    What's the riskiest stunt you've ever pulled?

    We got lucky and . There were a lot of fun and games. We were the only ones who knew where the jeep was and we kept our mouth shut. He was a bear for the last two weeks there.

    What's the riskiest stunt you've ever pulled?

    Young and dumb, and very drunk. We were at 29 Palms during Combined Arms Exercise before deploying to the Med. Three of us stole the jeep that the Sergeant Major used and took it for a ride across the desert. We got it airborne enough to nose it straight into the ground and pretty much bent...

    Favorite Drink Recipes

    Never liked mixed drunks myself. Good moonshine sipped from a Mason jar with friends, or a Spey or Highland single malt, neat. I don't like to contaminate my liquor.

    We need more blue baggers

    My wife said the same thing about a lack of litter when we were in Scotland a couple of years ago. Even in the US there seems to be a difference between states. We stopped at a couple of rest areas in Montana and there was absolutely no trash anywhere and the restrooms were clean as could be.

    Rigby PH or Parkwest 404 Jeffery?

    I appreciate your problem, even if it way above my price point. Personally I would go Rigby but could not fault the Parkewest.

    Religions, Evolution and related Sciences

    After reading through 24 pages of this I have to throw in my 2 cents. My Grandfather was a Methodist preacher who had an incredible ability to explain these "complex" religious problems to kids and they still make sense to me today half a century later. I remember him once telling me that "you...

    on a lighter note...

    Best part of gaining rank was getting put in charge of folks who fucked up. Sergeant Major told me to "Be Creative, I don't care." I had folks swab the flight line until the water came off clean, paint pad eyes with a brush that had only 3 or 4 bristles, sharpen concertina wire, or align all...

    Concealed Carry: Your EDC

    I tote a Charter Arms Bulldog DAO 3 inch .44 Special. I was raised shooting revolvers from an early age and still, at age 61, I still prefer them. Owned and shot a freight car full of semi autos but none feel as good as an 1851 Navy, a 4 5/8 inch SAA, or my Smith Model 25.

    Ruger M77 love them or hate them?

    I have had several tang safety M77s. I preferred those to the MK2s that I have had. Having that safety right where it should be is so much more intuitive IMHO. I had owned over a dozen different ones and I never had any problems with accuracy either. My first .270 would shoot 3/4 inch groups...

    Why you dont want to hunt elephant..?

    I grew up reading Bell and Taylor, just marveling at how they described their Ivory hunting. I know that they were not hunting for trophy's, but for their livelyhood in a far different world than today. That said I doubt very much I will ever hunt an elephant unless there is a rogue circus...

    Who needs a 416 Taylor? :)

    Damn, what a deal. I told my son he needed to jump on it but he is a cro-magnon who said " Why would I need that Dad, I'm not you!" My Granddaughter wouldn't forgo her allowance for the next 2 years for me either. Seriously though, I congratulate the buyer.

    my wife and I spent 2 weeks in Scotland last year. She had geaneology to follow and we saw a bunch of countryside. Scotland seemed calm to me, even in Edinbough seemed safe and secure. However, the cab drivers told us what areas to avoid when the wife's cousins weren't there.

    How many of you DON'T mount all your trophies?

    I have never had anything done taxidermy wise. Either I was always moving, too broke to afford it, or just never caught the bug. All of my friends have many deer mounted but, to me at least, they were either poorly done or placed. Also, in my neck of the woods deer mounts are commonplace to...
