I'll take this one. No PP. PM me your preferred method of payment and address, I'll get it in the mail. Jim

If you want a semi auto (10/22) and do nothing much to it, find a 10/22 LVT model. See how it shoots before doing anything to it. Then if you want to improve it, send it to Joe Chacon for a "tune up", he will check it over from chamber to crown, do what is needed to accurize it, work the trigger group, bed the action to the stock, etc. Prices were reasonable for what he did to one of mine about 2 yrs ago. I was going to use it in ABRA factory class with the grandson but it never happened, so I sold it.

Northern Tool/Harbor Freight did have some clamp on style magnifiers with lights. I use one in the reloading room at times when needed. These have a limited reach, so not sure what length one would need for projects like this. I'm sure amazon has various ones.

I've done a couple 10/22 builds, but I used new 10/22 actions and used Feddersen barrels and Archangel stocks. Aftermarket triggers are available as well, so you can spend as much as you want if you desire. RFC has lots of builds over there.

Since you're just getting "into" reloading, go by the load data in manual you are using, don't vary from it until you have some experience under your belt. Having several different reloading manuals is a good thing, some, if not most are available thru an app for your phone/tablet which is pretty handy at times, but the old school version book is good as well.

Flowers used to, at least a couple years ago. A buddy of mine who lives in Nashville area shot a deer and did not need the meat, so he gave it to me. I just drove there to get it, but it was 2 yrs ago, so....

I'm wondering why an "emotional support" animal should not be touched. Doesn't sound like much "support" to me, but I'm not a up to speed on these topics either.

Both of us had the 2 shots in April, so by year end we will probably get the booster. Main reason I will is mom is 96, and wife has COPD. I'm not in the best, but certainly not the worst health as compared to others. I keep my distance from people I don't know where possible but usually don't wear a mask unless I have to. To each their own, do what you feel is right for you.

Worked in the banking industry for close to 30 yrs, did most everything except make a loan. Got fed up with the BS in that field, and started working the hourly shift work. Retired around 2014 or so, like retirement much better.

You stay pretty busy these days don't cha?????? LOL

What does "bicurious" mean???

Check out "Cornerstone" and see if any of the ingredients would work. It's a Roundup variant from the local Co-op. It's a bit cheaper than roundup label.

Saw a post on another forum where CCI SRP & BR4's were available at Sinclair's, but high $$ as well. Did not even go look for the price as the OP said they price was "expensive". LOL

Good to hear, thanks for the replies.

Were the prices "reasonable"?? Post 'em if you can remember any. TIA

One of the Knoxville TV stations had a clip of the "news" but quickly moved on to other issues at hand. LOL

Prayers for you and your family. God speed for a quick recovery.

You'll probably catch up on all the "things" you want /need to do around the house, but be careful, it can get expensive doing some of those "things" you have in the back of your head. Once all of those are done, you'll start finding other things to do, whether it's still mowing the yard, the leaves, new landscaping, etc. Remember, some can be $$$$$$. Eventually, you'll say to hell with it all, and just go to the gun range or for a bike ride. Everything you think of "to do", you can do it tomorrow, or the next. None of it is going anywhere until you do something about it. Enjoy

I prefer the white background option with the tristar. The blue background would indicate a "blue" state to me, and don't need to give a bad impression like that .

PSA: Best observe all speed limits in that part of the state.

Prayers for your son and all in the family.

Daughter actually had one of the foot pegs from "a" mini pocket rocket stuck about 3" into her mid-thigh, still has the scar, no t shirt tho. This happened a few weeks after the honeymoon IIRC. No injuries noted on the night, but the majority of the people there would not have known if they were hurt or not until sometime late the next day. LOL

Daughter's wedding had 2 or 3 kegs and a couple of those mini pocket rocket motorcycles thrown into the mix. Was held at a friend of the grooms house, so... IIRC, one pocket rocket cycle did not survive. LOL

I have had 2 or 3 yaks, the last being a Nucanoe which I liked the best as I put a small 30-35# hand controlled trolling motor on, did the extended steering mods, etc., fish finder. I enjoyed all of them but the Nucanoe the most as it was least "harsh" on my lower back due to the seating position, a bit more elevated than the other brands listed above, and I didn't have to be concerned about the wind as much. Wind can be in your favor or against you, so...... I found a small boat trailer and the Nucanoe rode on it, towed, launched and loaded almost like a small tin boat. Never had to lift the hull, etc., everything rode in the nucanoe with some bungee cords to hold it all in/down. The hulls are somewhat heavy, awkward to handle but if you have no health/back issues, putting them in the bed of a truck is not hard, but loading it on a small trailer is a snap. You don't need a small truck if you go the small boat trailer route as the trailer is the heaviest thing in the whole setup. They also have some of the pedal models, which may or may not be your style. Most dealers have "demo" days, or they used to before C19 came to be.

Glad it went well for you, hope for a speedy recovery and good results.
