Are you looking for any trades brass wise?

I have heard it is difficult to get SSS triggers, but have heard good things about them. They make them in runs I guess and are often sold out with several month backlogs. Thank you for the input. I may pursue trying to source an SSS trigger to see what they are like.

Maxxis makes a good trailer tire.

6.5 cm, 260 rem, or 6.5x55. I prefer the last but if you don't reload it isn't the best option.

The sad part for you, like myself is you are technically a millennial too... Work Smarter and Harder should be the slogan...

Yes. D60 for a d44 price is worth the extra weight...

For non-Facebookers here is the text. I don't Facebook but stole the link with my wife's account. Off The Wall Marla W writes... I just read that youre speaking at the SHOT show in Las Vegas this week. VERY disappointing. There are already too many guns in this country, and too much faux patriotism surrounding the second amendment. I cant believe youd risk your good name associating with a bunch of gun nuts. Youve lost a fan. Well, hi there Marla. And Happy Sunday! Its true, Ill be in Vegas this week, addressing a roomful of people who like to shoot guns. Im not sure what Im going to say yet probably the same thing I tell anyone who invites me to discuss the various ways we might close Americas skills gap. But one things for sure - while Im at there, Im going to make sure I see my friends at The SEAL Family Foundation. Youd love these guys, Marla. They look after the families of those involved with Naval Special Warfare. Remember Ty Woods and Glenn Dougherty - two of the men who died in Benghazi? The SEAL Family Foundation raised over $500,000 for their memorial fund. Anyway, they have a booth at The SHOT Show, so Im going to stop by and thank them for their efforts, as well as for their help with a team-building event I arranged for my staff before Christmas. I dont know if youve had much experience with corporate team-building, Marla, but Ive never cared much for such endeavors. I mean really, how much team spirit can you inspire at a golf outing? How much career motivation can one glean from a zip line adventure? How much self-directed goal setting can be extracted from watching a magician levitate in some hotel ballroom? I wanted to do something different for the millennials at mikeroweWORKS, so I called a guy I met through The SEAL Family Foundation, and asked if he could arrange a non-traditional corporate team event. Something that might allow my team to rub elbows with veterans. Ideally, I said, I'd like something fun, but uncomfortable. Well, it was a great day, Marla, and I wish you could have joined us. We started with skydiving. Jade ditched her five-inch heels, Jordan put her hair in a ponytail, and along with Taylor, (who will do anything,) and Aaron, (who hadnt even officially started yet,) they jumped without hesitation. Good for them! Even my old pal Chuck a non-millennial who once swore hed never jump out of a perfectly good airplane - turned his fate over to a stranger strapped to his back. (Granted, he crapped his pants on the way out the door, but thats always been a part of his morning ritual, and hardly noteworthy.) After that, we reconnoitered to an undisclosed location and introduced ourselves to Matt, Bobby, Jeremy, and Danielle - four SEALs who spent the last fifteen years getting shot at by bad guys and returning the favor with far superior results. They in turn, introduced us to 20,000 rounds of live ammunition, and an arsenal of firearms not currently available for purchase in the state of California. For the next few hours, the SEALs took my employees through an accelerated small arms training session. There was an emphasis on safety, obviously. Some of my people had never held a gun before, much less fired one. So there was sometrepidation. But after an hour of intense instruction, everyone got comfortable with the Glock 9mm. Then the AR-15. Then a variety of sniper rifles. We all got to shoot an M-1 from WWII, a Steyr from Austria, the Scar Heavyeven a Barrett 50 caliber. Fifty yards, a hundred yards, then two hundred yards. Their progress was impressive. Their enthusiasm was infectious. At 400 yards, my office manager was hitting a target the size of a pie plate. Unbelievable. Afterwards, we ate ribs and drank beer in a local bar with our instructors. We also listened to war stories from Ramadi and Fallujah and a few places I hadnt heard of, from people who wrote the book on teamwork. Fascinating. Eye-opening. Humbling. I wish I could share their stories here, but for all sorts of reasons, I cant. What I can tell do, is tell you how remarkable it is to see people who have never even held a gun go from uncomfortable, to tentative, to comfortable, to very comfortable, to empowered. One day Marla, I hope youll have the opportunity to experience something similar, and listen to the stories of people who use guns to protect us. Obviously, you and I have a difference of opinion regarding the role of the second amendment in modern society. But thanks to the first amendment, we can express our differences in whatever way we prefer. We can criticize those with whom we disagree, or we can try to persuade them. We can make a case as to why we believe what we believe, or we can simply announce our disappointment to the world, as though our feelings alone are enough to justify our beliefs. As for you Marla you can either stomp off in a cloud of righteous indignation, or you can accompany me to the SHOT Show as my guest, and see what all the fuss is about. Either way, its nice to have choices, dont you think? Best, Mike PS. If you do want to come, better RSVP quick Im leaving tomorrow morning, and youre gonna need your own hotel room. (Just so were clear) xo Mike

Send me the coords. I got the rifle hunt coming up in 20a. Nice pig. You definitely connected with that one.

