Jack, you should make sure you have a good back stop and know what is beyond the target you are shooting at.

Let me talk to my son. I would like to see him take an indoor job.

Only .5 MOA for a Benchrest rifle? What's the worst group? Post some pics of the rifle.

Fast growers but the result is they need to be thinned so they don't get too top heavy before the roots develop so thin them for the first 10 years

Those went downhill years ago. LOL

I remember when you could buy a barreled action for a song and a dance way before the long range craze happened and people were content with shooting game when 300 yards was a long poke.

Which barrel option?

This and $ 150?

Do you have a holster for it?

Super Redhawk?

Over the last few years they have never been out in a timely manner.

Well, I don't remember which radio station it was/is, but he used to do a commentary in the afternoons.

Great for close combat, if you can carry enough arrows.

Eric Goss at Axiswoks, give him a call.

I love the accuracy of the 168HPBT VLD in my 7Mag. I shot a Coues in the neck at 225 and it left a 3 1/2 hole which I thought was a bit extreme.

That Shimano is really nice and if I went more often I would definitley get one. I have a Penn GTI 340 on a Roddy Hunter I will use but I will look to rent a bigger setup to also have when I go. Biggest problem is you never know what will bite it and I could get spooled.

Lost my MAP60 so I am looking for a new GPS. It was "ok" but the screen was tiny and navigating it was a PIA. I have OnX but unless you have internet access you can't access your saved maps so you need to keep the saved map active while you still have internet access, if you close that screen you are done, at least that has been my experience.

All we ever used. You won't find a cheaper Vet, his son took over after he retired.

Call and talk to Arlette, just don't call it a "Spaniel". In the US that was dropped back in the 80's. They are just called a Brittany over here. http://www.kninebirddog.com/contact.html

What width are they and what years do they fit? DO you have the lug nuts?

I did some research and found that the norther group migrate from Japan and back and the total catch for this group seems to be about 10X the size in numbers than the southern group but I didn't find much other info on it. After doing some more digging I came upon this. https://www.fishermensnews.com/story/2013/12/01/features/california-where-have-all-the-albacore-gone/227.html

I always wondered about Restaurant Depot. I find that Food City has good prices on pork. I shop there every week.

Maybe we will have a better El Nino this year, it's weak so far but there.

Well, every once in a decade a firearm come along and is an instant classic. Nylon 66 is a good example. I bought an XP in about 88 or so in 7BR to shoot Silhouette, shot clover leafs at 100 yards when it wasn't shooting one holes. With iron sights, about as good as my TC in 223. But that had a 1.5X scope so there was an advantage. All handloads BTW. Probably paid about $300 for the XP but I had an FFL at the time.

Thanks for that input, you too BLJ. This trip was what best fit into our schedule. We are both tired of going out and just catching a few small fish but each trip is different and I know there are no guarantees. I'm pretty thick skinned but working construction for 40 years as a journeyman, a PM and a GC I have come across all types. My biggest hurdle will be to bring stout enough tackle and learn how to fish the big ones but this ain't my first rodeo and have been fishing salt water since I was 3 in the mid 50's. I'll probably rent some heavy tackle for those 50-150 pounders although I don't know what I'll do if we catch over 100#'s of fish, as unlikely as it may be. If I get one over 40 I'll be a happy camper.
