  1. Semi auto or O/U ?

    26” is great for quail hunting particularly from horseback because it is easier to put into and retrieve from a saddle’s scabbard. It also is easier to tote around on foot. Most of the action is quick, short-range, open choke shooting where speed is more important than pinpoint accuracy. You...
  2. AR Grips

    I use BCM - can’t remember which version (Mod 0 or 1).
  3. If there ever was a reason to stop going to McDonald's.

    I think so. My “wave” would probably turn out to be more like a splatter on the back of the bowl. I would be “riding a tide” of my own liquified feces.
  4. If there ever was a reason to stop going to McDonald's.

    Noooooooope! I learned my lesson about Krystal in college. The things this food does to your gut…not good. My only two fast food options are Chick-fil-A and Jimmy John’s. I’m not too sure about JJ either now that I think about it.
  5. Anyone tried the Walmart bootleg candybars yet?

    There’s a pretty good chance these are made by Mars for Walmart as private label SKUs. The ingredients may have slight changes but it’s common for packaged food companies to take this approach to push volume and build reputation with the retailer without “cheapening” the main brands.
  6. Ford F150 5.0 vs 3.5 Ecoboost

    The even scarier thing is that - at least on my 2016 - the dashboard mpg display overstates the actual amount. I calculate it the old fashioned way (gallons to top off divided by miles driven) and it always ends being 1 to 2 mpg lower. He could be getting 3 mpg in actuality.
  7. Ford F150 5.0 vs 3.5 Ecoboost

    I have a 16 F150 4wd with the 5.0. Have it owned since new and it has 88k on the odometer. Issues I have encountered so far: -January a year ago the rear window completely shattered when I climbed in and shut the drivers door. It’s a common problem with these aluminum F150s. It was a cold 45...
  8. Semi auto or O/U ?

    I have heard good things about Stoeger semi autos particularly the M3ks. They are part of the Beretta Group (incl Benelli) and are fully licensed Benelli M1 clones if my recollection is correct. They are made in Turkey vs Italy/US which accounts for the price difference. The M1 super 90 is a...
  9. ****Atlanta Falcons**** And The NFL In General

    I agree. After a weird season where you had a HC that was thought to be an offensive guru with loaded talent on that side of the ball - it was the defense that kept them in most games. Obviously the offense was lesser than the sum of its parts so I would not be surprised if they reshuffled...
  10. Shot 2024 thread

    Can’t hide that money…
  11. Shot 2024 thread

    It will be a quality optic for sure - no doubt about it. What I can’t say is whether or not I really want a red dot on my browning o/u. I would have to try it out first and the MSRP I think is in the mid $700s. That’s a really steep price for something I don’t know if I’ll like. Also this...
  12. Shot 2024 thread

    I would like to try this out but not sure that I’m down for a $700 experiment.
  13. Semi auto or O/U ?

    To be honest…I haven’t shopped for a new shotgun in years. Brand new I would go Benelli for a semi and Beretta for a O/U.
  14. Semi auto or O/U ?

    Semi-auto or pump 12 gauge for ducks, doves, turkeys and home intruders. O/U or SxS is OK too but may wear your shoulder out if there’s a lot of action. 20, 28, 410 break action (O/U, SxS, single barrel) for quail. Anything else is either implicitly or explicitly forbidden by the property...
  15. What's your go to lube

    Break free CLP and also Lucas Gun Oil (standard and Extreme). The Lucas stuff smells like straight dinosaur dredged up from the depths of the earth so you know it’s good oil LOL. Never had a problem with either but the Lucas seems to stay put longer.
