President Hanson was the 3rd President of the United States in Congress Assembled, not the first. He was preceded by Samuel Huntington (1st) and Thomas McKean (2nd). On my website, johnhanson.net, I have an image of the letter signed by Hanson as President thanking Thomas McKean for serving as President. The picture utilized on the website is John Hanson who was not a Black Moor. For more go to uspresidency.com.

There is even some controversy as to the ethnicity of John Hanson. This is very interesting. I thank all of you for bringing this to light.

Thanks. I was unaware of that.

This little boy recieved a custom Mauser chambered for 257 Roberts. What makes it special is it was built by his grandfather. His brother has one as well, but grandpa hasn't yet checkered it. I would be proud of such a family heirloom and I believe he is as well. It shoots MOA groups, and he's already killed 2 deer with it. He reloads his own ammo with supervision of course.

Great job. You are raising her right. My 11 year old pizzed off his teacher the other day. She was talking about our government, and called it a democracy. He chimed in and said he thought we were governed by a representative republic. She didn't know what to say. I'm sure she doesn't know the difference.

Ain't it cool?

Although I'm left handed, I've never fired a left handed rifle.

This is kind of how I see them. LOL!

I have a very good friend in Lafayette who's a jeweler. Johnson's Jewlers on the public square in Lafayette is his business. He will treat you right. He's a gun fan as well.

Cool! Just rain in Macon county....all freakin day long.

How long did it take to make all those snowmen?

He's not new my friend. Garron Pyre has been in business for nearly 40 years. I'd suggest you make a trip up there. He has a really nice selection of most everything; especially high end shotguns.

My father built each of my children a custom 98 Mauser chambered for the 257 Roberts. I am in the process of teaching them to reload. This caliber, although a great round, nearly requires it. My oldest, now 11, has killed two of his three deer with his 257, using ammo he reoladed himself (under close supervision, of course). I believe that adds something to his accomplishment.

Communism isn't in fashion this Christmas season it seems. That reminds me of Academy Sports' Black Friday promotion. They were giving Vince Young jerseys to the first five hundred customers the Friday morning after Thanksgiving.

I'm telling you...once you've held an antique Winchester, 99 Savage, any fine double, etc., up to your shoulder, the plastic G.I. Joe toys just won't compare. It's like comparing a 63 Corvette to a UPS truck.

I never owned a 7mm-08, but I love the idea of it. A short action version of the 280!

...but you can't drink an AR pretty, and you can't drink a fat girl thin!!!! I just don't care for them. It appears that I'm the only one. I guess I'll go back to pontificating.

I pick "C". If you take the 7mm bullet and place it in the 30-06 case, you have a 280 Remington, which is the greatest deer cartridge ever devised.

There is a bait shop just north of the river on highway 109 in Gallatin that stocks GOEX black powder. The name of the place escapes me at the moment. Poindexter's!!! Poindexter Bait Shop 1380 Old State Highway 109, Gallatin, TN (615) 452-7550‎ I;d give them a call before driving up there, but they've always had it in the past.

Try ammo with a heavier/ slower projectile. It will shoot higher than a faster/ lighter bullet. It would be impossible to regulate a handgun to shoot to the same point of aim with all available ammo.

A long time ago, Savage made beautiful, high quality rifles. Later on, they made butt ugly, high quality rifles. It looks to me like their trying to steer away from that image a bit with the introduction of their classic series. They are fairly attractive rifles.

Savage Arms Model 14 Classic Rifle More to my taste, but to each his own.

Here's my nomination for turd of the year.

A 22-250 is a great round. It is somewhat faster than a 223, but the 223 ammo is quite a bit cheaper.

I couldn't find any primers on the link given on this thread. I guess I'm not very web savvy.
