    Wonder how the Gladiator / Tacoma comparison plays out. I own a Tundra and also a weekend cruiser Wrangler TJ so I am really divided. The Taco has so much pedigree behind it. The Gladiator has the Jeep mystique and allegedly tows a shit ton for a mid size... Not in the market. Just curious.

    In the gun mags Hornady allegedly making sub sonic ammo in 30-30. A lot more case space in 30-30 v 300BLK. Wonder if they can squeeze out any more performance and keep it quiet. Anyone have any experience shooting 30-30 suppressed? Figured this was the right thread.

    The mount itself is even stamped as 1in

    We have a pretty good wintertime, shallow water grouper season here. Took the bay boat out for a three man limit of gags on Sunday.

    I love boat ownership! One of the coldest mornings of the year here as well. But the fish are biting so the bearings must go on.

    You should have the "pleasure" of firing someone's Skyy 9. That little gun is almost un-shoot-able with its trigger.

    Went and sat in the 78 degree heat and humidity yesterday. Saw some does and that was it. May go back tomorrow to lay down a doe for the meat. I posted last year with the trail cam pics of wild dogs in one of our food plots. Last week some old man was walking down the road and got mauled to death by wild dogs in the same county. Other side of the county so almost certainly not the same bunch but just a reminder to be careful. I will be hunting with a handgun on my person from here on out which is a PIA due to the weight / bulk.

    I took my 9YO "charter client for life" out to some tidal creeks in the FL Panhandle yesterday. Rode through a howling wind and moving tide on the technical duck boat. We drowned some shrimp under a popping cork with the Daiwa Fuego 3000 I got him for his birthday about 10 days ago. Boated four reds about this size as well as four fat trout. Capt Daddy broke off a "wall hanger" trout at the gunnel which will result in a only three star yelp review from the boy. Good day otherwise. Shrimp made things happen. Wind was cooking and you can see the sky. We wouldn't have caught much on artificials.

    The insustry has gun owners over a barrel. Not to cloak this thread up but certain current events are fake but the ammo shortage is real? Among gun owners who generally keep shit on hand for a crisis? This is from a Florida Panhandle outdoor shop where I buy fishing stuff and NO GUNS because it's a Fn ripoff under normal circumstances.

    Took a Sunday trip out of Crystal River, FL. Lots of bites.
  11. bigshark88
    One more

    Florida Panhandle bite was on fire today ahead of an incoming front. Technical duck boat FTW.

    Please post an ATN in-field report after you wring it out.

    Since you have both lemme ask a question: how do they compare in terms of ride quality and road noise?
  15. bigshark88
    Subscribed. I put together a Jeep Wrangler a few years ago. Laid in a pretty badass stereo on account of the wind/top/road noise. Needed a Pandora station to ride around. Love me some Black Crowes Radio. As others have said I kind of came up with them in and out of my musical life in the 90s through HS and college. Had tickets to the Tampa show this Spring and I am pissed it got canceled.

    Guy next to me launched the whole trailer and boat together once. The parking lot to ramp angle was pretty abrubt and when his trailer tires backed up over the transition the trailer came off the ball and the whole rig (boat + trailer) went in the water. Super busy ramp too. His old lady was at the boat helm ready to back it off the trailer and went apeshit when she started ghost riding backwards towards the water. We were loading up a boat on the adjacent ramp. I was at the helm of that boat and got a good look at 15mph splash down. Their boat floated right off. Don't recall if their skeg was dragging or what other damage they got. We strapped down and haules ass. The guy was wading into the canal with a rope I guess trying to get the trailer out of the basin.

    Thank you for replying. I spent some time on YouTube this afternoon and picked up on the NV / Thermal dichotomy. The same ATN optic you describe above is $2500 on Amazon right now. The first 12 reviews basically consistently say that the unit is a dud and ATN is/was unresponsive. I may park the rifle in the back of the safe and wait for the market to get back to normal before putting this project together. In a year or so I will have the can and I will hopefully be able to get ammo at the local shops. I could go a different direction with the bolt gun at that point if we're still in crazy land.

    From the gun owner's thread: Anyone running a thermal optic they'd recommend? I was poised to purchase an ATN ThOR 4 but the Amazon reviews have scared me off. My buddy has a FLIR but it looks like they're out of the consumer market. Budget is $2000-$3000. What would I lose if I went instead with a lower priced optic like the ATN 3-14x X-Sight 4K Pro that Lat22 posted on Page 1? Not finding a really good balance between price and features. Host gun will be a bolt action 300BLK suppressor purchase pending authorization. Nocturnal hog and coyote elimination out to 200YDS.

    That's a very nice rifle.
  21. bigshark88
    I blasted some steel plates with it. It works

    Sorry for the horrible picture. Another buddy of mine found this old school Colt Woodsman in a box of crap his ex was going to take to the landfill. It had been her dad's. Texted this pic to one local gunsmith who suggested cerakote to look blued. Lots of rust. No serial number that I could see and a wild looking Bakelite grip.
  23. bigshark88
    My buddy SBRed this Sig 551. Pretty cool weapon
  24. bigshark88
    Anyone think if I order an 870 Marine Magnum it'll be a POS given Remington sucking at the gun business again?
  25. bigshark88
    I also have a 7 shot 686 and it'd be hard to imagine a better revolver IMO
