    Looking for a base camp tent

    This model. http://www.kodiakcanvas.com/10-x-14-ft-flex-bow-vx-tent/ I bought mine on Amazon from the manufacturers site. The price was better than retail. I also bought a bunch of Amazon gift cards from frys to get fuel points. Even if the gift cards are only 2x points that is over a $1.00 off per gallon on fuel. I got it during 4x points, and my truck will hold all 35 gallons of fuel. I saved $70 in diesel fuel from the gift card points.

    Looking for a base camp tent

    If you get the Kodiak pay the money for the one with the big side windows. I have the one in the middle with the top vents, but when I went camping when it was warm out I really wished I had gotten the model with the big side windows.

    Looking for a base camp tent

    During javelina season we had 3 adults in my 10x14 Kodiak. It wasn't bad at all. 4 adults is about the most that would be comfortable, but still be snug. 2 of the adults on this trip are larger than normal humans though so that is part of the reason it was snug. I am 6'4" 300lbs and sleep on an XL cot. If you are normal size, and sleep in a bag on the ground you would probably have no issues with 4-5 people.

    I have a Kodiak Canvas 10x14 and love it. You can't use a wood stove in it, but you can use the propane heater.

    SOLD...Smith and Wesson 686-5 .357

    686's are really nice pistols. Someone who needs a nice wheel gun needs to jump on this.

    Termite Experts?

    If you decide to try and do it yourself I can lend you the hammer drill, bits, paint pot, and blower nozzle. You would need an air compressor and depending on how big the house is, some extra air hoses.

    Decision help please

    7.62x39 or 6.5 Grendel. I say 7.62x39 because ammo is cheap. It is like having a 300 blackout but being able to afford to shoot it.
  10. I am an oddball and have already figured out and acquired what I plan to be the first rifles for my two boys (5 and 2). 1 is a 6.5x55 sporterized mauser, and the other is a Ruger M77 in 7x57 mauser. I like the old school rounds, and things that are different than the norm.

    Termite Experts?

    Not strikeforce. I did my last termite treatment myself. You can buy termidor online or at some local pest control shops around town. I have a concrete hammer drill so that part was free. I did have to figure out a way to pump the chemical in the holes. The answer was a paint sprayer pot from harbor freight and an air compressor. I bought an air blow gun with 18" wand to use to inject it in the hose. If you have dirt around the house you just dig trenches and pour in 5 gallon buckets of chemicals you mix up from the concentrate. I did a 1300 sqft house with a helper in about 5hrs. 3/4 of the perimeter is concrete so it was alot of drilling.

    25-06 loads

    115gr Berger and 117gr Hornady BTSP are what my 257 weatherby like. 25 cal is a sweet little round that will get it done.

    6.5x55 Ammo FS

    I just bought a bulk of various ammo for 6.5x55. I am going sell some or all of the ammo pictured. If you are interested in a certain type or everything make me a fair offer. Update: Federal is sold. PPU is sold pending meet up next week. If something changes I will bump the thread and let you know what is still available. Harley

    New shocks

    Forget about Rancho's unless you are going to pay the big dollars for the adjustable series, then maybe. Bilstein 5100's is what I run, and recommend when people ask me.

    .257 Roy Loads

    Find your load and sight your rifle in for about 225 yards or so. With that kind of zero you should be point of aim in the kill zone to at least 300. The round shoots so flat it is awesome.

    heart broken

    4x12x40 would fit pretty well for a 3006 I think. For a good budget friendly scope that gets it done I like the Redfield revolution series. They are made by Leupold in Oregon. I really like there hold over reticle. I currently have 4 of these scopes and like them all. My buddy has 1 on his 3006 and we have stretched it out to 500 yards with no problems. If you want to pay for a nicer scope by all means do, but don't overlook this one if this is your budget price range.

    .257 Roy Loads

    I have had great luck with the 117gr Hornady BTSP for a cheaper target and shorter range hunting round. My gun likes them better than Nosler Ballistic tips and better than SST's. Berger have been the best followed by the Hornady 117gr BTSP.

    6.5 x 55

    Just keep it, and shoot it. Someone is going to get a nice deal otherwise.

    .257 Roy Loads

    If you want the actual recipe pm me and I will go find it. The 7mm brass will give slightly less case capacity vs weatherby brass, but it is alot cheaper if you don't have weatherby brass. It also comes up shorter I the neck area so trimming for length isn't necessary often. I have used 264 win mag brass too, but the 7mm Rem mag brass seems to last longer for some reason. The 264 brass was winchester and lasted about 4-5 loadings. The 7rm brass is remington and is doing better. The primer pockets are usually what goes. Sometimes a neck split. I am not loading super hot either. I found a good load that has shot well and didn't monkey with it. I figure sub-moa at 500 yards is perfectly acceptable for a stock weatherby vanguard with 3x9 scope.
