I just picked up a Remington 700 ADL in .243 for the wife( that's my excuse anyways) at Walmart and am wondering what this different coating on the gun is. The thing is darn accurate, has a nice trigger, and feels great. I am just not sure what the coating on it is and would like to know for curiositys sake. Remington doesn't list the ADL on their website odly enough. I know its a special run thing they do for walmart as it came with a Tasco scope mounted on it and says ADL on the box. Supposedly they stopped making the ADL and replaced it with the SPS but obviously that's not the case.   I'd appreciate any info on the coating or any other differences you guys know of. For the price of $417 I think it's an awesome deal though!

Same here. Now I will say however that these "haunted" places still scare the crap out of me. I can make myself see and here stuff to on the way to and from the deer stand. There are some stands I still won't go to or from unless the sun is up. And I'm the one with the gun! :rofl:

I teared up reading that. Not too many things anger me as much as someone being cruel to an animal. Especially a dog. These folks are underneath the bottom of the barrel.

A new Academy Sports just opened up on Friday in Collierville (Memphis area) about 15 minutes from my house and needless to say I am ECSTATIC!! They were also loaded with ammo of every popular caliber. Prices are better than Bass Pro as well.

This is just amazing to me. I get iron butt after and hour on mine with a nice mustang seat! Kudo's to you Good Steward.    On a side note: I made the mistake of swinging my leg over a new Goldwing at the dealer Saturday. I WILL have one of those within a few years. I mean it has it all; navigation, radio, heater, cb, bluetooth, plenty of storage, comfortable wide seats for rider and passenger. I could go on and on. The adolescent in me will have to slap some louder pipes on it though.

Check out his other videos. Some are pretty cool.

J Roth holsters. I just liked the shape he cut the leather in the best for this small gun. Very minimal.

Well that makes sense. I haven't received it yet so I am not actually looking at it. Just saw in the head on pictures that it set off a little. I just always heated them with a hair dryer to adjust tension. This would be easier though.

I just ordered a holster for my newly acquired Kahr CW9 and am just noticing that the model I ordered has some type of bushing in between the back of the kydex and the leather. All the ones I have ever had fit flush to the leather. This one looks interchangeable with different kydex bodies. Any rhyme or reason to this?

I agree with this. An airsoft or non-frozen paintball wouldn't be that bad. I mean us humans shoot each other with them and I don't like getting hit by them. Anything more could probably do lasting damage.

It says online that its 21'6" x 6'9" but that is with both slides out. I wold guess around 10x6 closed???

Yeah I am going to by a set of wheel chocks for $10 just to be safe but will probably just level with some spare lumber.

Yes TNguy you are correct. I did a little searching after posting that and found that the leveling is done by the wheels and the front jack. The stands are just for support. It makes sense now that I think about it haha.   I saw on another forum where a guy had made a leveling "ramp" out of a few pieces of wood. He just cut lengths of 1x6 progressively longer and angled the edges. You just back the wheel up on it until you get to the correct level you need. I may just build one of these. That leveling tool shown in the video would be easier but I just don't want to dump  alot of money into it on the front end.

Just an update. We did end up going with a 91 Jayco. Other than a few problems with the running lights and tail lights (some are broken and corroded) and some of the bungie cord that holds the tent tight we are really satisfied with it. The wife attacked the inside of it with a box of magic erasers and it looks like new! I am satisfied with the build of it as well. All of the wood underneath the two pullout beds as well as the floor is made of marine grade plywood and isn't showing any sign of decay. It's also pretty crazy how well the A/C works.    Probably my biggest concern is the runoff from the A/C. Right now it just runs off of the roof whichever way you have the camper pitched. I haven't looked closely at the unit yet but I am thinking I can fashion some type of hose onto the drip pan so it doesn't run down the side of the camper. This unit does not have level indicators built in it so I just eyeballed it. I also does not have scissor jacks for leveling. It just has four stands that lock into different levels. I will probably just use a scissor jack to lift each corner to set the stands.   They are a little bit more time consuming to set up but I think we will be happy with until we have a place to store and the time to really utilize a larger travel trailer. Thanks for all the info!

At the moment we just aren't ready to drop money for a nice travel trailer. We will at some point but for now we just want to break into camping as cheaply as we can. The in laws have one that we have been staying in when they go camping but we just want to have the ability to go whenever we want. We don't usually stay for more than 2-3 days. If I am in it for no more than $2000 I think it'd be worth it just to have SOMETHING.   A key factor now though is that we don't have the room to store a larger trailer. This will be going in my back yard and there is BARELY enough room to squeeze my truck and this trailer through the gates. The funny thing is for a couple thousand more you can get a really nice used 20 footer. I just don't have the room!

That's what I am seeing as well. Seems to me that the Jayco's have a good rep. I just looked them up and they are Amish/Mennonite built. Apparently they do not use any type of particle board or wafer board. Only plywood or solid wood. That's definitely a plus.

There were too many unknowns on the Coleman. The gas lines were mysteriously capped off. He didn't know if the water worked, didn't have it hooked up, fabric had more tears in it than was let on, etc. I am looking at the one mentioned above now in great shape or a 2000 palomino in good shape (with no title though) now. roughly around the same price. From what I was reading online the Jayco's are supposed to be better built but that's really what I am asking here haha. I didn't pass on the coleman to save $250 I just didn't think it was worth what he was asking and honestly was afraid to gamble on it. It did not have a title either.

I am looking at getting a used pop up and have no idea what a good price would be. I went and looked at one yesterday but the owner and I couldn't meet on the price. The gentleman was asking $2500 for it (2001 Coleman) but it had a few things that didn't work.   I am looking at a 1991 Jayco now that the owner is asking $2250 for. It looks to have been WELL taken care of and is 100% functional. Am I correct in thinking that any of these pop ups in good shape no matter the age (within reason) aren't going to get much under $1700 in very good condition? I don't mind paying that I just don't want to overpay by a lot if I don't have to.

Yeah didn't think about that. Well no matter what his face looks like I bet it has a smile on it from here on out!  :up:

Glad you got it figured out! Nor for the mandatory dog thread requirement....PICS!

I'l bet he doesn't want to leave after a good bath and brushing!   Me personally I'd due a LITTLE more digging and see what the circumstances may be. From what you said though it seems like a case of pure neglect. More than likely the kids started missing the dog and the parents posted just to say they did. I'd probably try to find him another home.   +1 to you for caring!

Two words; MORE COWBELL!

Thanks for the input guys. The money isn't an issue I just wanted to make sure I couldn't hunt without spending the money. Every little bit that goes towards that MS out of state license helps!   I am more nervous about hunting with a re curve this year. Not only does the deer have to be close but even CLOSER now. I don't think I will take a shot over 20 yards this year.   Thanks again.

Yeah I noticed it said something mentioning spouses but it wasn't real clear to me. I am hesitant to give them a call because I'm sure they will just say I need a license but I'll give it a shot haha.

I am trying to be sure whether or not I need to buy a TN license. Here's my situation.   My father in law owns 100 +/- acres that currently has beans planted on it. I don't live on the land but he does. Will I need to get a license or does that qualify me to hunt on that land without a license? I am assuming just having beans planted on it qualifies it as farmland. They are not his beans however. He has allowed another friend to plant on it but it is for resale by the friend.
