We don't get 40 hours of work done anyway. We sit in the office for 8 hours mindlessly playing on our phone or shopping on Amazon on work computers for half of it...or at least just staring at the screen daydreaming. Management believes in 40 hours because that's just what is engrained in the...

Slowly and surely we were slipping backwards 100 years for worker rights and along came covid. It came at a critical time and it will have lasting effects, some good some bad; mostly good. The time for the 32 hour week is now. Research backs it up. The time for mandatory vacation is long...

A lever action 243 will work but imo you aren't going to get 300 yards out of it on a coyote size target due to a heavier trigger and forarm pressure on the barrel. But I think 150 yards is certainly very doable and 200 not out of the question depending on the shooter. I think the only ones...

Imo it all came down to - it is cheaper to produce the matte scope. Likewise, the same with the rifle barrel. Matte blue barrel, matte scope is what you want. Brightly blued barrel, I want to seek out a gloss scope to match. My Browning BLR would look horriffic with a matte. As to spooking big...

Like you I have mine mounted laying on a log. I had a cat specialty taxidermist i wanted to use and didn't want to spend $1200 for a side view sneak pose. In retrospect, I wish I had done so. I vote

If I'm not mistaken, the spacing on that J series is 4.522 inches

On the long actions (or the old SA cartridge on the LA gun), I do think a 1 piece weaver style multi-slot mount is nessissary as the savage LA is longer than its competitors. I have tried to use a 2 piece extention before and it wasn't even close - one of my rings are mounted in the center of...

Pic? Is the magazine release button on the side of the stock?

3x3 overtime hockey and no fighting. Serouisly, the NHL is almost completely unwatchable

What action do you have? Buying a brand new barrel and dumping the old on ebay may just be the best thing.

Included is field prep and transportation of trophies. Are the hides and skulls included on the management animals?

Depends. You go after big elk, big moose, bison, etc - you will be just fine. I assume your concern is with brown bear? There may be some who wouldn't take it brown bear hunting, but the reality is (in my opinion) a bolt action is going to jam due to user error as opposed to a factory flaw. The...

So bizarre. When I dropped mine off about 8 years ago, they gave me a receipt in writing exactly what they diagnosed (trigger pull at x) and exactly what the fix was (trigger pull now at x) @JimP was this at the Arnold Missouri location?

I would demand to know what is wrong with the rifle before receiving it back. Otherwise they could end up with an unfixable rifle that they would have to unethically dump on someone. Might be worth exploring their "coupon" Yep, they are right down the road from browning and have former...

I see the 6.5 Creedmoor as a "pop culture" cartridge, and I have no use for that when the 260 rem already exists. While invented to be a long range target cartridge, its popularity is really due to the light recoil suitable for youth hunters where parents want better performance than the 243 but...
