Dog gun.

Q: I have been thinking about a prairie dog hunting trip for sometime. I am a farmer from southern Ohio Cheap John Jaso Jersey , which means finances will be a major issue. The first question I have is about choice of caliber. I was thinking either a .223 Remington or a .204 Ruger. I understand that the .204 is flatter shooting but costs about twice as much per round. The second question is about firearms. I am a left-handed shooter which mean finding a good used bolt action is going to be a problem. I am trying to decide between an H&R ultra rifle and a left-hand bolt action Savage Model 12. I know this is like comparing a Chevette to a Corvette, but price is an issue, so is the slower rate of fire and poorer trigger of the H&R worth the extra expense of the Savage? I understand a compact spotting scope with variable power to 20X is recommended, but what other gear would you suggest? Range finder Cheap Gregory Polanco Jersey , good binocs, bipod, etc.?

A: If finances are a problem, the choice of caliber becomes clear (unless you're a reloader Cheap Joaquin Benoit Jersey , in which case it doesn't matter) and the .223 is the clear winner. You'll be shooting a lot on a good dog hunt and you should practice a lot with your new rifle before you take it hunting. I would look at Black Hills Remanufactured .223 as a high-quality alternative to factory new ammo. Black Hills comes in a variety of bullet weights for vermin shooting. Winchester USA Varmint is another good choice but the bullet weights are more limited.

The only caveat is the .204 Ruger is a hoot because the rifle rises very little in recoil and the results of your shot can be seen through the best spotting scope.

As to the gun, don't sell the little H&R short. I tested a heavy-barrel .223 for my former employer and found it to be an excellent rifle. The trigger pull was crisp (aLbeit a might heavy) and I was able to regularly shoot 12" groups at 100 yards with low-cost Winchester USA 55-grain SPs.

I also tested a Savage heavy-barreled bolt action also in .223. It would group at 12" at 100 yards, too, and did so with a wider variety of ammo. As for a scope Cheap Jung-ho Kang Jersey , the bugaboo is you really do get what you pay for and you don't want to get too cheap here. A Weaver 6-20X would be a good choice as would a Bushnell Elite 6-24X. It'll pay to get the best glass you can afford.

As for other gadgets, if you choose the .223, you will be limited to about 300 yards or a little more, so the money might be better spent on the optics. Perhaps more important would be a good portable shooting bench and rest. Midway USA (573445-6363 Cheap Dave Parker Jersey , wwwmidwayusa) has them for sale for less than $50 from San Angelo. A bipod is OK for walk-about hunting, but a good rest will allow you to achieve greater accuracy because you'll be able to bag the front and rear of the stock.

HAVANA， Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- More than 7，000 privately-owned businesses in Cuban cities battered by Hurricane Matthew are getting tax breaks， the government said on Friday.

Businesses in five southern Cuban tows， including Baracoa， Maisi， Imias， San Antonio del Sur and Yateras， are exempt from paying a bevy of taxes for the months of September， October and November， according to the daily Juventud Rebelde， or Rebel Youth.

Businesses， which have to be rebuilt， will be spared from sales tax， personal income tax and taxes on services， as well as labor and social security taxes， the report said.

Hurricane Matthew plowed through southern Cuba earlier October， destroying much in its path with Category 4 winds， rain， flooding and storm surge.

The hurricane caused severe losses to the region's coffee and cocoa harvests， as well as other crops， destroyed 10，000 homes and damaged energy and communications infrastructure.

Matthew also hit Haiti， killing about 1，000 people there before moving on to pummel the southeast coast of Florida in the

Imagine this, someone sets up their loom or spool with the finest cashmere wool from Peru. They create a beautifully made and designed sweater which you buy and wear for several loving years. After some time Cheap Barry Bonds Jersey , the sweater style is out of fashion, the color has faded or it has shrunk and you have grown. This is the lifetime of a well made and loved cashmere sweater. Now, what?s next? You recycle it, right? Well Cheap Bill Mazeroski Jersey , yes you can recycle it, but what about repurposing it? Repurposing in fabrics and textiles has taken on a new name and action called ?craftivism?.

Recycling old textiles is not a new concept. The origination began in England 200 years ago. It was referred to as the ?rag and bone? industry where old textiles were collected then sent to wiping and flocking businesses for the wool and other fibers were sent to be reclaimed into new garments. All textiles were recycled, both man made and natural. You may ask why? Well, think about it. It?s estimated that over a million tones of textiles are thrown away every year Cheap Gerrit Cole Jersey , over 50 are recyclable, yet only 20 is actually recycled. Reduce, reclaim, recycle has been an eco phrase for many years now in North America. People are thinking about where and how products are made and what happens after its use is depleted. Business and personal accountability and responsibility are in the forefront of most minds and the progression of it is moving the emphasis from the object itself to the action taken. In other words Cheap Andrew McCutchen Jersey , activism plus crafts equals craftivism.

Many textile and fiber artists have been aware of this insurgence since their early 101 courses. The concept of craftivism is now a common phrase used by people who have little or no training to make and alter existing materials into ne.
