You haven't been listening at all have you, tailout? We knew from your first post that the owner of the site was the target of your beef. You are pretending you have adjusted your thinking but in fact you only made it more personal. Have you understood that YOU and others like you are "THE PROBLEM"? Once you figure that out, maybe we can get somewhere. Like helping with stream rehabilitation, science and conservation efforts, angler education, and (heaven forbid) limiting your days fishing for steelies on the river so others can have a chance. Your attitude can be found everywhere where there is a fishery. Most commercial fishermen I have talked to on the Left Coast blame the government, the Indians, the recreational angler, the forestry industry, pollution -- any one but themselves -- for declining stocks. If you listened carefully to them, they are saying that the fishery would prosper endlessly as long as it was (secretly) managed by a chosen few who "know what they are doing." It's nonsense, of course. They want as much profit from the fishery as they can be lawfully permitted and stock conservation is only a secondary concern. There's a similar history in the East Coast. Substitute angling pleasure for profit, and it's the same thing. Fisheries around the world are under pressure because of better communication, better methods, better technology, declining habitat, and a burgeoning human population. Did you buy a nice centerpin reel and high end steelie rod? Congratulations. You just invested in a growing industry catering to people like you. The steelies feel the effects of your purchase even before you put a line in the water. Admit you are part of The Problem and start doing something positive about it. L/P

......you can now put all this BS behind, Roger, you have been Trumped! Tailout is going to explode when he reads this weekend THE OUTDOOR GUIDE, Ailey, Smith and Redd better put on their helmets!.

If I was a little quicker it would have been better. The trees were lit up!

Dam Roger!! I'm the one who is dying and you are in worst shape than me. Want me to send you up some pain killers? LOL LOL

I believe most current Sako and Tikka rifles have proprietary scope mount systems called "Optilock". Best to talk to someone who knows, GMK maybe? I went with the Optilocks for my recently bought Sako. Pricey but solid. Hope this helps. Daryl

Cool pic. Roger

Just letting everyone know that last night was my last shift at D&R Sporting Goods. I would like like to thank everyone at D&R. Adrian, you're one hell of a great guy to work for. The staff there were all great people to work with. I I had a great time working there. I met many members of T. B. F. there too. So thank you to everyone that I have met over the 13 + years that I was there!! Roger

Weavers are good, made of steel so they're tough. Talley's would be another good option . Did your rifle have a scope on it before? Could just use the rings that were on it , unless your new scope has a different diameter tube.
