Inexpensive powder funnel. Whiskey flask funnel, clear tubing, some type of flag so you don't leave the funnel in the barrel after loading.
Anyone ever try these? Supposedly works great.
Similar to chemo/drug gloves -- they prevent chemicals from reaching your skin and thereby prevent transdermal absorption into your bodyAnd just to touch on the wearing glove issue I have a couple of friends in Texas that have very serious health issues from things they picked up without wearing gloves through a cut not only from Wild Hogs but Whitetail also I have skin many times with bare hands and got Nicks and cuts pretty stupid on my part looking back

About 10 years ago I found an old Traditions Pursuit for $125. A buddy gave me an old Tasco [made in Japan] scope. I mounted it thinking I'd trade up later. I call that combo "Old Betsy" inspired by Jack O'Connor and his .270.. I've taken at least one deer every year with the combo. The scope is clear as ice and hold its zero better than any of my other scopes. How's that for cheap? The Nikon Prostaff I have on my TC triumph is giving me grief and I've got my open for another tasco.Can we change it to "inexpensive" and not "cheap" ?
On that note....
UTG fixed irons for ARs (or anything with a rail system I guess). Solid, made in USA, $60 for a set.
Bushnell TRS-25. 3moa red dot, lifetime warranty, mine has been on a FN-FAL, multiple ARs in various calibers, various 22s including pistols, and my 12ga shotgun. Had it about 10 years, I've changed the battery once. $70 on amazon
AT3-RD50 - 2moa version of the above. Lifetime warranty, $80.
Mueller scopes, specifically the 8-32x44 w/ target dot or mildot reticle. $250, yes, you can find better but you are gonna have to pay 2-3x as much. Oh, lifetime warranty if you keep your original receipt.
Tasco scopes, the made in Japan ones. These were $500+ scopes in the 70s, but when Tasco quality took a hit, well.... the reputation suffered just on the brand. So you can pick 'em up on ebay, garage sales, etc. for $25-100. My 8-32 w/ fine target dot is just as good as the above Mueller if not as feature rich (no target turrets, AO instead of side focus, etc)
Ive heard the same thing. A rich guy wont have much behind the garage cuz he throws everything away. A poor man has lots of stuff behind the barn and will save everything cuz it may have some good parts still.I have been known to do some dumpster diving in my life. I come from a long line of cobblers ( not the shoe guys). I can remember riding with my grandfather and having him tell me that you could tell a guy was rich by the amount of junk he had behind his barn. I found out later that isn't always true. .
or $7.

Man I really like that shorter one..I've got 2 old CVA Mountain Stalker rifles that I paid less than 150.00 dollars each for. Both are very accurate shooting with round ball or conicals. View attachment 40738
I has about 7 inches cut off the barrel. It's a nice little carbine now. Weighs in at 5 1/2 pounds.Man I really like that shorter one..
Nice funnel but how could you possibly forget to remove from barrel when you still have to load your bullet. That being said I could use a flag on my rod because I’ve shot one of them down range before and let me say kick like a mule would be an understatementInexpensive powder funnel.
