It’s funny you say that, my dad had a hankering to get a “long range rifle”. I told him whatever you do don’t buy a Christensen, and if you’re gonna buy one, for the love of god don’t buy a used one. About a month later he calls and said he bought a used Christensen. It didn’t shoot worth a crap. He sold it for a $300 loss and I built him a rifle out of some odds and ends parts that’s the best shooting rifle I’ve ever seen for about $600 more then he paid for the Christensen

I remember as a kid going into Scheels and seeing a Christensen Arms “Carbon Cannon” for sale. Had to have been in the mid 90’s. I think back then they were a legit custom gun. They were $2499 (a ton of money back then). I remember thinking “man if I work my but off and get a good job, maybe someday I’ll have me one of those”.

I never had trouble getting my dads to group, it was just really inconsistent. You could take it out and shoot a .75 MOA group and have it dead on, and then take it out a month or two later and it would be an inch low and a couple inches left. I think it’s the cheap stocks and barrels reacting to temp and humidity but could be wrong. My brother had one and it was the same way.

My dad had one. Stock split in half. Cheap plastic. I’ve seen guys rebarrel and restock them and have decent luck with them, but if you’re doing that you might as well spend $300 more and get a good quality built action.

That’s the problem. You feel like it’s got to be one or the other. There are other options and that sentiment you carry is what’s driving this country apart as those two options are both pandering so hard to the far left and far right that neither is what’s best for this country. We need a return to center, and the first party of the big two to get there is gonna win it. I was convinced it would be the left seeing they had to become more moderate, but now I’m pretty confident Trump and his associates have gotten so far out of touch with the middle ground voters that the Republican Party might realign in the post Trump era. It just depends on how many mindless Trumpers are left out there and if the actual Republican Party can win it back. If they can’t, it’ll be a blue wave for the foreseeable future. EDIT: I didn’t answer your question, no I don’t think things would be better with Harris. I can’t think of a single thing that Trump has ACTUALLY done that had benefited me personally (this sounds selfish but we all have to address how we feel from our point of view). Most of my investments are Ag and Oil and gas related as that’s where I live, and he’s absolutely devastated both of those economies. I know with gas over $4 you’d think that oil and gas would be doing great, but things are just in a standstill right now in the oil field as they don’t trust him at all to not completely dump them about the time things level off. Interest is way to high for investment into such an up and down market. Trump yet again raised my taxes personally. In 2020 it cost my wife and I over $30k directly due to his corporate tax breaks as he laid it heavy on the upper middle earners to make up for it. His tariffs have done zero good, DOGE did absolutely nothing (Elon and his fall out is the obvious proof of that, one thought things were gonna happen and the other knew they weren’t but did it as yet another publicity stunt). My taxes stayed level under Biden. Oil and gas and Ag ALWAYS do better under a democrat. I’ve always considered myself moderate but fiscally conservative, but if this is the new conservative, I need to realign my priorities I guess as spending has only increased. National debt has increased at a rate that’s unprecedented, and I’m paying more and more every year we have Trump in the office to fund it all. I’m f’ing sick of it.

Just because we had one sh!tty president don’t mean we needed to elect a second one right after him. Just because one sucked doesn’t make the other one sucking any better. We’ve gotta get together as a country and get back to middle ground. I think there’s a lot more of us out there then CNN and FOX news will allow us to believe

The gas prices aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Doesn’t matter what happens in Iran, be ready for $5 fuel through the end of hunting season. The markets are so far detached from what the average American has going on in their life anymore.

This thing is awesome.

I actually had 7-8 moose points for a while and walked away from them when they went to $100 on them years ago. Kept my sheep points, cuz sheep are life, and I’ve killed 2 Shiras already and don’t have much use for another one. I’m pretty positive they’ll go to a weighted lottery on moose and sheep before long so my 18 sheep points might someday do me some good. It’s a risk I’m willing to take to get another sheep tag!

Awesome! I had a tag in there years ago when it was A Plus. Had cat mountain. Killed a nice buck, but honestly was eying the public around it wishing I could hunt over there!!

What antelope tag did you get?

That was a well timed news release. Some big changes on the horizon in NM I think. Mainly with the E Plus system, I don’t think it’ll affect the current NR allocation through the public draw.

I told myself I’m not buying any more random crap I don’t need and I’m standing by that statement!!

All of CWT is classifieds as of late, so it’s a good spot for it. Also, is this still available?

Been watching the radar from up here in ND all morning!
