Where did you find targets with hips and kajones? Are you using one of those standup Kenny Chesney cutouts?

But you may miss and hit 'em in the kajones.

Strel was kicked out of Croatia many moons ago. They sent him to the US to get one of those southern ass whippin's that are famous around the globe. Apparently, there's a long waiting list

Yep.

Oh... he has a grasp when he wants to. Strel, would you pulease speak English. Hell, we can't argue with you if we can't understand you.

Just wanted you to see the definitions

I absolutely HATE the tort trash, so much that I didn't sue someone that deserved it. Sure, I think I could stop a car that runs off under normal circumstances. I'm not talking about lawsuits. That's a plague on our society. I'm talking about product that can just up and kill somebody.

With drugs like PCP, there's no chance of pain or common sense. I'm thinking an LEO is more likely to get into one of those encounters than a regular Joe. A typical thug, with or without a little crack in him, is probably gonna realize he's been shot.

I read the FBI paper on the subject. The only thing that will stop someone in their tracks is a shot to the central nervous system. Shooting somebody in the heart may stop them because of the psychological impact, but there's no reason they can't keep going until the blood drains or runs out of oxygen. I would think that most folks would stop because of the pain, or a sudden blast of common sense.

Oh... good photography. That's cheating, isn't it?

Wow! Was his name Mongo by any chance? I'm surprised he didn't bleed out

Cool! I'll order one of those lowers. Not familiar with cyclorama. I use photoshop for what little image editing I do. Not real friendly for a casual user like me.

Not throwing anything out, certainly not capitalism. Just saying that we get stuck with the bill, no matter who pisses the money away. We're getting all the lip service, but we know how that turns out in the end. The democrats have fumbled the ball in a huge way, but that's how they got it to begin with. Pesonally, I would like to believe Eric Cantor's statement. He said, "We got fired, and we learned our lesson". Guess we'll see.

You beat me to it

The timeout is 6 months. Not sure why, other than the fact that it's gonna be some work changing your OS now. You're more likely to pony up after you're fully committed

I agree with almost everything you said, but yes they do. It's a very small percentage of the total number of cars. Same basic question. There's a failsafe missing somewhere. Is there an acceptable percentage?

DaveTN I haven't seen the show. I did a lot of reading some time back. What I'm sayin', I can't go back and recontruct my conclusion, so take it with a grain of salt. Here's one of the things I read that places no blame on Remington. It actually gives the original 700 trigger some high marks. They built so many of those rifles that there may not be a "right" conclusion. If some went out the door in an unsafe condition, it's still a miniscule percentage of the total number of rifles. You be the judge. I'm not a Remington hater. I've used their rifles since I was a kid. New Bolt Action Hunting Rifle Trigger Mechanisms

Socialsm... capitalism. We're stuck in the middle, and will receive little or no benefit from either. It does make for some good conversation tho

Sounds like you got duped. Windows 7 is probably your only option. I completely skipped Vista, but was forced into Windows 7 on the last laptop. You need a good key, and will probably have to buy it.

2012 is a long way off. Don't tell me you believe that anything will actually get done in Washington if there's a major power shift. If you get the power, you also get the blame. Who knows how it's gonna look two years down the road.

Are they still available? Can't find them on the Spike's website BTW strickj, nice photoshop job

Davidson county is probably blue. It was in the last election.

I think the right mix of people in a conference room may choose to opt out of the best, safest engineering to reduce cost, or to avoid revealing a smoking gun. You, of all people, know that happens. Sometimes those choices contribute to harming people. Not saying they're evil. Just saying they may be Toyota. I know that some of the 700 discharges were from folks bubba diddlin' the adjustments. Some weren't. When I got my 700, I wanted a real good trigger. Frankly, I was spoiled by my X bolt. I did a lot of reading, and found quite a bit of info on the lawsuits. I decided that my best solution was an aftermarket trigger group. The 700 is a great rifle, but the trigger sucks. I don't remember all the details, but I remember coming away with the feeling that Remington danced around the problem instead of attacking it directly. Instead of improving the design, they just painted it with lawyer goo. I could be wrong. Savage, Browning, and Winchester have great stock triggers. Remington can't seem to figure it out. EDIT: In your first paragraph, you mention the light triggers on the earlier guns. The lawsuits started when they were shipping lighter trigger pulls. My theory has been that those light pulls were right on the hairy edge of the trigger design's capabilities. Add a little slop in the machining and QC, and there's your problem.

He also mentioned some uses. I would have stayed out of the .243 thing, but some folks view it as a deer rifle. Fact is, it's one helluva varmint rifle with light bullets. Better than a 22-250. The OP was also looking for versatility.
