    Go back and read my initial post. I'm no Trump apologist.

    Politics

    Ha! This is why I seldom post on political, particularly Trump, conversations. I value my time and one can get embroiled in the back and forth without desiring to. Read Mark's comments again, TT. It was all about the past and that was what I was addressing. If others wish to comment on his...

    Mark, I don't disagree with you but I wonder how many times Trump being a professional grade asshole has to be rehashed? What is gained constantly pointing out the past that cannot be corrected? Other than the occasional (often sarcastic) comment, I seldom talk politics on forums though I read...

    Though I'm far from a Trump apologist, I think it important to recognize what he did for our country through his Supreme Court appointments. Between the reversal of Roe v. Wade last year and the decisions of the past couple days, we owe the man a bit of gratitude.

    Affirmative action has been in effect here for generations. The decision that came down today related only to race in regards to college admissions but hopefully is the pebble's ripple upon the pond. Time will tell.

    Lynx Rifle Scopes

    Looking over Lynx's website, I'd say you're correct, Aaron. It doesn't appear there is any affiliation between the Valiants Red Leg linked and the actual Lynx brand. One for sale in SA- https://hitecharms.com/product/lynx-riflescope-lx2-3-9x40-plex/ The one I have came from a South African...

    Lynx Rifle Scopes

    Red Leg, I don't know what, if any, connection the scopes you linked have with the one I'm asking about. Perhaps newer iterations? No country of origin listed for those makes me suspect they're coming out of China? The one I have is clearly marked Japan. The attached pic is a stock photo of the...

    Lynx Rifle Scopes

    I'd be interested in hearing members thoughts on them. Quality, durability, etc. Japanese made and marketed in SA is about the extent of my knowledge. I have a 3-9x40 (LX2, I believe) sitting in the safe and am trying to decide whether to keep it or move it on. Presently in a cleaning out frame...

    Well boys, what's your temperature like now?

    If it weren't for a select few reasons, I'd be quite content if the temp never rose above 50° here in PA. I HATE heat & humidity.

    7x57 Load Workup with Hornady 154 Spire Points and IMR 4350

    Cash, I don't consider myself an experienced enough handloader to really offer an opinion. Have we become that litigious as a society? Possibly a reformulation of the powder since your manual was published? Others have mentioned safely pushing a 154gr bullet to 2700+ fps. The max 43.4gr load...

    Question for the day.... It's been 8 years since Trump descended the golden escalator. During the intervening years, how many hours of your life have been spent on the internet either praising or denigrating the man?

Only blemish I can find are two very small areas of light rust at the top of the cylinder release. Original factory Rosewood grips. $725 shipped CONUS. More than willing to meet for a FTF in...

    Tungsten buckshot for leopard follow up?

    Tungsten shot is not "simply meant as a legal in US replacement for lead shot". It is completely different in it's physical properties from lead. There is no way experiences with lead shot can be interpreted to indicate with how tungsten shot will perform. The density of tungsten pellets is...

    Takedown Soft Case for Double Rifles?

    Speaking only for myself, the novelty wears off rather quickly. I'm primarily a ruffled grouses hunter so lots of cover hopping. The need to assemble/disassemble a SxS every time I change location convinced me to go back to a full length case after a few days of use. They are handy if space is...

    Federal 215 Magnum Primers -Needed

    Leslie, do you remember a place by the name of Jack's Mountain Brewery? Twenty-five years ago I spent a few months working on a cabin in the Lewistown area with a good friend. Several times a week we'd stop at Jack's Mtn in the evening for a meal and a couple of beers. Good memories.
