The same reason he hasn't been assassinated by some white supremacist nut job; heck, they can even see what they'd be left with.   I often wonder if that was the determining factor in Biden being selected as Obama's running mate.

I think that if you'll go back and learn exactly what Tom Cruise said, and the context in which it was said, you'll learn that Wahlberg is a attention seeking douche nozzle...not that Cruise is any different.

I've had great luck dealing with him on several occasions. He is a gruff seeming old man, but once you get past that, he's actually a pretty interesting fellow.

Keep us posted as to how this turns out. I'm interested in learning whether a slower or faster powder will get you higher velocities with the light bullets. I may have to ask Santa for my very own chronograph. You have me curious now.

I think I'd try a slower powder. Winchester Large Pistol Primers are labeled for regular or magnum loads.

I wish all the major insurance and hospital executives would ban together and tell Obama to go pound sand, and go on operating as normal.

I throw mine off in a wooded holler behind the house. Once my dog is able to get the bones separated, he usually drags it back into the yard, one piece at a time.   I assume you are in town and can't do this, so I would suggest double bagging the remains and setting out with your household garbage.

I know, I know. Just funning ya!   Mr. Browning's machine guns probably had more to do with the outcomes of the world wars than any handgun.

Well, we won and the 9mm guys lost. :shrug:  :D

I had one, and although the fit and finish were that of a cheap gun, and the frame seemed to be made of pot metal, the action was smoother than my Ruger Single Six. It was quite accurate as well. I'm sort of sad I sold it. I would buy another.

I just ordered a book, "Pet Loads: The Complete Volume" by Ken Waters for my wife and kids to surprise me with. We don't go real crazy with Christmas presents, and I already have most everything I could ever ask for.

That's why they make different calibers and models. I have several 45's, and nobody's gettin' 'em! Reloading is a promising thing to do for many calibers.

I just shoot them from my treestand while deer hunting. I'm told that an electronic call is fairly necessary for a dedicated coyote hunter.

You know, my boys and I bought a few cans of that stuff just to see what it did. HOLY ****!!!!!! :stunned:  I actually asked the dealer later if he was sure that stuff was legal. A shifty fella could do some serious damage with it.

Most of the used ones you'll find have been fired very little....pull the trigger on a full house load and you'll know why. ;)

If you already know so much, why are you asking for suggestions? $300 probably won't get you a reliable rifle with the characteristics you've named. You might consider saving some more money and getting a Springfield M1a or a Steyr Scout rifle. Buy all the ammo you think you need to single handedly whip whatever army or mob you are planning for. I'm not sure where you plan to "scrounge for ammo" but most people I know who own it wouldn't be very receptive to your idea.   I'm always entertained by the new guys who know more than the rest of us. How old are you? Late teens I'm guessing.

...if you were seen wearing this asinine product?   http://bethedecoy.com/   :doh:       1) You'd get shot. 2) You'd get laughed out of Tennessee. 3) The video of you would go viral on the net. 3) Your friends and family would have you committed to an institution.

I've had good luck with Palmetto State Armory and Graf and Sons. Midway is reliable, but their shipping is usually pretty high.

So....when are you gonna shoot a deer with it? :D   Seriously, congratulations on owning a very interesting piece of our history. That's a nice looking rifle considering what it's likely been through. I'll bet you wish it could talk.

At least as good, and likely better. I believe I'll go. Haven't been to one in a while. I hope some of the craziness has died down.

Wow! I've never heard of anyone else having such problems. The only one I've ever had I still have. It is a Norinco, and has been boringly reliable for nearly 30 years now. It is also very accurate with the old surplus ammo.   If I had to grab a rifle to defend hearth and home, I would be as comfortable with my SKS and bandolier filled with stripper clips as any rifle I own. It is built way better, in my opinion, than my AK.

Sounds like you are describing an SKS to me.

I shot a coyote this morning, and almost got reloaded in time to get a second, but not quite. Didn't see any "shooter" deer, just does and small bucks.

34-17. They just put an ole fashioned butt whoopin' on the Gators! I think James Franklin is the real deal.
