Sorry to hear about the fall. Prayers up for a speedy recovery. Don't be too concerned about the screws. That is not a problem. I have six of them in my leg that have been there for about 47 years with no problem.

My bad, missed it was in the motorhome.

When I need to replace a tank or valve I take it to a convenience store and exchange it. They get the old tank and I get a new tank for about the same price as a refill.

Puc the AR's are a light gun but not to my liking. I don't go out and shoot up ammo just to hear it go bang. I like to play with reloading and have very good loads for the guns that I have and they will shoot under 5/8" at 100 yds. I just want a lighter gun for carrying in the mountains and think the Kimber or Ruger will be the next gun I buy.

Jack those look great. I like the 308. I have a Rem. Mohawk 600 action in 308. that I could put a synthetic stock on and be good to go. When I got it the stock was in bad shape so I cut it down to a pistol grip. With by pods and scope it shoots sub MOA groups and only drops about 1" at 200 yards using Hornady 110 gr bullets. I took my Antelope at 245 yards with it a few years ago.

Jeff after looking at the T3 again it may be on my list.

Jeff I was looking at the Tikka T3, Nice gun but a little out of my price range. I am thinking hard on the Kimber Hunter. The Nosler 140 Partition is about as heavy that I would go on bullets.

Thanks for the input and offers. I have some of the guns mentioned here but I am looking at a new gun and smaller caliber that is why I thought of the 7MM-08. From the load charts that I have seen this gun is there with a 270 and 308. If I need more gun than that I can use my Rem 7MM mag. or Rem 300 mag. If I find open space that these will not handle I can go to my 30-378 Weatherby. Like I said I am looking for a light weight.

Just deer or Black bear if I see one Carl. Not too much open space where we hunt for long shots, that is why a 7MM-08 and not a 7MM or 300 Mag.

I am starting to hunt some after a 15 year layoff. I have several guns to use but they are on the heavy side. Most of them in the 10.5 LB. range. So I am thinking about either a Kimber Hunter 7MM-08 at 5.7 LB. or a Ruger American in the same caliber at 6.6 LB. The Kimber is about $900.00 and the Ruger is about $550.00. I do think that the Kimber is a better made gun than the Ruger. My youngest son has the Ruger American in 270 so I am aware of the gun.

Danial the upgrades that he has on his bike will not work on your engine. As you have an 83 first Gen and his is a second Gen venture- 1999-2013.

Merry Christmas to you and yours and all the Venturerider family.

Carl it is forth and ten. Time to PUNT.

You are a good man Woody. Glad no one was hurt when the tires blew out.

I would like to take this time to Thank all of our Veterans. Past, present, and future. Thanks you for your service.

Yep! Then the end of the Steelers game to thaw out.

Well Jack I came here in 07 and I'm # 3801. Wonder what the new members are?

I have a question for you all. :think: Why are you posting to an 11 year old thread???? :doh:

Yep! I have seen several RSVs with the HD 10" apes. They loop good but just not my style.

Nice looking bike. For the seat that hurts, you can try Rick Butler for a fix on it. OH BTW WELCOME to the club you will like it here.

Yes I am aware of the issues. My son has an 07 and has done the up grades to it. So I have a mech on hand.

Nice truck. I got a new to me ford also. It is an 04 F-350 Super Duty XLT 6.0 with automatic trans. Fifth wheel tow package and the 28 Ft. camper to go with it. Could not pass it up for the price I got it.

Congrats to Venturesome.

Not at all. I said a SMALL piece of leather. NOT the whole saddle.

I am a little short for the RSV and have been branded by that little chrome bar before. So I ride with long pants and it still gets hot at times. Maybe a small piece of leather attached to the seat that will cover the bar could help.
