Sorry and to clarify, was something more recent than the Gotland one you mentioned in 2005. I was deep down a rabbit hole when South Korea offered boats to Canada in the last few months looking at all manner of diesel and AIP boats.

I choose to believe that Kelsey Grammar does have Welcome Aboard tattooed on his penis.

Mostly stuff that had just trickled out on Navweaps and industry news and the like, but if you have the team you do they should have tangential awareness - it's popped up enough over the years and I don't think it's particularly contentious at this point. Last one I think related to an SSBN was...

The Ohio class has been "sunk" in exercise by conventionally powered boats on a number of occasions, Swedes, Norwegians, and Canadians. Most of the mythos of being undetectable is driven by Tom Clancy, not reality. I have little doubt that contemporary Russian gear can detect an Ohio if its in...

At least one supporter here. For a reasonable hunting shot at buff, I would happily shoot a trap door safe 45-70 at ~1650 and not think twice. If you said I had to shoot quartering toward with no PH in reserve I might reconsider, but I'd reconsider with most cartridges as well.

The same, left eye dominant, mount rifles with my left shoulder. I still run the bolt with my left, just drop the rifle and cant it slightly. No issues

Even fancy bullets aside, I wouldn't hesitate whapping a buffalo with a 45-70 and 405 Corelokts if it were permitted and everyone was on the same page. It's .458 and it will go through 18" tree trunks at 50 yards. It will do the job. Not a stopping rifle, that's why the PH carries one, I suppose.

Please enjoy your time. And keep us informed of the outcome of that appointment!

I know it, I just don't have a chance at it: Left eye dominant, so shoot left handed with right handed guns, and have to cant the rifle as I run the bolt. Even if I was right handed, I'm not sure I could learn to pull the trigger with the middle finger! Have you ever given it a whirl?

The Garand qual I'm familiar with is different, and was on rapid fire: Garand is 16 shots on target, in 79 seconds, standing to prone. 16 on target in 74, standing to kneeling.

While I am partial to what is often called a Texas omelette up here (omelette stuffed with chili) when I have left over chili to use up, I tend to prefer making them with cheese and spinach on a more regular basis.

@Green Chile; curious as to how common the colour phase bears are with that outfitter? No cinnamon bears in my neck of the woods, but I'd consider an outfitter for a chance at a colour phase.

Bears need to be clear of the fat as soon as possible, else they can be very gamey: If you gut it and then decide to clean it a day later, you will have some very gamey meat that most only found suitable for jerky or ground chuck. If you get them off the fat quickly, no issues, irrespective of...

Used to be up here you'd always hang some easily accessible bait in the spring: Bears usually taken closer ranges so when the bear stands for the bait you can tell if it's a young boar or a sow from the teats - a sow with cubs has them rubbed clear. Don't know if it was something outfitters...

:LOL: We're definitely a resilient species - local acclimatization is a thing: 52 degrees here, but with good sun today, and it's shorts and tees all around for everyone I've seen. I move to long johns in the fall at about 40 and stay that way until spring. The house thermostat is set to 64...
