re: 6.5 CM +Peak Ammo Range Review

Steep, but doable. Just practice with the cheap stuff. Save your shells -- they are reloadable.

How much did a box cost?

re: Adding length of pull to a rifle

Note that in addition to the slip-on recoil pad, you can also buy gel inserts that are designed to fit inside a recoil pad. If you combine the two you can make a slip-on pad even longer. I've done it and it works well to adjust the length of pull.

I'd go with the.243 provided she can confidently shoot it.

re: Backpacking meal ideas

Lots of good ideas here, but Mountain House is the most straightforward option. I don't like a complicated cooking process when on the trail. There are various meals to choose from, but it is hard to go wrong with the Chicken and Dumplings or the Chilli Mac. Note that you need one of those long handled spoons if you want to eat straight out of the bag.
A great post. Thank you for taking the time.

I only have experience with Houston. Dallas is better.

re: Would you buy this watch/brand?

Posted by Grebe on 9/26/26 at 11:51 pm to
No. You can get an excellent watch for that amount of money that is neither an homage or a fake. You will have to sift through a lot of bad to find them. But I can't advise wearing obvious copies.

re: Rat Shot in 22LR Pistol

Posted by Grebe on 9/26/26 at 6:13 am to
Correct; the Wrangler is a lower production cost Single Six that is mostly aluminum. Note that there is a Wrangler, which has fixed sights and is .22 LR only, and a Super Wrangler that has adjustable sights and an extra cylinder that shoots .22 WMR. The Wranglers are neat guns and very affordable. If I did not already own a convertible Single Six, I'd buy the Super Wrangler. There is not enough difference between the two to justify the high cost of a Single Six at today's prices.
Born in 72 and I've never seen Full House. Dukes of Hazard was awesome. I liked it when they shot dynamite out of their compound bows.

re: 21 Years Ago: Hurricane Katrina

Posted by Grebe on 8/29/26 at 6:13 am to
I got sick of small town life rather quickly and moved back to New Orleans about six weeks after Katrina. The following months were bizarre. There was hardly anyone in the city. Maybe around 20K people? No telling. Large sections of New Orleans were not electrified. You could drive for miles and not see a single light or another car. At the time, I lived in the Warehouse District in a building with around 90 units. Me and my wife were the only ones there. It was like living in the hotel in The Shining.

re: Thermal Scope Question

Posted by Grebe on 8/26/26 at 6:37 pm to
If this is what it takes to get into a thermal scope, how do you feel about the IR ones like a Wraith for someone who just wants an occasional use option for 200 yards or often much less?
Here is a related consideration. UDP or SDP status aside, how would one go about properly taking a DP? It seems like the picture would be upside down. Is the right DP technique to use a mirror? Asking for a friend.

He needs to turn the tables on his accusers by claiming that the pics were solicited. Every single one of them.

re: The Rolex business model is dumb

Posted by Grebe on 8/25/26 at 5:32 am to
I'd rather have an Omega anyway. Rolex is the luxury watch brand for people that don't know anything about luxury watches. Absolutely iconic watches, but I just would not want to wear the same thing that everyone else has.
I sat on the swing in front of the fraternity house and drank beer in the rain for hours.
It is still not in the same league as other locations though. If that property had development potential, it would have been leveled long ago. Instead we are debating whether a broke city should foot the bill for its demolition. The market is saying the juice is not worth the squeeze. I'm inclined to believe it.

re: What to do about NOLA Plaza Tower

Posted by Grebe on 8/19/26 at 11:48 am to
Actually, I was there just yesterday and it sucks. You are correct that there is development in the area. But it isn't prime CBD or Warehouse District property in the same way that other areas (e.g. Convention Center, WWII Museum) are with respect to importance for the city. I don't like that the building is the problem that it is. But in a world of limited resources, I favor spending money on other priorities, like fixing the sewers, pipes, and streets, over tearing down a building because it is ugly.
Do nothing. Invest in an even larger fence around it and then do absolutely nothing. The city doesn't need to spend money on stupid stuff like this. That area of downtown is a dump anyway.
