While watching the new USA series "Shooter" last night, I watched a .338 Laupa round go right through a pumpkin, leaving a small entry hole and a considerably larger exit hole. I remembered seeing a .50 BMG completely destroy (blow up) a pumpkin previously, so of course I was off to youtube to...

Call Buck. They will fix it, and likely for free. I called about replacing a blade on my Stockman that I repeatedly told the customer service rep I had broken while using it as a pry bar. 100% completely my fault. They replaced it free, sharpened all blades, cleaned and polished the case, and...

Nice. I have a 2" 10-5 and a Victory model that someone cut down to 2". They just feel so much better in my giant paws than my J frames.

I have a Remington 742 in .30-06 that is drilled and tapped for a scope mount. I have no idea if this was factory or if a previous owner did it. Any idea what kind of mount I need?

I bought a Chiappa .22 upper for an AR lower, but I haven't fired it except for a couple of CB loads. If the hammer on your lower has a notch cut out at the top, it won't hit the firing pin on the upper. Other than that, the fit and finish seem good. I like it a lot better than the Mossburg 715T.

Charlie, prayers for the families of the officers and the community, and prayers for you and your family.

At least one? Before the tragic boating accident, I may have had more than my share. ;) Love the 500. Every once in a while, one can be found used in the $200 range. It would be hard to find a better value.

I would take him to a pediatric opthamologist. Once you nail down the problem (or lack thereof), a yearly checkup at the optometirst is probably fine. You don't let the oil change guy rebuild your transmission, so I wouldn't let the school nurse diagnose vision problems, either.

Last copperhead I killed was beheaded with a shovel. It was the closest thing at hand after I found out he had crawled under my pickup to help me change the shocks.

I used to drink 6-8 cans of Diet Dr. Pepper. Now I've switched to tea, which in another thread I learned will also kill me. I haven't tried the "10" products, but if they taste like regular, I'll pass. After years of drinking diet, regular is just too sweet for me.

I'm in a similar boat. I used to drink 6-8 cans of Diet Dr. Pepper a day. That stuff is bad for you, so I've switched to 2-3 quarts of unsweet tea a day. I use the Luzianne cold brew tea bags, which are supposed to make a quart, but the Nalgene bottles I make it in only hold 22 ozs., so it's...

Rumor has it that she and Sheriff Joe weren't getting along well, so they are probably both happy she is moving along.

I'm in that building several times a year, and I find it troubling. It's owned by Tulsa County, and I believe they installed the video system, not Wannamacher. It will be there during the Auto Show this weekend, during other gun shows, during the State Fair, during the Home & Garden show...

Like a 640-1 that has "357" in the SN? That wasn't the only reason I bought it, but it certainly ups the cool factor.

If you want to ditch the old man vibe, buy a BMW. I bought a 2001 740iL a couple of months ago. 181,000 miles, $1850 (yes, I stole it). It's like Carroll Shelby got ahold of a Town Car. Yes, you're driving your living room down the road, but it will cruse comfortably at speeds far higher...
