Hey Explorer did you get any Pike?

'Not a fan of the twisted fluted bolt actions. It's an interesting, but not unexpected, caliber to fill a niche that doesn't exist which hasn't been filled by a plethora of rounds over the years. It's a "Band Wagon" round for inexperienced nimrods looking for nirvana who were intimidated by the Creed.

I have found that if I send them in 2nd Day they work on them faster and ship them back the same way. Much quicker. Just take your chances and ship what you can afford. The gamble of "what if" is 1 in 1000.

WHat do you need?

Will K definitely take Doug up on his offer and call him he has connections with Leica at all levels.

And "IF" you know what you are doing and get all the parts from a plethora of manufacturers that work together you will end up with a Colt Clone that you can feed anything with Glock reliability, maybe. Never had a FTF, Jam or FTE with a Colt. NEVER. And that includes the whole gambit of commercial ammo but don't take my word for it. I can't chance any of that happening so I chose to go straight to the "Gold Standard" when I made the decision to jump on board and never looked back. I have friends with Smiths, Sigs and a slew of other ones that were less value and they are not 1000% as reliable as a Colt. I just wish they came with a better trigger.

I like it.

Great midbore powder.

Blah Blah Blah. Been allover the web for a couple of days. You're really late to the party.

Well you trolled him and he jumped your case. He should have just made a complete post the first time with all the details.

Lot's of people just don't take care of their stuff and toss it in the truck bed or worse in the back of the ATV and don't tether it sometimes driving ten miles or more back to camp, and 90% of people don't put a tag on their stuff or put a business card inside of it to identify who the owner is. Laziness? Just a lack of commonsense? I don't know but I own a Ford Powerstroke and am amazed at the amount of people who spend tens of thousands of dollars on their trucks and think nothing of dropping $1000 on a stereo system or $3K on tires and rims but won't anty up for a decent alarm/theft protections system and then post "Help this truck was stolen from our house, place of work, etc" Let's get these SOB's like it everyone elses problem too.

Back Stage and Pre Concert "Events" were not too hard to get "invited " to or too crash if you brought the "goodies". Definately a different time. On another note I s[ent a lot of time at the Drags and for $2 more you could a Pit Pass and hang out with Big Daddy Don Garlits and all all the other pioneers in the 60's. I was there when Shirley Muldowney got her license as it was shown in the movie Heart Like a Wheel. Good times and memories fo sho.

Are the grips plastic ?

How many Lumens/Foot Candles and watts?

It's probably the most difficult game to cook. 95% of people who shoot them have extremely limited to zero culinary skills or a repertoire and don't care to try to experiment with them. We used to just shoot them and toss them in the bushes because we had lots of coyotes and didn't like the liver taste.

Thanks for the report goma I know that the Rut is slow from what I've heard. We had a real spotty rut like this about 7 or 8 years ago and Bulls were not very active and then the rut just vaporized and was over. I hope it doesn't turn out to be one of those years again. I've tried to retire twice, just turned 67 so I'm on the three year plan. LOL

I have a 6A tag and was wondering how the acorn crop is looking this year. I know it's been dry but hoping that the wet spring we had was enough to produce some acorns.

My tastes went to Country Rock by the time Metal became popular. Growing up on Long Island there were multiple concerts every weekend to go to plus tons of local groups that made it big like Eddie Money, Billy Joel, Twisted Sister playing in the local clubs. Joe Walsh and the James Gang played my Senior Prom in 1970. Loudest concert I saw was Deep Purple. My ears rang for 30 minutes after I left the Coliseum. Typical ticket prices in the late 60's and early 70's were $6.50 to $8.50 and T-Shirts were $9.50 I've seen the Stones, Pink Floyd, Grand Funk, Doors, Joplin, Grateful Dead, Zappa, YES, ELO, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Bo Didly, Les Paul, The Who, Skinard, Charlie Daniels both with his band and also playing with Marshall Tucker, Allman Brothers, Ten Years After, Rory Gallegher, Wet Willie, New Riders, Sha Na Na, Buddy Guy, Jethro Tull, Buckingham Nicks, Fleetwood Mack, Both Winters Brothers, Sly and the Family Stone, Shaka Kahn, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Four Seasons, Bonnie Rait, Pat Benetar, Queen, Willie Nelson, KISS, Santana.Paul McCartney and Wings and lots of one hit wonders who were openers. I'm sure there are a few I missed. Never got to see the Beatles or Hendrix but Jimi would play at a place in the Village called The ELectric CIrcus and the cover was $2 but I was only 15 or so at the time. Didn't make Woodstock as I had a dad who was struggling to make ends meet with five kids and I had a job flipping burgers during the week and worked from 11PM to about 8AM Friday and Saturday nights for a guy who had a cleaning business which was a few office buildings and resturants and a few bars.

Soaked in local whole milkfor 24 hours, drained, pounded and seasoned. Then into an egg wash, into flour. Then dredged again and into cornmeal. Twice. Cooked in oil for about 3 minutes turning every 30 seconds. Nice and tender.

Guess he's a little butthurt now.

When chicken breast is on sale I buy a bunch. I found that wrapping each breast in plastic wrap then putting them in a gallon freezer bag works well to keep them from getting freezer burn.

If someone has an inkling to expand their skills here are a few things to try. 1. Shoot small bore silhouette. It's offhand and .22 out to 100 meters. 2. Shoot high power silhouette. Centerfire rifle calibers (no magnums) out to 500 meters. 3. Take your deer rifle and jump shoot jackrabbits. 4. Learn how to predator call for coyotes. Don't use a bipod to shoot from. Nothing like shooting a moving target offhand. Learn the habits and reactions of coyotes when they are coming into a call and what they do when they bust you. No reason to limit yourselves to what makes you comfortable with a rifle.

Pretty Bull, congrats all around.
