    Some of the huge operators probably do. Probably depends on the state or area. And the fauna

    Snakes!

    It is a little striking isn’t it? If I were of a certain political persuasion I would submit it to an art gallery and make prints of it. Might be a good seller. It definitely could be interpreted in a certain way, especially to the uninformed

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    Makes perfect sense (y) (y) I wasn’t aware there was such a thing until I saw it mentioned somewhere and I was intrigued. As you know, mine is an automatic BUT I don’t wear it at work so my wear time per week is pretty limited. I will do it the right way (y)

    Spomer's new Parkwest falling block

    Maybe after he gets his titles mastered he can do something about that accent! It’s like nails on a chalkboard to this Okie. That said, I fully acknowledge the fact that my accent would likely be unbearable to many.

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    If I worked the railroad I would have to have a Ball: https://teddybaldassarre.com/collections/watches?filters=Brand_BALL+Watch%2CMovement_Automatic Neat company history. I would think they would be a popular choice for people in that profession.

    What are the ideal components of a Control Round Feed action, and which actions have the best features?

    It’s not so much any single feature as it is all of them. I know there are others that provide something comparable. I like that they beefed it up and that they will build it for a specific cartridge. I’d love to have a rifle built with a single square bridge, thumb cut-out and a Rigby III...

    Yes sir I will sell you two boxes of ammo. Please let me know which two you want. The A Square brass is yours as well. I do see online on multiple sources that the Capstick utilizes at .475 bullet. That is strange. Hopefully someone can clarify whether or not .474 bullets will work. Shows how...

    *** Cowboy Boots ***

    The internet says Ariats are made in China, Mexico, Italy and Nam. I personally will never own another pair for work. Two reasons: made abroad and will absolutely not hold up to hard use (personal experience). There are plenty of American made options to choose from. In my experience Ariat...

    Politics

    True enough. However, look back at the major conflicts of the past few hundred years and the majority have not been born out of religious fervor IMO. While it may indeed play a role in some it seems like the primary motivators are political, expansionist and territorial at their core.

    Politics

    That’s not very realistic. Nations have invaded other nations for millennia and often done far worse things than what it is going on in Ukraine (not trivializing it). Diplomacy can work, obviously through a position of strength. Also, the stuff that goes on in North Korea is no trivial matter...
