    Straight wall whitetail options

    The 450 Bushmaster in the Ruger No. 1 I see for sale up here even where we don't have those rules. Never know whether that is because they can't sell them in the US, or they made so many we are catching the spillover from a very popular option. :)

    The US myth is that they won both world wars and did it for freedom. They were massively late, particularly in WWI, so late, the French leadership that was feeding and supplying them, regardless of what fantasies Mike Venturino has about US equipment for WWI, had to shame them to get them to go...

    It is plausible, there was one huge bill Trudy paid on the way out. 20 billion. It is like everything else, you crash the economy to crash the people. Same thing with his lies on residential schools. Slightly different MO. However, I don't know if they have delivered on the cash, or it is...

    The 425 Express - an overlooked caliber - 2 rifles added

    It had that reputation for recoil. Is it because case size requires the use of certain powders? It needs to hit out of it's shoes? Here is a case of looking for 404 performance out of lighter loaded 416 Rem. That maintains some case options that are relatively available...

    .375H&H Barrel length… what say you?

    One thing that may not be considered about barrel length is that the attenuation, or energy increase on the hearing, is kinda a third order effect. So say you have a rifle where, along with the action, the distance from ear to muzzle is 30 inches. Imagine the barrel is 25" long and you cut it...

    I wouldn't go along with that, it sounds to close to the actual immigration policy in the US over recent years.

    Actually, one lawyer I respect has said you should probably throw out every case (just the routine business) in the southern district of NY, and there should not even be DC courts. The latter may yet happen. In general federal courts are corrupt because they have an excessively high...

    Standing and latches. I think you get denied on Latches because no harm has yet occurred (no election), and afterwards, you are denied on standing because it's over. The other deal is that if the state certifies the election then there is nothing a federal court can do about it. I think the...

    Chainsaws and those who use them

    If one has short logs, one can usually just split them, either with power or manual methods. But logs, even as short as 3 fee, can be heck to split if they are even slightly imperfect in the grain. The guys that do a lot of split work often buy veneer grade logs, which makes sense given their...

    Chainsaws and those who use them

    I mentioned cutting the heart out in smaller logs, of course the kerf doesn't get everything. But on larger logs I case the heart, and usually I will end up removing it, then the side pieces of are quartered which is important for a lot of projects. For instance the framing of cabinet doors...

    Chainsaws and those who use them

    OSHA must just have made a visit: As you can see, the chainsaw has been made secure with a line.

    Chainsaws and those who use them

    I have used the ladder, the thing about the board I use is that one would be advised to cut it the length one wants on average, or can store in the truck. But it can be used to cut a 50 foot log. It is also cheap and smooth. This picture might be hard to read, but the board he is using...

    Chainsaws and those who use them

    "the appellation of Gentleman is never to be affixed to a man's circumstances, but to his Behaviour in them" I wish someone could convince law enforcement, and others, not to use "Gentleman" for every perp found with parts of an infant in his backpack, or the equivalent.

    Chainsaws and those who use them

    I agree, it isn't really the same world. Chainsaw mills are used in places and for trees that can't be cut with bandmills, or by people who don't have that level of investment. The bandmill is the least of it, you need roads, heavy equipment, etc... This would be an example of where a really...

    Chainsaws and those who use them

    This guy is fun to watch, sounds like the actor in Buster Scruggs. The Electric he is using seems to be pretty popular with those who are willing to pay a little more. I am not really sure on the details, but I ran into someone who did safety for a large crew, and said electrics could be...
