Why yes, yes it will. When I zeroed it (100 yds), you could cover the final group with a nickel.

I have 2 Remington 1100 LT's from the mid 70's. I can't remember either ever having a feed problem and both have been through 10k or so shells.

I do wish they had replaceable choke tubes though. That wasn't a thing back then.
My apologies. I don't frequent this board. Subject edited.
Is it? I paid around $1000 when it was new. I've taken excellent care of it, but it is a used firearm.
Weatherby Vanguard V2 in .308 with a 3-9x42 Zeiss scope. Pristine condition.
Haven't sold a gun in decades, but I have a deer rifle I won't be using anymore. Back in the day, I'd have run an ad in the penny classifieds.

Are there any local pages or chat boards that allow such a listing?

Good eats in Minneapolis?

Have an overnight in Minneapolis coming up and never been to Minnesota.

A. Is there any native/local cuisine or specialties I need to try?

2. If "no" for the above, are there any really good restaurants in/near town?

Still a perfectly capable laptop, do you know if it has an SSD or a HDD? Have you tried cracking the bottom open to spray some compressed air?


Cracked it open this morning to see if there are any parts I can salvage. Thing is pristine...no dust or loose parts rattling around. As mentioned above, everything looks to be soldered to the motherboard. Just ordered a new laptop, Lenovo this time around.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I may still run by Tim's to see if it can be salvaged as a backup.

Best PC/laptop repair shop in BR?

Posted by jeepfreak on 8/20/24 at 2:59 pm
So my just out of warranty laptop just started freezing up. I spent the better part of a day running diagnostics in BIOS and updating drivers b/w freezes. Finally just backed up all my files on an external and did a fresh install of Win 11. Still periodically freezing up on me.

TL/DR: where's the best repair shop in the Baton Rouge area for a laptop?
I'm not in NOLA, but it's available in BR at the Asian grocery stores on Florida blvd, so I'd guess the Asian groceries in NOLA would have it also. :cool:

If you're here for a home game, you absolutely won't get better food in a restaurant than you would walking around campus on game day with a sign around your neck that says, "Yankee here. Feed me."

Appreciate that advice. Was the loan you had with that bank?


No, I took the loan out while I was living in Ga. When I moved back to La. and sold the car, my local bank handled the loan payoff and kept the resale payment in escrow until the title was transferred. Basically, the buyer paid my bank, I handed over the keys, and we met back at the bank for the title transfer once it arrived. Once the title was transferred, the bank cut me a check for the excess.

As I said, because I already had a relationship with the bank they did it as a courtesy. I'd imagine some banks would handle it for a fee if you aren't a depositor.
It may be worth visiting a local bank and asking if they will handle the sale for a fee. The last time I handled a private sale as the seller was the same situation. I had a vehicle I bought (and financed) in Georgia and sold in La. I still owed money and the buyer was paying cash.

My local bank, who I already had a relationship with, acted as an escrow by taking the payment, paying off the loan, and transferring the title once it arrived. As I was a current customer they did this at no charge, but without a relationship you may be able to find a local bank that will handle for a fee.
Now that Google has dropped Play Music, is there a reliable/reputable app that sells individual songs for download? I know I can buy from Amazon and download to a PC and then transfer them, but I'd rather a more direct approach. I don't want to use a streaming service.

Thanks in advance.
