Protectionist economics is as outdated as mercantile or colonial economics. It never worked in the past when the US did have sufficient resources to make it halfway work. We live in a global economy today. Protective tariffs will be disastrous for several reasons besides inflation at home...
Bubba gets a call at work from the cops.
Police: "Your house was broke into, all your booze was drank, and your wife was raped."

Look for a crappy used butt stock on eBay. Drill for a stud and switch to it when hunting. I believe Uncle Mike's makes a magazine cap with swivel stud. I just keep a cheap Walmart sling in my gamebag until needed, usually during the walk out.
For those with a hankering for historic CRF, why not build your own? Pre-64 Model 70 has nothing on 98 Mauser or 1903 Springfield or 1917/P14 Enfield actions. Find a donor rifle on Gunbroker and go for it. Last year I built this 404 Jeffery on postwar Czech 98 Mauser. Altogether I have about...

Slob hunters abound here in Montana. And guess what ... they are mostly LOCALS. You know they're locals by the county number prefix on their plates. Caught a local yesterday leaving a gate down on block management property and driving in past the orange sign that says no vehicle access. Fat...
I tried computer dating for a while. It was difficult finding a date with matching intellect. 🧐
Prospective Date: We should meet for coffee.
Me: Sure. How about ten tomorrow?
PD: That would be too many.
