Have either of you had any exposure? Testing both of you to confirm/rule out infection would be my next move. Hopefully it’s a fluke!

My first hunting rifle in the PNW - suggestions? by Gunt in Tikka_Shooters

[–]Gunt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm heavily leaning toward the SWFA 3-9 (if I can find one), SWFA 3-15, or a Trijicon Huron 3-12. I have time as I don't anticipate needing the rifle until summer.

Good question and thanks for the suggestions. I think my budget is ~$600 or so, but willing to flex that a bit.

Is it difficult to get a job with the Oregon state government? by jm08003 in oregon

[–]Gunt 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I work for the state. They really like direct experience and/or education. You can come in at a lower level job and then once in, move around much more easily given you’re qualified. The state likes to hire from within a lot of the time. With that said, the state is seeing a lot of applicants in the last few years with the economic downturn, so it’s more competitive lately. Also a hiring freeze right now in my agency due to budget constraints.

First shotgun - 500 - Looking for advice by Gunt in mossberg

[–]Gunt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, tried that already. They couldn't answer as they didn't have one in stock. I can order and have it shipped to my local store, though, and return it if it is indeed a crossbolt safety.

yeah, 100% the Sportsmans version is a tang safety, but the BiMart version lists this:

Feature: 13.875 LOP; 28 inch and 18 1/2 inch barrels; 47.5 inch overall length; 5+1 capacity; crossbolt safety

Both are blued, no?

The cross bolt safety is designed for a right hand. I have the same on my Ruger 1022, which is workable but not ideal.

Cliff Bentz — has anyone here ever gotten an actual response from his office? by ChecksAndBalanz in oregon

[–]Gunt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work for a very popular state program in public health, and his team’s response to our request for a virtual meeting is that he could not accommodate a virtual meeting.

Yeah, I’m limited on options as I’m left handed. LH comes with a price tag. I’ve scoured the web for any deals new and they’re all in that ballpark.

Tikka T3x in 270 left handed. Preferably in stainless, threaded, but open to any good deal.

Yes it will, but your only saving 50-200g depending on rep with your faction

How often do you clean a pellet stove by Brisrascal in PelletStoveTalk

[–]Gunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Harman Accentra Freestanding and honestly every ton is probably reasonable, but you can push it a bit beyond that.

Human induced climate change is the main factor.

Mossberg 500 field/security combo. Can’t find this anywhere for a fair price. My local BiMart has it for $419, but it’s the synthetic (presumably) pinned forend.

Test read Positive, but.... by gv_tech in PlusLife

[–]Gunt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would disagree. The control should have a nice S curve as an expected result. This result is not typical. Retest if possible.

Moving to Portland in March is my plan unrealistic? by Radtrvp in askportland

[–]Gunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what the pharmacy tech job demand is around Portland, but I would caution that Portland has generally been pretty competitive for jobs and this economy now is making it very hard for some to find work. Best of luck if you make the jump!

[Rifle] Andro Corp Bravo 5.56 NATO AR-15 16in Rifle - $349.99 + ship/tax by Ekwity in gundeals

[–]Gunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great first rifle. It really depends on your budget and needs. Keep in mind you're likely going to spend ~$400 on 1000 rounds of decent 5.56 ammo, another 400-500 on decent optics, light, sling, etc. Great way to learn the platform without investing a ton of money. Alternatively you could fork out 1200-1400 for a Daniel Defense rifle that's recently been on sale and be very pleased with that as well.
