Oregon and Washington BS thread

Hey any of you guys know a place I can shoot an AR out to 200 yds somewhere within 1.5 hours of Redmond? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask and feel free to DM me

 

If you know someone who is a member at Snoqualmie valley rifle range, they have a 200yrd target/berm.

 

Sadly, I don't really know anyone. Also I'd like to avoid having an overzealous RO breathe down my neck because I've loaded more than one round in my magazine. Thanks for the info tho!

 

The RO's there aren't nazi's like the other ranges. Technically it is moderated by the users, and there are actually no designated RO's.

"Rate of fire and magazine capacity - There is no limitation on magazine capacity or how many rounds can be loaded into magazines. There is no limitation on rate of fire, the only requirement is that all rounds are delivered down range in a controlled manner and impact the berm."

Also, I just remembered about this. I believe it's $10 or something like that. http://www.svrifle.org/site/f83b229...p://www.svrifle.org/Hunter_Sight-In.html#2758

I have a few friends who are members so I usually just tag along with them. Been meaning to become a member at some point, just haven't done it yet.

 

bob isn't my uncle

 

Well...nothing. Guess I'll be checking waterholes tomorrow.

 

Found this morning. Not smelling so great at this point.

 

Where did he end up?

 

They don't smell all that great when they are still alive. If the hair isn't slipping yet you can at least save the fur, but don't eat any of that meat. Bear fat quickly goes rancid. If coyotes won't eat it you know it's bad. Plunk the skull in a bucket of water over the winter. It's not too smelly and the microbes will eat all of the nasties off the skull without causing any shrinkage.

 

Awwww man, that's a bummer. I admire your persistence! Is the hide salvageable? I'm sure the meat is sour.

 

Really close to where I shot him. It went straight uphill and side-hilled for a bit and pretty much came back to where I shot it.

The hair is starting to slip a bit. Every taxidermist I've talked to has been really insistent that you have to have the hide off an animal, frozen, and to them within 24 hours or its toast. I could go skin it still. The flies were already on it and up the nose and mouth though...

Thanks, definitely a bummer. I came really damn close to it the next day too. Just off by enough to not see it.

 

I just spent $15 on a single bottle of beer. I don't know if I can finish it, and I've drank hot PBR before. At 10.9% ABV, at least I might catch a buzz.

 

Awesome. Just got home from discount tire putting on some new wheels and tires on my truck. They ended up snapping a faulty stud. Now I get to take it in to Toyota on Monday to have them fix my stud. Its a 2015 with 2500 miles on it.

 

I hate to break this to you, but they are all "faulty". I don't know why, but the new wheel studs shear off very easily. I hit a rock in the desert and sheared off 4 of 6 studs, and they were torqued to spec. I replaced them all with ARP wheel studs and haven't had an issue yet. I suppose it's because our wheels are "hub centric" and not lug centric so the studs really just need to hold the wheel on, but they still suck.

 

That's not what I want to hear. Im not looking forward to having to replace studs. I did it once on my work truck and it was a pain in the ass.

 

As long as you are gentle with them, they will last a lifetime. If you try to do a nascar pit stop like discount tire, you will break them. I offer to tip the tech $20 if they don't use air tools and actually use a torque wrench if I have to get work done at a tire shop.

 

Thats why I like Les Schwab. When I go to Schwab they use torque wrenches on my vehicles.

 

I refuse to give those douchebags another penny. I work for the government, and like to spend your tax dollars on items made in America if I have to spend them. I had a torn sidewall in the work truck and went to Schwab's. I asked several times if they had a tire made in the USA in that size. I was very adamant that I needed US tires. The employee said they had US made tires, and he would personally ensure they were. I walk out to the truck 1/2 hour later and guess what is clearly stamped in the sidewall.... made in china. They do have decent customer service overall though.

 

Im curious as to where you get your tires done then if you seem displeased with schwab and discount.

 

I go to Premium lube in Pendleton, but they are 'Yota guys and just a small shop. America's/discount tire isn't bad, I just like to talk to the tech before they go to reefing on lug nuts is all.
