I just remember how well it worked in the late 70's.

Seems to me it wasnt all that long ago that Iran was calling for the death of America and Israel. Isnt Iran supporting trade with Russia? Just trying to understand why we owe Iran anything.

Never wanted to damage the guy just send a message. When you break your squad members you get to stand thier watches. D cells would definitely suck on the receiving end but good info.

Accomplish the same thing with a sock and a bar of soap. Just not as classy. Learned that in the service. Something to do with blanket parties.

My choice would be 9.3x57 or 9.3x62.

Mine is as well. I inherited a 7600 BDL in 270 win from a close friend, my old gunsmith. He passed 10/11/2024. I think it is an excellent rifles for deer hunting and hope to use it someday. The OEM magazines are getting hard to find and thier prices are going up.

I see the 243 as a good varmint predator cartridge. I do not see it as a deer or antelope rifle. I have a 243 on an ar10 platform and 2 @ 6mm Remington rifles . The 6mm remington is superior to the 243 in all ways except for ammo availability. I do not understand how the 243 pushed the 257...

We use to hunt the Heppner unit in Oregon for elk. They had a lot of free range beef cattle. They were a pretty aggressive so we always picked up a few rocks we would carry in our coat pockets. We really did not want to hurt the cattle but if the rocks did not work the rifles would. Fortunately...

When i was a kid and got into the canadian geese. I knocked one down with my single shot 20 guage. Went over to pick him up and he came right at me. This was a surprise as I thought he was dead. Did a hip shot and took his head clear off at about six feet of distance. My dad laughed his ass off...

I come here mainly to hear about the great rifles and those that use the great rifles This is truly a gem. I love the early southgate rifles. I would be afraid of getting a ding on this one. It would never leave the safe

Thanks for your opinion - it's worth less than I paid for it.
