It’s a Crickett Precision Rifle that I got for my daughter. My buddies at the gun shop referred to it as “my first sniper rifle.” It’s fun, adorable, and a tack driver https://www.keystonesportingarmsllc.com/product/crickett-precision-rifle/

All right, I'll admit I'm cheap. But I get sick and tired for paying $5 and $6 for a Silicone cotton / flannel gun wipe cloth. I go through these things pretty quick. It doesn't take long before they wear, then they transfer a lot of lint on to your gun. Especially on any matte finished surfaces. So I went to a fabric store and bought 2 yards of cotton flannel quilting fabric for just $2.49 @ yard. (I bought natural color. But you can get it in any color you like). I took a pair of pinking shears and cut it into 18" square sheets. I then spray them with silicone, (or you can use your favorite gun oil or rust preventive), fold them up and put them into 6" heavy duty zip lock storage bags. You'll end up with over 20 of them for what you will pay for one from Hoppe's or Outers. And they are of better quality. You can keep several of them at home, in your range bag, on your reloading bench, or even in the pockets of your gun cases. Then you will never be without a way to wipe down your gun. And you won't be ripped off over paying for those crappy one's they sell at the gun shop. https://www.joann.com/cozy-flannel-fabric/prd39349.html#prefn1=ecommercetype2&prefn2=refinementColor&prefv1=Snuggle%20Flannel%7CCozy%20Flannel&prefv2=Whites&icn=hpz1ba&ici=cozy-flannel&start=1 https://www.walmart.com/ip/6-x-6-4-Mil-Heavy-Duty-Plastic-Reclosable-Zipper-Bags/107397076

Even though I'm an alum, you'd have mixed emotions too if you had my work history with them. - OS

I took 3 friends from Spain shooting today. Two live here and the other was visiting the US for the first time(I think we gave him a proper TN introduction) It was actually his idea. We went to Shoot Point Blank and I brought my Glock 17 and Sig MPX. 200 rounds of 9mm-$80 Gas for the trip-$5 Watching 3 Europeans grin from ear to ear after shooting-PRICELESS. They had a ton of questions and did a great job listening to my instructions. I think they all preferred the MPX. When I first took it out of the case they let out a collective "ooooahhh".. I'm sure that means badass in Spanish.

After 5 months of debate and a 2 month waiting list, the bullpup stock has arrived. The waiting list was extended due to traditional on-demand mfg'ing. Andy from High Tower Armory sent me an email update - a slow down from a supplier was delaying production. Final email, product in stock and ready for order; processed 11/19, shipped 11/20, estimated delivery 11/21 - 11/23. Initial impressions: substantial, attention to detail, MLok points, as nice an after market/ replacement stock you'd (I'd) buy for something else. Controls are good, charging handles are stiff, but should smooth out, ambi safety works for me, trigger feels ok but will have to shoot it. Mag release works well and mags fall free. I think reloading will be pretty smooth; when I rotate the stock to reload, the mag well ends up in a pretty convenient position. The rails appear secure enough and are well made - to start, I've got my thrifty BSA tri-color red dot and will test my Burris FF3. I've seem a few videos where to the owner installed flip up (polymer) irons and co witnessed to a red dot. I need to shoot it before I decide which set up will work best for me. I am pretty well decided to add a angled fore grip to the lower rail. Here's the rub. A new HP carbine is $350ish Add $300ish for the bullpup stock and a few odds and ends, you're starting at $650. Which is now competitive with a large selection of PCCs and PDWs in both pistol and rifle cartridges.

It all depends.....on about 8 thousand or more variables.

This is no time for your anarchy, lol. I do enjoy seeing Memphis win.

This is putting a smile on my face. When it comes to sports there are only two things I care about. Did Memphis win? Did Tennessee lose? It’s been a good weekend.

I’m a Vanderbilt fan. I’m married to a woman who believes that if you’re good in life and you die, you go to Vince Dooley’s house for Sunday lunch or something like that. We’re not Vols fans. But, this is just embarrassing.

That's a strange one. If you're gonna shoot the guy, hold the dog. If you're gonna release the dog, give it a chance to do its job, which I'm certain it will quite effectively.

I used to keep a hacksaw in the truck just for cutting antlers. I would use them for rattling antlers or handles for tools or dog chew toys. Saw a nice 8 pt on the side of road on the way to my parents for Thanksgiving dinner. I go ooooh dead buck and my wife without missing a beat says "Don't even think about it".

This is a fun PSA from Cas And if you need a check cashed (2 minute)

I just use CRC Silicone Spray. It's available at Wal-Mart. But most any will work. I apply it sparingly. Just enough to provide a light coat on the cloth. Too much silicone isn't good for wood stocks. (Too much oil isn't either). I don't apply it with the provided tube. I just shoot it out of the nozzle. That way it provides a much finer spray on to the material, and disperses better. https://www.walmart.com/ip/CRC-05074-Heavy-Duty-Silicone-Multi-Use-Lubricant-7-5-Oz/116439439 Another great product is Boeshield T-9. It was developed by the Boeing Company. It's rated very highly in Brownell's rustproofing test. It's available from West Marine. For high humidity applications, it will provide very good rust protection. https://www.westmarine.com/search?Ntt=boeshield+t-9

Damn, the worst thing about this is the K9 getting killed in the crossfire.

I wouldn't set foot in a retail store this weekend if they paid me. You can find deals on whatever you want throughout the year on the internet, no need to worry about whatever sales are going on now. Plus, in stores, you have to be near actual people, which chaps the hell out of the anti-social side of me ...

I used to shoot my Mosins a lot. They're definitely a lot of fun. Built like a tank too. The ammo used to be cheap and plentiful. Its still not all that bad.

Yea, the guy was a idiot to use a bump stock. I mean, if you are going all out to compete a mass murder, why don't you just get a DIAS, or drill the hole and call it a day? I don't like the fire bump stocks are taking more than any of you, but the reality of it is, they felt like they had to throw the public a bone. There is quite a bit of support in the country for a all out AWB, much more restrictive than last time. Right or wrong, Trump thought he had to give them the bump stock to protect our other rights. Agree or disagree, I understand the reasoning. Some around here like to throw out that how Obama was better for the 2nd than Trump. The only thing that kept Obama in check during his second term what the republican legislature. Given the chance, does anybody actually think Obama wouldn't have taken your guns away?

I've killed 3 deer. I've never been deer hunting ...

Silence from you! I thought you were a UT man!

Finally remembered his name. When lived in Oliver Springs,[worked at y-12 plant] in late 60's, remember his store ads on radio and tv. Was a staunch conservative. Colorful interesting man, any of you older guys remember him. Took me over a week to remember his name, getting old really is fun.

Went to MSSA today. Got to shoot the hipower and it’s just as awesome as I knew it was going to be. She spits fire! Also, spent some time shooting some big dollar precision rifles. Bet y’all never imagined I was so freakishly huge.
