  1. [quote name='Symbolic' timestamp='1352909218' post='845471'] He's fighting for what he believes is right. Isn't that what we've been taught to do? It's understandable that it gets annoying when people don't shut up about things. A carbon tax for big industries is probably a good thing in the end. [/quote] No he isn't. Al is an a$$, but he isn't stupid. He is trying to create a market; a ponzi scheme if you will. He has found a pretty sllick way to get rich off the backs of stupid people. All he needs is a law passed, and he's in. Did you see a couple of years back when the news reported that his average electricity bill at his one home in Brentwood was several thousand a month? Hypocrite?
  2. I've learned that you almost have to use an airbrush to get an even coat of the tan dye. Brown is much easier. As for the black, I like Feibing's USMC black. You'll think it isn't dry, and it'll look dull and come off on your hands, but you can buff it with a shoe brush, and it'll slick right up and get rid of whatever accumulates when it dries. Leather dyes are funny, and each one has unique characteristics. I have a navy dye, and it appears greenish blue until you buff it.
  3. I wouldn't think you would have an eye relief problem, but in case you do, Weaver makes offset mounts to accomoday short scopes, incorrect eye relief, etc. As for the torque, just turn the screws good and tight without trying to twist the heads off. I've mounted close to 100 scopes, and never used a torque driver, and never had any problems. Chill out...you are way overthinking this. Let us know how the Ruger shoots. Oh yeah, you'll probably need high rings for that monster scope.
  4. Clayton was actually the Democrat nominee. You may remember the Democrat party tried to kick him off the ballot after he slipped in and won the primary.
  5. I voted for Mark Clayton!
  6. Sorta reminds me of all the celebrities and other assorted fools who were going to leave the country if Bush won the 2000 election. Didn't happen. I actually think we'd be better off without the likes of Rosie Odonnell, Roseanne Barr, Alec Baldwin, et al.
  7. [quote name='mikegideon' timestamp='1352737017' post='844298'] Population of the Chicago Metro: 9.7 Million Population of Illinois: 12.9 Million [/quote] Okay.....I blame the majority of the people in Chicago.
  8. I'm living on the side of the river I prefer to be on. I don't see much reason why I'd want to cross it in the event of an emergency.
  9. [quote]My problem isn't with the people of Illinois; it's with the politicians who RUN the state and who operate it as if it's a soviet state...[/quote] Aren't these politicians elected, re-elected, etc. by the majority of the people if Illinois? I blame the people.
  10. [quote name='Jonnin' timestamp='1352729419' post='844247'] Ya think? This is one of my favorites... Its generally rude but not "adult" so you were warned if you click! [url="http://dontevenreply.com/view.php?post=104"]http://dontevenreply...ew.php?post=104[/url] [/quote] Thanks for sharing that site! I'm setting here in tears reading the email exchanges there. Funniest stuff I've seen in some time.
  11. Prices were inflated, and shelves were bare save for a few boxes of bird shot. I recall one guy at the Nashville gunshow selling 380 ammo for $100 per box. I vowed to never buy anything from that jerk then or ever.

    Good scope?

    Assuming it is a 1" tube, and an older Denver made Redfield, you have a fine scope.
  13. Are you getting a group, or just firing one shot? I'd shoot three and check the group size. I'd first look at the scope mount, and if it is secure, I'd suspect the scope.
  14. You can find about any type climate or terrain you'd like. West Tennessee is flat as a good billiards table, Middle Tennessee is rolling hills, while Mountains dominate East Tennessee. Beautiful lakes and rivers, an abundance of wildlife, and ever changing weather make Tennessee about as tolerable as anywhere I've been.
  15. try a piece of 0000 steel, or if you can find it, brass wool, with oil. Mag wheel polish will remove any swirls or unsightly marks.
  16. Maybe he just wanted everyone to know he was tapping the biographer.She is a quite attractive woman.
  17. Can the Commodores get a little respect now? That was a helluva a game tonight!!!
  18. Gonna be some very interesting times the next couple of years.
  19. [quote name='Erik88' timestamp='1352585840' post='843310'] Fair enough, I see why you would feel that way. I would like to know what exactly Romney said that led the NRA to endorse him. [/quote] You can find an interview in a past issue of The Rifleman. Two or three month back I think. He answered the standard questionaire to their pleasing, and he gets a pass. It is simple as that.
  20. [quote name='mikegideon' timestamp='1352585307' post='843299'] If you're gonna quote my logic, try reading my post.[b] The NRA vetted him. [/b]If the NRA were to meet with Obama and endorse him, I would probably believe them. FAT chance of that happening. [/quote] The NRA vetts almost anyone with an R behind their name. The truth is that Romney took his pro gun stance in a feeble attempt to garner some votes. He is simply an opportunist, and that my friend is why he isn't President Elect.

    AR15 .22LR

    Santa brought my son a Colt/Umerex M4 carbine in 22lr for Christmas last year. It shoots great and looks good, but I don't like the way it is made. The barrel consists of a very thin inner barrel with a fake outer cover to mimic the profile of a real M4. If I had it to do over again, I'd buy a Smith and Wesson.
  22. [quote name='OhShoot' timestamp='1352484007' post='842554'] Current 336 A or W is about $400 out the door, the 336 is more, only difference is walnut stock vs. birch. Andy's is walnut and would have nicer bluing than any of those in last 10 years or so also. It's a fine buy on a fine rifle. - OS [/quote] ...AND NO SAFETY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  23. Bet he comes home empty.
  24. Someone tell me why the U.S. House, which writes the budget, couldn't simply submit a budget that doesn't fund ObamaCare? He won't sign it, the Senate probably won't pass it, but I feel the House should pass it and stick to it.
  25. I was mowing leaves about an hour ago, and when I quit to get a drink, my kids asked if I hit the house with the mower. They said the house shook for a moment. Guess that was it. We are quite a ways from Whitesburg Kentucky, or Knoxville for that matter. Will be interesting to see who else felt it.
