The Big-Bore Chronicles

You have to wonder about the folks that PETA gets hold of. In a shocking move (does anything about PETA actually shock us anymore), a PETA intern named Jennifer Thornburg legally changed her name to “CutoutDissection.com.” She says that she now goes by her nickname, “Cutout.”

This is a gun storage container that uses steel mesh, a “draw string” cable and padlock to provide an inexpensive and portable solution to securing firearms or other valuables. The key to how this works can be seen in the closeup photo of the lock (notice the brass bead on the cable.) This bead is pulled through a hole in the collar and aligned with a smaller hole in the collar that it can not pass through. A padlock is placed through the larger hole. The loop end of the cable is then passed around or through a permanent object (like a seat rail) and then the loop end is secured to the lock.(gun and holster not included)

Have you ever wished you could remember just how much to adjust your hold on a target that is at an up or downhill angle? Well there is a shooting do-dad that will help your long-range shooting. It’s called a cosine indicator.

Precision-machined, aircraft-grade aluminum instrument eliminates guesswork when adjusting your scope to fire at elevated, or very low targets. The orange needle moves with your firearm and displays a number that indicates the percent your gun is off level. Multiply the indicated percent by the target distance to easily calculate the adjusted distance for gravity. Dovetailed bottom fits onto the aluminum mount (shown above) which fits Picatinny and Weaver-style rails. Or, mount an extra Weaver-style ring on your scope tube and clamp the Indicator in the ring’s dovetail.
