    Got My First Rand Hat

    I have to be in Billings for a week starting this Sunday. Monday morning I plan on going to Rands for a quick steam and re-shape of the rear brim. Always a fun place to visit.

    Hearing Aids

    I have several dozen friends that all wear hearing aids. It's been my observation that whether over the years they originally got them through work or the VA or paid for them themselves, 90% of them ultimately ended up with models from Costco. I went to a local audiologist who literally had...

    Ruger M77 Leupold rings

    What is good or bad about the .416 WBY?

    You already have a wonderful Cape buffalo rig in your .416 model 70.
