these are really nice sheds . here locally they are nicknamed " Amish sheds ". it seems to be the Amish that build them around here . my Mom bought one for a garage , I'll guess it's 18 x 36 . it's her garage , and shed , all in one . a few years ago , I was gifted one from my neighbor...

I would not base my bullet choice on one kill .

I've always found reading primers to not be very accurate . I like to use bolt lift . when you start to notice he bolt lift on a fired round to take more effort , it's time to back off . another is velocity . if you have published data and a chronograph , you can work towards the book max...

here is the latest info I've found . https://www.outdoornews.com/2026/10/29/pennsylvania-elk-guides-charged-with-trespassing-after-killing-of-possible-state-record-bull/

ignition problems with the W760 powder could be from using a standard primer . ball powders should use a mag primer . I'd guess that needing to use the small rifle primer would only make this more of a problem . I'm thinking W760 might be slow for these lighter bullets too . I stumbled...

good job , I try to point them out too .

thank you , lots of good info in your post . I know I don't have enough for LSB to be interested . I was more thinking of the guy with the big collection of REMs , I know . I doubt he'd let them take them before being paid though . also hard to imagine a bunch of dumpster items turning...

when I go I'm not going to worry about my stuff . I don't want to leave a major mess , and clean out for my son . I'm sure he'd appreciate an empty house and a stack of cash, regardless of size , in that shoebox .

there is nothing not to like about a Tikka rifle .

thanks Fellas , I'm a proud Dad . the rut is about to be in full swing in my area , and it is archery season for a couple more weeks . "IF" we get called out to track any wounded deer , I'll get a couple pics to share on here . I'm hoping we do get called out , I enjoy watching her work .

this sure sounds like a smart and easy way to handle things . not that it really matters , but , about how long did this whole process take ? do you remember about what the selling % was ? I'd like to have everything taken care of BEFORE I go . at my end, I'd like to be living so meager...

this morning me and Sally went out checking our trapline . there was a place I wanted to put a couple K9 sets in , so I carried all that stuff in too . I get to putting in my first set , and she comes back with a leg bone . pretty soon her she came with another bone , and laid by me a...

it seems a lot of competition shooters use the Kowa brand . it must be a good spotter . in my pistol box I had a mini Burris spotter , it worked great back then . it might not be so good now . with me having 15 or 20 more birthdays , I'm sure things have changed . a lot of these...

I know a guy that has all but one of the REM 700 classic . I forget the one he doesn't have . if they offered it with different BBL lengths , he has them . most are new , never fired , in the box . he has lofts built that hang from his basement ceiling . it's quit a collection .the ones...

"IF" you're doubting the scope , change it out . without a good scope everything else is meaningless .
