  1. Sometimes it’s healthy to just take a break from things for a bit. I heard from him over the holidays, and he was doing fine.

  2. Both online sellers have almost nothing available & prices are stupid. 9mm-41.5 Cents a round @ ammoman.

  3. This is just a personal opinion and I'm not disparaging the Big Dots. I tried them on one of my handguns when that 'fad' was at its peak. The lollipop system goes against my 60 year shooting experience of regular sights. I'm growing to dislike the accumulation of all these birthday candles and have to wear bi-focal's to see halfway decent. Personally, I shot the big dots O.K. for self defense distances of 10 yards or less. Having to cant my neck back to get a good focus on the the front sight wearing bi-focal's, really made the target I was aiming for blur too much. I shot an IDPA match with them and had a difficult time hitting the farther targets accurately. With these old eyes I recently purchased my first red dot sight for a handgun, to mainly shoot USPSA and Steel Challenge matches. Wow, I wish I had tried one earlier! So much easier and faster to see for me personally. I don't plan on using a red dot for any of my carry guns for a number of personal opinions and preferences. The way I look at it, if I can't accurately hit my target at self defense distances of 15 yards and generally much less, I don't need to be carrying a lethal weapon.

  4. I like the looks of the little Phoenix. Everything I've heard about them is good. Should've got one when they were more available. I sent one of my Hi Points back to Strassel Machine. I bought it off of Egunner auctions. I knew when I bought it that it had problems, looked like it had been dropped really hard. Something was wrong with trigger mechanism. They sent a box Fed Ex today and had a brand new C9, extra mag., trigger lock, and extra rear sight. I'm impressed.

  5. I have had one on my maybe list for a long time. Came close about 5 years ago at a small gun show. Was the only thing there of interest but I thought he was a bit high. Waited around for him to get done chatting with another customer and after about 15 minutes talked myself out of buying it and walked away with out talking to him. Was a nice with box with both barrels. Haven't seen one since that nice for that price. Lost opportunities.

  9. Ok black is ground and red is hot. Add a fuse link in hot wire between the unit and the hot from TM just to be safe. Not necessary but I always lean on the side of caution.

  10. Hell, NYC alone has bigger pop than all of TN. Few if any places will likely see the death numbers that occurred there. It's all just a matter of scale, and what numbers the different states decide is horrendous enough to take whatever actions. Lee has just extended TN state of emergency rules/suggestions to end of August, for example. Pretty toothless enforcement though. https://www.tn.gov/governor/news/2020/6/29/gov--lee-extends-state-of-emergency-to-aug--29--2020.html - OS

  12. If you have not ran the wires yet for your depth finder/GPS you can save your self a lot of trouble if you just use the hot and ground on your trolling motor wiring that is already up front. That is how I have been operating my GPS on my Skeeter for over 20 years with no issues. Just make sure you put a fuse link in the hot side of the wire between the unit and the hot wire to the TM and you should be good to go.

  15. Like I mentioned earlier. I got a 22 Phoenix in a gun and the guy wanted what I had to trade but was a few bucks short so he threw the Phoenix in the mix and I made the deal. I found most folks don't like them because they say the gun has to many safeties' with 3. I use one and leave the other two off. the guns are a little heavy but very accurate to shoot. I got Sam to fix the mags so they hold the action open on the last round. I like the weight cause there is almost zero recoil. I had a guy offer me $150.00 for it and I told him I would have to pass. I almost laughed at him but then I remembered he was offering me new gun price for a used gun as they sold for 159.00 new In most stores.

