An unexpected and unplanned mission presents a last-minute opportunity to visit Yellowstone for a few days. I have acquired a good map, an excellent guidebook, and was lucky enough to snag a conveniently located campsite at Grants Village in the park. Of course the guidebook highlights many well...

Another argument for the 2-7x vs. the fixed 4x is the little bit wider field of view which, I think, the variable offers at 2x, which is nice when shooting at moving or bouncing targets such as tin cans, and the higher magnification helps at longer ranges --- best of both worlds for not much...

I'll grant you "small" (thankfully) argue "tasty" (compared to what --- more vile, vapid, alternative?) and object to "treat" (excepting incarcerated non-Muslim prisoners on hunger strike). I have, under extreme and exigent circumstances, i.e., being very hungry, and there being nothing else at...

I bought what was probably a "Remlin" .44 Mag. It was a miserable *** and an embarrassment to its manufacturer. If you must have a lever gun, the BLR is the most sophisticated and modern iteration I'm aware of. One I once owned was reliable, accurate, and chambered in a modern caliber, .308.

Once in awhile, we have a surprisingly sophisticated thread on matters culinary, reflecting the refined tastes of some forum members ( a nod to S&W Chad is here in order). This, sadly, has not been among them. Vienna Sausages, and similar meat-resembling industrial waste products, are probably...

You may ensure this, by writing your own... I once had a magazine feature assignment to write two versions of a story concerning a state referendum vote on a wildlife management issue, with a deadline several months in advance of the November election, the outcome of course, then unknown. I...

I quit, cold turkey, a thirty year, two pack a day habit, using a drug marketed for the purpose as "Zyban" (sp?), AKA welbutrin (sp?), also used in other therapies. After quitting abruptly (overnight), I had no further desire to light another cigarette, and wouldn't do so now with a gun to my...

Explaining, in part, the caliber and timbre of the state's congressional delegation...

I've never been a good "student", but have always been a good "learner", and am still, albeit as an autodidact. I generally had poor, boring, automaton teachers in elementary, middle, high school, and college, none energizing any subject, or inspiring interest. But, there was an exemplary...

That's been my answer to the same problem, and I've been very pleased with Burris FastFire red-dots on a couple of .22s --- they're fairly small, very light, and can use a large variety of mounting options, some of which may fit your handguns. Good Luck!

I have three, shorter, much less demanding titles in mind --- How to Sustain a Musical Career, Art Garfunkel Al Gore, The Wild Years The Wit and Wisdom of Joe Biden

Power tools such as grinders or sanders are usually lethal instruments for tempered steel edges, and a file is overkill for all but the seriously abused machete edge. Unless the blade has large chunks missing, forget grinders, sanders, and even files. First, clean the entire blade of sap &tc...

"Curl Up and Dye, starting your beauty salon business"

I carry virtually everywhere it's legal, including while boating, and frequently camp, using one of my several small boats as transportation, and bring along at least a potent sidearm, usually a suppressed .22 pistol, and sometimes a rifle. Of course, waterfowl hunters, etc., carry guns in...

You haven't asked the right questions --- here are some answers worth considering --- 1. All of the hardware is more or less fungible, most alarm companies use the same devices. 2. Wireless devices use radio signals to communicate with the control panel, and don't require sometimes damaging...

If this marital problem continues, unresolved, there may be many other loose screws...

Mr. Crumb, so far as I know, is still alive and kickin', having recently seen some spreads in The New Yorker, of all publications. A memorable quote from the Freak Brothers: "Dope in times of no money is better than money in times of no dope." And a memorable detail from a cartoon panel, a view...

I despise the term "gun violence" --- it is a twisted concoction of the anti's, and their allies in the media, inherently implying that guns are "violent" per se. This is intended to blame guns for the willful acts of criminals and sociopaths. How's about telling the truth, for an unlikely...

Nothing new, similar to the triggers on some spear guns, simply requires a deliberate finger-on pull, vs. inadvertent pull.
