    Proper Gin and Tonic

    This is not my go to, but if you’ve read Ruark you’ve heard of “pink gin.” This is my interpretation: In a whiskey glass, fill a quarter full of cubed ice, then fill another quarter full with crushed ice (that’s half full, for those of you in Rio Linda).

    Proper Gin and Tonic

    I’m hesitant to try this because for the last half hour the politics forum is cordial with discussions about a proper Gin and Tonic. I know this has been explored, but share your G&T. It can be a commentary on ratios, citrus, brand of gin, garnish, etc.

    This is hilarious! I had an old comrade at my place two weeks ago that made his G&T with both cucumber AND jalapeno. If I hadn’t been trying to sell him one of my more lucrative pieces I’d have chastised him appropriately.

    A Pile of .416 Rigby ammo - what to do?

    Depends on what you plan to shoot. If you’re after buff, I’d say hunt with the TSX and use the rest for practice. My compliments on your inventory! Don’t be one of those two box guys!

    MY biggest questions

    Imagine if someone told you that deer hunting (or ducks or elk or hogs or whatever your thing is) is just like an episode of Jim Shokey, Duck Dynasty, etc etc etc. YouTube is like looking into a room from the keyhole. Yeah you can see inside there some, but it’s a very narrow peak.

    You’re absolutely right. This is a presidential term the likes of which we’ve never seen. Trump has been president before and isn’t caught up in the normal “new to the office” friction, how to deal with Congress/Pentagon/NSC/Cabinet, etc. This also means he’s not awed by the trappings of...

    So.......what COMPANIES do you dislike?

    Ruger. They use crude cast parts for everything, and it means the action ends up being 20% chunkier all around, and harder to keep clean and rougher to operate. Compare a M77 to a proper Mauser action or a No. 1 to a Dakota 10 and it’s like comparing Waterford crystal to something from the...
