    Lmao....true story


    Haha. Wtf is going on this morning.....


    You are welcome to play with my little pistol. Remember, its a weapon, you dont need to be all nice and senstive with it. Grab it, jerk it, toss the fucker at a tree if you wish. Guns were made for war. If it cant handle the abuse, i dont want it. I dropped my pistol in the river at the water crossing once. Lol..ooops. She works great. I also have the AR and shotgun that you are welcome to shoot as well

    Wont say no to handling your gun.

    But doubt I'll go the AR way with all the regulations and negativity directed toward them (I'm on the side of gun dont kill people, people kill people, but dont want to deal with some BS right after getting one). I'm thinking more along the lines of a .3006 bolt action for hunting. Something big enough for bigger game. Love me some venison.

    I prefer to cuddle in my bed for warmth.

    But in all seriousness. Yes. I've been through the safety course so all need is to buy tags and a license.

    Ruger makes the ‘Ruger American’ it’s a cheap bolt action rifle, comes in everything from 6.5 Creedmor to .30-06 and everything in between. It’s a decent rifle, I’ve got it in .308 and was able to hit steel at about 700yds with it. Was very impressed by it. Can usually find it on sale at BIG5 with an optic for around $500-600.

    Save trees, shoot steel

    As far as handguns, if you’re after a modern plastic semi auto, then I’d go to the range and (rent) shoot the “common ones” see what you like best. Some really do feel different in the hands when your shooting vs when you’re just holding them (Assuming you even have a proper grip, no offense).


    For rifles, they feel different but, an entry level 308 is all you need to start learning. Upgrade to a nice rifle in a few years (and few thousand rounds). That Ruger American would be a great start.


    Of course, all opinions. Who am I lol
    I can talk ya ear off tomorrow if the topic comes up


    *as far as AR’s go, buy yourself a $100 lower and sit on it. At least you’ll have bought “the rifle” on paper and will be grandfathered in, in case the laws go even more south (you know they’re coming for semi autos).

    So my bed battery is shot. Bought a battery tender and I’ve left it plugged in 2 seperatevtimes gor 2-4 days and it still only gets up to 8.4V steady. It’ll be 13.3-13.8 charging but dropped off within minutes.

    What house batteries is everyone running? Looking for purely deep cycle most Amp hours I can get.

    If you'd prefer the less mean look, I believe Rancho may still have the pink camo one in stock.
    (it's the one they had me use to show I knew how to handle the boom-boom-stick)

    What kind of tender do you have, and does it have a reconditioning mode (desulphation)?
    I nuked my trailer battery through neglect because life, but when I got a new deep cycle for it I also bought a CTEK maintainer.

    I got this one, but apparently this specific model in currently unavailable. Anyway, worth looking itno if if have a spendy battery to keep alive.

    Yeah, at 8.4v you lost 2 cells. Usually once they are gone they gone.
