The only thing I have from my birth year is my body. Given how it has held up, I'm not sure that I want anything else that old.

I’ve gotten to the point where I use a 308 or 30-06 for everything. I grew up on peep sights and I spent years going down rabbit holes on them before I learned a few things:
Optics are superior to...
Match rules define how you compete against other shooters. You can't ignore them, but you can add rules and compete against yourself.
For instance, in my first IDPA match, I got mostly -0 hits...
The cool thing about this rifle is that it's built from standard parts combined in a non-standard (until now) configuration. It looks like battue sights can work pretty well with an optic.
Battue...
Plus there's the six-month migraine required to make all of that stuff happen. Hard to put a price on that.

Um, no. Not by the standards of mortal men.
You're laying them in there at 50 yards using a J-frame equipped with sights that don't lend themselves to precision at distance.

I think the change to realtor's commissions is just the beginning of the change that's about to hit the real-estate industry. There's no longer any need to research titles manually and no reason to...
I've had to good fortune to work with two realtors who absolutely earned their commissions.
A good one helps you mitigate issues before they turn into lawsuits. For instance, some of the...
Slug the barrel, then give Montana Bullet Works a call, and follow their advice. They'll get you fixed up.

Not that guy, but I like 10/Unique in the 44 Magnum. Seems to work well in other similar cartridges, too. 8 or 9 grains works well also.

Heh.
I shot IDPA near Portland, OR, for a couple of years with an old buddy from 1st SFG(A). Shit talking each other was almost more fun than the match. Some of the other competitors were...
Those loads feel like magnums no matter what gun you use.

I posted in the other thread before I read this. I think we have to be careful not to confuse lethality and ability to incapacitate.

I've never used a handgun to kill anything bigger than a whitetail, but I can vouch for the...
Exactly. It affects all of hunting. The genetically engineered deer that come out of Texas these days bear no resemblance the free-range deer I hunted on the Edwards Plateau as a kid in the 1970s. On...
That probably works out to six deer.

If you're gonna sporterize one, then that's not a bad way for it to end up.
In deference to the low-numbered action, I'd be tempted to set it up for a 170-grain flat-point built for the 30-30 at...
You can cut them off in the store. They'll throw them away for you.

The 750 was a clip point like the one in the picture.
The 940 is like this:

And when it gets hot, you can just cut the sleeves off.

This thread had me thinking about buying something new until I realized that I should work through the pile of great knives that I already have.
That should only take another 50-60 years.

The Benchmade 750 was perfect. Basically a small Sebenza. Cost about $120 back in the day.

Sadly out of production for quite some time now and too valuable to carry. I'd buy several if...
Great advise thus far. I'd prioritize my purchases as quality training > several cases of FMJ ammo > a good 22 > more training > a duplicate of your existing pistol > a different type of pistol.

Not sure about the 43X, but I found the 43 to be a poor substitute for either the G19 or G26. Back when I was shooting IDPA, I could go 300 rounds with a double-stack Glock in a day without issues....
