Re: My new hunting rifle!

I bought the very same rifle this summer and put the same scope on it you did, only without the BDC reticle. You will probably love shooting that rig. Mine will shoot near or sub-MOA with the four or five different factory loads I've tried. It basically shoots them all well, just like a couple loads...

Re: Motorcycle CC

I agree with TAM and you're looking at this correctly: be sensible, patient, and don't break the law and complicate things. I ride and have tried several different options, and none, IMO, are very effective. I have no desire to carry on my person while riding for several reasons, e.g. comfort, poor ...

Re: My M77

Guys,

Appreciate the comments. I hope maybe this helps someone avoid making the same mistakes I made. It's sort of a "live and learn" thing, but in looking back, I should have researched more at the time and verified everything beforehand just like it had been a project at work.

My M77

Several years ago, I bought a used Ruger M77 in .223 Rem from a shop in the town I then lived in. It came with nothing extra from Ruger (no box, rings, etc) and on the (bad) advice of a fellow hunter, I put a Simmons 6-20x50 scope on it using high Burris rings front and rear. If you've read this far...

Re: Sabine river ACOE

Weg,

I don't think so, but I can't say for sure. Try the Sabine River Authority website (http://www.sra.dst.tx.us/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and see if they have some information that might help.

Re: "Old Red" Courthouse/Museum in Dallas Posted?

Best be careful. It was, no doubt, a courthouse for some time, and although court is not held there anymore, it is still considered by many to be a courthouse. I'm not sure you'd beat the rap here.

Re: "Old Red" Courthouse/Museum in Dallas Posted?

I asked a passing security guard the question, and he responded positively, it is posted. He allowed that it probably wasn't "legal", but there was signage. Since my office is nearby, I walked over and took a look and sure enough, off the Main Street entrance, is a black on white "No ...

Re: Checking in from East Dallas

Thanks, Backwoods. I'm curious, where did you take your class and does your handle possibly mean that you're not originally from the DFW area? I've been here for about 10 years now, and having worked in a past life in the timber industry, backwoods has a real tangible meaning for me. My handle refer...