  17. You are not mis-remembering. The M6 was actually a .22 hornet/.410. And I agree with you. on it's usefulnees. The caliber selction makes no sense to me, honestly. I refereneced the Chiappa version of the M6. There are several other differences beyond caliber, though, It comes with two actual triggers, unlike the old AF survival rifle, which had a "pad". The Chiappa is a bit less blocky than it's ancester too, though it still has the general look. I believe it uses a lever loop (think Winchester 94) to facilitate reloading and breakdown. I believe the M6 used a latch for the same function. The Chiappa had interchangable chokes. for the shotgun. Pretty sure the M6 didn't. Like you, I would probably try to find an old Savage 24, in the calibers I wanted. I think the prices on the Chiappa and the old Savage 24/42 are realatively the same. And I like the asthetics of the Savage much better. Unfortunately. the 42 only comes in a .22LR or .22Mag /.410 combination.

  18. For hunting purposes, that would be a tough gun to beat in .22/12ga. As you said with proper ammunition, it’s good enough for anything. Maybe I’m misremembering, but I thought the Air Force version of that rifle was .22/.410. And .410 would be terrible for a survival situation. Anyone that’s used one knows, .410 is basically a shotgun for experts. Not the kind of added difficulty you want in dire times.

  19. Sticking to the combo as Moped did, I would go for the Savage 24 myself. Why? I have a few... If I had to pick up one and walk into the wilderness, it would be my 30-30/20ga. 30-30 is good for 2 or larger 4 foot mammals. The 20ga with several different ammo options can take the same larger all the way down to rodents. It is not a fighting gun, but it could do its share of damage. If I got 2 guns, then my .357/20ga and one of my .357 revolvers. Maybe my S&W 13 or my Dan Wesson 15-2. Gives me even more choices ( .357 or .38) and can still take larger animals I would run into. Plus reloading these with black powder would be much easier than semi autos. Now if I am "surviving" in a Mad Max movie full if rampaging killers, I would probably make different choices.

  20. Correct. It's also supposed to come with some hefty reorganizing, so we'll see if Remington is committed to making wholesale changes, or just hoping to kick the can down the road.

  22. II handled the Optika6 at SHOT this year and it seemed decent. Not at the MeoStar level though. It is difficult to give it a fair assessment though when you are not able to compare it side to side with other scopes.

  27. Dave... RE... “...But since I’ve retired, I’ve still kicked around the idea of doing it. It looks like for about $1000 for a Dillion press and the other required accessories. I wouldn’t live long enough to see a savings, but when I die someone would get a very nice set-up for free. ...” I bought a thousand dollar Dillon 650 setup with a pile of dies from an old boy who had retired and wuz moving from a house to an apartment... The cost, 400 smacks... If ya load one caliber n one recipe, ya can’t beat a Dillon... Mine is set up for 44 special now... We shoot lots of it... Or, more correctly, once did... More than one recipe, different calibers; we can quibble about the Dillon. Mine hasn’t been used In several years, as I tend to have “ manias “... 45 Colt, 45 Schofield, 38 Special Hi-Speed, Heavy 357... Ya get the picture... In my opinion, a Dillon setup is for folks that shoot thousands of rounds with very little spare time... If ya shoot one caliber n one recipe, ya can’t beat em... I tend to load all my “ mania “ loads on an ancient RCBS Rock Chucker single stage press. I load about 100 to 200 loads per session that is generally a couple of hours long... I prep brass and re prime as the spirit moves me... It ain’t a big deal, but it takes time n tools to do, as well as plenty of brass. If ya shoot 9mm or 40 S&W, ya just as well buy ammo for the convince n cost alone. Good bullets are probably half the cost of reloading alone... Cast bullets are dramatically cheaper... As for 45ACP, ya are at the break even point for reloading auto stuff, I’m thinkin.. In short, if ya like exotic pistol loads or big bores n ya have the time, reloading is the way to go; but buy a 300 smack single stage setup, not a Dillon, unless ya can steal it... Reloading is as much a hobby as it is a way to get cheap ammo. It does save a bundle on any rifle ammo that ain’t 223... Hope this helps a bit. leroy...

  28. I have always been a bourbon or Tennessee whiskey guy. My son got me an early Father’s Day gift. A bottle of Irish Whisky. Not bad. Very smooth but there is a flavor I can’t quite put my finger on. It will be put into rotation with my other whiskeys.
