  1. What's up with the grip safety? Hard to tell anything from the pic.
  2. That's a great looking gun. Probably need your nogggin thumped if you sell that one
  3. First thought... the Ghost of Letereat
  4. I have a 24" fluted bull on my varmint AR. It does a decent job at long range, but weighs around 14 lbs. I've never shot that rifle off hand, and probably never will. It's a rest gun.
  5. Wolf works fine in my rifles.
  6. The biggest conflict beween long range shooting and hunting is gonna be weight. If it's heavy enough to do well at long range, you might hate taking it for a stroll in the woods.
  7. Exotic calibers are cool, but... "George Gardner of GA Precision recently won the long-range Shumway Cup segment of the 2006 Snipers' Hide Cup shooting a straight .243 Win. In so doing, George bested Terry Cross (.260 Rem) and David Tubb (6XC), so you can see the .243 is a top performer at long distances. In fact, in terms of Wind Drift, a .243 running 115s at 3150 fps beats both the .260 Rem (2850 fps) and the 6.5-284 (2950 fps) running 142 MatchKings." If I was going to try to shoot against the big boys, I would go with a bench rest favorite. If I wanted a rifle with broader function, I would probably stick with something that's more common, and just tweak it up. With all other things equal (rifle, bullets, optics, and shooter), it won't make much difference, especially on a deer.
  8. I love flying, but am terrified of gov'ment employees fondling my junk.
  9. Stake the castle nut!
  10. Yep. I have those too. Money well spent
  11. Same deal here. Ordered a lower. Wound up selling to a buddy in the Kroger parking lot the day I got it. Good stuff. They just ticked me off.
  12. Yeah. Me too. Sounds like you need to find a way to get your license.
  13. Great stuff. I still think the P51 is probably the prettiest airplane ever made.
  14. What he said.
  15. The cops won't do anything. They'll even get pissy because you called them. I have been through it.
  16. After all else fails, enter the Dogblaster 9000.
  17. I thought you got it because it was the same model number as the Smith and Wesson you sold me, just to avoid confusion Seriously, the G36 is on my short list of Glocks to get. I'm a big 45 ACP fan, but don't carry it because my 1911 makes my pants hang funny.
  18. They HAVE to publicize the test. They are sending a REAL EAN. They're trying to avoid .
  19. It will take exactly 3 minutes... on 11/9
  20. Yep. Trying to take control of the minds of the children
  21. Exactly. We don't know if it will work in a real emergency. I'm not going into the boring details of how EAS works, but will say that there is a lot that can go wrong. The statewide tests originate in my building, an I'm responsible for the gear. No conspiracy here.
  22. I guess... if it's not required to identify your target before you perforate it. They guy didn't see a bear. He didn't even see fur.
