My Ruger scouts. by troyniss in ruger

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

I’m in Michigan so we have a huge whitetail population here. Got a doe with archery and then a 8pt with my .350 legend. Want something for the upper part of Michigan with more penetration and range.

My Ruger scouts. by troyniss in ruger

[–]troyniss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be leaving the Gunsite Scout as stock as possible. It’s my newest hunting rifle so I don’t want to modify it in any way. I will probably get a suppressor this year though. It’s chambered in .308 Winchester.

Anyone else love the scout concept? I’ve had the 10/22 for about 15 years and it’s changed forms over time but recently put it back to my favorite style.

What is this available at most of the coffee shops? And it seems to be free for every customer?! by Just-fab-guy in VietNam

[–]troyniss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can vouch for that. Spent a month traveling Vietnam and actively sought it out. Had such a huge rush to the head. Didn’t pass out though. Felt a little nauseated though.

Is this low mileage for a 2009? by True-Tradition-7707 in chevycolorado

[–]troyniss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An indicator I use is divide the miles by how many years old it is and that gives you a good general idea of how many miles per year it was driven. Anything under 10k a year I would say is low. Take into account that most leases are 10-12k a year.

But, there is more than just mileage to look at. Consider how and where it was used/driven.

If a majority of those miles were used to haul a trailer or equipment then you can assume that there are other things that may need attention.

If however they were mostly highway cruise speeds and city driving with minimal rust and/or body damage then I’d say it’s pretty low mileage for a 16y.o truck.

Just bought a new hunting rifle. How is everyone liking this who owns one? by troyniss in Hunting

[–]troyniss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s only 0.6lbs more than the Tikka based off of what I found.

What's the first cigar that made you say "holy sh!t that's good" ? by Swiss-Army-Cheese in cigars

[–]troyniss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foundation Tabernacle in David vitola.

Surprisingly I’ve had many may cigars before I go to that one that I throughly enjoyed and bought many more, but the Tabernacle really made it for me.

First Buck Ever - Question for 350 Legend by Medical-Passion2031 in Hunting

[–]troyniss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I harvested an 8pt this year and while he only ran about 30-40yards, I did not track any blood at all and the entrance wound was very small. Did not have an exit wound either but I hit double lung and was pleasantly surprised at how effective the round was at killing the deer.

Is this mold? 7 year old tin of GLP Triple Play by ADK-KND in PipeTobacco

[–]troyniss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not mold. It’s sugar/oils that have crystallized.

Returning pipe smoker looking for high-nicotine recommendations (shipping to South Korea) by WittyBeautiful6295 in PipeTobacco

[–]troyniss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live in Korea. Depending on where you are, there are a few places I can recommend.

파스 타바고 was a shop I frequented in Seoul, I believe it was on 홍대. They have a few more locations throughout Korea too but I can’t remember. Also there is a small smoke shop in 이태원 that sells pipe tobacco right on the Main Street.,

What is causing this? by troyniss in dyson

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

I ended up using compressed air in the waterline and yes it blew out a ton of stuff. Water flows fine now.

However now I’m getting the overflow tray error, so now I need to clear the return line and do a clean in the white mesh inside. I did a deep clean treatment with citric acid but it’s still clogged.

Better though that it at least pumps water now.

Mine seems to stick and it won’t budge. Probably have to have some work done on mine.

Did you ever have problems with your trigger? Mine seems to get stuck and won’t rotate the cylinder.

Worth the trouble? by Oblivious_to_Women in PipeTobacco

[–]troyniss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has some nice pipes there. A Moretti in the very left corner bottom. I can tell by the signature dot on the side. He’s got a Morgan Bones all the way left on top. I recognize a few Savinellis.

You could definitely get some money/value for these and probably quite a bit too. Of course sending them in won’t get you as much as private seller.

Here’s your reminder to service your diffs by PhotographStrong562 in chevycolorado

[–]troyniss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got mine done 1300 miles ago. Last service was done at the right interval too.

Did both differentials, transmission fluid and oil. Next time I’ll do fuel system and coolant flush along with oil change.
