    Where to get meat pies in the USA?

    I don't make pasties, but I do make chicken and mushroom pie, which I guess is similar ingredients just not hand held. Easy to make and I have yet to meet anyone who did not love it.

    Quick Release / Quick Disconnect Scope Mounts - Do You Use Them?

    I use them everywhere. Even rifles with no open sights. Once setup they are just as good as fixed in my opinion, and I have so many backup scopes it’s easy for me to swap.

    Inconsistency and Hypocrisy in What Is Enough Gun for Large Animals

    I have zero dog in this fight but I have always scratched my head when someone claims a smaller cartridge is the “perfect” women/youth gun for the same animal the guy needs a 577 Tyrranasaur for. Dunno…

    Do you have your ideal rifle or are you still looking for it?
