The CZickness XLIII prepping for winter.

Nice Howa indeed. I need to get a small caliber CF bolt gun. Did yours come with the Legacy Int'l DBM from factory? I had one in .308 (Hogue stock) for a time and eventually upgraded. Knob too.

My scope/bore height is determined by its purpose. Target rifles usually get higher rings and a cheek pad. Hunting rigs stay low as applicable.

I'm surprised the Wolf Gold did as well as it did. I've had less than stellar results with it myself.

Yes, factory DBM setup, but it's all plastic. The factory stock is made by HTI and has aluminum pillars. I've read tons of complaints of the factory plastic cracking when torqueing the action screws. There are two companies making an aluminum trigger guard/magwell: DIP and Jefferson Outdoor. The Jefferson Outdoor route has two options, use the factory Howa plastic magazine (just like DIP) or you can buy a setup that uses a CZ 527 metal magazine. I chose DIP because I have no issues with the factory magazine (unless I work the bolt too slowly) and I liked the shape of the trigger guard more than the Jefferson models.

On the mend. Meds doing the work. I'm on light diet as not to agitate.

Damnit man.
Take it easy and get well.
Will this change your diet in future...???

No personal experience, but I know that "type" of setup is popular for PRS and NRL22.

wait ... wait...

"It" would be hot -- or -- "You" would be hot

I hope she was talking about me….

My people could smash through a loaf of Braunschweiger but not me.
Souse.....

Head cheese....

All regular fare for those peoples but hell to the no.

Morning peoples. Up and braved the Walmart and Kroger this morning already. Brought donuts home. Found a couple stocking stuffer ideas for myself. I absolutely love this time of day… Early mornings are my favorite. Nobody out and about.

Braunschweiger…. mmmmmmmm that’s a delicacy in my family. Spread on mini rye breads with mustard. Mmmmmmmmmm

I was not too fond of the plastic magwell/guard either. Didnt seem stout.

Probably should. Red meat and cheese are Kryptonite to me so that's not exciting.

I think we are gonna go buy a Roku today. What does everyone else use for a streaming device? Service? Our Firestick is about 10 years old and it’s constantly not working… Google says Roku is the best rated.

Way I figure it's a 2fer; I consume veg's through the meat of the animal that ate them. Even for a Kraut, I never cared for braunschweiger. Or Weiswurst.

Rye and mustard is a staple food. Throw some hard salami on that slab and you are leiderhosen official.

 

[RustyHornet]

This was a staple at Gma’s house when we were kids. Nothing better than getting out of the swimming pool and chowing down on those treats.

Gun Talk ! (it happens every now and then 'round these parts)

As it happens, I've been gunnin' for one of these scopes, as I'm over-the-top crazy about Japanese glass. I have one of SWFA's fixed 10X scopes, and love it, but it's just not enough magnification for the more capable rifle.

So .... whala .... Black Friday Special from SWFA, and I jumped on it . The 20X scope, with nice extras. Mine is on order !

Very simple reticle, which is easier for me to see (than the typical LR Christmas-tree reticles).
Love this one !

So I'm putting you long-range Gala Event competition participants on notice ..... I've thrown-down-the-gauntlet !

Pick up a copy of Strelok Pro, then run your most accurate round past Tarzans Labradar. It will let you generate some pretty useful reference images of the hold over for that optic like this one for my G4i reticle on the Sig 716

Our upstairs TV uses a Roku Ultra in order to stream at 4k. We have problems with it fairly often (stops responding and needs to be hard booted). Alternatively downstairs I use the lower end Nvidia Shield, which is based on Android. I prefer it myself. The one feature it has that Roku doesn't is bluetooth support. Doesn't sound that important, but being able to put on a pair of headphones and listen to TV when everyone else is asleep, or listening to other things has worked out really well in our household. It's more expensive, but worth it to me. The one thing I hate is that they've done an update that now constantly has ads on the home screen. I hate that .

Guess I could have provided links:

NVIDIA SHIELD TV 4K HDR

The best streaming media device today with all the amazing features.

Amazon product ASIN B07YP94PBJ
The more expensive one offers much better stream gaming from what I understand, but the forum won't let me link it for some reason...
