I have Aimpoints, an ACOG, an EOTech and several Nightforce scopes.... My favorite general purpose carbine optic is a Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x24

Favorite on a subgun is an Aimpoint.

I doubt it would have happened with a real gun But I wouldn't be able to carry a real gun all the time.

Nope, didn't get my keys any faster.... I know it was stupid. I had never noticed it before, but the grip of the Keltec and my Moto Tundra phone are very close in size. They even have similar checkering. I got away with it once, I guarantee that's a mistake I won't make twice. What would really suck...

I was trying to head out for a business trip and had gotten up earlier than normal, got all my stuff squared away at the office and then went to pick up my rental car as soon as they opened. They did not have their s--t together and kept jerking me around, the keys to the rental were at another offi...

I have an old Mountain Eagle (same as Ramline Exactor IIRC) that is a double stack .22lr... It has always functioned flawlessly.

Yeah, Obama is no Lenin... Lenin wasn't this bad.

Why did you post that here? "Artistic images" means blood and gore. Now, if she had her face ground off or something like that, then that would be an appropriate picture for the "Artistic images" section here.

There is a fool-proof way to tell when Oboma is lying.... His lips move.

They both solve the exact same problem: seperating shooters from their money.

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that most broken charging handles out there are because of ignorant morons who try to clear stuck shells by pounding on the charging handle or even slamming it against corners/trees/whatever. My favorite move is the ones who stomp on it, often pointing a loaded gun at th...

They won't lose any seats, in fact they might gain some... You know those billions and billions of "stimulus" dollars that were appropriated on an emergency basis but only about 10% has been spent... They are holding onto that money until the summer of 2010 then they will be tossing it abo...

Just be aware that if you use the mound of dirt approach, some bullets and fragments will ricochet off of the mound and land up to a couple of hundred yards beyond it. If you want a real eye-opener, shoot tracers at a dirt berm backstop. :) If I was building a range and didn't own the land beyond th...

You're screwed. That Lupus drug won't sell because it's never Lupus.

It is amazing that there are people in this thread so insecure in their sexual orientation that they will risk being blinded or even killed because they are afraid of looking gay. I wonder if when they dream about sex if the dude sticking them in the ass wears a condom, or if wearing a condom would ...

Be sure to mention that moonclips only work in guns that are modified to use them. The Midway customer product reviews on moonclips is full of idiots saying that the clips suck because they don't work in their uncut 686 (or whatever) cylinder.... duh....

$9.25 shipping? I pay $10.50. I guess all "dealer" accounts aren't created equal

I was told that the Palomar knot consumes a lot of leader each time. So that is a potential downside of this knot -- replacing the leader more often. Yes, it does, but the end of the leader gets chewed up if you are catching fish or fishing in cover, so you need to be replacing it or trimming it ba...

I guess I should add that my rule of thumb on leads is they're between half and as long as the fish you're going after so it provides enough length to clear the back of the jaw, the gills and the front part of the dorsal. These are the places IMO where the sharpest exposed edges exist on most game ...

rsilvers wrote:What knot do you use to tie the leader to the line? Do you use the same test for each?

I use an albright knot and trim the tag ends tight so that it flows through the guides on the rod. I usually use a heavier test leader than my line since it is subject to a lot of abuse.

I don't spool the reel with it because, as you found, it typically has a lot of memory and just doesn't behave nicely on the reel. It also can be fairly large in diameter and you cannot fit as much on the reel as a similarly rated braid. That usually isn't an issue in freshwater, but when I go for s...

I use the Albright to join a flourocarbon leader to braid. uni to uni also works well, but the albright runs through rod guides better. I'll use up to 20 feet of leader in clear water and it seems to help a lot... I have a buddy who doesn't like to reel his leader into his rod guides (because he use...

The palomar is fine for braid. Plus, it's so fast and easy that I use it whenever possible in all line types.
