Finally purchased: Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed 24” barrel, 7PRC

I picked up this rifle two times before going back the third time and feeling better about the rifle. Ergonomics are great, light weight, everything I want for a mountain rifle, Cerakote is beautiful…

But the bolt being Cerakote, makes it so it is not very smooth action. It really ruins the rifle. I am hoping to contact browning and see if they have a solution.

Very happy with the purchase but hopefully find a new bolt. Maybe just have to work the action 2K times before it smooths up.

Leupold VX4HD 3x12? Has anyone tried the new VX4HD?

Just purchased a 243 Winchester Model 70 Super Grade Maple. Looking at the VX4HD 3x12 with illumination, priced at $1,100 on optics planet.

Just not sure if the price tag is worth the NEW model. I really only see the adjustable throw lever, CDS zero stop turrets as the biggest difference from the VX3HD or even the VX-Freedom.

I would be using this 243 for heavily wooded areas. I like the 3x12 range. the VX3HD i was considering was 3.5x10. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you

19K miles on 2007 CBR1000RR fireblade for $6,600

I want to get back on two wheels and my favorite model of the CBR is the 2006-2007. A guy has a mint 2007 silver with 19K miles listed. But the valves have not been checked but claims previous owner was Honda technician.

I want to offer $5K but still worried that the engine will need major repair soon.

Or 2007 red and black colors with 12K miles for $8,200.

Does anyone have any experience?

29M, I think I am only going to hold FXAIX and SCHD in my Fidelity Account ROTH-IRA

This has been a tough year on everyone, especially with the wars, conflicts and drama within the U.S. government… I really leaning towards just cashing all my coins in on 80% - FXAIX and 20% - SCHD just let it ride till retirement.

Lower control arm replacement, new bushing brand name ‘90 K2500 4x4

Not having any luck finding OEM Lower Control Arm replacements for the ‘88-‘98. I am praying my mechanic can reuse the original.

Does anyone have experience with finding an alternative solution with the “torsion bar key hole”?

Does anyone have recommendations for new bushings not many options

Fixed the shifting issue. With ignition shift wiring, from Standard, part number: US346

My father truck is a 2002 Chevy Silverado z71. It was not shifting into gear and we thought it was something in the ignition well a YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/XBk9VBGmuoQ?is=VVYl4uBbHTQWbLKv

I was able to figure it out and the shift lever works now. Not sure what happened. But thank you 🙏🏼

When ordering, I recommend keeping the wiring harness when removing and going to O Riley‘s to order. There is one with 28 pins and 20 pins.

Good luck ladies and gents! 🫡

‘02 Chevy K1500 - Possible module went bad, it will not let the ignition function to let the shifter lever go into gear.

My father’s ‘02 Chevy K1500 z71 stepside, shift lever being blocked from going into gear. Not sure if anyone has had this issue. We are thinking that the module/wiring finally went bad because the shifter lever was always kind of hard going into gear. The white plastic pin has to be in just the right spot to turn the key to start the truck.

Would the ignition and shifter lever wiring or the wiring harness go bad?

I am wondering if anyone knows the solution or had an experience like this.

29M Separated from company, rolling 401K Roth funds to ROTH IRA, Traditional funds to Traditional IRA

I recently separated from my company and started researching rolling funds from 401K to IRAs.

After speaking with Fidelity representative, I have a total of ~$39K in Roth 401K and ~$69K in Traditional 401K.

I am leaning toward just rolling the ~$39K into my ROTH IRA and leaving the traditional funds in the 401K. The representative told me it would be about $40/year in fees to maintain my current 401K plan.

Should I just roll over all funds into separate IRAs or keep them split? I do not plan on working for the remainder of this year, but will pick it back up next year to max out my contributions for both 401K and Roth IRA.

I hope this is not confusing. Thank you for your insight.

Leveling - 3” lift kit for ‘98 K1500

I just picked up my dream truck, 1998 GMC SIERRA K1500 extended cab.

The only lift kit I can find is Rough Country which I do not want.

Are there any other companies that have a great kit that is higher quality?
