  1. I have a cheap 4x Tasco on my 22 thats been on there since i was a kid. It works but for a few more bucks I would have chosen something else. I don't think this is the exact model, but I put a Simmons 3-9x on my dad's 22 when I had it for a while and it worked great. Dime sized groups at 25-50yds. Now that my dad's eyes have aged, he appreciates the little bit of extra magnification over the 4x on mine when he used to borrow it to hunt. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1156211994/simmons-22-mag-rimfire-rifle-scope-3-9x-32mm-truplex-reticle-with-rings
  2. . WTH??? Better get crossbows while they're at it since they can be silenced too.
  3. I have one on my 700. The detachable mag is nice, especially out hunting. I was a little concerned about the magwell being polymer, but it holds up fine. The action fit perfectly in mine and accuracy was not affected. Keep an eye open for deals and you can get the stock + magwell for essentially the price of the stock. I want to say I got that deal from Primary Arms.
  4. When you say he can't work the slide, is it bc of how he's trying to rack it? My wife doesn't have great grip strength so she has trouble sometimes. On heavier springs, we got her to use the technique where, with the pistol in her right hand in front of her parallel to her body, she gripes the slide with her left hand. Using both hands, push the slide and the gripe in opposing directions to rack the slide. This uses more chest and arm muscles to rack the slide than just using grip strength.
  5. It's been a bit dry lately, you might be able to hang some strips to dry outside on a tripod setup or make a rack. I would find a way to put screen around the meat though for the bugs and maybe a fan to speed up the process. If you get some smoke on the meat with salt, you can minimize bacterial growth, but I don't know how that affects the drying out process. https://goo.gl/images/VRZ1TF
  6. I've heard of people putting it in a screened box to get good air flow but keep the bugs out, but it would have to dry fast enough or have enough salt to prevent bacterial growth. Maybe if it was cold smoked first? I saw Alton Brown had a way of doing it by putting strips in between air filters (the kind that won't leave filament in the meat) about 3 layers deep then bungee cording it to a box fan for about 24hrs. This way the meat is "cold" dried vs cooked (dehydrator). Never tried this method, but I may depending on my harvest this year, but I would probably use food grade mesh instead of filters.
  7. Article says he modified them himself to be full auto but not how and they didn't have serial numbers. http://wjhl.com/2017/10/02/wcso-johnson-city-man-charged-after-deputies-find-automatic-weapons-over-900-rounds-of-ammo-in-stop/
  8. Can't make it tomorrow, but I'm not missing next weekend. The temperature around here is going to be too perfect to miss. I have a decent 10pt on my trail cam that's begging to come home with me. Gotta get out there before he gets a better offer.
  9. I always used Caladryl after a hot shower. It seemed to work for a while. Never tried this, but it seems logical to me, is using baking soda. Basically the basic properties of baking soda should help to neutralize the acidic properties of the chigger's digestive juices in the "bite". I found a few natural remedy sites claiming it helps.
  10. That's chiggers. They don't attach like a tick. Think more like a spider. They bite, inject digestive juices and drink it up.
  11. Depending on time and date, I might be able to meet up. Juggling 2 kids, I try to save my free days for deer season or hitting the range (MSSA) but it would be nice to put a face to some names.
  12. How's everybody fairing with the monsoon? The minor creek up the street from my house looks like a 4 acre, 20ft deep pond right now.
  13. From what I have been told, the suppressor gives the illusion that the sound is coming from a different direction. Don't know how true that is. And as far as pigs on this side of TN, according to TWRA they can be hunted at Big Hill Pond and Shelby Forest. I have never seen any at either location, but my dad claims he saw some in the dove fields out at Shelby Forest. He's also had a Ranger tell him to shoot any that he sees.
  14. Primary arms has a nice micro red dot that can be had for a very reasonable price.
  15. Try petfinder.com. They have a list of all kinds of dogs, not sure if it's just rescues or not. https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?location=Murfreesboro%2C+tn&animal=dog&breed=Chocolate+Labrador+Retriever&age=baby&age=young&filtersUpdated=false&distance=50&name=
  16. Unknown temp and exact elevation, so using sea level and 59°, bullet wins by just under half a second in zero wind, if my math is right. . (Not a professor)
  17. For an urban GHB, if you aren't going to have to cover a huge distance (<25 miles), and its just you, I would keep the bag "fast and light". I wouldn't plan on camping out. The more ppl realize things have gone south, the worse things would likely get imho. My list is: Everyday backpack, nothing flashy/tactical and probably neutral colored; extra pair of clothes/ shoes/boots if you have to wear dress/business casual during the day; good knife, multitool, multiple Powerbars and water, few pieces of hard candy, FAK, gloves, couple of black/brown garbage bags, small roll of duct tape, small quality flashlight, lighter, a reasonable amount of cordage, small pepper spray and sidearm of your choice. Adjust clothing to match reasonable climate expectations, but again I'd try to keep it light.
  18. A new hammer bushing will take care of the magazine release issue. They are about $10
  19. Life like rubber snake. Make sure to secure it though or a larger bird may try to fly off with it. Worked for me when I had birds trying to nest on my window siles. Took a few go arounds.
  20. Arm up a couple of Fire Scout UAVS like a mini Apache and go to work. They already developed them, might as well have some fun with them.
  21. Out of curiosity, what range around here goes out to 900, the range in Como maybe? MSSA stops at 600 unless I missed an update.
  22. Depending on the model of truck you have, and are willing to spend a little cash, Tuffy may have an underseat drawer that mounts using the seat bolts. Seemed a little more secure to me than in my console.
  23. Have you checked Sportsmans Warehouse in Southaven? They have a wall of materials towards the back.
  24. It's been a while since I looked, but I wanna say the 300blk forum had a lot of "recipes" in their hand loads section if you don't find a good on here.
  25. He looks like he's rearing to go. I can't wait til my little dude is able to hit the woods.
