One you could trade for a model 70 Winchester. Seriously, if you are hung up on Remington, I'd look closely at the model 7. They are light and great handling. If they still make it, a 700 mountain rifle makes a very trim and attractive rifle.

Once again, I do not give one whit about Tony Hayward or the future of the BP oil company. I do care about justice. Our government is a government of laws; not of heavy handed threats and the whims of Chicago thugs. Most importantly, I care about the return of normalcy to the Gulf Of Mexico. I spend a lot of time there, and don't care to see it ruined.

Whether or not they can afford it has no bearing on whether or not they owe it. It is that type of ignorance and envy that has led to the apathy responsible for us being in the pitiful shape we are in today. I'd beg you to rethink your position. My words may seem sharp to you Mike, but I feel strongly about this issue. It is not in America's constitution to judge whether or not someone, or some company has too much money. That my friend is one of the roots of Communism. I trust you aren't of that bent and perhaps used a poor choice of words. The issue of who owes what to who should be decided in a court of law after the leak is stopped and cleaned up; not by congress and the president, and not judged by their ability to pay.

What does the amount of profit BP made have to do with repairing and cleaning up the oil spill?

I was in Moblie the first of the week and heard a fellow say there were hundreds of folks there to clean up, but weren't allowed to do anything. They were sitting around the hotel bar awaiting some sort of training.

Why not kill two birds with one stone and hire the people losing income because of the oil spill to help clean up the oil spill, instead of paying group to clean up and another to do nothing?

What happened to the cleanup fund George Bush SR. set up with a tax on every barrel of oil? This was done about 20 years ago, in the aftermath of the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska. I've heard nothing of this mentioned by the media or the great prophet Obama.

I'm totally indifferent to BP. Succeed or fail; makes no difference to me. What I hate is the ignorant a$$holes who are trying to make themselves look good using this crisis. I saw them do the same thing with that Toyota exec. I'd love to see one of these guys tell Congress to F*** off and walk out. They couldn't do much about it.

It sure isn't like BP stands to gain anything in this debacle. You'd think they meant to do this. Imagine how this same scenerio would have played out had it happened when Bush was still in office. Tony Hayward would have been off the hook and Bush would have been burned at the stake.

:cool:If you'd like this rifle, check the classified section.

...the CEO of BP, I'd beat the **** out of the next moron who asked me a question, and immediatly suspend all business with the Unitd States. I don't like the oil spill any more than the nest guy, but for our politicians to make a political show of it instead of trying to clean it up is pitiful. It shows the complete lack of leadership in our once great country. I am truly saddened by it.

...add a 223 to that list.

If you have a new 77 in 375 or 458, I'll sure trade with ya.

You've got me. I bought it because it was cheap and interesting. I doubt I'll fire it.

If you can find it, I'd like more info on this offer. I'd love to trade mine for one of several variations of model 77s.

How much of a voucher?

Carrying a pistol in a well fitted holster does very little to wear the finish, be it Kydex, Nylon, Leather, etc. Where the wear comes from is someone constantly drawing and reholstering.

Anybody around here aware these were produced? I found this one today, and thought it was too neat to leave. It is my understanding that they are no longer in production.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here. The range officers have a dangerous and thankless job. It is hard to tell the idiots from the safe, knowledgeable people. The rules are there for your safety, and probably not written by gun people. The guy who taught my CCW class was the biggest idiot I've ever seen holding a gun. You'd guess for sure he'd know something about firearm safety. I thought my father was going to insert the teacher's gun in his rear orifice once. He had a cocked and locked 1911 pointed directly at my father's head while demonstrating "gun safety". There's just no way to tell who's who. That was the only time I've shot at a public range, and it was a very uncomfortable experience. I couldn't imagine being in charge of one.

Guitar and piano. Quite rusty on both.

See for yourself. A short barrel doesn't reduce accuracy. The short sighting plane makes accuracy more difficult, but a short barrel is stiffer than a long one, reducing vibrations, and theoretically making better accuracy possible. S&W revolvers are very accurate.

I'd bet money Bob Munden could. I've seen him shoot balloons at 200 yards with a S&W snubbie.

I can't, but I believe the revolver is capable.

I'll bet! Hope it gets better soon.

With sufficient practice, I don't see why this could not be done.
