    270/7RUM. Finally Finished. 👍

    Fun build, very reminiscent of pre gfc builds. Long barrel and even more powder, reminds me of my youth 😀. Neat project made better buy the last few years advancements in .277.

    Raining Here……Yes Rain

    Kinda hard to imagine only 5 inches per year, Think we've already had that this week. But our ground is sponge.

    Northern Lights this Weekend

    Pictures are always better with a decent camera. Often the image receptor will pick up more colors an even a relatively short exposure. Wife is always bummed to sit in the some winters and get awesome pics but see relatively nothing in person.

    Imagine it spectacular up here.... but it's 500 miles to open sky and not much dark this time of year.

    Do we need this -- AI ??

    Had a liberal roommate in college who was overweight, stunk, had a greasy pony tail and a neck beard. Googled every conversation topic to find a contrarian position on every subject that came up in the house. Every Ai answer I've ever seen has been roughly the same interaction as talking with...

    Your gear upgrades/changes/additions for 2024

    This is my focus, but on me not my gear... it's parsed down enough... me not so much. Lost a good pair of binoculars from the boat a few years ago, could use to track down a new pair.

    You thought the prices were bad?

    Well, go back 30 years and explain today... Wouldn't have seemed possible. It can ebb and flow, generation below me is gonna have to get tough or die. Maybe the hard times will make men as tough as the ww2 generation, who will in turn make good times. Lord knows that ship has probably said for...

    You thought the prices were bad?

    Combo of poor international policy and our inability to keep production onshore. Reality is when billions and billions of us pesos go to "defense" spending, eventually the minimal production capacity of gunpowder is going to Chase those funds. Took about 30 years to get here, gonna take...

    Interesting article on bear spray vs. bear handgun defense

    Certainly feel less threatened by the browns of the peninsula, the Grizzly of the interior, the black bears of South central than the tweaker of anchorage....

    Polar bear defensive handgun

    At this stage I couldn't care less about the efficacy of the chosen tool against the big bears, so many threads and so much pointless postulating I've switched teams and am now pulling for the bears... Svalbard sounds like an interesting place to go and work, don't think I'll get the wife to...

    Rok Stock

    The problems it solves weren't ones I needed solved, so I'll probably sit this one out. Eventually everyone looks like they copy everyone else's homework. If the shape sells Eventually someone is gonna make a similar shape, there is a finite amount of ways to shape carbon around a bolt action...

    .585 BF Short Action?

    I like the idea. Don't need very many follow up shots, so one or two down in standard bottom metal would be plenty. With suppressors it would be nice use more or the barrel for equal powder burned. Kinda an Uber wssm.
