In my experience it boils down to cause, then gun. You can have a $1,500 rifle/scope as your main attraction, and sell fewer tickets than having a $400.00 pump-action shotgun in the lime light, if the cause isn't worthy, or popular. Brag up a popular cause, and a high end firearm - tickets...

Looks like 'bout a 3" drop-point. Good for any, and all chores (and a purdy one too).

The following is from Missouri Mule: "Fuel gauge testing. 1.turn key to on position. Disconnect then fuel pump module connector. The neddle should go to low end of gauge scale. If Ok go to step 2,if not go to step 4. step 2. connect jumper wire between the sending unit ground circuit cavity...

The fuel level sending unit is a common problem on 12 valve Dodges. A search of this forum entering; "sending unit", or "fuel gauge", will result in several threads that cover diagnosis, and repair. Unhappily, the fix (even the diagnosis) requires either removing the truck's box, or fuel...

Looks to me that the feed angle is really steep. I'm wondering if when you apply pressure on the magazine the mag is moving up just enough to lessen that angle?????

Your tent's not too shabby either. Slick setup all the way 'round.

Dad grew up during the depression as well. To the day he died, he was frugal (never had a new home, or vehicle). I've taken several critters with .300 Savage rifles. In fact I carried a Rem 722 for a few days this fall. The last deer I took with one has been a few years ago now, a big doe...

I tip my cap to your Nosler BT - a fantastic bullet for deer and such. Chucklin' at your reference to "minute of pie pan". Without much effort I can recall a tin saucer that hung by a length of cable on a corner post at the far end of the pasture behind the barn. Every fall Dad would fire two...

The way it used to be: spend a lazy day rummaging the stocks of local reloading shops, buying a few small pistol primers here, a few magnum rifle primers there, a pound of powder from another, a couple boxes of bullets at yet another. You purchased on price, convenience, and loyalty -...

Wayne M, Sure hope you "escape" and realize the challenges, and satisfactions that come with reloading/shooting.

KBurgoyne, in my case it's probably closer to obsessive compulsive (or just plain nuts - your choice). I tried my hand at casting bullets a few times, even had a tutor that helped, but I just never got the "itch". For one thing, I managed to stay clear of black powder, and those guys do some...

".....This is something I hope to get into later in life,...." Thumbs up! If you're borderline obsessive compulsive (check the on/off switch of the coffee pot several times before leaving the house), it's for you. If you're a "close 'nough" kinda guy, proceed with caution - but do...

Looking at how we got here is pretty straight forward (I’m going back many decades). There are more of us. Component availability went from the back pages of catalogs, magazines, and esoteric Mom and Pop shops to big then even bigger “big box” stores. Then came the electronic age, and...

I've been a reloader (centerfire, and shotgun) for many years. It's been my hobby/obsession. I don't bowl, I shoot. I don't golf, I shoot. I don't - well, you get the idea. I've seen scarcity of individual components a few times; primers were tight for a while, bullets were scarce for a while...

"....Sure enjoyed the ride home in my new truck........" *chuckles* Tried to warn folks!

How's the performance now?

I'll always have one. They are stout as a mule, and do any work you can do with a pickup. Given their age, repair/rebuild is a constant - fix what breaks, get to other things when time and money allow. Newer iterations are complex enough to eclipse my mechanical capabilities (and desires), so...

Over the years I've owned a half-dozen or more rifles chambered in .300 Savage, most were Savage 99's, two were Remington bolt action rifles. Like any chambering where lever action rifles are a consideration, factory loads, and load data for reloading result in pressures designed to be safe for...

hmmmmmmm, After thinkin' 'bout this a little, the very first symptom was high coolant temp. Maybe, just maybe, it's water pump, tensioner, fan clutch, or dampner pully. Let's hope so.

My gut reaction is "bellyache", and a bad one - hope I'm wrong. Were it me, I'd be considering a compression check, and leak-down test, but only after ruling out things like water pump, alternator, turbo, tensioner, fan clutch (basically anything that rotates, and has bearings). My heart kinda...
