Why don't you go on the Facebook and search back about 7 or 8 years to try to find a guy that way you can Is correct him. I'm just relaying what I read on his Facebook post. You really ought to get a life.

Why do you care I'm trying to tell a story and I'm telling you what the guy posted on his Facebook page years ago. You appear to be one of those guys who absolutely has to be right all the time. The guy who up barely knew who claims he was a park ranger for the US force service apparently...

In his Facebook post he specifically said he's a park ranger.

There's no way to train for a mountainous adventure without mountains. A college friend and I hiked Angels Landing located in Zion National Park. There is a 1488 change in elevation from the base to the summit of the hike. Why isn't there away to train? The thin atmosphere at 1488' from the...

One of the sacrifices that I had to make working at that $25 an hour job was hunting and fishing. At that hourly rate I couldn't afford the hunting and fishing trips that I could in the past. The closest thing to a fishing expedition is a party boat out into the bay. I could go hunting on...

I was reading an article online how the Gen Z won't accept employment for certain positions due the lack of desire to face the corporate grind. That those positions are soul sucking and don't like the 8 - 5 work hours or commute. I recall talking to a friend of mine who promoted up the ranks...

I had an old Leupold Vari-Xii 3-9x40 made in 1983. Over the years it becomes harder to use. I knew it wasn't my eyesight I get'em checked regularly. So I sent the scope back to Leupold with a description of what I was experiencing. I got it back two weeks later. They replaced the erector...

In addition to my previous reply, as a counter sales rep for my LGS it never ceases to amaze me how many customers will spend $$$$ on glass but won't fork over a few hundred dollars on an eye exam and new glasses. If you have poor eyesight and don't get yourself fitted with corrective lenses...

Did you call Ziess to see of the would make it right? I have a V4 4-16x44 on my Browning and it's an excellent performer. I also have the Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44 and a Leopold 5HD 3-15x44 on a Remington 700 SPS Varmimt 22-250. They are all very good performers in low light. I have all those...

I have the Ziess V4 4-16x44 with the 30mm tube. It a very good low light scope. I have this on my Browning X-Bolt .30-06 Composite Hunter. I love the low light light transmission and no tunnel affect. Make sure the scope is mounted for proper eye relief. See if your LGS has one you can try in...

I'm still looking for my time machines so that I can go back to 69 and buy that AR-15 for under $200.

You sure couldn't spend it on an AR-15.

I often wondered how much one of these cost back in the day of 1969. And that was just under $200 and a 21" barrel. Where's that time machine when you need it. Never loan out to friends or family.

As time goes on fewer and fewer will recognize Dec 7th or that day in 1939 when the nazis invaded Poland. For those who fought the wars they will have much commentary. However those old American, Japanese and German soldiers who were bitter enemies have reconciled and become friends. Likewise...

Not at all. As the years go by we tend to, hopefully, allow wounds to heal. Japan has become and important strategic trading and military partner. Keep in mind we have thousands of troops and equipment staged around mainland Japan and islands. It does no good to rehash the behavior and events...
