Right. I’m talking about the same. If electronic funds were shut down and you had no emergency cash, you couldn’t eat or buy gas or anything. I’m not talking about a long term deal, but just a random emergency. Investing involves risk. I’m good with that.

Not funny!

.gov cannot push a button and seize all of your cash. Your electronic funds can easily be locked if you don’t cooperate.

Did you turn them opposing directions? It doesn’t look like you need much to me. Post a pic and let’s see what you’ve got.

Smells like an ATF fishing expedition, huh?

You have 17 grandkids??!!?? Wow!

Congratulations! I can’t think of a better Christmas gift.

Companies usually make a yearly run of obsolete ammo such as this. You have to watch for it to show up, and be prepared to load up on it before everybody beats you to it. Actually, Natchez and Midway shows they both have some in stock, but looking at the prices, I'm sure glad I reload.

I guess the impending .gov shutdown will nix this plan. Gotta love em!

I'll bet firing a 3" round from that thing would be invigorating.

Another option would be to locate a picatinny rail type base for it, but it will look like crap, and you'll need to be able to measure the hole pattern drilled for the bases, and also be aware there is a difference in mounts for large and small ring actions. It gets pretty iffy. Again, offset rings are the best answer. That or a longer scope.

^^^This^^^ You have a short scope and a relatively long action. Offset ring are the simplest answer.

That would be a nice trip. I’d look to see what roads were still closed along the Tennessee/North Carolina border due to the flooding.

Thanks, guys! We might just give it a whirl after all. Impromptu trips have left us some of the best memories.

Looks like fun to me. I always heard they were good eating. I’ve never tried one.

Is this worth the drive? What can you find to do and see along the way? The wife and I are looking for a wintertime trip, but I’m not finding much of interest here, although she’s mentioned it. I see the Inn/visitor center is closed from storm damage.

Folding money doesn’t weigh em down.

I’m t’s always tough to lose a good dog. We really don’t deserve them.

Looks like it turned out well. Congratulations.

Hate to hear this.

Yeah. Me too. I was afraid to say anything as I didn’t know if it was intentional or due to illness. Glad to see it was the former.
