Man that is pretty messy, wonder if there is any pain involved. Al

I just want to give a quick report on these Ruag Large Rifle primers, I have tested quite a few handloads made up using them and I am happy to say their reliability has been 100% and the accuracy has been as good as what I get with American brands. So if you see them available do not be afraid to buy and use them. Al

Many are still visiting daily, they have logged off and visit as guests. Al

Man, that is a big slab for sure! Al

It is kind of a pain in the ass but I figured it out and got mine. I believe you still can go to a license issuing agent and get your permits. Al

Tested the 541 with three different brands of ammo high and standard velocity and everything grouping great. That is one thing I love about this 541S, it is not real picky with ammo like some rifles I have. When the leaves come down so I can see something I will be ready. Al

With all the leaves still on the trees and underbrush visibility is very limited, early in the Squirrel season it is tough spotting them much less getting a shot especially with a 22. Usually, I hunt them with a shotgun early in the season for that reason, but I am hitting the woods with my pup and want to introduce him to gunfire with something that is easy on the ears. I don't think gun shyness is going to be any kind of problem with this guy, he was outdoors with me today on the shooting range while I was testing some 22 ammo and he was all good. Al

That is a heck of a deal, those safes can be a real bear to move. Back when I worked in my buddy's gun shop he sold Browning safes, they were massive and heavy, it would take 4 guys to make a delivery to our customers. Congrats to you and your Dad. Al

Am I surprised? In today's world Hell no! Al

Every now and then I make a purchase of a highly hyped product that exceeds my expectations. This little Garmin Xero Chronograph is one of those purchases, it is so simple and convenient to use compared to my Pact. I just love the thing. I use it every time I hit the range and it provides me with much eye opening data on what kind of ammo I am producing. One of the best purchases for me that I have ever made, a triple thumbs up. Al

Red Stag hunting in New Zealand, most of the photos of Red Stags I have seen their antlers resemble those of an Elk. Lost for words on this guy, what a set of antlers!! Al

I play the hand I am dealt, Trump is the Republican nominee and he is who I will vote for and certainly not for any candidate whose party is for everything I listed above. I would have to be a complete moron to do so, I will take my chances! Al

Got my pup Ruff into the woods today looking for a Squirrel but things were slow, saw one Chipmunk and the mosquitoes were fierce, that being said I liked everything I saw with this pup. He has his nose down and he is ranging out and hunting, have trained a lot of pups and I like what I am seeing with young Ruff. Al

The media likes to make this election all about Trump and Harris but do not get pulled into that narrative, the big picture is about party policy and party platform, that where the focus should be and which party is looking out for your interests!! From where I sit the Democrats are doing everything in their power to ruin my life and lifestyle! Listing just few things that do not sit well with me. Let's start with some law and order, cashless bail, defunding police, riots and violence. Open borders, letting anyone vote, welfare state, big government, high taxes, over regulation, inflation, socialism, communism, and who gets the bill? They want to ban oil, internal combustion engines, cars and motorcycle, boats will be affected, ban coal, ban burning wood, ban propane, it is what I use to heat and cook with! Anti farming and over regulating, Animal rights radicals, anti meat eating Anti hunting and fishing, anti trapping, anti firearms, anti traditional ammunition and ammunition period! There is plenty more but my fingers are getting tired from typing all the crap various groups of knuckleheads in the Democrat party are trying to pull they are not our friends! Little by little like death from a 1000 cuts they are ruining this country and turning it into a shithole, the people better take their blinders off and pay attention! Al

One of the things I find interesting is the game and techniques hunters in other parts of the world use. Youtube provides a view into hunting for just about every game animal on the planet. I got some education watching videos of Deer hunting in Europe, they like to call it stalking and they have a small size Deer over there called a Roe Deer that bark when alarmed. They have an interesting technique for hunting those little guys, "calling" and it is much the same as the way we use varmint calls for predators. They will set up a stand on the edges fields that border forests and call, some of those Bucks come on the run like a Coyote to a dying rabbit call. Looks like a lot of fun and the kind of hunting being a varmint hunter, I would enjoy. They also have a nifty set of antlers, the racks are not big but they look nice.
