Oz is the place where everything wants to kill you… with all of those snakes, spiders, crocs, and drop bears I can’t believe you guys ever walk outside without at least a long gun and a pistol on your hip for backup… :D

Other than occasional steaks or brisket when we want to treat ourselves, we really don’t eat beef with any regularity anymore… Between my wife and I we take 5-7 deer a year… supplement that with the elk and red stag we brought back from New Zealand… we’ve been eating venison 3-4 nights a week...

HEB has the 73/27 ground for $5.49 in north Dallas… the 93/7 is $7.49 If you want organic/grass fed, etc it’s a good bit more… If you’re willing to buy in 5lb increments, COSTCO is $3.99 a lb for 83/17

A smart Karen would be polite... since she has no power, maybe ask the more prepared neighbor if she could maybe charge her cell phone or borrow a little electricty for her own key needs... if she wasnt an asshole, most neighbors would be inclined to be helpful.. Sadly, most Karens arent very...

I 100% trust Nicole. My youngest flies out next weekend to spend the summer overseas… we needed help on a pretty difficult itinerary on some pretty tight timelines and some visa requirements.. It was no challenge for Nicole at all.. she came back with a handful of options, made a strong...

I use mini tripods... Pretty inexpensive.. I build both of those in the pic for less than $80 (each)... I use a swiss arca mount for attaching the heads.. so I can pop them off and direct mount them to my "precision" AR15's or my AR10's and use them either at the bench or from the prone...

I got my eyes opened when my youngest got really serious about competitive shotgun… I thought getting her “fitted” was going to be as simple as having her mount the gun a few times and then having the stock cut down… It was instead about a 45 minute affair that involved not just getting the...

https://www.africahunting.com/threads/community-designed-ah-hunting-knife.102864/ That should get you there…. :)

I cant tell you how many times Ive heard people exclaim their generator isnt working... only to find out they either didnt actually flip the "on" switch.. or didnt realize there is a fuel on/off valve.. etc.. theyre prepared to give the thing away or sell it for pennies on the dollar.. when...

Sunny Hill makes a replacement 3+1 and they also make a 4+1 for a Winchester M70 https://www.sunnyhillgunparts.com/70win.html

Ill send you a PM :)

I havent done this yet... but only because I know the house I am in today is not the house Im going to be in for a whole lot longer.. we'll be here 5 years more at most.. I'd really like to transition to our final home (retirement) in the next 2-3 years if we can find the right place, make the...

I dont know that Pratt has the skills or the experience to be an effective Mayor in a city the size of Los Angeles... But... I cant believe he could possibly be any worse than Bass... she is an absolute train wreck of a human being and even worse as a politician..

completely agree... Ive also got a wood burning fire place (not all that common with newer built houses in this part of the country) and I always have at least a 1/2 cord of firewood on hand.. if I get down to a 1/2 cord, I go get more.. Im sitting on a full cord currently (and this is N TX...

Also check hi-bid in your area... I picked up a 9500 watt, dual fuel generator with a cummins engine... damn near new condition.. for $400 there.. I also grabbed a 5500 watt gas generator (Troy Bilt) with a Briggs and Stratton engine, also in excellent condition for $300.. Between those two...

I dont own any single shots anymore.. but I definitely love them and went through a period where I got a bit obsessed with them... For a while I was buying every H&R or NEF SB1 frame I could find.. you could get them dirt cheap at one point (anywhere from $25-$50)... the SB1 is the frame they...

Post 64's are a bit of a strange hybrid.. The 375 H&H takes the same bottom metal as their "long action" calibers... I only learned this when ordering a replacement stock for my Win 70 375 H&H from B&C.. I was looking for an option for a "magnum" length action and they had nothing available...

I prefer something a little longer myself.. It looks like Avedon and Colby offer something you might like though.. similar design and cut to the coat @Tanks is wearing, but longer.. more like the old Artkis Smock that the Brit army used to issue (they may still issue it?)...

I think in completely different terms when I know bad weather is on the horizon... I think power generation and disaster recovery (downed tree on the house.. or inability to evacuate afterwards, etc).. I have enough generator power available to pretty much power my entire house and I keep...

Ill wear long sleeves.. keeps the september mosquitoes at bay lol... I missed that one when I checked out their website earlier... Im headed there now to buy one to try out :)

The quality looks very good and the pricing is excellent… if they had a LH version of that shirt I’d order 2 right now… I’ve got a couple of Orvis shirts that are similar thst are super thin, lightweight cotton (LH) that are perfect for Texas dove hunts where you tend to sweat your ass off in...

That letter should be professionally matted, framed, and put on the wall in your trophy room. It’s a unique, cool, and very personal conversation piece. I’m sure you cherish it.

