Hopefully you will have enough time to rack one into the chamber...it's better to just keep one in the chamber. imho.

Thanks for all the replys. TDR - Thanks for the leg work. I would like to keep his first bike under $1000 if I could. He is average height wise but a bean pole. He only weighs about 85 lbs. The one comment on most of those were "to fast for me". Thats why I was thinking a smaller sized bike. Although I dont want him to outgrow one to fast either. Mugster - thanks for the link to mtdr. I will check them out.

My 13yo son has decided he can't live with out a dirt bike. Anybody here have any experience with bikes in the 70-100cc range. Any tips on suggestions on brands to consider, brands to stay away from, etc.. would be appreciated. Not looking to get into motocross or anything like that. Just something to ride around the neighborhood or down on the farm. Also, are there any good training/safety classes around Nashville? Thanks

What kind of pump shotgun is that? The wood looks really nice.

Although I am a fairly accomplished hunter, I have never hunted bear. We were interested in hunting black bear in East Tennessee. We were trying to keep the cost down but may look into getting a guide. Thanks.

+1 Well said!

I saw in a Hornady Leverevolution ad that the energy for the 140gr round out of an 18" barrel is low to mid 800's ft/lb of energy at 50 yards. That is plenty of power for the deer in TN. At 100 yards it dropped to the loww 500's which is iffy. Keep your shots at reasonable distances and I think you have a great deer gun.

Eddie, I am very sorry for your loss. My family will keep your and her family's in our prayers.

.357's have taken a lot of deer over the years. With that being said, I feel that is a slightly underpowered round for deer. If you keep you distances to bow range and only take good broadside shots you will be ok. The problem is if the deer is farther away or at different angles the round lacks the energy to cleanly take a deer. IMHO.

Got anymore of those $2000 guns for $710 :D

Are you serious?!? Talk about picking the lesser of two evils...Bloomberg or Obama

Interesting read. Thanks for posting it.

.243 is a good starting round. It has plenty of power for the deer in TN. I started my son and daughter off on a TC Encore in .243. They are now 13 and 14 and still shoot with it.

Congrats!

Add $20 to the prices above for the nickel finish. That combined with the fact that blue book is usually on the low side of value, I think you got a good deal. Now, how many shots before you hit the golf ball?

This is what blue book says: MODEL 15 (K-38 COMBAT MASTERPIECE) - .38 Spl. cal., adj. sights, 6 shot, square butt, 2 (disc.), 4, 6 (mfg. 1986-91), or 8 3/8 (new 1986, disc.) in. barrel. Disc. 1999. Grading 100% 98% 95% 90% 80% 70% 60% $500 $375 $300 $275 $245 $220 $195 Last MSR was $450. Add $31 for TT or TH (disc. 1991). Add $11 for 8 3/8 in. barrel (disc.). Add $20 for nickel finish (disc. 1987). Add 300% for USAF marked (mfg. 1965). There were 9 engineering changes on this model.

100% - $475 98% - $350 95% - $300 90% - $275 This is what blue book lists.

Wow. That really could have gone bad. I bet that ladys ears will be ringing for awhile.

There are a lot of us who appreciate what you do. We don't say thank you enough, so thank you for your service. Unfortunately in todays society everybody likes to bitch about the bad things and keep quiet about the good things. Keep up the good work.

I wouldn't but hey, to each his own. Of course I do not live in a small town where the interactions with police are probably different than they are in a big city.

Bingo!

If an officer states that they have RS/RC, you can NOT refuse the search. If the officer does not have RS/RC but says he does, you still can NOT refuse the search. All you can do is take it up with his supervisors at a later time.

If the officer has probable cause you can not refuse the search. I think the misunderstanding came when you talked about refusing the search. The only time you can refuse a search is if there is not pc.
