    Retired now, have a small hobby farm, raise a few chickens and have a small herd of Irish Dexter cattle. I enjoy all of the outdoor sports although as I get older I do not get out much as I once did. I like hunting small game best and I am especially fond of hunting with dogs. Always a firearms buff doing minor mods and smithing to individualize my firearms to my taste and loading custom ammo to fire in them. I also like the shooting sports from competition to just informal plinking and target shooting which is what I do most these days.

    I also run the Traditional Working Airedale Message board, http://traditionalairedale.proboards.com/

    Around here not too dry, I would say a little on the wet side for the most part. Al

    I would have to say that this cat did not just wander from parts unknown into Rochester, there is a human connection. Al

    Well I took the plunge and picked up the Bushnell Fusion Range finding binoculars, when it comes to binoculars I have been a long time Bushnell user and I have had very good luck with that brand. They are a middle of the road priced set and a good deal was had with Amazon's prime days. I have been playing around with them a bit and really like them, beats carrying a set of binoculars and a separate range finder. Al

    I was asked how does one fire a rimfire cartridge in a center fire rifle? What Thompson Center did to solve the problem was chamber the cartridge a bit lower in the barrel which will align the rim with the firing pin, problem solved. Al

    Picked up the new production frame and stock yesterday from the Gunworks in Verona and mated it up with a 17 HMR barrel that wears a Bushnell A17 3X10 scope. My initial take on the new action is that it is of very good quality and the trigger pull is definitely better than the older models. This will be my first rimfire with the Encore platform and I can't wait to wring this barrel out, hopefully she will lay them in there as well as my Ruger 77 17 HMR. Al

    Well it was not a shed, a skull, but still a good find in my book. Al

    I agree with Doc, those pricey knives for me are more of a collector's item than something to be used for hard work. I also agree that the Kabar military knife is a very good choice for an all around hard use camping-bush knife, top notch construction and USA made. Al Bing Videos

    Pricing on the Thompson Center stuff has really loosened up and come down since the new company got up and running shipping new guns. As always when something is discontinued the scalpers charge ridiculous prices, I have seen Encore frames selling for a grand!!!, barrels the same, way over priced, everything now is starting to be priced realistically. I have picked up a couple of rare caliber barrels and decided to try one of the new production frames for them, it is supposed to be improved somewhat over the older models, I look forward to testing it out.
