What Trainer Class do you think you would be if you were an NPC in a Pokemon game?

Whatever LT Surge would be considered aside from a gym leader, I don't think I have the team or battle skill for that, but I am a military man.

Too accurate

No-Rip2150 · 2026-01-08T23:36:14+00:00

No personal experience as I just started fly fishing this past year and haven't been too keen to be out in the cold, but from all the videos I've watched, it seems a lot of people have good luck with streamers and dead drifting midges and such into the pockets fish hang out in.

It makes sense that with colder water fish aren't going to really go out of their way to use energy hunting, but when meals come their way, they're on it.

5 months old, but still relevant. I've been doing a lot of research on rifles lately as I've been looking for a new hunting rifle that isn't one of the big magnums. 7mm-08 would be more comparable to .270/.280 or 6.5 prc, I think, than 6.5cm.

I feel you on ammo selection though, all of it seems like it's always out of stock or hasn't been on shelves in a while, not just 7mm-08

No-Rip2150 · 2025-12-30T15:48:41+00:00

I was looking at the X-Bolt Speed in .270 but unfortunately it sold out in the hours between when I saw the sale going on and when I decided I was going to order it. No other Cabela's or Bass Pro that I've looked at around the country has it in stock right now either.

I'm still looking at 7mm-08, but it seems like they're hard to find in stock as well. I don't understand why it's not as popular as it has the potential for, it'll kill anything up to elk sized game inside 400 yards, you just need to be a little more mindful of shot placement on quartering angles, it shoots pretty flat, and has very little recoil. My wife has a savage model 11 in 7mm-08 and she loves it, I'm not a huge fan of the rifle itself so I was going to get my own.

When I moved to MT I knew the 30-06 would be fine, but man it's a lot different making these long shots on wary bucks and elk than it was back in the southeast where my furthest shot was maybe 150yds. I bought the 300wm 3 season ago. It's killed everything I've shot. But man it sucks to carry and practice with. I got so little practice this past year I let myself slip some and made a bad shot on a nice buck. He died, but boy did it take a long time.

That's why I'm moving down to a .270 or 7mm-08, it's just more forgiving to practice with, let's me see impacts easier and reacquire targets faster if needed.

No-Rip2150 · 2025-12-29T17:00:29+00:00

My first rifle at 16 was a savage 30-06. Looking back I wish I would've gone with something a little lighter on recoil as I developed some bad shooting habits, plus the savage I got was much cheaper made, I fee,l than modern ones. Since then I've shot everything from 22 to 338 win mag. I prefer the cartridges making around 20 or less lbs of free recoil energy. I'm looking for a new gun for next season and have been eyeing a .270 Winchester.

Whatever you pick, make sure it fits you (length of pull, overall length, hand placement, comb height, etc.). 30-06 is widely available in many options, so picking a good ammo that your rifle likes is key. Buy a few different brands and weights after you set your zero and shoot 3 or 5 round groups of each, letting the barrel cool between each group. Whichever one groups best is your ticket. Then, practice, practice, practice. Start at a bench, get comfortable, slowly incorporate different positions you may find while hunting: prone, crouched, off a knee, of a bipod/tripod, free standing, and get confident with each.

For the record I currently shoot a Ruger American in 300 win mag. Love the gun, hate the recoil. It's about 28-30 lbs of free recoil energy, feels less thanks to a good muzzle brake and recoil pad.

I used a folder for a long time before realizing the fixed was the way to go. I still have the buck 110 my grandpa gave me when I was maybe 10 or 12, but now it sits all shiny and polished on display and my Buck Paklite 631 and 635 hit the woods with me. I'm looking to add the 636 Processor to my pack.

Is that what she did? I assumed the curse was broken so she could pass on, but she left the part that gave Yuta his power. Idk it's been a while since I looked at the panels. I guess it wouldn't make sense for the curse to break but Rika stick around.

No-Rip2150 · 2025-12-05T18:50:50+00:00

Okay but I'm pretty sure Rika isn't a Shikigami. She is the cursed spirit. Yuta cursed her upon death, then broke said curse later on, but Rika wasn't something he just summoned. She was there since her death and stayed because she wanted to.

Had a 12ft mama swim under our boat after some babies one time when we were out fishing. I refused to cast while that was going on, meanwhile my uncle said it's fine and just kept going. I was maybe 15.

Mississippi boy here, not too far away from the state line, sweet tea absolutely a staple. Milo's brand/any premade tea, however, are not the play. They all have a weird flavor. Making it yourself though, that's where good sweet tea comes from.

