a buddy of mine just picked this up... he wants to stuff it full of 1/4" ball bearings, and put a cell phone trigger on it... then point it at a feeder and wait for pigs to come in lol..

those are solid groups! My Christensen 300 PRC is producing consistent .65 - .75 MOA (at 100) 5 shot groups with "hunting" hand loads.. Ive been super happy with it.. and my Christensen .308 will produce sub MOA with pretty much anything I feed it.. my preferred "hunting" load get about a .80...

this is my "road trip" magic... whenever I find myself on a long drive, DMD is the potion that keeps me awake and alert.. I'll go through a couple of the 1 liter bottles of the stuff just on the drive between DFW and Memphis (+/- 6.5 hours) lol.. When Ive got a truly long road trip like the...

Rani is a fruit juice drink (brand) that is very popular throughout the middle east.. they are HQ'd in Dubai, but have production facilities all over the region.. https://ranimania.com/en/ I practically lived on Rani in 2004 when living out on the local economy in Iraq... I bet I drank 5 or 6...

thats one non classified, publicly disclosed camera feed.. I can assure you that there are all sorts of sensors, cameras, and other security devices located all over the property as well as other locations surrounding the property that monitor who and what is approaching, how its approaching...

FWIW, much like the hurricane relief effort for North Carolina last year, my firm is partnering with Samaritans Purse on flood relief. We’ve sent in a donation and are about to put up a web link for others to join in and make donations if anyone is interested. I was originally planning on...

The best deal going on a “deer rifle” scope in my opinion… https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1021200010?pid=951572 I’ve got 3 of these on various rifles (including a 308 and a 300 PRC)… they are worth every penny at full MSRP in my opinion… but at 33% off normal retail, they are an absolute steal…

My wife took her gemsbok/oryx with a 308 shooting 168gr TTSX… went down within 20 yards of where it got hit, no problem at all.. That said, I haven’t been a big fan of eld-x.. for shooting at distance I suppose they are nice (generally very accurate out of most rifles)… but their ability to...

I dont think the theory that POTUS is on "the list" holds any water.. If so the FBI is so leaky there is no way in hell that someone in the NY Field Office didn't already send it to Chuck Schumer and others... and there is no way in hell Schumer doesn't cash in that chip immediately to his own...

your #1 challenge is going to be finding a camp that can accomidate a party that large AND has enough land and is distributed enough that that many hunters can all be out at the same time and not be bumping into each other all day.. AND has enough PH's on staff to handle that many hunters... If...

I went with a very similar solution.. thanks again for this recommendation... Cabelas has a 17 gallon "sportsmans" box made by Plano for $25.. Its slightly bigger than your box, but dimensionally I think perfect for my needs.. the box is 30" long for example and my saw with bar and chain is...

Im not worried about "protecting" the saw per se.. I figure if the tool is designed to be drug all over the woods, slammed into trees, etc... it doesnt really need protection from a ride in the back of the truck.. Im more interested in keeping the saw, some accessories, ear/eye pro, etc all...

I hadnt thought about a regular storage box as opposed to a dedicated "chainsaw" case.. thats actually really good and would perfectly fit my needs.. Ive actually got a 27" x 13" x 18" lockable plano case that Im certain the saw would fit into plus a fuel can, spare chain, some tools, eye and...

I think that’s going to be @gizmo ‘s territory…

We prefer to hunt as often as possible and typically hit South Africa every year, and also do another international hunt as well maybe 2 out of 3 years… Hunting with that frequency does require us to maintain/control a budget (at a minimum there are 2 hunters.. my wife and I.. but often we...
