In the same vein, the price of a base Corvette has never changed. It is purposely priced at the annual salary of a mid-level manager. Think the manager of local steak house, or hardware store, grocery store.

When I was a kid in my grand father's gas station, we sold a gallon of regular gas for 30 cents, and a gallon of ethyl for 33 cents. There was no such thing as no-lead, If today you had a mercury dime and a pre-1964 quarter, you could still by a gallon of gas for 35 cents. Now, you tell me if...

Woodchuck is no longer chucking wood.

I set a trail cam on the burrow. Will just set the conibear at about 8 am. Pull it at about 5 pm. I see chucks during the day. My cams got the cats at night. Except the bobcat. See that one at about 9 am a few times.

I have a horse barn with partial concrete floor. Wood chucks have used a burrow under there for the last 400 years. I have used a conibear there and killed several a year for the last 15 years. Hit a skunk now and then. A possum maybe once a year. Now my trail cam shows a bobcat fairly...

Read the label for application temps.

I bought my first suppressor 35 years ago. Spent a lot of time on the range as a student, trainer, RSO. I have seen several cans blown into orbit and end cap strikes because the threads were cut by "competent machinists." And I can't count the number of times I have seen perfect .5x28...

Rose in KY. He's done several of mine and buddies. 100%

https://class3machining.com/ I would not let anyone else thread a barrel. There is no possible way I would let someone experiment or gain knowledge or get experience on my barrel. Threading a barrel for a suppressor is not the same as threading a rod.

What is your budget? Do you want max noise suppression, or small size? Do you want quick release or direct thread? Muzzle devices are $100 each. Is this an individual, or trust? Trusts cost some to set up. Do you have a dealer with a rifle range so you can use it while you wait? You'll...

Let me see if I have this right. Instead of buying $30 worth of quality ammo to check this rifle to begin with, a new trigger was bought and installed, and a new barrel bought and installed, and then test fired with the same ammo. Do I have that right?

As I recall, a 10 year old turns into an 11 year old. And then 12. And 13. And it happens fast. I would be focused on a stock that fits correctly first. Stock fit has a quite a bit to do with felt recoil. And accuracy in the field. And enjoyment. I would bias my decision toward a gun...

#8-40 threads for both front and rear. Gun parts has all the screws. Including the 4-48 windage screw. Have not looked up the fillers.

Remind me. I will dig one out this weekend.

I confused the issue. I am expert at making simple things incomprehensible. 788s came in 3 action sizes. The .44 mag has a unique size. Then a short for the .222, 223. 22-250, and 30-30. A long for the 6mm, 243, 308 and 7mm-08. I think most quality scopes can adjust to POI at 100yds with a...
