    Close call with rattler

    Sometimes there is no way out but kill or be killed. Palo Pinto Boy Scout camp ranger stepped right onto a beefy rattler but found he had stepped almost directly on its' head. He was a big guy and thought he had the upper hand on the situation, until the snake wrapped its body around his leg and...

    Zeiss Diatal ZA 4X32

    The 1.5-6x42 is not a bulky scope IMO, and is more versatile. At one time it was considered THE versatile choice for DG to PG.

    New Tikka Barrels on the cheap

    OK, what I had done was type into Google, "Tikka T3C used barrels for sale" and when the listings came up, Precision Defense Industries had a listing to click on and what IMMEDIATELY came up were their barrels for sale. They did not have 7mag at this time, but others are listed. Call Unknown...

    New Tikka Barrels on the cheap

    I gave Unknown Munitions a phone call. Their site had listed 7mm Mag barrels in CM but did not list the barrel length so I got them to go find one of the 22 or so they had on hand. Did that today. The other site, as well, I think you have to type in what you want in search because these sales...

    New Tikka Barrels on the cheap

    Just purchased a new, take-off barrel for my Tikka T3x to have as a spare. I could just as easily have changed calibers. Cost was $100 plus shipping. Unknown Munitions was the site I used. Precision Defense Industries offers take-off barrels as well (I THINK they want $150), where a person buys...

    Any of you stop a charge with a handgun?

    Stopped a seedy character at a gas pump once. What would be the rationale for using a pistol, when you should be putting your rifle to work do or die.

    We need more honey badger content...

    I always heard, "the Martens catch and eat the squirrels, and the Sable catch and eat the Marten" or is a Fisher same as Sable?

    We need more honey badger content...

    Saw a film of a leopard biting a honey badger on the throat, trying to choke it as if it were just another antelope. But the honey badger could still breath and was getting madder and madder. Finally it twisted free, attacked the leopard and sent it retreating. Are they at all related to wolverines?

    Let’s go on a canoe ride they said. It’ll be fun they said

    Man, are you right about the woman in the brown tee shirt. That elephant curled up its trunk in classic fashion and actually let loose with it, only to have: 1. the water slow down the blow, 2. the woman to move in the water in response to the blow, lessening the impact, 3. no further follow...
