  1. Keith and Mike
  2. It's a leupold vx-3hd that I had set up on my model 70. Swapped it over on this one temporarily for hunting season. Still studying around for what to ultimately mount on it.
  3. Early Christmas present to myself for this season, sig cross in 6.5 creedmoor. Shout out to the guys at Guns Warehouse up in Cedar Park; good guys to deal with.
  4. I had not realized they moved from Pond Springs until a couple of weeks ago. That's where I picked up that SP5
  5. Touche. I think I'm going to start here and see how i like it before going through the trouble of converting it
  6. My working assumption is that I still need to do the parts swap.
  7. I found that used SP5 for a decent price and went ahead and got it. Going to wait until January and sbr it
  8. If I don't admit I have a gun buying addiction, then it's not a problem.

  10. The Edwards and outcrops of the Trinity should see some appreciable recovery from this event. Down dip sections of the Trinity not so much.
  11. Guy at the store told me '59. I'm going to look up the serial number here in a minute Edit: confirmed
  12. Picked up a pre-64 model 70 in 264 win mag today. Merry Christmas to me
  13. My brother picked this up as a 6th birthday gift for my son. It's Birmingham Small Arms falling block .357, made in Australia. Don't know very much about it yet, but a pretty neat little gun
  14. Just a data point not wholly related to the topic, but a person can easily get sucked into a relatively small diameter gravity main. In 2020, there was a guy in Austin working in a manhole that was flowing and sucked him into a 18" line where he went for a ride until his body was recovered a few miles downstream at the plant.
  15. Between Wharton and Bay City. During the initial filling, a good bit of seepage discharge was observed on downstream side of the reservoir. A bentonite cut off wall was installed at beginning of construction, but there ended up being some sand pockets that weren't effectively cutoff which lead to the seepage issues. I know they're installing some relief wells to mitigate the seepage issue. I don't recall if they also ended up driving sheetpile on the interior of the ring dike.
