Man, that 210 is so tempting for my 338-06, but it simultaneously makes me want to sell it and build a 338-300wsm. I hope the .488 G1 that .250 G7 converts to on the 210is correct. The .611 G1 its on the 225 Etip that I've been shooting makes for a really effective load.
I didn't frame it, because it does that consistently, but I did save pictures for posterity. Paul doesn't know how to turn out crap work, he's a really skilled machinist. We're all blessed that he went full time doing something he loves and is exceptional at. I'll echo what someone else said...
It’s a Model 7 footprint, uses a model 7 trigger and bottom metal so I consider it a 7. The original plan was to use a Remington action, but PTG messed that up twice, and another factory action couldn’t be blueprinted so enter Defiance to save the project. I picked the M7 because it’s even...
Paul does stellar work, I'm embarking on a new project with him myself, after I pick up the one with him currently. If you're looking for someone who really specializes in full custom hunting rifles, you really need to consider @van franke of Plains Precision Firearms. He built my Defiance...
We all find our own place within a genre. The Offspring made me ignore my overbearing parents’ wishes that I didn’t listen to them, but I settled in a little more hardcore than that overall. IMO the real unfriendly punk wasn’t on the radio much anyway, you had to seek that stuff out.
From wiki: actual birth name, Jesus Christ Allin; August 29, 1956 – June 28, 1993) was an American musician who performed and recorded with many groups during his career. His live performances often featured transgressive acts, including self-mutilation, defecating on stage, and assaulting...
My wife and I celebrate Rex Manning day as if it were a national holiday (its April 8th FYI). That film has a ton of great music in it, maybe a little on the pop end, but its a legit music movie. Personally, I knew of Dire Straits from them being on my dad's radio growing up, but Empire...
Jesse from OpIv had a great band later on, way underrated IMO.
Then about a year ago Tim and Jesse said they're going to have new material together again for the first time since OpIv, looking forward to that, has a OpIv with dub kinda sound.
He had a bout of throat cancer a year ago or so, his voice sounds older and rougher now, but still one of the best to ever do it. I love all his work, especially the two solo albums, the man is a living legend. I have "Another State of Mind" on DVD such a great glimpse into the time, I'm too...
Both of the two main versions of Bro Hymn really speak to me, its a sad song with a sad surrounding story. When it comes on my playlist, I take the time to stop and remember the friends I've lost. The Interrupters are a much more modern band, but have come heavily into my rotation in the last...
Just went to Social D/Bad Religion last week, man that was a great show. Skate punk is still in heavy rotation on my ipod, with a heavy dose of third wave ska since I was a bit of a band nerd in those years. Pennywise, NOFX, Rancid, Anti-Flag, Descendents, Street Dogs, Tilt, Downfall, OpIv...
