Dad dropped by this morning, he was doing some cleaning at his place and brought my middle son some old coins & watches that belonged to my grand-father.

Had a blast , drove down with Dad Saturday , stayed till the night shoot was almost done. Hung out with Godfather, Bob and Joe. The Vegas crew was representing and they had their fare share kill count of explosives & planes.

Recently took delivery of a 5 Shot Leather (John Ralston) holster & belt combo. I have had one of John's IBS (Inside Burton Scabbard ) Holsters for a couple years ( for a Colt Commander ). Picking it up from him at SHOT Show a few years ago , I was very impressed with both him & his work , I...

Awhile back a co-worker approached me about what to get her son for making Eagle Scout , and she was trying to decide to get him camping gear or a knife as a reward. I suggested she go with the camping gear. That shocked her , since I am known as the knife nutt at work. Go figure 2thumbs...

I have this same thread going on a knife forum , but rather than clutter up everyone else's threads here ( as someone seems to keep posting the same BAD info over and over ) , I figured a separate thread to discuss is a better idea. I have never heard any of the damascus makers make an absurd...

Decided since I missed Blade , that I would go and spend the weekend up in Portland with my bro Dan , he used to be my shop bud when he lived here in Vegas. Had a great time , we hit the show , saw a bit of Portland , took lots of picts around town and Dan took me over to visit Bill Tuch. I...

Gotta love Holiday weekends , that means no work and no school stuff of running around with the kids , which = shop time ( which since it was raining meant no range time , which also = more shop time ). I Managed to get these two almost done. Just need to do the sheaths , get em logo'd and...

Got on Ken Erickson's list after seeing his work on BladeForums. My # came up and boy did he deliver !! Such a pleasure to work with , you often hear of the grumblings of dealing with a custom maker , such is NOT the case with Ken. His communication skills are top notch , only surpassed by...

The more I hung around here and viewed these 2 guys posts , the more I started thinking about the simpler things..... starting collecting a few slip joints and lockbacks....even started shooting the 22's again ! I blame you two ( actually I would like to thank you both ! ). Just got this...

I just bought a Tikka T3 Lite in .308 recently , ordering a Super Sniper 10x scope for it this week. I have had a few shooters tell me the factory rings aren't up to the task of holding up to much 308 shooting. For anyone else using a Tikka T3 , what rings did you use ? 30mm. thanks. John
