that nobody works on Nissan CVT transmissions; they just replace them. His economical 2015 Altima work beater suddenly made a lot less sense.

I've always liked the Ridgeline and would drive the crap out of one. I hate that they added VCM that can't be deactivated. My 4Runner does well hauling two kids to a soccer tournament.

Nescafe instant decaf with a Swiss Miss hot chocolate pack. I would occasionally drink Stok cold brew before inflation. Everything else blows up my stomach.

I don’t get the point of the removable trigger module. Everybody thought they were the future when Sig put it in the 320, but they seem kinda gimmicky to me.
