    I am not picking on your post, but since I think I am the only left-leaning Jew on here, this was just a convenient place for me to jump into the conversation. I do think you are speaking a little too broadly when you criticize Democrats. There are many Democrats in Congress who are and have...

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    I have purchased only one Rolex in my life and mercifully it was a vintage model so I did not have to go through the same rigmarole. Omega is plenty nice for me.

    Storing rifles

    I usually apply a good coat of renaissance wax to any gun that will be left untouched for a while, and I frequently take most of my guns out just because I like to, so I have never had a problem with oil damaging the stock.

    Any gin drinkers here?

    Did not expect to see Deaths Door get recommended but it is one of my personal favorites any time I go up to Wisconsin. Although I know they got bought out and cannot speak to recent quality. I am quite fond of a Negroni or gin martini (made with Lillet instead of vermouth, and no vodka in...

    Checking back in

    Hello all. It has sure been a while since I last logged on here, though not from a lack of interest. I was treated for lymphoma a few years ago, and everything seemed to be back to normal, but then I started having the worst chest pain. I initially wrote it off as acid reflux, which has always...

    But does he have COVID?

    I am one of the staunchest critics of Trump and I do not believe even half of what Woodward has claimed about him over the last two years, so forgive me for not jumping at another shocking "revelation" from this man as he publicizes his latest book.

    With regard to the newest revelations from the upcoming Woodward book, I would not waste too much time and energy thinking about it. It seems every month now he drops an even more salacious tale to hawk his latest book. What are we up to now, 4 in the last three years?

    1st rifle for grandson

    I also love my 6mm AI. Let the kid carry the heavy rifle, he is young and can manage it, plus it will be good exercise and keep him from becoming adverse to heavier guns.

    1st rifle for grandson

    I am late to the discussion, but I am of the opinion that a pellet gun followed by a .22 is always the best place to start. For hunting, a 6mm Rem would be a good choice. Another option could be finding the heaviest rifle possible. Something like a M40A1 should weigh 12-15 lbs which would make...

    Would you like a Cigar?

    Hopefully I will be able to find a cigar that will completely replace cigarettes for me. I just do not think I can pull off a pipe. I have been dry for the past week, but I had a craving for a Rob Roy and cigar, so that is what I enjoyed watching the bats fly overhead tonight.

    Best barrels?

    Weatherby has been using Krieger barrels on some special Accumark models.

    As Sestoppelman said, cleaning house is a common and acceptable practice for the new administration.

    Politics

    When I say extreme, I am referring to political positions that are more in line with fringe support than mainstream. But you are correct, my word choice here was poor. Lowering the tax burden for all is the goal, but creating a tangled mess of tax codes is not the way to do it. Rather, we...

    Best barrels?

    Lilja and Krieger seem to always be mentioned in the same breath during discussions of the best barrels for custom builds, with Bartlein, Douglas, and Shilen close seconds.
