    What do you use for a truck gun?

    Currently, a home built M4 if I want to have a long gun with me, occasionally a .35rem lever gun. What I really want is a Krinkov. I need to get a pistol and apply for a stamp to SBR it.. It would be my ideal truck gun though.

    New to hunting

    My personal preference for anything larger than a Mule Deer is 7mm mag. But I also reload all of my hunting ammo, and will use 7mm mag on deer as well, but will typically down load to something more akin to 7mm-06.. I like to preserve meat. Many people out there are convinced that .223 is...

    New to hunting

    My one suggestion would be to start small and work your way up.. Jumping in with both feet into an elk hunt can quickly result in feelings of discouragement. Elk are no easy game to go after. Steven Rinella even mentions in one of his podcasts that he would direct a new hunter to first go...

    Why do I want APRS???

    Well, I bit the bullet and jumped into APRS with both feet. I went out and bought a Yaesu FTM-400XDR and installed it in my truck with a dual-band larsen NMO antenna. APRS has been somewhat helpful actually already. I like to go hiking and hunting on my own and it gives my other half...

    New HAM

    So I finally got around to taking my test last saturday and passed. I got lucky I think, I studied a bunch for the test two years ago and then chickened out and never took the test. I spent a total of maybe 4 hours studying and taking practice exams and went to the test last minute and luckily...

    WreckDiver's long-term Sig Sauer P320 review thread

    Very nice. I have a few sigs (P239, 228, 226, 220) and I love them all. The 320 is on my short list of new handguns I am interested in. The trigger is very nice on the 320, much better than some of the other factory triggers I have on other striker fired guns. Congrats on the new...

    Do you feel the need to be unarmed and defensless while camping?

    BTW.. Diane Feinstein actually has a CCW permit for the state of California. She is the typical elitist where she is good enough to have a means to protect herself, but she feels nobody else is. She is vehemently anti-gun for the masses that she serves, but not for herself and her peer...

    Pics of your favorite fly water

    There was a beaver keeping me company while I was relaxing on the water. This is 15mins from home which is nice. Sent from my mobile communicator device.

    Do you feel the need to be unarmed and defensless while camping?

    I challenge any and all of you to read this paper published by John Lott. There are data points and references for you to check if you want to as well. It is a very well thought out paper and puts the polarizing topic of gun control into easily understandable data...

    Do you feel the need to be unarmed and defensless while camping?

    A lot of this is just round and round bantering saying the same thing.. What it really boils down to is not a "gun" problem, it is a "violence" problem. Violence and violent people have always existed. John Lott is an intelligent person by many peoples standards, and he was the one coined...

    I don't think you will have any issues with the Colorado. By the time the diesels hit the US market, the chassis will have been out for a couple of years, as such the bugs will be all but taken care of by then. Also with the Diesel, its not a new design. Its been around for ages, its just...

    Do you feel the need to be unarmed and defensless while camping?

    If it is not working, then please explain to me how historical gun violence is on the decline, not the rise??? https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8

    Do you feel the need to be unarmed and defensless while camping?

    In response to your comment about having to have training to own and carry a gun, I would like to ask you a simple question. Do you feel any apprehension whatsoever when you are around a police officer that is armed? Uniformed or not, on duty or off? The reason why I ask you this is simple...

    Do you feel the need to be unarmed and defensless while camping?

    But your desire to own and ride a motorcycle is a privilege, not a constitutional right, that specifically states "Shall not be infringed" The fact that people speed is not a reason for tossing speed limits aside, because law abiding citizens follow the speed limit. Those same law abiding...

    Thanks! I haven't done much yet. Im still searching for a used topper that I like that isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg for. Once I get that I will be building a removable sleeping and storage platform that I will be able to slide out and hoist up tight against the ceiling in my...

    Do you feel the need to be unarmed and defensless while camping?

    And this is why I respect your point of view more than others. You just flat out get it. I have been in armed robbery situations where I was unarmed and felt like nothing more than a defenseless trapped rat waiting to be exterminated. It was a terrible feeling and one that I never want to...

    Flashlight

    A good test of flash lights is to put them in the freezer for a couple of days.. I have an outdoor freezer that is set at -20F, and I found that I had one WML that got very dim at those temps. It was an InForce.. Then again, I live where it can potentially get close to that cold and I visit...