Dove poppers tonight on the treager… Dove breast and cream cheese coated in Buc-ee’s bbq rub inserted into a halved jalapeño then wrapped in bacon…

Products That Kill and Corporate Social Responsibility: The Case of U.S. Defense Firms If you need something to help you ease your mind and get to sleep faster, here’s the link :D https://www.jstor.org/stable/48609113

holy hell! 5 minutes flash to bang... that might be the fastest transaction in the history of AH! Awesome deal on a great scope!

and better BBQ... dont forget the BBQ! :D :D :D

I think your friend is an outlier.. The issue Paxton faces wont be otherwise R voters shifting and pulling the lever for "Low-T"... the overwhelming majority that would have preferred Cornyn will hold their nose and vote Paxton.. The issue is going to be motivating centrist and independent...

They were guilty as hell... straight up evil.. I also met "neighbors" that lived close by.. read a lot of the investigation... and I knew Judge Burnett (not well, but met him more than once) that presided over the case.. I am 1000% convinced they were guilty as charged.... No doubt the...

I arrested the current Mayor of West Memphis on more than on occasion... and in 2010 (several years after I left the area) he was arrested on felony domestic battery and aggrivated assault charges for "alledgedly" beating his then pregnant girlfriend.. That should tell you a good bit about West...

I was just back there this past weekend for the Memorial Day holiday visiting with family.. It was a great city to do police work in if you were the sort of guy that wanted to get into the thick of things.. especially if you were in specialized units like narcotics, vice, swat, gang task force...

What they do is look pretty… :)

Completely concur... To say I was unimpressed with many of the ISAF leadership I ran into while working in Kabul (I was in the ISAF HQ compound at least weekly, if not daily, for much of 2007, and the fairly regularly in 2008, 2009, and 2010) would be an understatement.. But.. if Im honest, I...

I dont think any US military personnel that fought alongside Canadian personnel EVER would consider them "gutless".. If they fought alongside them in the last 20 years they might think (rightfully so) that their Canadian counterparts were ill equipped, lacked adequate training, and lacked good...

We've had that discussions a couple of times prior.. the facts just convieniently get ignored sometimes when they dont support an argument.. 24 Canadians died on 9/11 Al Queda plotted NUMEROUS times to attack Canada and even had a recruitment cell operating out of a mosque in Montreal that...

While I do support capital punishment, you and I are pretty much in lock step agreement on everything else.. Even to the point that I dont think that all murderers should automatically get the death penalty.. A 20 year old drug addict raping and killing an 80 year old woman? Absolutely expedite...

He really needs to focus on motivating centrists and independents to show up at the polls and not vote for Telerico… The only story that got told for the last year was how bad Cornyn was for Texas… and Cornyn made sure to tell everyone how bad Paxton was for Texas… neither did much to tell...

I’ve gotta admit, even if it goes at double the current bid, I’d probably be a buyer… that’s a whole lot of truck for the money..

I think that is debatable… Even the Beretta Gallery sales reps will tell you they have had an increase in problems with new Chapuis rifles that have arrived over the last couple of years… and JJ has little good to say about recent QA/QC.. That’s not to say they can’t turn out an excellent...

Certainly not dissimilar…

I see those as two completely different ideals that happen to end with the same result, but are easy to reconcile.. Abortion - the killing of a human that is completely innocent of any wrong doing Capital Punishment - the killing of a human convicted of the worst crimes against humanity One...

I’d reach out to @roverandbrew … he picked up a Chapuis iphisi in 450/400 NE earlier this year and is meticulous about his firearms…

https://hibid.com/lot/301962826/1981-land-rover-series-iii-stage-1?ref=lot-list Canadians that love constantly having to untuck their cars might have an interest in this 81 Rover… looks like it might actually go pretty cheap… :)

Absolutely the best reference available for anyone loading a 416 Taylor. Pet Loads is an excellent resource.

I probably own a dozen manuals.. some fairly new, a handful pretty old (data changes over the years)... If I could only have one it would be the lyman.. it seems to be the most comprehensive.. my second choice would be barnes.. but thats because Im a huge barnes fanboy and pretty much load...

.223 / 5.56 - Im not sure if this is true in Australia, but in the US there is a huge supply of ammo in this caliber and it is inexpensive compared to other .22 centerfires. While it might not have the same ability as a .22-250 or a 220 swift, etc its easy and inexpensive to keep fed and will do...

https://www.gunmount.com/products/locking-ar-rifle-mount-universal-holder Lots of options like this out there… very common for law enforcement… Google “police ar15 car mount”… there are probably 2 dozen manufacturers with different locking systems, different mounting systems, etc… I always...

Tinnitus is one of the primary motivators for me buying dedicated suppressors for my rifles… I’ve already got it, and have it pretty bad… I don’t want it getting any worse any more rapidly… and shooting is the loudest thing I do with any regularity these days..

I’ve hunted Idaho and didn’t know any of those regulations existed.. I knew Idaho was very restrictive on muzzleloaders… but didn’t realize they were thst restrictive on archery…

The single best thing that could happen to Trump, the R's, and the American people as a whole would be for Trump to lose his phone and forget his login information to Truth Social for the next 2.5 years..

I dont have a clue what the payday would have been.. but I absolutely agree that it would have never reached anything close to even the $1B mark, much less $10B.. I dont think money was where the IRS's greatest exposure was.. It was reputation.. They are already a hated agency (what tax...
