  1. The MBT is a great trigger.  
     

    I recommend you stay away from cassette style triggers but other than that, there are a ton of great options out there from LaRue, Gazelle, ALG and many others.  

  2. When I bought my bike, I was buying from a private seller in St Robert MO.   I asked him for a copy of the title so that my bank could do up the loan paperwork.  He got scared and thought I was a scammer.   It took a while to convince him otherwise and it eventually worked out cause I still have the bike.  But caution never hurts.  It will certainly weed out anyone that isn’t serious.

    I think there's a lot of old timers (like me) that aren't hunting much anymore, especially long range, which is where the 7mm mag shines. Our gray haired hunters are dwindling while the younger hunters are pretty hyped up on AR platforms and that ever so popular 6.5 Creedmore. 

    If this vintage M77 sells, I bet it'll be a baby boomer who buys it ... or someone who just loves nice walnut stocks and light pencil barrels like me. 😆

    It would be me (not a boomer) if I had the cash.  I love Ruger 77s.

    Probably get flamed, but having a "relationship" with a 13 year old at 22ish is a problem for me. I believe they have a word for that. 

     

    That scandal was in 1958 and Sam Phillips’ brother was Jerry’s manager.  
     

    Select-O-Hits, which is owned by Sam W. Phillips and John (Johnny) Phillips, was co-founded in 1960 by their father, Tom Phillips, and uncle, Sam Phillips, the legendary founder of Sun Records.

    Tom Phillips began his career in music as the road manager for Jerry Lee Lewis for a number of years. He had invested all of his savings into an upcoming 1958 European tour when news of Lewis marriage to his 13 year-old cousin hit the front pages. Lewis' career came to a sudden, although temporary, halt. The tour was cancelled, and Tom was broke. Sam helped him by giving him a job in the Sun Records warehouse and allowing Tom to live with him while his family stayed behind in Mobile, Alabama. Eventually, Tom saved enough money to send for his family in 1960.

    Tom was not satisfied with running the warehouse, so with the help of his wife Lucille, he opened a small record store and one-stop that provided small, predominantly black-owned record stores with everything from phonograph needles to display racks. In the mid-1970s, Select-O-Hits began to concentrate more on distributing and less on retail and one-stops. The retail store closed in the mid-1980s, and the one-stop followed a few years later.

     

     

    I spent 22 years working at Select-O-Hits and wouldn’t have had that job if Jerry hadn’t had questionable morals.  I’m not okaying it, but the outcome provided for me and my family for a number of years.

    Would it be prudent to have you phone handy and video any visitors  who show up uninvited on your private property?

     Are we even required to ID unless being charged with a crime?

    In this world, having recording devices is almost a necessity.

    This really isn’t a good example of society.  You are picking fringe examples on opposite ends for the two time periods.  Find an Everyman from the 60’s and and Everyman today and they aren’t so far apart.

    I am convinced that Ford has made a deal with the devil when it comes to legroom in the rear seating positions.  They manage to squeeze out far more knee room and head room back there than any other manufacturer.  My 2011 Raptor was like the damned Tardis inside.  Passengers couldn't believe how much room they had in the back seat.

    I miss that truck.

    And the flat back seat floor was game changing too!

    Total mistake on my part i meant the Ridgeline......thanks for pointing that out.  I did have a buddy with a 93 Passport in high school though and it was a good vehicle.   Actually i am wrong again, it was an Isuzu Rodeo, but i believe that was mostly a rebadged Passport.

    Other way around.  The Passport was a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo.  It was a partnership that lasted about a decade where Honda gave Isuzu a car to rebrand and Isuzu gave Honda an suv.

    That sounds like a really good price for anything new and a great fit for you Eray.  Not bad looking either and i have seen a few out on the roads, seems like a wise buy for the consumer.  I was reading above about some of the things you can do with your phone, that's pretty neat.  I have a friend with an older honda passport seems like a similar vehicle, i always liked his.....kind of an SUV but still has a bed to do truck stuff with.

    The passport is a straight up wagon body. The ridgeline is the model with the bed.
