North High School had one in the JROTC program. They still might. The range was built in the bottom of the football stadium in the JROTC classroom area.

I think 50mm scopes look funky on alot of rifles especially small/medium size ones. They look to bulky. It also pulls your head up higher off the rifle A good 40-44mm with a 30mm tube will transmit alot of good light and keep your head closer to the stock.

Get something lower power without a parallax adjustment. Less to remember to fiddle with wit a newer shooter. I went through this same thing a few months ago for my new 6.5x55. I chose an obsolete Leupold VX-6 2-12x42 I found online brand new for $700. My top choices were these, and I looked and ALOT of scopes before I chose. The budget was $1000 max, but more toward $750 was the goal. 1. Leupold VX-6 that I bought. 2a. Nightforce SHV 3-10x42 2b. Leupold VX-5HD 3x15x42 3. Vortex Razor LDHD 3x12 I think I have the 6x24 Vortex HSLR you mentioned and that is ALOT of scope for that rifle IMO. to much scope. That said I also looked at the Vortex 4-16x44 HSLR for my new rifle and td it didn't hold and td candle to the clarity of my above choices. I nevery got to touch an athlon in my scope quest, but they didn't offer a 40-44mm objective in a scope I was interested in so it didn't matter much.

I have an old blue dillon too. It works well. I am kind of wondering about the newer drum style tumblers with stainless steel rods though. They seem pretty sweet and less messy.

My girlfriend got her card hit today and results changed
Hoss50 replied to hunter72's topic in Elk Hunting
There is a note on the AZGFD website saying they pulled the leftover list because it was an error and that a small number of tags were being issued to people who should have received them in the draw. I wasn't one of them though I don't think. -
Let him use the creedmoor. The 243 will do it but you better make a good shot at a reasonable range and use a good bullet like 100 gr partition. My 257 weatherby did just fine with 115gr bullets a few years ago. I took two shots at about 260-280 yards. Both were good lung shots and she went down quick. The reason I took the 257 over my larger caliber because I shoot that rifle better then the others. I know I can place good shots with that rifle. I wouldn't choose the 243 on purpose if I had bigger rounds I shot well, but if I had no choice or was in a pinch in would use a 243 without hesitation.

Buying a used suburban or yukon, what to look for?
Hoss50 replied to CatfishKev's topic in The Campfire
I looked at them for a long time, but ended up getting a 2015 Nissan Armada for a lot less than a used Burb or Yukon. The only complaint so far is crap mileage for stop and go driving. -

Watch for the 5.3l motors with oIL consumption issues. -
Axisworks did a couple for me and they are great.

Looking to have Hard Start Kit Installed on AC Unit
Hoss50 replied to elkster9's topic in Classified Ads
The furnace would have a separate capacitor for the motor. Replace that capacitor and see if you are still having issues. A hard start has nothing to do with a furnace normally. -

Hoss50 replied to elkster9's topic in Classified Ads
A hard start is a secondary capacitor that gives your compressor a bigger shot of power at startup to help get it going. Usually that means your compressor isn't in great shape and they are trying to nurse it along for awhile. Replace your units main capacitor at the same time you add the kit. If the old one is good but it on the shelf in the garage. Your capacitor going out is one of the most common causes for an ac unit to not work. They are a $2-25 part normally depending on the size and type your machine uses. -

Good luck getting new equipment to last like that... -
Romanian AK-47 Drum Magazine 75rd 7.62X39 Price drop Back up
Hoss50 replied to KBarter's topic in Classified Ads
Very few SKS were ever setup for AK mags. I have seen a couple that were, but most took a special mag that was specific to SKS's. -
Annette's Powder Keg. I haven't seen that name in a long time.

If you don't find anyone on here call Comfort Experts and ask for Ryan. Tell him Harley sent you. Realistically though if you need a hard start kit, that is probably a bad sign and you need to get the equipment serviced, and possibly start planning on replacing it. Hard starts are often used to bandaid a compressor that is failing. Change your capacitors at the same time. -
Diesel Derminator did the 6.0L repairs on a buddy of mines Ford 6.0L and seems like he did good work for a fair price. My buddy had 1 cracked head and did most of the bulletproof stuff. A couple years later though the other head gave up. Not the repair guys fault, as he suggested they do both heads, but my buddy didn't want to fork over the money for the 2nd head which didn't seem to be a problem at the time.

I picked up a couple of the Victorinox pairing knives awhile back and love them. They are very handy, and have stayed pretty darn sharp.

I second Pro Diesel.

6.5 Rifle Build/Assembly Update!!!
Hoss50 replied to Hoss50's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I do need a cheek riser. I currently have a ballistic nylon ammo carrier/cheek rest from one of my other rifles on it, but I plan to get a custom leather one built to help keep the old school feel of this rifle intact. -
I love a 45LC wheel gun!

How much are the Rugers where you are? Up here I can get one for $750. Buds guns has the Kimbers for $882. For the $130 difference I think I am going to end up with a Kimber at some point with the night sights.

6.5 Rifle Build/Assembly Update!!!
Hoss50 replied to Hoss50's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I picked up a pound of RL26 today on the way home @ sportsman's warehouse. I have some 140gr SMK's to try with them in Lapua brass soon. Berger gave me some good load data with the 140gr bullets & RL26. Quite impressive velocity claims compared to the other 2 powders he gave me info on. -

Garage doors insulated / non insulated? Gauge ? Etc .
Hoss50 replied to Eagle mountain ranch's topic in The Campfire
Insulated with foil backed insulation. The only time I would say maybe not is if your garage was north facing and didn't get a lot of sun. That heat will radiate into your attic and house. Keep it outside.
