My bad.

Could you point these posts out please?

Been that way for many years now.

Very good point. That really clears it up for me.

I'm no geography buff, but are you guys sure Hendersonville is in Northern Sumner County?

Yeah, that's a good price for a deer rifle right before deer season.

Not an expensive gun. Nothing wrong with it, it's just the cheap version of the 700. What was the price? Caliber?

Makes perfect sense to me!

Very good points.

Would there ever be a point where you would oppose a tyrannical government? We're not there yet, but it appears to me we are headed down that path.

There is no arguing that this is a very unconventional war. I'm trying to form an opinion. I don't find much black and white in this situation. Right now, I feel our government had a tough desicion to make, and probably made the right one. I do, however, see this potentially setting a dangerous precedent in the future.

Did you guys check this out? I'm not a military veteran, and I don't care what skin color my president sports, but aside from that, they have me pegged pretty close. How about you? I do value each of your opinions. Thanks for sharing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to miss him. I just see the scenerio unfolding in the future where some of us "gun nut internet types cling to our guns and religion" are accused of plotting against the government, and suffering the same fate. I also picture the same apathy being shown toward us.

Sit still....for a long frigging time! When you think it's time to go, stay a while longer. All the deer I've ever shot came just before I was leaving.

Nothing wrong with that. Congratulations!

A powerful picture indeed. Thanks for bringing our attention to it.

Yes. It is my understanding that another U.S. citizen died in the attack as well. I can't gather much information about him at this point.

How about in Waco Texas?

There's little doubt that the world is better off since this guy assumed room temperature, but how do you feel about the U.S. military killing a U.S. citizens who've never been tried nor convicted of any crime? I can see this potentially getting out of hand in the not so distant future. I've always had an uneasy feeling about the Waco Texas ordeal, and to be honest, this doesn't sit quite right with me either. Let's hear your view.

Shop at your local gun store instead of Wal Mart.

2 Triple Seven 50 grain pellets behind a 295 grain Powerbelt works well in my elcheapo frontstuffer. It's accurate, lethal, easy to load, and very easy to clean.

Looks great! Especially for your first one.

There were 80 Kazillion Mauser rifles produced. They arent exactly rare artifacts. If some of them hadn't been used, sporterized, dropped in a lake, etc., the remaining unaltered versions would be worth next to nothing. For some people, a military rifle is next to useless, while a sporterized version is a useable hunting tool. As the value of the rifles go up, using the action to construct a custom gun becomes less attractive.

I'm not a tactical kind of guy, so I'd likely stick with the 243.

I wasn't a leader, but I got elected to head up the whittling chit thing when my oldest was in cub scouts. I first had a discussion with the parents. I then bought some inexpensive knives like you'd asked about. I also bought a box of band aids. They came in handy. All the kids were thrilled with the knives, and aside from one cut finger, it all went very well.
