Signature


There is that intangible of using a liquid fuel stove; the art and ritual of the set-up and operation that a gas burner doesn’t possess.
A gas stove gives no pleasure in its use beyond the end result of something getting hot.

    After noting on this site that Hayes and Assoc. were closed I googled Neil and found that He died earlier in the year. Neil was a gentleman of the old school and will be sorely missed by myself and...

    Puffin liked post by zimmer On thread : Neck turning
    Same experience. Have a fortune tied up in a K&M. Only have one chambering that I will neck turn again for and that's when I next replace the brass for it. It's a super tight neck, another situation...

    Puffin liked post by Frodo On thread : Are we on the wrong 'No.1" criteria when scope buying?
    I think problems tend to arise when we mix those two categories up, and we expect one scope to do it all. 'Featherlight' and 'reliable tracking/drop proof' don't go together in the same sentence....

    Puffin liked post by Bagheera On thread : Are we on the wrong 'No.1" criteria when scope buying?
    Here's a tracking test with a $300 Leapers scope. This scope has all the features: dialling, parallax, SFP mil dot reticle (calibratd at 10x), illumination, rated for spring airguns. The scope on...

    Puffin liked post by chainsaw On thread : Scope tracking
    I check calibration on all scopes where I intend to dial, especially if intended range past 500 yrds. Most Leupies (VX6 & VX5) dial closer to IPHY (1.00 in per 100 yards) rather than true moa 1.05...

    Got a few pairs of jeans lined up for the project. Definitely using a plastic bag inserted in whatever I see up.

    Puffin liked post by Woody On thread : A comparison of HD vs non HD high end scopes
    I was fortunate to be able to gather together four high end scopes for comparison in diminishing light conditions. The target was a cypress tree 200 m distant. The basic foliage was dull green with...

    Puffin liked post by andyanimal31 On thread : Scope recommendations
    Funny that you reckon 500m isn't extreme. To get your shot placement in the clean kill zone you have to really be on your game as far as correct elevations and wind call. I would doubt that there...

    Puffin liked post by Bagheera On thread : Scope recommendations
    I disagree. Shooting an animal at 500m is extreme. I expect flyblown could do it with a burris ( ive seen excellent 300m shooting with one) but the average shooter like me will need more like a $2000...

    Midway through last year I was at a bit of a crossroads with hunting. I wasn’t sure why, but I needed to do something different. I’m not much of a long range hunter, and I was doing well enough bush...