P.s. Mike Rowe is the voice people need to be hearing these days. Not actors, politicians, and singers. They have no sense of the real word. People like Mike Rowe speak the plain honest truth, but nobody wants to listen to truth anymore.

I was literally upset that I technically fall into this group, just barely. I didn't realize they lumped me with this group til about 6 months ago. I was literally upset. I may be a city boy, and I didn't have a ton of good quality training on how to hunt or do things mechanically, but I did receive some of the basics from my dad. I took the basics and expanded my knowledge. First in mechanical things like auto mechanics, reloading, general repair. Then welding and fabrication. Now I am working on hunting. I will honestly say I am more of a jack of all trades, master of none. Alot of the issues of the younger kids is lack of work ethic and expecting people or machines to do it for them. This starts with parenting, or lack of. They are told to work smarter, not harder. They are told everyone needs to go to college to be anything. Trade schools are almost dead, and they don't respect a tradesman or a hard days work. Hard work and half a brain will get you a long way. I have worked my way from the bottom of a profession to the top several times with nothing more than a high school diploma.

How is the roof? Any leaks on it, or the slide out? Weight?

In the post it says that he won't return any forms of communication. Text, call, PM, etc. Not my deal, no dogs in the fight, I don't know either side beside what I read above. I don't care either way, I am just trying to make it more clearly stated. I would make an attempt to get my gun back though if I was 10Turkey. Even if he needs to get a middle man to get it back. Worst case donate it again to another cause if you don't really want the gun back.

I get what hoghuntr is saying. He has/had 2 similar/same rifles. 1 he bought from Rugerman for his wife. 1 was donated from 10Turkey. He traded the one he purchased from Rugerman for a different rifle for his wife, but still has the gun from 10Turkey. 10Turkey calls and wants to get the gun back, but hoghuntr thought he was talking to Rugerman and told him he traded it for another gun for his wife. 10Turkey lost his sh*t, and made threats. Hoghuntr didn't realize until after the fact that he had confused who he was talking to and had 10Turkey's gun the whole time. Hoghuntr is willing to give the gun back with no issues, but doesn't really want to deal with the dude who made threats against him in person.

I wish you were on this side of town. I would take the rl22. The shipping is the killer.

Yep. Shout out to pete. He gave my son a nice little 410 single shot that made his year. I am sure some rabbits and birds are going to pay for the generosity from pete. Thank you again! I got way more than I thought I needed and left alot of deals behind.

It was a great sale. Still some deals left though...

Are they any better insulated than a tent? I have been contemplating buying 1 but most of the hunts I would need it for have been cold weather. I was near flagstaff this year on the late cow elk hunt and it was cold and windy. Do the pop ups do ok in this weather? We spent a night out in my Kodiak Canvas tent during the hunt. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't as nice as the toyhauler we had been in for sure. Have pop-ups become better than just tents on wheels? Harley

I know you get a loyalty point if you put in 5 years in a row for a specific species. Do you lose the point though if you get drawn? I am almost positive that I should have a loyalty point for elk, but it doesn't show up on my portal account. I have been drawn in those 5 years though so that is why I am wondering if you lose it if you draw. Harley

According to my portal I have applied for 4 elk seasons in a row. That means this year will be the 5th earning the loyalty point. Will that point count in this year's draw, or will it not start until 2018?

I think the guy I know sent you his info via PM.

You just gotta do the class online and then work hard and dig around to find a range day class.

I assume the dinette is a bed by the pictures, does the couch also fold down into a bed?

Older Dodge automatics sucked too. Newer ones are better from what I understand. Again, I own a Dodge, therefore it has a Cummins and a manual transmission. My last truck was the same, and my next truck will be the same. Stick Shift & Cummins Motor. All day, everyday.

You buy a Dodge because you want the Cummins motor. You don't buy a dodge if you are not getting the Cummins motor. Just my 2 cents. I currently have a Dodge, and my last truck was a Dodge. My next truck will be a Dodge. I would never buy a dodge with a gas motor on purpose. Chevy has the best gas motors. Ford has the best interiors, and good gas motors. Ford had the worst diesels between 2002-2015ish whenever the new Ford diesel came out. Chevy diesels have certain years that are great, other not so much. Dodges are the best with the '07 and prior 5.9L cummins.

Nice truck. Good deal and a good truck for someone. 6 speeds are not easy to find in good shape.
