    Beretta A390? Yes, no?

    A coworker has a versamax and loves it. I have my dad's Winchester 1500 semiautomatic which I love, but it is only a 2.75" gun. I need a 3" autoloader for turkey, sandhill, pheasant, etc. I had decided on the Winchester SX4 until I found this used Beretta 390. Now I am torn on what to do. The 390 seems to be a great gun for less than a new SX4, but the SX4 seems nice too.

    Is the 390 the best of the bunch since it seems you have them all?

    Scope Mounting Gun Smiths?

    Do it yourself. Don't trust the gun stores because they also probably don't do a good job setting eye relief for YOU. I don't care how eye relief is set for the counter guy at the gun store. It needs to be right for me. The wheeler torque wrench kit with lapping bars is very nice to have along with that good level set posted above. I use them regularly and they are worth every penny. Don't use 3 year old lock tight either. Buy a new tube fairly regularly to help keep it fresh. I know when I was in the gun stores working years ago, we did the best job we knew how, but none of us was really that good. We eyeballed scopes being level and didn't use a torque wrench... You can bore sight the rifle at the range yourself for almost all rifles. Google it. Basically you put the rifle in sandbags or rest and aim it at a target looking thru the bore. Then move the scope to the center of that target without moving the rifle. Start with the target at 25 or 50 yards. Then move out.

    True story. I have some dumb dream of a 340 weatherby and this could have been it, but I have no need for another big powder eater. I need some smaller stuff if anything 🤣

    Someone buy this please...I don't need another rifle. 🤣 Get it threaded and put a self timing brake in it along with a timney trigger and I bet you have a hammer of a rifle that shoots sub moa. Both the series 1 Vanguards I loaded for shot sub MOA. This thing is an elk hammer. Someone needs it beside me.

    That is a series 1. Good guns. I had 1 that would shoot 168gr Barnes TTSX under .75 MOA. The series 1 had the nice bolts and smooth actions. Great value. GLWS

    Camping etiquette ( what's wrong with people ? )

    I am starting to head back down this path I think. I have a small toy hauler and it is nice for camping, but still requires a fair amount of work. During turkey season me and 2 boys took the tent and the truck and headed into a new area and just tent camped. I like the trailer, but some places I would like to camp a trailer just wouldn't go. So we are probably going to start mixing in the more primitive camping again.

    Onboard generator service needed

    Not really. Change the fuel filter, oil, and air filter. Maybe a new plug. Make sure you use Stabilizer in the fuel and if possible fill the generator up outside maricopa County when you are out so hopefully you can get non-ethanol fuel. Running it dry isn't a bad idea either before you store it.

    Camping etiquette ( what's wrong with people ? )

    We had it happen once years ago when it was just me and my wife with 2 dogs. We were way back in a good area and were by ourselves. There are dozens of camp site along this road for the next 2 miles, all empty. It was after dark and we are at the camp fire. Out of nowhere a guy pulls in in his mini truck with a shell camper and just stops with us dead in the headlights around the fire. He then jumps out and says something then pulls past us 30 yards, parks his truck and jumps in the back. He was an old er squirrely lookong dude. He is just outside of the firelight, so he can see us, but we can't see him. SUPER CREEPY. Like serial killer creepy. The dogs were not happy and neither were we. We packed camp very hastily and decide to just go home. We are working our way back to the highway, but we were 10 miles or more back in the Bradshaws. We had to go slow because we needed to stop near the highway to repack the stuff we just threw in the truck so we could get TF out of camp. A couple miles later, behind us we see headlights and we can't stay ahead of them, they are to fast. As they get closer I pulled off the side so they have room to pass, and I roll down my window. My wife was like WTF are doing rolling down the window? I said if I have to shoot someone a face full of my own window glass wasn't my first choice. Thankfully it was someone completely different. We haven't camped in that area since though...

  20. Hi All, I am contemplating getting a bow to take a shot at starting to bow hunt for OTC deer this year since I can't seem to get a tag. I am 6'3" with a broad chest and 78" wingspan give or take. I saw a rough formula online that said my draw length would be about 31.5". This seems to be at the ragged edge or just over the max length for normal bows. Do I need to get a longer bow? I would prefer to not spend all the extra money it seems like the longer draw length bows cost? Any recommendations on a good used bow or entry level bow that might work?

    Hunters Ed

    I asked this same question to them directly as well as way can't we have a class that we pay for to help pay instructors so we can get more classes faster. They said because of where the government funds come from to pay for the courses it is required that the class be volunteers. Otherwise they can't get the government funds for the program.

    I think they update and add classes on Tuesdays or Wednesdays so keep checking.
