    Jim The Tikas shoot good still their no target rifle but then neither is the Marlin but better than most non target rifles. If you want to get it to shoot bed it in a better stock and do some sear and trigger work on it, if the barrel is light weight sporter have someone flute the barrel that...

    .22 Mag for Coyote Protection

    A .22mag will drop a steer for slaughter like a box of rocks out of a 18" rifle barrel but out of a pistol I don't know. My old Ruger .22 single six convertible would shoot .22 Special ammo into tiny groups all day long and spray .22 magnums that the cylinder was designed for. If I had to carry...

    Jim I know only too well about finicky high dollar .22 target pistols. Thats why I shared the info on the CCI ammo. This could only get worse since the brand has been sold to an off shore company. One of the reasons we have had so much trouble getting powder and primers since nothing is made in...

    Buying a car

    The finance manager's desktop was a touch screen that you signed all the documents electronically and they sent you a text message with zip file attachments with the electronic paperwork so you can print it off or save to your computer.

    Jim if you have the new light blue box CCI standard ammo it isn't as good as the old dark blue box. Could be what your accuracy problem is. Try a different brand like SK standard plus,ELY or Norma Tac standard velocity.

    Buying a car

    Thanks for all the replies. Vince, I do tend to beat up the salespersons also but don't make them wait several days but tend to walk out on them and make them follow me out the door if we can't come to an agreement, getting the sales manager involved. Dan, salesmen and Lawyers are the worst...

    Buying a car

    Well after driving a Chevy Equinox for14 years plus 177474 miles I decided it was time to let it go since it needed tires possible wheel bearings and front-end alignment. It has 19" tires on it that cost $200 a piece so I was looking at $800 in tires and another $1200 in repairs if nothing else...

    .338 Cartridges: What have played with? Which do you prefer?

    That will work, nice looking rifle. May want to look into a different recoil pad for it if you're felling it after 20 rounds down range. Don't want to develop a flinch.;)

    230 gr 45 ACP... 1000 fps?

    I'm thinking a Les Bare 6" Monilif with a compensator would be the ticket to shoot these loads in with a 23lb recoil spring. The weight would cut down the recoil some and the compensator would control the muzzle jump. Winchester came out with a 45 acp magnum and Desert Eagle made a pistol to...

    230 gr 45 ACP... 1000 fps?

    Guy Thanks for sharing the info. Now I'm not downing what you have written here and no flames are intended. It's well known I only shoot target loads out of my 45acps. To shoot loads 1000fps or faster a lot of things have to be considered, such as age and manufacture quality of the 1911used...

    What time do you retirees get up?

    I haven't used an alarm clock forever though I do have one beside my bed so I know if I need to get up when I wake up. The internal clock has always gotten me up on time starting back for as long as I can remember. I normally go to bed around 23:00hrs and I'm awake around 0400-0500. Here of late...

    Damage Deer Down

    Great story and happy to hear you weren't injured in your hill side slip and slide. It can be very scary at our age when we slip and start sliding down hills out of control. 10 years ago I had a similar experience hunting Elk but there was no snow on the ground. The ground just gave out under...

    Old 20 gauge.

    Beautiful little shot gun. Europe would have said you should have got a Fox. (lol) Always loved those little shot guns and could shoot the heck out of them. I guess the factory stock just fit me right being right-handed. My dad had one but was in 12ga and would lock it up when we would go bird...

    Thank You

    Back in December I was gifted a Mec Grabber 76 12ga reloading press, I posted here for information about an operator's manual since the press has been updated by MEC with different parts that my press doesn't have or they look different. and the new` manual is different. NY Dan replied he had...
