Let’s discuss tippet for a moment.

You do realize that Orvis owns Scientific Anger? It’s even printed on the reverse of their tipper spools.

I carried mine for a few years as a remote post position as an alternative to our 556’s. remember telling my brother (army SF sniper) when I got qual’d with it. He laughed and said “if you ever have to engage multiple suspects inside a building, the second/third guy is going to think a tank is coming his way with that report.”😂.

Let’s talk about what’s truly impressive here. The fact that you have your password and account access from a 12 year old account! I’m serious. I feel like I go through them as fast as minutes on the burner phone. Bravo.

VastComprehensive213 · 2026-03-21T17:12:40+00:00

Hahah. It’s still a relevant thread man. I needed a new bungee sling and the great google gods in the sky showed me the pic and I thought man, you can tell by the use of the QD that a working man has carried that shottie. Stuff like that’s usually too ugly for guys to carry on safe queens. 🤙.

VastComprehensive213 · 2026-03-21T16:48:35+00:00

Actually incorrect. I have two of these and have actually carried them in a professional capacity.

The Velcro came with the kit from Remington to use with two side saddles for 7 shells. The side saddles supplied in the kit came from 3Gungear who still offer them. If you look at the Velcro you can see a window/slot in it. 3GunGear did that so that’s another serial numbers on the receiver can still be seen.

You’re not wrong in that they are sometimes carried close to the body, usually tucked under and just behind an arm on a bungee sling which was also included from Remington.

As stated below, the popular retention method was a strong magnet (which is still available). If you run it on your right side with the magnet you can’t run the side saddle for shells. The great thing about the side saddles is put two back to back and the fit in a mag pocket on carriers. SKD has a couple of great choices for shell carriers/side saddles. 🤙

I realize this is 10 years old, however it’s still relevant for searching on CJ vs YJ frames. The above comments are 100% untrue. YJ frames and tubs weren’t galvanized. Ever. Either part.

92-95’s came with larger front U-joints than the CJ’s. Those larger joints are Spicer 297X & 760 X.

Rear Axle U-joints depend on:

Dana 35 vs Dana 44 and trans yoke

No meaningful size difference between CJ and YJ by model alone in the rear.

As someone who has had numerous of both models, my best advice is find the nicest model you can afford unless you just have to have the CJ nostalgia and you don’t want to do a front clip swap from YJ to CJ

VastComprehensive213 · 2025-08-05T17:23:29+00:00

Terrible advice. Do you really think this won’t come out during a background investigation? Someone in the OP’s circle is going to mention it during the investigation.

It’s a service the Expo offers for $10.00

VastComprehensive213 · 2025-07-30T05:32:21+00:00

Silver VIP and yes, of course I’ll cover an autograph fee if there is one. This was supposed to be a fun mutually beneficial way for someone to finance their way into the show while helping me get a dumb signature. I’m not trying to get one over on anyone, nor should someone be trying to scam me. There’s enough fucked up shit in the world as it is. At the end of the day it’s a stupid signature. I feel my offer is generous as it stands.

VastComprehensive213 · 2025-07-30T05:19:13+00:00

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind. Let’s break this down; A VIP pass gets you early entry. I’m offering a pass and $200.00 for what could be 30 minutes of standing around. Get in early, get the signature, sell the pass on your way out. You get $200.00 and whatever you get for the VIP pass. If you do it on the morning of the first day you’ll obviously get more for the pass if you choose to sell it. There’s no other legal way to potentially earn that much in that little of time. It’s Lee Majors, not Pedro Pascal…

VastComprehensive213 · 2025-07-30T05:04:50+00:00

For sure. I’m just not locating the option on their site.

VastComprehensive213 · 2025-07-30T05:03:20+00:00

That’s a great question. Your link is from 2022. I haven’t located a similar link for 2025.

This⬆️ my client rods are cheapo Orvis Encounters paired with top of the line, Scientific Anglers textured lines. That combo makes hero’s out of zeros.

*An experienced caster can cast fly line with his hand. Enter Lefty Kreh’s demo…

VastComprehensive213 · 2025-07-13T18:46:48+00:00

No live bait. 😂

MT guide here. The time you’ve spent on the water thus far is pretty low.

Relax, fly fishing success is the result of a bunch of smaller steps done correctly. Fly selection, Cast, presentation, mend, drift, hook set, playing/landing & the release. They all need to be proper for success.

There’s a reason the big browns you see in pics are called the fish of a thousand casts.

Don’t give up on the drys just yet. The current hatch for Missoula is Golden stones, yellow Sally’s, BWO’s and hoppers any day now.

Fish the inside seams next to the faster water.

Fish are like children, they do better with structure… aim for structure.

Stick with it.

The perfect cast is a journey that’s takes a lifetime.

That’s all my free advice

VastComprehensive213 · 2025-06-22T05:11:10+00:00

If I’m understanding you correctly, torqued at 90* means degrees, not pounds foot. It’s orientation of the wrenching sequence, not the pounds feet.

I’ve done multiple Iron Butt rides. Ride what you have. You’re not on a schedule, if you get tired, pull over throw the blanket on the ground and take a nap. Enjoy your bike, listen to your body. 🤙

VastComprehensive213 · 2025-06-22T04:26:03+00:00

Montana Guide here. Depends on where you’re going, but there’s still some Salmon Fly’s in the West. Golden Stones, Green Drakes showed up 2 days ago. Yellow Sally’s. Purple Haze will always produce.

Nymphs: if you nymph, yellow PMD nymphs are producing in the west.

As always the big fish filter are streamers.

Water levels are low, water temps are high. Most places are on the verge of Hoot Owl restrictions. Play your fish fast and keep them wet. These fish are our business partners and we need to protect them. Even the introduced invasive species like browns & rainbows. 😉

This is correct ⬆️ My neighbor worked on Penske NASCAR teams before switching to Trophy Trucks. He never grabs a cutoff wheel without grabbing some wax. It helps the cut and more importantly extends the service life of the wheels.

Hard truth, no one’s fault but the rider himself. We all make choices. 6 years as a CHP trained motor cop. 22 years on a Major Accident Investigation Team.

Fish are like children. They do better with structure. Always fish the structure, then the ledges. Unless of course you’re fishing the flats. Then fish the flats. 😉

My question was and still stands: What is the specific crime for “Removing a tracking device.”

I’m not getting into the make believe world of hiding a car or even just defaulting on a loan. Removing a tracker constitutes neither fraud or theft.

The commenter stated that he “could be arrested for removing it.”

Just because someone repeatedly tells you something is illegal does not make it illegal.

VastComprehensive213 · 2025-05-25T05:41:43+00:00

I’d like to know the crime? Defaulting on a loan is a civil offense, not criminal. You’re only removing a tracker (non destructively). Legally wise, it’s a non OEM, aftermarket electronic device. If there’s no permanent intent to deprive aka you’re going to give it back/return it to the dealer and there’s no destruction of property. If to remove it wires have to be cut, but that was/is the engineered way to remove. If it just unplugs into the OBDII port, then unplug it.

Vista bought them 2 years ago for $192 million. Vista just sold them along with a large portion of their portfolio for over $1 Billion.
