      Vista Outdoor Sale to CSG... Good, Bad or Ugly?

      I bought stock in Vista at about $28. It went to $40 in 2021, then dropped back to $30 and largely sat there until I sold it. How does an company that owns several ammo manufacturers not make money this last 3 years?

      Bullet es and sd

      I was told by a college shooting coach that 10-ring ammo doesn't help unless you're a 10-ring skill level shooter. Airgun and smallbore shooters with 8 ring skill can practice with 8 ring ammo because a 8 ring shot with 10 ring ammo still only scores a 8, whereas a 8 ring shot with 8 ring ammo...

      White Rural Rage

      Yeah, I've pretty much had a gut full of the "you're a racist" crap because I sometimes order a Vanilla milkshake.

      Carpenter Bee Season 2024

      I have an oversized tennis racket from the 70's. Yesterday, I put 6 players from team Bee on the permanently disabled list. You have to spot & stalk to get within reach, and maintain discipline to score hits.

      Just showing off my first two attempts at stippling

      Very nice! A long ways from the stories the old timers tell about using a small wood mallet and a sharp new 10 penny nail!

      Canada to destroy thousands of WWII Browning High Powers

      I don't know their worth, but at $500 each, Canadian military will give up $5.5 million rather than sell to US collectors. Dumb.

      Reduced 30-06 hunting load

      I did much the same in the late '70's. Accurate 5744 and Trail Boss are likely powder candidates for discontinued SR4759 that was a popular powder for this purpose. I used 46 grains of 3031 with a Sierra 110 HP on ground hogs one season. The light bullet didn't recoil much, you could probably go...

      Reduced 30-06 hunting load

      Good that you should ask. There is more to it than just reducing the powder, and is the reason reloading manuals show minimum powder charges as well as maximum. Some manuals even list acceptable reduced loads.

      Property tax needs to be repealed / abolished NOW! (Morgan Co info here)

      I'm sure. I went with my buddy to the assessor's office. They told him they couldn't determine usable/unusable on his pool and to fill it in, and we both understand the logic. What threw us was taxing the sidewalk. Bought this house in 2000, added shed immediately. Tax description provided by...
