  2. Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on a park bench one morning.                                The 87-year-old had just finished his morning jog and wasn't even short of breath.                                The 80-year-old was amazed at the guy's stamina and asked him what he did to                  have so much energy.                                The 87-year-old said, "Well, I eat rye bread every day. It keeps your energy                  level high and you'll have great stamina with the ladies."                                So, on the way home the 80-year-old stopped at the bakery.                                As he was looking around, the saleslady asked if he needed any help.                                He said, "Do you have any rye bread?"                                She said, "Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?"                                He said, "I want 5 loaves."                                She said, "My goodness, 5 loaves! By the time you get to the 3rd loaf, it'll                  be hard."                                He replied, "I can't believe everybody knows about this sh-t but me!"

  11. Yea  well, I thought that I had smelled enough napalm in Nam to end my nose working cause it got to where I could not smell it either and when I got back stateside my nose still didn't work to great and over the years it has gotten worse and soon I didn't think I would ever smell anything ever again. Then it happened................. :dropjaw:  Kasey had what was left of a bowl of White Beans I had for supper one night. Just so happened it was a very cold night so she slept inside under my bed. About 3AM I realized that there are certain things my nose can still smell. Kasey is not allowed to have white beans ever again. I had to give her the bedroom and go to the recliner in the living room. I think the methane in the room at that point could have blown the house up with a spark............... :rofl:

  18. These politicians are just coming up with excuses because it all goes back to that they do not trust people with handgun carry permits.  If they did, then people with permits would be able to carry in the Legislative Plaza and the statehouse.  They want you to buy their permit, but they don't want you to use the permit to carry your handgun.  Instead, they would rather you just leave your gun in your vehicle where it can be stolen.

  19. From what I gather: -There are a lot of 6.5 Creedmore RPR owners out there who are super-happy with their purchase. -There are a lot of .243 RPR owners who are not as happy. -There are not a lot of .308 RPR owners... and the ones that are out there, aren't saying much. :) Rifle Details: Ruger Precision Rifle - .308 (20" barrel - no brake or supressor... yet), Caldwell Bipod, Leupold 2.5-10x40 mildot scope in leupold rings. As configured, this rifle weighs 11.85lbs w/o a magazine. The rifle was purchased locally - I didn't want to pay MAP - not happy that the un-named shop had it listed at MAP ....but I paid up... because it was the first (and still is the only) RPR .308 I had seen in person. Rifle History: As of tonight, I have 79 rounds through this rifle. In my first outing with it, I shot 19 rounds of barrel break-in. -cleaning every round for 10 rounds, then a group of 5, then a group of 4... and then it was dark and the range was closing. ... what a pain at a public range!! ha! Conditions During the Review: sunny, beautiful, 70deg... with a stiff 10-17mph variable wind blowing across the line of fire from 80-90deg. I put 60 rounds downrange. ~35 of them were 147gr ball (perfecta)... even so, ringing the gong at 400yds (using a ~2.5 mildot hold-over) - even in the wind was boringly easy (don't know how big the gong was - maybe 24"?) ** All shots today were from prone with bipod and rear bag. After all of the ball ammo was gone, it was time to confirm zero at 200yds and shoot for groups at 200yds. The first photo is the 3 shots to confirm zero. Zero-Verification: Black Hills (semi-vintage) 168gr Match - 200yds, 3 shot group ** according to my ballistics app, this was a .698" center to center and a .33moa group. I was a little stunned. My point of aim was the end of the "6" - just where the 4" line meets the black ink. After dialing up 2 clicks (~1" at 200yds), a started shooting for groups to see which ammo the gun likes. ___________________________________________________________________ Groups 1) Federal Gold Medal Match SMK 168gr - 200yds, 4 shot group (that's all I had left) **Largest Center-Center spread was 1.866" - .89moa group ___________________________________________________________________ 2) Black Hills 168gr Match -200yds, 5 shot group (it was "new old stock"... rounds were in styrofoam - not plastic, if that helps date it for you.) * That outlier was really my own fault, but it's included. (Man! I wanted to exclude that flyer ... or magically make it go away.) If it was me, I'll settle out of it in time, and future groups won't show it. If it is the rifle or the ammo, it will happen consistently. ** Center-to-Center Spread: 2.508" - 1.2moa group (darn it) Without the flyer it is a .63moa 4-shot group. ***of note! look at the (lack of) vertical spread!! - ya think Black Hills was consistent on this batch? :) ___________________________________________________________________ 3) Federal Gold Medal Match 175 SMK - 200yds, 5 shot group *Center-to-Center Spread: 2.034" - .97moa group ___________________________________________________________________ Conclusions: 1) Rifle: This gun will shoot. I am guessing it will settle in as a .6-.75moa shooter. I absolutely have to put a muzzle break on it. By the time I started shooting these groups, I had shot about 50 rounds already in short order, and I was feeling it a bit. 2) Ammo: I will stick with Black Hills 168 for now and see if the flyer was me or the ammo. The lack of vertical stringing... and the earlier 3 shot group hint that the BH load may be the factory load for this gun. With both weights of FGMM shooting sub moa, I have options. Also, note that with the FGMM -both variants were coming out at a consistent, but markedly different velocity than the BH ammo. - as noted by the ~1.5" higher POI of both FGMM groups. 3) Glass: I am shooting this at 10x. I feel pretty confident that, with a 16 or 20x scope, I could tighten up the groups, maybe someday I'll find out. - I don't know that I can justify big money on glass... ever, but I've been toying around with the idea of a Vortex PST 6-24 (for the EBR2C reticle) or the Burris XTRii 5-20. If I could get the EBR2C reticle in a 16x, it would be a no brainer. -not sure how much real world use I would ever get out of a 24x scope. 4) Conditions: -pretty stoked to shoot for groups at 200yds and not 100yds.... and have these results ... and to get these groups on a day as windy as today, it just makes me smile. If anyone was thinking about a Ruger Precision Rifle... hope this helps. ... aaaand if you are going to be punching paper with it, get the 6.5Creedmore.

