Always a cool find.

Gun Control: Pointing a firearm at the intended target and squeezing the trigger to obtain a hit in the desired area. The intended target can be paper, steel, dinner, or some jackass who is about to do serious, potentially fatal harm to you or others around you. Gun Free Zones: A place where good, law abiding people are forced to congregate like lambs at the slaughter. What a bunch of dopes.

.280AI. Krieger, Brux, Bartlein, Rock Creek, Lilja, Shilen and several others. Depends on preference to Cut or Button Rifled, and if you want 5R or what? Get the right twist for the grains you want to shoot. Good bedding and trigger (Timney has a good one for the Mark II).

STT's are great tires.

I was looking at those guys on ebay. I was just kinda nervous ordering tires from Ebay. How was your experience buying them from Ebay? Well...its Discount Tires...so it is the same as the local company. In fact I paid them to do the mounting. Just lookup Discount Tires Direct on Ebay.

I have read some reviews on them that said they were pretty decent for the money. That said, I like Nitto/Toyo (I think the same parent co) and I am becoming a fan of Cooper, which my son put on his Ford. I have also had great luck with Hankook tires, though have not run their Mud Terrains.

CZ makes great rifles ... I had one in 22-250 and am kicking myself for getting rid of it. Traded for another caliber when my son got a 22-250. Dumb .... REALLY DUMB.

If they made these in a Crew Cab I'd be looking to sell what I could to get one........

I got a great deal on tires and wheels through Discount Tire Direct on Ebay. They had money back on all of it, and I ended up able to save about $600 Total over what the local stores wanted.

I just have to get it out there ... the Cardinals STINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Supreme Court appears to be safe, which is good for the 2nd. Obamacare may be a thing of the past, which would be good for us all (in the pocketbook and other ways). And maybe, just maybe, we will see some JUSTICE brought to the corruption in this country's political elite. Would be a nice thing.

Well if that little floozy Miley says she doesn't say things she doesn't mean, I hope she is packing today and getting her ticket. Influences like her on the youth of our nation we DO NOT NEED.

What are you looking for? Single Shot? Pump? 20Gauge? LOP an issue?

For the money these are hard to beat.

I'd like to invite the all to GET THE heck OUT!!! We don't want 'em. We don't need 'em. If there was any talent in the bunch, it is long since used up ... no loss to the U S of A.

You're a better man than I am. I've been bashing the Libs in my office all day.

Old Fart ... smile when you call me that son ...

Old fashioned ditch skiing .... love it.

A cousin of mine told me a story years ago about a fireman buddy who shot a deer that he ended up drowning after running it down at water. I always thought it was a BS story, but after seeing this, maybe it wasn't.

My son bought the .22-250 Super Light. First three shots in a group about the size of a dime at 50 yards. I was SUPER impressed. I am a Winchester Classic Action nut, but if I were buying something off the shelf that I was never going to modify, it would be a Tikka (or it's big brother the Sako).

Yeah ... I'd love to know the distance on the shot. Can you hit a deer sized object at some stated yardage is one thing ... can you hit them in the quick kill zone at that yardage is another. One of my sons I would let shoot farther than the other ... simply because he can put the bullet where he wants it more often than the other at yardages past a couple of hundred.

At a range ... heck I'll punch paper all day long. Rest, no rest, bench, no bench, prone, seated, whatever. The field is a different animal (pun intended) entirely. Yeah ... lots of practice and you get good at it. But the variables when you are hunting increase. You want to go out and shoot 500, 600, 1000 ... ok. It's not for me most of the time, and I'd say it's not for a majority of hunters out there, most of whom shoot less frequently than the die hards --- many of whom shoot once a year a week before the hunt. I happen to be a pretty good shot with most weapons. I didn't work at it, it came natural. Good enough though that I shot in college on a small arms rifle team. Good enough that most guys I shoot with say I am really good. I still limit myself because I know that the variables can play heck with you, and I don't like to wound things. Some people might call me over cautious ... some might call me a wuss (funny) ... but I do what I do because of the way I personally feel about it. That is self imposed. You might be one of those exceptions ... but yeah ... I'd say that a minority are really good enough to regularly shoot out in that Medium Range Category ... and the guys who can shoot 1000 and more in the field (consistently and with great confidence) are a truly rare bird. Some of them are on here ... and they have my respect. As do those guys who can truly shoot Medium Range consistently and with confidence.

I am sure there are some folks on here that ARE good to a Thousand ... former Military Snipers, maybe some LEO's that shoot for SWAT Teams, maybe some guys who have taken some courses in LR and work at it really hard. They all have top tier guns, scopes, range finders, etc. would be my bet. Fact is, most of us are good to a couple/few hundred...a minority are good 500-700...and it goes down from there. These guys that go out and shoot steel at 1000 yards need to realize that steel doesn't move a the drop of a hat. There aren't many branches, twigs or grass that can affect the path of their bullet on a range like there are in the field. Weather ... not just wind, but temperature, RH and other factors ... also affects things greatly. Taking shots that far may or may not yield results, but my bet is that for most of us it'd be a LUCKBAG shot if we got a clean kill that far away. Best case otherwise is that we miss. Worst case is that a wounded animal hightail's it out of there and we never find them ... they go off and die (what a waste). My motto is that if I don't think I can get a 1 shot kill at the range I am at, I get closer. If I blow it and spook the animal, well so be it. Ideally I'd like to get up to about 100 yards if I could ... I figure if I can do better than that with a bow, why not do it with a rifle to insure the placement of the shot. Have I shot farther ... sure. But I sure don't like to. Canyon shots if they come up ... those situations.

Not to Hijack but does anyone have experience with TriCity?

Yessir ... you should. It has served us well. Boys have gotten older and stronger ... graduated to some longer range rifles. Great little rifle ... but no takers so far.
