    Political? Complaining about government without naming/bashing a particular party or administration is political??? Grow a thicker skin for Christ's sake.

    Any Hunters in Here?

    March scope? My preferred long range competition scope. However, Schmidt and Bender make some eyewatering pricy optics...but outstanding. They came out with one designed for long range target shooting but only available in the European market...6.5 AMU's. My current March Majesta was 4.5...

    Any Hunters in Here?

    My first two at age 10 were 12ga 00 buckshot, full choke 32" barrel Mossberg pump. All nine pellets hit both. I got knocked on my can shooting off balance with the first shot on one that was running and came closer to hitting a migratory waterfowl than the doe. Second shot, after I remembered...

    Any Hunters in Here?

    I thought that was the .270 Win...., or was it the Rem .30-'06... now I'm just confused...LOL The wonderful thing about an iron sight lever action carbine is the short swing radius and fast action allowing you to stay on the target while charging with another round. Great in the brush while...

    Pilot threatened with arrest for helping NC victims of Hurricane Helene...excuse me?

    I've got great stories from the evacuation of Children's Hospital, N.O., in the aftermath of Katrina. My good friend, in charge of the operation on the hospital side, said FEMA was a total incompetent clown show.

    Any Hunters in Here?

    In my youth, I watched my father down plenty of pigs and whitetail with his Marlin 30-30, 150gr Core-lokt. I noticed, in a prior post, you made a comment concerning feral hogs. It is a fun and fast way to drop a few.

    Plane loaded with drugs makes emergency landing on Southern California highway

    "The occupants were acting suspicious; I smelled an odor of (fill in the blank)" etc.. With a good attorney the probable cause may get tossed in court but probably not...regardless if it is truthful observations by the arresting officers.

    What Drives Insurance Cost?

    ...and exposure. Exposure such as hull value and seat count...higher insured value and more passengers equate to higher potential payouts.

    Governor signs ban on 100LL into law

    It won't be the FBO's but their fuel distributor that will make that call. And it won't be to GAMI but to the wholesaler that blends the fuel into the final product; GAMI will license the fuel producer to blend their patented product. The FBO's may pressure the fuel distributor, with whom they...

    Swift 100R vs 100LL

    Regardless, it will be made from refined petroleum products, just like all motor gasoline. These products are combined at a blending plant (which may be remote from the refinery) to formulate the desired end product. My point is that the aromatic components used to boost the octane rating are...

    Swift 100R vs 100LL

    TEL is a very cost effective octane booster. The aromatic compounds used to make G100UL, for the most part, require more processing than just simple distillation of crude which increases cost. Yes, costs may be quite a bit disparate compared to 100ll upon first adoption at FBO's and this may...

    Does anyone wear out their exercise equipment?

    My first wife wore out the foam on the handgrip of her treadmill. Turns out, coat hangers are tough on that foam.... Current wife wanted a treadmill and, since I knew she was serious about using it long term, I spent the $$$$ on a True commercial unit. That thing has been moved twice in the...
