Budget 308 bolt rifle?
Can confirm. Very accurate for the price. Certainly had some irritating quirks (looking at you, wobbly/sticky/PITA bolt) but the prices were amazing and the triggers were decent, even better with mcarbo parts. -
Carry weapons for women?
Yep, extremely useful for those with weaker hands to use as a handstop Iv'e been showing family members who thought they were physically incapable of using glocks (or any semiauto) this method. All of them, age/arthritis and all, have been able to successfully manipulate full size and... -

G2S for $210
Talk about low barrier to entry, awesome price. FIFY (don't own either, but at least the taurus is more likely than not to go off when requested) -
Looking into a compact
Concur with the guys above, if your grip is good it completely changes how the pistol feels. I found it took quite a few rounds to start developing a grip i'd even consider acceptable, so don't be discouraged if it's not instantly perfect. Quality instruction is worth its weight in gold, and 20x... -
Get home gun
Thanks to both of yall for identifying it. Looks like a perfect small range kit or addable module to a ghb, I'm a fan of multi use items, keeps the clutter down. -
Sock recommendations
No, that's what is really strange about them. Warm wash and low dryer heat, every time. I have a pair of the runners cut (or whatever they call it) that wont reliably stay on my heel now because it is significantly shorter in length than it started life. Thanks for the heads up, I need a few... -
First Aid kit requirements
It's what I use, because of the compact nature. I use the ones off countycomm, cheap enough I bought a test pair. They worked on every piece of trash/scrap denim, cotton, synthetic, and leather I tried them on. Certainly a speed tradeoff though, lose 2" every cut, it adds up. -
Get home gun
I like that kit, better form factor than an ammo can of mags and a soft pouch. Plus it can be added or subtracted from a kit based on your needs. Looks pretty close to a messenger style laptop bag. Who makes that bag, if you don't mind? -
Sock recommendations
Well, that is certainly an interesting position for a sock company to take. Why are you making pr statements about social justice, just make great socks and stay out of politics. While I would still rather buy from them than a vast array of others, since they are an American company, employing... -
Sock recommendations
Merino wool blend, different weight dependent on weather. Darn Tough, Smartwool, Icebreaker, farm-to-feet, theres others but I can't remember them off the top of my head. -
Boot recommendations?
Yeah if you held a 3.5mph pace every second at work, that would be a stupid short life span. However, most of us don't, so they last about 6 months. 1400 miles is a lot, 28 miles a day would be a pretty aggressive schedule. The lifespan really does suck on them though. -
Boot recommendations?
Yeah like Outrider said, they wear out quick. I'm impressed you got 700 miles out of them. Its cooperate knowledge where I work that Merrells are a consumable good with a 6 month shelf life, I have found it to be largely true. Benefit is there is no break in period, they are ready to use off the... -
Boot recommendations?
Lowa, keen, danner, under armor, merrell and vasque all make good boots I have worn. Lowa being bar none the best boots ive ever had. Guys I know who put serious miles in under packs speak highly of solomon, La Sportiva, garmont, Asolo, altra, even hoka. I don't like solomons, some danners, or... -
Get home gun
If i'm reading the OP correctly then the purpose is to get son from work/appt to a family rally point to the north-west. Thus it can be a bug out kit cached at the appt and size is not as much of a concern. I suppose kit choice would be dependent on the expected threat. Hard to run around with a...
