the best I did with my 30-30 was when at 50 yds I shot 30 and all hit bullseye but you could only make out 16 holes. Meaning the rest passed thru middle
I did hang it in my garage

Oh Yeah Jim.. I was going to ask you. I have a Dell alienware laptop and a Dell dimension 9150 that I`m on now. I want to buy a new one to replace the dimension. Any ideas on what to look for?

The Redding April nights was brought up by another member. I am through going places until I get a job, and get some gas money. As for a recommended laptop, I would go with another Dell. I have not owned one myself, but did have the use of one for about 8 months while I was in the hospital, and again afterwards. My Acer laptop crashed on me and a friend was kind enough to loan me his Dell Inspiron laptop. I believe it was the 5445. The Acer turned out to be a PITA to fix, and although it is running now, and I am finally happy I can use it. The fact that it let me down when I needed it the most still sours me on it. However, to be honest, I have owned two Acer laptops, and one desktop, and this is the first one to give me problems (after warranty of course) I did have an issue with the 24 inch Acer monitor that I bought with the desktop, but it was under warranty, and when they could not fix it they sent me a better one to replace it. Still I think you can't go wrong with the Dell.

You mentioned you have an Alienware laptop, those are gaming computers, if you wish to play graphic intensive games then buy another one of those. If not, I recommend Dell. This is just my opinion mind you. Toshiba is the number one selling laptop maker in the world, so it stands to reason that they must be doing something right. Anyway, that is my 2 cents.

Jim

I picked up a hp at officemax for 550.00. It has 8gb memory and 1 Terabyte hard drive. Pretty smoking deal! Tonight I start putting files on a flashdrive for big move.
BTW Cb works awesome although I need to hook up a dedicated hot wire just for amp(next week) and I have to relocate my brake controller.
