No need or immediate want in my life. Other than a desire for a big bore AR platform, my only advice based on "hunting and occasional range" is a good optic budget, not a good budget optic. From the recent AR thread, with patience for flash sales, you could build one. $1000 all at once vs. a hundred here and there over time.

Starts gun forum, 8000 posts, numerous builds, started EDC with an SAA...might know a thing or two...

I've got a Sport 2, stock except grip and added red dot. Does everything I need it to do. I also looked at the Ruger, slightly better finish. See them both routinely on sale for $500. For my second, if I ever do it, will be a build, in a different caliber. Good luck!

Oh, how God loves his creation. After Adam and Eve ate of the tree, the Lord comes strolling through the Garden. He rebukes and punishes. The very first thing He does? His righteous judgement is tempered with mercy and love: He covers their nakedness. I don't know about you, but if I was in charge and had only ONE rule, and you broke it, you might be lucky all I did was throw your clothes in a muddy ditch when I kicked your sorry @$$ out. Glory and Praise to the Lamb of the New Covenant, who washes away my sin and shame so I no longer need to cover it from the Lord. Thank you for your sacrifice, so that I may be acceptable before God.

Can't be much hotter than last time...

I shot mine for the first time today. There is something about a lever action, and this one takes care of my immediate desires. A .357mag would be practical, since I've got handguns in the same caliber.

Expensive for a paperweight. Sorry, couldn't help it.

Started with Deeznutz, an alleged meth addicted attack squirrel: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2019/06/28/alabama-meth-attack-squirrel-owner-arrested-after-car-chase/1594541001/ Owner denies feeding Deeznutz meth, is a beloved pet. Not go to be outdone, this dude wanted to make a radioactive super snake: https://www.foxnews.com/us/oklahoma-man-arrested-for-stolen-car-police-find-gun-whiskey-rattlesnake-and-radioactive-uranium Not wanting to be left out, TN is aiding the meth gator crisis. https://time.com/5627237/tennessee-flush-drugs-meth-gators/ Looking for more than the small caliber attack squirrel, certain but slow death from your radioactive super snake, or hard to conceal and eratic meth gator?

Both?

Dave, I've got a FF 3 on my Sport 2, ran it through a rifle class, for PDW ranges, I think you'll be pleased. I also have their mount, very impressed with quality.

I considered RMR'ing my Rami P. Weakening eye sight coupled with a shorter sight radius. Proven by experienced users to gain faster acquisition and confidently engage at 50+ Cost crushed me. While I am one of the thrifty / budget club, I would only purchase a dot with a proven track record, by people I know. Those appear to be $450ish+ Plus milling and might as well add any desired 'smithing since you're that far rabbit hole. In my case, probably $1000 worth of stuff. Still on my radar, but I'm probably going over budget on my remodel, so not anytime soon.

I didn't realize how long it has been since I heard this broadcast. Starts a little slow, but wait until you hear or read about Bob. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/323/transcript And audio, 22 minutes. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/323/the-super/act-one

Science and Christianity... While I believe in creation, l have a hard time accepting the young earth viewpoint. I think it's short sighted to limit what God could actually do during the measured 24 hour periods we call days. Perhaps it's beyond comprehension; according to the Bible, He worked 24/6 and rested on 7. No indication of a union break during His shift. What could God create and mould into it's final form in 168 non stop hours? What got me started thinking about was this article and my perceived inconsistencies that theories of evolution and the big bang are just that, theories. https://amp.businessinsider.com/quantum-entanglement-einstein-first-picture-2019-7 Quotes from the article: illustrate a strange phenomenon that rattled Albert Einstein so much that he died disbelieving it could exist With current tech and testing, he probably would believe, thanks to the amazing human brain. At tiny scales, the universe appears to play by different rules, many of which are paradoxical and defy reason Chalk this up to another scientifically unexplained phenomenon? The last sentence of the above quote indicates in Quantum Mechanics there can be an effect BEFORE the cause. This is my favorite quote No one should be blamed for being confused by quantum mechanics, Davis said, since "we didn't evolve to understand" the theory and its counterintuitive ramifications I guess Davis and those studying Quantum Mechanics did evolve to understand? As tech evolved to test, the brain evolved to understand? We evolved to figure out how math can be used to describe (most of) the natural world? If Davis and his colleagues represent the next level of evolution, I'm disappointed. I'd rather be able to fly or shoot laser from my eyes than a math geek. Do the folks who ARGUE their point of view think "proving" creation or evolution is winning converts to their cause?

Pets are property, however, someone coming at my less than lethal barking dog, I'm probably in the foreground or background of that tactical picture. How do I know you didn't select me out of the phone book, ala Navin R Johnson style, and you hate dogs as well?

Welcome aboard. Be careful on your two wheeler!

Classic, Aim, and other will advertise used S&W LE revolvers and semis, price points seem to be under $350. Apparently, the Yeet Cannon is popular https://www.ammoland.com/2019/06/psa-px9-yeet-cannon-glock-style-stripped-lower-receiver/#axzz5tBBBYrwy

I always post "ID / BoS" Pretty sure this eliminates most of non-qualified owners from inquiring. A stranger, yep, let's see valid TN ID and sign. Well known to me or someone on TGO, if you want to, sure, if you want to opt out, sure.

I always equated zombies with the general public. That's my perception as well, with the assumption of the mass becoming agitated and forcefully getting what they want in the event of a man made or natural disaster. I watched a few episodes of TWD, zombie genre is low on fiction interest list. TWD does have my preferred zombie type. Slower, fooled by camouflage and bait and packed tight should make for easier head shots. Those World War Z zombies are down right terrifying. Has Elon's civilian flame thrower made it into any current zombie medium? That would be an effective platform.

The Beltman has a loyal following here and other sites I visit. Budget aside, I've gotten great service from my 5.11 Casual (leather) and black leather Goodrich and Gould for work. I have been using a NexBelt for causal attire off and on over the last year with good results as well. OWB a CZ75b for comparison. Not an owner, but for a non leather rig, the Wilderness gets a lot of stars, green check marks, and smiley faces on the 'net.

Glad you joined!

Correct, GM had the suburban and he had the Grand Wagoneer. Modern SUV movement?

Plus a few shares of $1.00 stock. From a TV program, he created both the mini van segment with the caravan / voyager and SUV with the grand Cherokee. The ubiquitous K car, reliable transportation, equipment differentiated Plymouth - Dodge - Chrysler. Was be at helm when Ram trucks got the first modern facelift for the '93/'94 model year?

NOT an expert, simply an end user. 2008 involved with building a commercial building. Totally plumbed with pex, including the manifold. No leaks today. Asked the plumber why not copper. He said copper pipe today can have more impurities and eventually the chlorine and flouride dissolve those impurities and after a few years, voila, pin hole leaks. Cheap Chinese copper says he. Currently remodeling, my guy replaced the diverter and replumbed copper supply with pex.

Welcome aboard!

Start a movement for the "protect the hearing of hunting dogs." Unless they're hypocrites, every animal rights activist should be all in. These pups were breed to hunt, are you willing to deny them the right to what is their preferred dog life style? Do you not care about their quality of life being impacted by hearing loss or damage after retirement? Dog have rights too.
