I will let you argue with the state and BLM. That's the information they are putting out. Just passing it along. Since we live here I can't think of the last time it was in the news. As far as the vole population exploding, we've noticed that ourselves and had several comment on the irrigation...

There have been 3 reports of dead rodents ( voles and or ground sqirrels ) in SW Idaho of late due to bubonic plague. One west of Caldwell Idaho, one west of Boise (between Boise and the Snake river, and one in southern Owyhee County in the vicinity of Riddle, Idaho. The vole population kind of...

I often use a Lee factory crimp for bullets with a cannelure (crimping groove) in bolt action rifles. OYE

Wasn't trying to make a point. Thought it was an interesting report on how the military stores ammo. Wasn't meant to be sarcastic at all. Believe you are being a little too sensitive. That wasn't really called for was it ? We'll just chalk that up to your having another bad day and...

Th Kind of doubt that really. Looks like the charge is pretty much maximum. Hornady books from 20 years ago don't mention that powder with that bullet weight. Unless you have notes on how that load performed, it's pretty hard to remember a load from 20 years ago unless it was your...

Here's how the Navy stores their ammo long term since WWII. Funny they haven't bought in to the artificial climate controls. Vents and drains seems to be as good as it gets. Never thought Hawthorne, Nevada was the coolest place on earth or Crane, Indiana was the driest place either. Shows what I...

I would stick with railroad ties for your project. You might try some farm supply stores. They might not be brand new but suitable to be used for corner posts in fence lines, which will out live most people. They may have different grades at different prices. Landscaping companies may also be...

Nice job. Looks good ! OYE

Looks like there are some being made to fit the Ruger integral mounts. Can't say how reliable they are. Careful research will turn that up. OYE

Akmtnrunner Sounds like you'll be in grizzly country most of the time. If so, retaining the use of your open sights, when needed, would be a priority for me. A quick detachable mount that will allow you to use the open sights and retain their zero when reattached may be as important as the...

Logged a lot of miles with an Alice pack with a cargo shelf back in the day and I still see them being used in the field from time to time. Still have a couple around here that get used now and then. We prefer horses for most of our light work these days. OYE

Have a Buck Special and one similar to what you are looking at as a backup (it was a gift). We use the Special most of the time on elk primarily.Skinning and working up an elk is much faster with the 6 inch blade. A nice sharp hatchet is indispensable. We use a Buck General for more serious...

Anything can be broken. But I'd have to say the best quality scopes can take a lot of abuse. We have a 2 x 7 Leupold VXII (std mounts) from the mid eighties that has spent most of it's life in a horse (Uncle Mikes) scabbard under the stirrup barrel forward (a few thousand miles at the least)...

Adjustments look similar to a Timney mauser sportsman trigger. If so RC is correct on the function of the adjustment screws. I would not experiment with any of the other screws at this point. If you don't get an answer here, email the picture to Timney and I suspect someone there can tell you...
