    Vanguard with Talley lightweights

    After taking it to the range I think the eye relief is just about right. I could probably use another 1/4-1/2 inch to make it "perfect" but I felt pretty good with it and was getting consistent 1" groups while breaking it in. Someone brought up extended rings but they aren't available with...

    Anyone Want to Talk About Lonesome Dove (Book)?

    I'd like to hear what people think, I got it for Christmas and it's next on my list to read.

    Daughter just got drawn for FHL

    Hope someone here can give you first hand experience. I haven't hunted there myself, but I know a couple people that have hunted there multiple times and from the sounds of it there are lots of deer (and pigs) to go after out there. One thing I will say is to get a map of the "zones" within...

    First hand Covid symptoms

    My household just finished getting over it last week (we all tested positive.) It started with my wife (late 20's) having a sore throat then days of congestion and coughing but no fever and nothing worse than cough and congestion. She got over it completely in about 10 days. Our 1 year old...

    Portable Jump Starters

    From experience with other equipment that have multiple uses they typically do each thing so so. For a 12v air compressor I highly recommend viair compressors. Some guys mount them under the hood and wire them straight to the battery or you can clip it to the battery. Either way they are a...

    Mid-Range Camo?

    Steep and cheap is a clearance site for backcountry.com site I believe. Lots of deals on better known and lesser known hiking gear there if you're willing to go away from camo or hunting specific gear.

    Vanguard with Talley lightweights

    I might change them after I take it to the range if I can't get a good sight picture at all power ranges

    Vanguard with Talley lightweights

    I just mounted a luepold vx3hd on my vanguard with Talley one piece lightweights. When adjusting the scope for best eye relief at high power before torquing the rings, I feel like I need the scope to come back a bit more. As you can see I'm maxed out on the front ring. Other than shaving down...

    What is your rifles name?

    I call mine "my hiking buddy" because I never kill anything, I just take it for walks.

    Start a business to hunt more?

    I appreciate everyone's input, all the opinions and experience has given me a lot to think about. I grew up with a family of entrepreneurs. Both of my grandfather's were farmers who started from scratch and my dad has had a cattle feed supplement business for over 30 years. My goal isn't to...

    Most welding rigs will have a generator welder for the majority of the welding work and you run all of your corded tools off of that power source.

    Start a business to hunt more?

    Working for a farm especially the dairy industry is a 24/7 business. I've mentioned cutting back on work but the boss won't give it to me. There's so much work to be done I barely get it all done with the hours I work now. This is why with a business once it's off the ground might have a bit...

    Start a business to hunt more?

    I have quite a few certifications in both structural welding as well as high pressing piping in multiple welding processes. I've found in past jobs that most people either don't care much about that or they retest/recertify you anyway. The main benefit to showing you're certified is that...

    That's what I've been leaning towards doing

    Start a business to hunt more?

    I'm probably going to put together a welding trailer instead of a truck. It's a little harder to get around on worksites but it's a cheaper way to start and if your truck is down all your tools and welder isn't stuck in a shop while it's being repaired.

    Start a business to hunt more?

    That's one of my fears and a benefit to working for someone else, when you're off you're off.

    Any mistakes are roadblocks come up yet that you didn't expect?

    Start a business to hunt more?

    For the past 6 1/2 years I've worked as an Ag. Mechanic/welder for a local dairyfarm. The pay has been good the bosses aren't too bad to work for but I work 6 days a week 60+ hours. I'm also tired of working on tractors, I barely get by trying to do diesel mechanic work. Needless to say...
