    Taking a Knee...

    This is all a result of not allowing glass beer bottles into the stadium. Now when they do something stupid, there is nothing good and solid to throw at useless pricks!

    Cell phone signal boosters

    I had one in a work truck that worked very well. Don't remember the brand but I believe it was a little over $600. Used a cheap one in another truck that wasn't worth a crap.

    Honda Vs. Champion Generator

    Get the Honda if you just want one that works.

    Thieves among us.

    I would worry far less in the border units than any northern unit. I've seen more stuff stolen in the 5's, 6's, & 7's than anywhere else.

    Camp Showers

    Used a little zodi last year. Had to let it recirculate for about 20 min in a 5 gal bucket but once it warmed up it was way better than a two min shower in a camp trailer.

    Sig Sauer scopes

    I just put one on a 17 hornet. Sig Whiskey 4-12x40 I believe. For the price I'm not unhappy. Decent glass & turret's reset to zero, haven't played with tracking much yet though.

    You can beat the Ruger to death and it will still work!

    After ladder test

    I would keep the charge the same and load several 3 shot groups at different lengths.

    Wtb Heritage Arms 22/22mag

    I would highly recommend getting a Ruger instead. Both heritage pistols I've shot had the cylinders out of time and shot lead fragments out from between the cylinder & barrel. Powder would blacken your hand also.

    Lead Sled DFT or DFT2

    If you want it to keep a heavy recoiling rifle from beating you up they are awesome. If your just wanting a rock solid rest a good bipod and rear bag is better.

    25-06 loads

    Depends on what you want to do with it for a deer load 100 gr Swift Scirocco over Rl-22 in Nosler brass and fed 210 primers. I've done well with the 117 Hornady SST, and 115 Nosler Ballistic tip also.

    Long range scopes

    I've seen the old vx-6 3-18x50 non hds for under 1000 in a couple places. Decent glass for the price. I also had the vx-3i 6.5-20x50 the parallax adjustment wasn't all it could be. If it were my choice I would save a couple hundred more $ and go with a Swaro Z5 5-25, Ziess conquest Hd 5 5-25, or a Leica Er5 4-20.

    Newbie Rifle Choices

    I would find the cheapest used rifle in whatever caliber it happens to be and buy the best scope he can possibly afford. I've seen a few howa's for around $275. On the scope I wouldn't consider anything under like a Ziess Terra, Leupold Vx-3 in 3-9 to 4-12. Caliber would be the last thing I would consider so long as you pick one that has good ammo selection, between 6.5 & 30 Cal.

    Berger bullets on Coues...

    Only reason we used the rifle load combo on that hunt was my brothers 6.5-300 wby decided to badly misbehave. Went from shooting 3/4 moa to minute of hillside. I've never really had alot of interest in the Berger hunting bullets mainly because of their own advertising. Sheds 40% to 90% of it's weight didn't sound very reliable to me. Sounds alot like may explode and may not. My go to hunting bullet is the Swift Scirocco II. The few I've recovered from animals have all expanded over 2 1/2 x the original diameter while retaining 80% to 90% of their weight. With the exception one fairly poorly placed bullet on a cow elk everything hit has crumbled in it's tracks. The cow was hit in the liver and made it about 50 yds and crashed. Ive used Barnes tsx & ttsx, Nosler partition, Hornady sst, Remington core lok, and a few other with less than satisfactory results or out right failures, but have zero complaints on the Swift

    Berger bullets on Coues...

    Only Berger I've ever seen used was a 80 gr Vld target fired from my 22-250 AI started at 3420 fps. 590 yd shot the bullet exited and looked like a 4x4 would fit in the wound channel.

    6.5 Creedmoor for elk?

    Norma loads the 130 Scirocco for the Creedmoor.

    6.5 Creedmoor for elk?

    The 6.5 would not be my first choice, but if your choices are a 6.5 he's comfortable behind or a 300 he's not go with the 6.5. The bullet I would go with would be the 130 Swift Scirocco. They work! I've used them on game out to 700 yds and recovered them from wet newspaper at 1000 yds they always open, expand 2.5x, and retain 70 to 90% weight. The BC isn't bad either .570 ish I believe.

    Fishing Outfit Rant

    It sucks that you lost out on your trip and for a reason that you had no control over, but it wasn't their fault either. May not seem fair for you to have pay for a trip you didn't get, but no less fair than their business eating the entire bill for something that wasn't their fault. In your rant you said they were only concerned about money. Well what did you lose besides money? You traded some money for a chance to protect your kids. Doesn't sound like a bad trade to me!

    Ram DEF Issue's

    Just had a 2013 Cummins that kept doing the same thing. Dealer reset it a few times and said I had bad Def. It got more common till I couldn't get 100 miles from the dealership before it would be going in to limp mode again. They put some sensor in it and it did it again. They ended up replacing the Def pump. Seems to have worked. Something about not pumping consistent pressure and making bubbles in the fluid or some crap.

    Barometric Pressure on Shooter App

    If you check pressure is absolute then it cancels out the other information. I use the reading from my 1600B and has been spot on.