  20. I'm crude too. I bite my tongue here a lot because my husband values the board. I don't always see eye to eye with you, but we use a lot of the same curse words and we both love 10mm so you're ok in my book in those regards. What I usually do is type out my whole thoughts then delete it. LOL that way I said it so I feel better.

  33. Really? I used to live in Oregon which doesn't have a sales tax, and there's 4 other states without a sales tax. So how does the federal government "fix" competition in those states? And since when is it the federal government suppose to level the playing field? Kmart is closing stores because they can't compete with Walmart. 84 Lumber is closing stores because they can't compete with Lowe's and Home Depot. It's called capitalism. Now IMHO, Bud's in Sevierville could easily lower their gun prices because they over charge for their indoor range. Federal regulation isn't the answer.

  35. So, being a 30something guy in college, I get to see this problem from a plethora of angles.  From my admittedly narrow exposure at MTUS, one thing I rarely see is a college student without at least one part time job.  Quite frankly, the only non-working students I can think of at the moment are athletes on scholarship, though I'm sure someone I've interacted with is living the good life on the dole from their parents.     Hell, I'm working with three sorority girls, who would under first glance be the types you would roll your eyes at, because when it comes to politics they talk about birth control, the right to choose, and don't dismiss Bernie Sanders ideas as crazy.  But I'll be damned if they aren't working and earning their keep.  The job I share with them is their 2nd job of the day, and their first one has them on site at work at 5:30am on some days.  Four nights a week, they work with me and the student athletes we mentor, sometimes not clocking out until after 10pm at night.  In between all that, they are in class full time, with all the academic responsibilities that brings with it.  So, yeah, they're working and getting that kick in the junk of life experience for $9/hr, all the while being forced to finance their way through school with help from family and loans.   Guess the point is that life experience gained through work, and college attendance don't have to be mutually exclusive.

  40. The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney. The auditor said, ‘Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I’m not sure the IRS finds that believable.’ ‘I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,’ says Grandpa. ‘How about a demonstration?’ The auditor thinks for a moment and says, ‘Okay. Go ahead. ‘ Grandpa says, ‘I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.’ The auditor thinks a moment and says, ‘It’s a bet.’ Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor’s jaw drops. Grandpa says, ‘Now, I’ll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.’ The auditor can tell Grandpa isn’t blind, so he takes the bet. Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye. The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa’s attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous. ‘Want to go double or nothing?’ Grandpa asks ‘I’ll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.’ The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there’s no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again. Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can’t make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor’s desk. The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Grandpa’s own attorney moans and puts his head in his hands. ‘Are you okay?’ the auditor asks. ‘Not really,’ says the attorney. ‘This morning, when Grandpa told me he’d been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you’d be happy about it.’

  41. I'm going to say a few things here and it is worth everything that you are paying for it.  Really just some points to consider.   -  I won't discourage anyone from buying the best safe that they can. -  Any safe is better than no safe.  -  Most thieves will not put forth the effort to break into a safe.  Most will ransack the house and grab whatever they can quickly. -  Most people that you have to worry about stealing your guns you already know, whether you want to admit it or not.  Most thieves are not going to put forth the effort to crack a safe that has unknown contents.  -  A cop friend of mine that works in a fairly high crime area said that in his 10 years of being a cop he has never seen a safe broken into but he's been to a lot of home burglaries. -  The location of the safe its self can add another layer of security.  As can having it properly mounted.  Don't make it obvious and don't make it easy to roll out of the house on a dolly.  As much of a pain as it is, the harder it is to get in the harder it will be go get out.  At my last house the safe was in the master bedroom closet.  Guests at our house never knew that we had a safe.  Of course if I like you enough to let you into my home you probably already know that I have guns.  No need to have it sitting out in the open where service people and the like can see it.   -  A security system adds yet another layer of protection.    So, be careful who you let know what you have.  Be careful about who has access to your house. Don't leave crowbars, grinders, torches and the like easily accessible.  Finally, make it inconvenient to remove the safe from your house.   All of these points can be argued to death and there are exceptions to them all, they are simply observations and generalizations to consider.

  42. Well several of my parts came in and I'm getting close.  I'm still waiting on BCG and handguard.  I decided on the SLR solo lite series and went with the 14".  I called them up to ask a question and they were very helpful and even gave me a coupon code for 10% off!  To top that off, I had a shipping notification in exactly 30 minutes!  Awesome company as far as customer service is concerned.  Obviously I'll give my impressions of the handguard later once it's received.    The BA barrel looks great.  Rifling looks good, threading is nice, crown is good, finish is smooth.  Test fit in my receiver is nice and snug.  I guess my only complaint is that it isn't dimpled.     BCG should be here tomorrow, not sure about the handguard.

  45. Someone explain the difference between a loan default and theft. If you agree to pay a certain and amount and attach a signature to a legal document then you are obliged to pay that money. If you don't, you are stealing it from the entity from which you borrowed it. Defaulting or refusing to pay back a contractual loan is theft. If you stole that money by any other means, you'd go to jail.