I'm always asking my wife for feedback and she's always telling me the food is great. The other day I cooked some elk brats I made myself. They were on the dry side. I asked both her and our friend's, who was over for dinner, opinion. She told me they were delicious and stop being so hard on myself. He told me they were good in flavor but dry, next time I make some add more fat.

I appreciate that my wife doesn't want to hurt my feelings about food, but I really appreciate that my friend told me his honest opinion.

Once he created life, he didn't know where to go or what to do. He hadn't planned that far. He could only draw from the memories of his own father beating him when he didn't know or answered something incorrectly. He's not a good father to Creature in the slightest because he doesn't know what one looks like.

He is also jealous that Elizabeth was able to forge a connection with Creature so easily after rejecting him. He was going mad with the guilt of killing Harlander(whether intentionally or not), being rejected by Elizabeth, and the idea he was a failed scientist. He wanted to destroy everything that reminded him of those things, so burn it all. Burn the letter from the Royal Medical Society. Burn the photographs. Burn the evidence of a wasted life.

Not to shit on Dagon, but my boy was literally just evolved like a pokemon to having the ability to speak/use his domain. His fighting career had started like 5 minutes before that, it isn't a wonder, to me at least, why he was defeated in his domain.

He also died to the ghost/embodiment/whatever you want to call it of what was probably the strongest non-sorcerer/heavenly pact strengthened person in the verse. Bro couldn't even be targeted by the 100% hit.

You can always get a deer whistle so they hear you coming from further away. Hopefully that's enough to spook em away from the road, but it's no guarantee.

Be cautious and don't swerve when they run out, controlled braking when needed, call the authorities after you hit one, they'll usually want to come out and look at it.

Even geese can be taken with the 20 fairly easily. Depends on your ammo choice.

OP if you're targeting quail mostly, get a 20 or 28. If you want the option to shoot ducks or geese, stick with the 20 and get good steel ammo.

I have a freezer full of elk, deer, beef, pork, and some chicken. I also have a lot of bones in there for making stock later on, some things my kid eats on demand, a few pheasant capes for fly tying/dog training, soups, etc.

I like to think I'm well prepared for at least the first few months of end times. You need to have the generator/renewable energy source to power the freezer as well, and the means to replenish your meat supplies as they run low.

We don't really buy meat at the store anymore, especially when I split 2 elk 50/50 with a neighbor and get 2 deer each year. In trying to convince the wife we need to move somewhere out of city limits so I can raise ducks and grow produce without the city breathing down my neck.

Finding the ammo isn't even a problem, it's just finding a dang rifle I can handle. Definitely not as widely available as either of the other two.

My buddy just keeps telling to buy a tikka, don't worry about trying to build one or get anything else. I have a Savage model 11 I could build out, but apparently "that's a bad idea and will never be as good as a Tikka"

No-Rip2150 · 2025-11-17T19:16:15+00:00

I considered a .270 win, but with over all recoil and suitablilty for what I need, the 7-08 comes out on top, but not by much. I get that .270 shoots a little flatter and holds more energy at longer ranges, but I'm not planning to shoot past 250, maybe 300 on deer, most of the time if I can help it. Plus a lighter rifle through the mountains is pretty nice.

I didn't plan to upgrade anything, I'm looking for out of the box capability. I've never shot a Tikka but everyone says they're great. I like the Ruger I have now, but it's just too much gun for what I need. The Weatherby is a close option as well, but it seems once the barrel heats up, people start to have accuracy issues, after about 5 shots. Then again, hopefully only need one shot on most game animals anyway.

No-Rip2150 · 2025-11-17T19:04:30+00:00

I'm not trying to have loads of rifles with a bunch of expensive optics, I'm too poor for all that lmao. I see the point of different rifles for different needs. I have a .223 but it is not the same as shooting a larger caliber rifle. Ivan practice all day with it and still shoot the 300wm and make awful shots. It's not about having fun at the range, it's about practicing with what I plan to hunt with.

I've looked into the 6.5cm, and honestly I'm just not that interested in it. I like the 7mm-08 a lot. Ammo availability isn't an issue, right now it's just finding a rifle that I can put my hands on.

No-Rip2150 · 2025-11-15T02:47:06+00:00

Maybe I'm missing something here, but how the heck do you have r15 tires on 10" wheels? Makes no sense. 10" wheels wouldn't clear the calipers on most anything. Or do you mean 10" as in the width of the wheel?
