    New to me Savage 111 in .270 WIN. Thoughts on ammo and glass

    I'd really like to hunt with it, but for now I'm going to say no, it'll only be used to slaughter paper and gallon jugs.

    New to me Savage 111 in .270 WIN. Thoughts on ammo and glass

    What am I looking at in the bore aside from the obvious damage? It was a sight unseen deal, so I didn't get a chance to inspect. Externally, it's in good shape other than a couple of light blemishes on the stock near the butt, but I haven't even pulled the bolt yet .

    New to me Savage 111 in .270 WIN. Thoughts on ammo and glass

    Honestly I don't know? I've never had really scopes other than a couple of cheapies on rim fires. ( I have a 3-9 on an AR but haven't even finished sighting it in) What would be good? Better? I don't know if this matters, but my eyesight isn't what it used to be... Would I need more...

    New to me Savage 111 in .270 WIN. Thoughts on ammo and glass

    I recently acquired a used Savage 111 in 270 but know little about the platform. Does anyone know what twist the rifling is and what weight would be ideal for it? I bought 150ish rounds of Hornady 130grn ballistic tipped ammo with it, so I'm guessing 130 works? Does anyone have experience saying...

    First OPE start of the season

    Not too worried about it. If haven't had problems in 20 plus years, then I doubt I'll start any time soon. My L110 Deere has about 750hrs on it and it's been ran with nothing but E10 for all of its life. Always shut off at the end of the season and always fires up at the begining of the next and...

    Death, destruction and Briggs carnage!

    Alright, here is the conclusion of this mess - I did some searching and as much as I wanted a Kaw, Vanguard, Kohler Command or other premium engine, I settled for another Briggs. I found a supposed low hours 23hp "professional" twin on marketplace, so I bought that. The benefits to that are that...

    First OPE start of the season

    It is carbureted. I've had really good luck with all my OPE not having any fuel related issues so far.

    First OPE start of the season

    Got the bug to hear my 25hp Commercial Turf run yesterday so I gave it a crank - when it was put away for the winter last season, I never did anything to prepare it. I had meant to but life happened and I just never bothered. So no stabilizer, no topping the tank off, no oil change, nothing (in...

    25hp Briggs PXi break in procedure?

    I more or less second all the above answers, but will add that when I got my 25 Briggs Commercial Turf, I changed at .5, then 1hr and 5hrs and was glad that I did as there was lots of shiny stuff in the oil. After the 3rd change it looked relatively clear, so I just do annual changes now.

    Snowblower Carb...too Lean?

    Then I bet it would probably smooth out with an air filter. It would pose just enough restriction that it would richen up a touch. Obviously that's not a feasible solution, so enlarging the pilot a tiny bit would do the trick. Measure it, figure the area of that circle, then add about 5 to 7...

    Snowblower Carb...too Lean?

    Sounds like you're a hair lean on the pilot only. I'd measure and go up 5% in diameter - probably .001" or .002" I'm guessing there's no air filter on the snow blower? That or the fact that it's cold when you run it is probably the issue.

    Aircraft carrier collides with cargo ship? How does this happen?

    After reading the comments section from the "What's Going On With Shipping" video, it looks like this is not uncommon. Many comments from merchant marine members to pilots of small craft like yachts saying that even though they had right of way, the US warships ignore it and in some cases...

    Plane crash has occurred in Philidelphia; Jan 2025

    Is there equipment to train for the disorienting effects we're talking about here? If it does exist, is it limited to high budget (military) uses?

    4L60E knock in bell housing or not

    That noise is only when fully warmed? The video was taken at idle? 600rpm? Does it change when the revs go up? Unplug coil or injectors, that will take away the explosive force and quiet any noise from a rod bearing

    Combo microwave or dedicated vent hood?

    Thank you for your input folks! We just ordered a Hauslane 850cfm unit.

    Combo microwave or dedicated vent hood?

    What do you do for reheating? We tend to have leftovers and it seems the more efficient way to heat them up instead of cranking up the oven or range.

    Combo microwave or dedicated vent hood?

    That would be a really cool solution but unfortunately not an option here.

    Combo microwave or dedicated vent hood?

    Yeah, that's something that I don't have is 240.. And also worth noting is that I only have the capability to use the 3 1/2" x 10" rectangular rear duct, which if we go with a combo unit, we'll have to relocate the exhaust outlet in the house to account for the increased height of the combo...

    Combo microwave or dedicated vent hood?

    Hey guys, more home reno questions.. As I slowly creep along, it's been decided that getting some ventilation up for our shiny new stove would be smart. My wife with her serious penchant for order and organization wants a combo unit as it gets the micro off the counter and frees up space. I like...

    It just keeps getting worse for Boeing

    All this talk of financial instability, bankruptcy and splitting/reforming - how much of a concern is it that someone with deep pockets who isn't our friend buys Boeing (like China/Chinese state run firm)?
