*dies

I’ll take the died please.

I’d believe it. I have two quarts of deer fat in the freezer. Venison is high in saturated fat but most people (myself included) can’t stomach it so it’s a nonissue. With virtually no intramuscular fat it’s easy enough to trim all the fat away. The texture is like candle wax. All animal...

Those H&R bolt actions (Ultra) had Douglas barrels. I assume H&R reamed the chambers though. It is possible the chamber is minimum spec and tight but it’s more likely the ammo is not sized correctly. I like 165 grain Partitions in 30-06. Even the ogive of a CoreLoct round nose 165 grain...

Midsouth often has the parts I need. Good luck.

Ha! No not really. I’ve taken truckloads of game. Seeing a kid have their first successful hunt gets me about as emotional as a Hallmark movie. A few years ago there was one more kid than there were parents on a youth hunt. I volunteered to take the kid to the stand and darned if he wasn’t...

Doubling down huh? So if you keep using fallacious examples I’m gonna keep pointing a glowing neon finger at ‘em. Nancy Pelosi is a politician I fundamentally disagree with about many things. This does not automatically make anything negative about her true in my mind. Please do map out the...

With respect, some of your “facts” are equivalent to: some fast cars are red, Jim drives a fast car, therefore Jim’s car is red. Please do show me where I am being insulting or angry. It is obvious you are an intelligent person who is well educated. For someone who is both of these things...

Ha! That is rich. And the knight in shining armor descends. Funny how you drop into every one of my comments to defend other members posts. Every time I hear an argument begin with an appeal to common sense it is with very few exceptions based on little to no evidence. While I realize your...

The question in the title of this post, in the context of the circumstances described by the OP make it evident he is really asking which of two rifles to buy. He doesn’t, however, list the make or model of either. This entire thread has since revolved around how many angels can dance on the...

Thank you for presenting a reasoned argument. I disagree with you but at least nobody’s screaming. I do not feel Democrats nor Republicans are looking to kill people for political ends. I do wholeheartedly believe Trump is incapable of shepherding this country through this and, unfortunately...

Looks like you did an excellent job on that stock. Beautiful rifle of higher quality than anything new in that price range. Good luck with the sale.

We were in Lidl yesterday and it looks like they are selling biltong. Not sure how authentic it is but may provide a taste of Africa for those unable to go right now.

A 700 with a Sako or AR extractor modification is pretty reliable from what I’ve read. For that matter Win 70 push feed rifles had a couple of different extractor designs over the years. I think they all had more surface area than a stock 700.
