    Muzzleloader information for beginners

    Yeah I heard the cci were comparable. I’ll have to try those if I can’t get the 209a. Supposedly match grade figures the head space based on the federal. Wouldn’t think that would be much different?

    Just ordered a 45 cal barrel from match grade for my Thompson frame. I plan on going with the Arrowhead XLDs and sizing to bore. The Blackhorn seems to have become more available but 209a primers are a little tough to get it seems

    Outdoorsman Carbon Tripod

    I started dealing with Outdoorsman back in the 80s when Floyd ran that little shop on Cavecreek with no employees. Since then I’ve dealt with probably half a dozen or more employees over the years and never got an arrogant feel, confident definitely! I guess I could see a thin skinned customer mistaking confidence for arrogance

    They’ve been talking about that for over a decade I believe

    I will gladly accept being wrong on this topic. Hope it happens!

    Outdoorsman Carbon Tripod

    It’s possible that the margins from a percentage standpoint are similar between this tripod and a slik considering a slik is probably put together for about $4 by a Thai laborer

    Yeah who knows? Will be interesting to see how they sell considering that’s just the tripod and no head but like someone else said they will sell just because “Outdoorsman” is stamped on them.

    Outdoorsman Carbon Tripod

    I’ve packed an Outdoorsman tripod around all over the place for like 22 years and it still works like it did when new. They build a solid product and I don’t think they’ll have any problem selling them

    36B didn't disappoint!

    Great looking mount! Congrats again on a great buck no matter the measurement! By the way nets are for fish!

    Just bought a Traeger and really?

    Make sure rodents aren’t starting to build a nest in the burner pot. I have never vacuumed out ours but early on it wouldn’t burn so I had to pull it apart and found a nest built. Had to screen every hole that would let a critter get in.

    Scope question

    I did the same. P-223. Good scope for the money. I think I heard Nikon wasn’t building rifle scope any longer though?
  17. Off of a 2018 2 seater with 1800 miles. Upgraded to the SuperAtvs so I could run 30s. Nothing wrong with these. $250

    Wisconsin AEN motor

    For anyone interested in this. It was on a pump jack on the ranch decades ago. Couple years ago I dumped a little gas in the carb and it fired on first crank so has compression and spark but the float bowl gasket needs replaced for sure so can’t put gas in the tank. I don’t have time to mess with it. Seen them on eBay so they have some value. Any interest message me and we’ll talk. So. Az.

    Hey bigmalcom, my inbox said 6% but I erased all. Tried to message you and said you cannot accept any messages. Try me again. I’d say $125 is fair based on what I’ve seen but haven’t done a lot of research. Let me know

    LTB long range rifle/package or help getting mine dialed in

    I don’t know of one of those that won’t shoot. I put one together for my wife a few years ago to see how cheap I could do it. I put epoxy and a couple steel rods in the fore end and steel for added weight in butt. Shaved the plastic that touches the barrel on the left side ( of hers), took 3/4 coil off the trigger spring and it is a tack driver. No problem out to 700. I shot it out to just less than 1000 and was amazed at how accurate it was.
