    Your First Big Game Rifle?

    First was a Model 70 Featherweight for $269 from a Yellow Front that I kept for a few years and gave it to one of my brothers. Then I bought a BAR in 300 Win and sold it because it would jam on eject even after going back to the factory. After that I Bought a Stainless Composite ADL in 7 Mag the first year they came out in the early 90's and to this day it is my main big game rifle. It always shot close to MOA even with handloads. In 2018 I put a Mavvers stock on it and it now shoots close to .5 MOA with hundreds of rounds down the pipe. As soon as I bought it I sent it to Gander Mountain and gad the trigger set to 3#'s and had a muzzle break put on it. The original VXII in 4-12 was replaced in 2014 with a Zeiss Conquest 3x15 and in 2018 with a Swarovski 3x18.

    7mm mag

    I have a 700 that is almost 30 years old and put a Manners stock on it and had it bedded. With 168 Berger HSM that shoots .5 MOA out to 400 yards which is all I have taken it to so far.

    7mm mag

    Perfectly capable of every bit of 1000 yards. I watched a guy take a Bull at 885 a couple of years ago with a 6.5 PRC that went 20 yards and fell over.

    Crazy guy at Usery

    It is now. It wasn't so for decades and most only spoke of their time over there with brothers who were there too. Much like solders of wars past.

    Maybe someone used Red Loctite on it?

    And there are more out there than people realize. Lets face it, Trump is very polarizing. What surprises me is this Vets view on the Second Amendment.

  16. Now that my ankle is caput I am thinking that maybe I should file for short term disability. I have two weeks of vacation and a few sick days I can use but after that I can also work from home but might not be able to get my 40 in each week and it looks like I could potentially be out for 6-8 weeks. I'm sure someone has probably filed for it, any guidance would really be appreciated. I was also told maybe I should file for time off under the Family Leave Act. I'm pretty sure my company is going to treat me fairly but I would like to know what my options are and would like to be able to hold on to my vacation if possible since I have already been out a week but the office hasn't talked to me about filing for disability or anything yet. I don't want to miss out on any opportunities or loose too much pay. Thanks

    Very interesting story behind the two raisings of the flag and how they came to get the second one and take the famous picture.

    Advice wanted - crazy gun sale

    I'm sure she is wondering what his state of mind was or if he mentioned something she could relate too and wanting some closure. You might want to ask her not to contact you and your're sorry for her loss and leave it at that. I imagine a lot of things are going through your mind.
