She definitely wasn't the brightest bulb on the tree. Glad no one else was hurt. Wait til she gets the repair bill! Pretty sure it's going to be another 'butt-pucker' moment for her.

Here are the final rankings for 2024 College football:

Playoff rankings are posted & Alabama is OUT. So is Miami. SMU is in, as well as 16th ranked Clemson.

That's because 'glock-coma' already blinded you...

And they wonder why people don't watch their network or believe what they report anymore. If they had a single gun guy or gal on staff watching the video, they could have pointed out definitively that it was NOT a veterinary gun used in the shooting. But I hope they never get a "firearms expert" on staff as their conjecture is amusing for the rest of us. How is CNN still a "news" network?

Alabama is not in yet. Still a weekend of football to play. I hope they get in, even though this years team is an enigma. You have no idea which Alabama team will show up on any given Saturday! The best version of 'Bama can win it all. The worst version can't beat Vandy. Football is entertainment. Entertainment can be profitable. But they have to put the best "package" together to draw the most viewers. If the committee has four teams and only one can go into the playoffs, they surely are considering which team will provide the most viewers. Miami? Ole Miss? Alabama? Someone else? After this weekend, we'll see if 'roll tide' still makes the final cut. No matter what the committee decides, there are always unhappy people. I'd just remind them that last year, only FOUR teams got in. Now, three times as many get a chance. If their team didn't make the cut, it's because they weren't good, or entertaining, enough. Maybe next year they'll do 16 teams. It won't matter - someone's still going to be butt hurt & cry "it's not fair!" Welcome to LIFE, The ultimate teacher of 'not fair'.

Unless your Dad put 800 to a 1,000 rounds thru it, the barrel probably still has some life left. But a rebarrel is nice, too, if you just want to explore a new cartridge. If you stick w/the current barrel, Barnes bullets (TSX & TTSX) like a lot of "jump" so even if your leade is a little cooked at this point, they'll likely still shoot well. If you are really itching to rebarrel, the .25-06 Rem is a phenomenal deer killer & you wouldn't have to change anything else besides the barrel. With 120gr Nosler Partitions it can be forced into elk duty. With 85 grain bullets it makes for a very potent coyote rig. With 100gr to 115gr bullets, its a deer slayer you can count on for a lot of DRT moments (dead right there/dropped right there). Having said all that, if Dad has left this earthly plane and you want to respect his choice in cartridge, the .270 Win is still one of the best "do-it-all" cartridges for lower 48 & Hawaii game. Maybe rebarrel to the same cartridge you have already? If not, .280 Rem, .280 AI, .30-06 Spgfld, .338-06 A-Square are also some rebarrel options that will work on the same bolt-face and will feed properly from your BDL magazine.

Bama beat Auburn in the Iron Bowl...not that it matters or anyone cares. But I thought after the ass-kicking Oklahoma gave 'Bama, Auburn would just photo copy the OU game plan & repeat it. Instead, they let Milroe run around and make plays with his legs. I'm happy for 'Bama. But that's it for them this year. Weird seeing them on the outside looking in. College football has been great to watch this year.

Great insight @Darrell Saban left because the NIL money was going to make his life a living hell. He'd accomplished what he set out to achieve and it was time to move on. Any coach that followed him was going to fall short. Why DeBoer bailed on Washington to take a job he couldn't help but be measured as a failure at, surprised me. Time will tell if he can turn things around but 'Bama fans are not going to wait very long before demanding a coaching change. The bar was set so high by Saban, they are spoiled & impatient. They expect a "W" every week. With NIL money bringing some parity, those years of sustained success may be over, regardless of who the coach is.

Good to have you with us @Handsolo!

Great guns! (Sig P239s) Quite accurate w/a soft recoil impulse. Is that the 10 rnd mag? Those are now hard to find and rather expensive when located, which ups the desirability factor of your gun. Consider this a free bump. I love mine...someone will appreciate getting yours. GLWS.

@DraxTheDad Since you already have several AR-15s and a bolt action in 6.5 Creedmoor, I'd point you toward an AR-10/SR-25 in the 6.5 Creedmoor, so you have ammo commonality with something you already own. The Ruger SFAR in 6.5 CM would be the "easy" button. https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/ruger-sfar-65creedmoor-news/492569

It's a good looking revolver. Ports should help a bit with recoil. Hopefully it shoots accurately for you. I like to see Colt releasing new products, especially revolvers.

Ole Miss fans are seeing themselves in the playoffs w/their win over Georgia today. I guess they have a 65% chance per the Allstate estimator thing. What is up with Beck this year? He seems like a totally different QB vs last year. Did McConkey make him look that good? 'Bama brought their offense (basically, Milroe) and their defense today making LSU look pedestrian. I didn't expect that but figure a "roll tide, roll!" is in order. Tennessee won relatively easily, as they should have. Pavia - that medical school QB - is suing the NCAA to get more years of eligibility since he's a "big deal" now & can make some NIL money. I guess good luck to him?

Looks like an M-60 machinegun. Weighed 23 and a 1/2 lbs Had to have an assistant gunner who carried the spare barrel & a can of 7.62mm ammo Was told that the average life expectancy of an M-60 gunner was about 8 seconds during a fire-fight. I have no idea how they calculated such a thing.
