Ooooh.... Where's Glock located? That might be a simpler option, rather than having to buy tools. Sent from a mountain somewhere, using telepathy.

I'm looking at replacing the factory sights on my 29 (apparently, something I should've done the minute I bought it....) Can anyone recommend a good, low cost sight set? I'm thinking I'd like fiber optics, but I'm more interested in rugged & easy to use than anything. Tritium is not needed. I also don't want to double the value on 2 tiny lumps of steel......

Loads are still pretty similar..... Sent from a mountain somewhere, using telepathy.

My savage LWH .308 LOVES it! Hard to find .308 data, but if you want mine, I'll happily pm it to you. I'm getting very close to '06 velocity with 165s

I am really, really struggling to find a good accurate load for this thing. It's a savage action, pillar bedded in a boyd's stock, fully floated, 26", 1:9 magnum profile barrel. Chamber was reamed by Bison Gunworks. I've had several barrels from Bison & they're all been sub-moa shooters, so I'm doubtful that it's a barrel issue. I've only tried the heavier end of the bullet spectrum so far (Hornady 162 eld-x, Berger 168vld & Hornady 154 sst) with imr7828 & Retumbo, keeping velocity to around the 2850-2900 range. The best 3 shot group I've managed is 1", but shots 4 & 5 open the group up to nearer 2" (timed 3 minutes between shots) I'm really undecided whether to try lighter, say, 139gn pills at hopefully 3200+ (which I know is doable) because I've already got a 6.5 Swede that pretty much fills the 140gn bullet niche, although I don't get the speed I could with the .280 I built this with longer range, western hunts in mind where shots 'could' range out to 600+ yds & I was hoping to be able to go heavier on bullet weight to take advantage of the higher B.C.s offered over a .30 & carry more weight & energy than my 6.5 for large mule deer & elk sized critters. I'm thinking I need to try different powders. I know rl22 is the go-to for .280, but it's too temperature sensitive for my needs. I'm told that IMR/H4831sc could work. So, in y'all's opinions; should I go light & super fast, or try to find an accurate, heavier option? Anyone wanna share recipes, cos I'm tearing my hair out here!

Y'all have guns???

Oh man, those little .17s really get under your skin! I'm only looking to offload my marlin to upgrade to a .17WSM. Ballistics are spectacular compared to a .22LR, although even a gentle breeze makes 200yds seem like over 1k. Wind drift is murder with these rascals, but once you get your drops dialed in; saltines/charcoal briquettes at 200 are a blast!

Gimme a holler when they make a 16" lever action version.....

Atlanta cutlery have a TON of old Nepalese Martini Henrys in .450-577 Some are junk decorations, many are restoreable with a lot of work, lots are restoreable with a bit of work, a few are fully functional. Obviously price depends on condition, but they run the gamut from a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand. A fair example will cost a bit more up front, but if you don't mind getting dirty, you can build a really nice rifle by using one as a base & sourcing parts. There are even online tutorials of forming your own brass.

Post the guy's phone number & how much you offered him. I'm sure that 5 or 6 of us would be willing to call & offer a few hundred under what you offered I don't know what the reverse of shilling is.....but that.

Been using it for a couple of years now. The scent direction thingy is handy, but the major/minor feed times feature & moon phase is priceless. I've found it to be accurate about 99% of the time for feed times & I use it habitually as an indicator of when I need to be on stand (like, right now. So I am )

A.) It vastly reduced production costs. Plus keeping fixed heads sharp through packing, storage, distribution & rattling around on shelves for years is insanely difficult. B.) The manufacturers assumption is that you'll shoot them into targets before you ever hunt with them, so they'd need to be resharpened to hunt anyway (And rightly so....) The only folks I know of that make a practice fixed blade (with non replaceable blades) is Montec.

It's perfectly normal with a lot of fixed blade broadheads with non-removable blades. Hellrazors, Montec G5s, Magnus, Woodsman.... they all need work before they're hunting ready. They're worth the effort though. Much tougher heads than replaceable blades.

The last place I'd ever go for butchering classes is any kind of processor. Deer processing is a volume gig. The quicker they can get through deer, the more money they make. I don't mean this as a slight, it's just how it is in the meat cutting business. A processor isn't ever going to tell you exactly how to separate individual muscles, what each muscle is used for & how to cut it correctly. Mostly, they're bandsaw butchers. The Virginia Fish & Game folk put out (or at least, used to put out) a very well made 'field to freeze' dvd for about $20. It's literally a butcher-along. I have mine away some time ago, otherwise I'd gladly let you have it. It's without a doubt the best $20 I ever spent on hunting gear.

Joe Rogan Experience, MeatEater with Steven Rinella, Keep Hammering with Cameron Hanes Gritty Bowmen, Hunt Talk Radio with Randy Newberg & Hunt Backcountry. That's pretty much my entire play list!

You should be issued your shotgun & marlin 336 upon arrival in the state. I moved here from England 7½ years ago (you think you've had it bad.....) & bought my first firearm through an FFL 92 days later. The whole process took me about 15 minutes. It still amazes me to this day how uncomplicated Tennessee makes it to buy through a store & private sales are exactly the same as buying anything else!

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good radio app for my cellphone? I've just had a bluetooth stereo fitted in the old truck, after years of being tired of constantly searching for stations when I drive across the country......or to Chattanooga. I'm looking for something that just plays regular stations (rock, preferably)

Mm hmm....me too! Sent from a mountain somewhere, using telepathy.

I found the insights thoroughly enlightening, to be honest.

Dammit. Should've hung around for an hour. 8 openers & I've never hit my limit! Sent from a mountain somewhere, using telepathy.

Oh crap. I cancelled my order Tuesday through the site. I'm going to run to the bank later & fill out a dispute form. Hopefully Master Card can pull it back.....
