    we need a humor forum.....until then

    I saw a scribble on a bathroom wall that caused me to pee on myself laughing. It said: I can understand why someone would be upset with me, but what do they have against the horse that I rode in on. ?????

    I asked a girl at a checkout counter if they took out of state cash. She said she would have to ask the manager. True story. I guess that wasn't funny either.🥱

    Bore guide

    I bought a guide from him 4 or 5 years ago. He was wrapping up production at that time if I remembered correctly.

    Action screw torque testing at the range

    Sure is. Start at a lower value, say 20 inch pounds. Shoot a few groups and go to 25 inch pounds. Continue to 30, 35 and 40 inch pounds. Shoot groups at each setting and choose the best group. Some folks use different settings for front and back action screws. I have read that if your rifle...

    How did I get there (my story)

    Thanks Pedro for the comments. I have tested 10 lots of the ammo I have and found nothing that didn't have flyers in it or would group. This was 2024 production ammo. I have 6 lots of 2025 production ammo that I will test tomorrow, wind permitting. Hopefully an improvement has beem made but...

    How did I get there (my story)

    Pedro, Larry and Williwaw, I agree with everything you say regarding the mental aspect of the game, something I haven't been able to perfect on a consistent basis. I think I have the gear aspect perfected with the platform that I'm shooting. However, the ammo that I'm using leaves me wondering...

    A boy , at 6 years old, was still talking baby talk. His dad told him, at his age, to quit the baby talk and start the transition to a more normal way of expressing himself. With that his dad said get your Winne the Pooh book and we will read some. The boy looked at his dad and said shouldn't...

    IR50/50 Indoor Unlimited Nationals 2024 @ Piney HIll $$$

    Pete I know exactly how you feel. I'll be 80 next month. I wear hearing aids that don't work, have had a knee replacement that went South, and my other knee is shot. I don't want to go through another operation at my age. I still shoot ABRA but mostly at my club as traveling a distance doesn't...

    What about Louisiana and the land mass between Louisiana and Alabama known as Mississippi? We had 9 inches in Ocean Springs.

    Bolt Nose Contact

    My bolt has a counter bore of .038. To achieve .043 headspace my bolt nose is .005 off the breach face of the barrel. Headspace can affect accuracy. What rifle are you asking about?

    Rifle Balance

    Al that's an elaborate set up. I don't have the equipment to do that, but since I'm shooting a rimfire with a Rotex stock I shouldn't have any problem with recoil. I drilled the hole in the stock to fit the weight rod for both depth and diameter. It fits so tight that I don't know if I could...

    Rifle Balance

    I drill a hole in the stock to fit the tungsten carbide rod with zero movement. I don't see how it could destroy my stock as I'm shooting a rimfire, and we are not talking about a lot of weight. Educate me before I screw something up.
