Candidate for funniest post of the year. :A No1:

That 7x57 sure is pretty! :)

I'm going to be different than the standard 300 grain answer. 235 gr CEB pushed fairly fast, 2935 fps. Absolutely devastating on cats and anything else in the world with the exception of buffalo, elephant, and rhino. And, I'd hunt buffalo with that load in a pinch (if Lott went down for...

Come on @CAustin ! Buy it ! Broaden those horizons! Treat yourself to some nice wood! You know you want it.....

I've done my part and found a rifle to go with her scope. Now it's up to you Gina! https://www.africahunting.com/threads/pair-of-ruger-1s.71553/#post-1010896 She apparently didn't think I'd buy a rifle just because there was an extra scope. :A Bulb: I'm gonna pay for that one for a while. :A...

Well, my wife won a very fine scope at the AH dinner and she is always telling me to "buy her something pretty." So....

That is gonna be slick... And five rounds is awesome. I have a left hand Lott, but at some point (probably at retirement if all goes well) I would like a really nice .404 or .416 Rigby. Enjoy!

Gina, Nancy told me that even you couldn't get her to shoot. Sounds like a challenge to me....

Great to hear and I hope you make it too! You were missed. My wife was truly thrilled, and she doesn't even shoot. LOL

Definitely a big thanks to @R&M FIREARMS and @Mark Biggerstaff for the scope donation! My wife was thrilled to say the least! Now to help her find a rifle to put it on. :E Big Grin:

Prayers @Mark Biggerstaff !!! So sorry you won't be there. You will be missed for sure !

Yeah I'm a slacker.... Money finally sent for Royal plus two (Nancy and Jake).

Prayers!

That's what inflation does !

That really may be my favorite play, ever. I loved Bates, and he was a freshman, but wow!

You've got that right. The coattail ain't long but it sure is wide!

Last I saw the third party was 4%, so in a close race.... Could at least send it to runoff. Trying to remain objective, and although I've followed the race I haven't followed super closely, it seems that both sides have made some flubs. It may very well just come down to which candidate for...

I am NOT the war expert. But I will say this, most things ebb and flow and go in cycles. I wouldn't read too much into a slowing of recent advances anymore than I would have said during the summer that the Ukrainians were doomed. What will be more interesting to me will be to see if the...

The European plan of energy dependence worked out so well that Biden's handlers are seeking to emulate it. How quickly everyone forgets that Europe had its own energy in the not so distant past, not to even mention the abandonment of nuclear energy.

Geez man.... Do I have to do everything for you? Sigh.... Let me know when you want me to come to your house so I can put myself back on ignore for you.

+1 And I might add that the ignore function works quite well here. We are told that we should listen to others opinions, and that's true to a point, but only to a point.

Yup. Can't leaves the gays off the list. Did you also notice that on that one question only they talked about "support" and not "concern." I found that interesting.

That's where the issues do matter though and can't be set aside There are two ways to break the dem side of the Uniparty machine. Rep voters getting out as you mentioned Dem voters staying home because their issues aren't the important ones AND they are hit in the pocketbook when their party...

Pretty interesting if you believe it's correct. Gun control doesn't even make the list despite dem efforts to make it a top issue. And what are the other issues that dems are focused on? School issues (10)? Abortion rights (12)? Climate change (14)? Jan 6th made up BS (15)? Gay issues (17)...

Nah..... They are on the same team. People just think they have different goals. They don't.

I unfortunately disagree with the persuaded part... There is no persuasion. It is planned in advance. There is no Republican party and very few actual republicans. There is only the Uniparty, whose job is to play ping pong back and forth with the voters. Point the finger across the net, slight...

Yeah, I've seen some similar buzz on Twitter. We shall know soon enough I suppose.

Speaking of spending (or not spending ) money on the war in Ukraine. Read the thread, and even some of the comments. If this is true then the money we've and the sanctions may very well be the difference in the war when history looks back. The thread sounds like something from a Ludlum book...

Another first for the Dems. America's first Puerto Rican President !

Both arguments here are right. This is nothing but a stunt, but with some practical purpose (potential advancement of technology).

Trump is evil they said He's a threat to the EU and the western world they said. He thinks we are the enemy they said. Putin is a good guy they said. Russia is a good and stable country they said. We will do well to build closer relations with Russia and get our energy there they said...

Such a horrible public speaker. They have to have set her up to 1. Fail 2. Make Joe sound good. There just isn't any other reasonable explanation. And if she is reading off a teleprompter..... :A Banana Sad: I mean imagine how much better even the old VP Joe would have sounded.... That's down...

Prayers ...

And with inflation still ugly I don't see that changing much. Gas may have dropped back, but not much else has.

Just need to correct one thing factually. It isn't 100 lions, it's 200. That's a lot of lions to be around.... Saying Sherdell knows cats is an understatement.

Well done Toby!

Agree totally. The number of cats is incredible. The concession is also Sherdell's, which is a big positive in my opinion. He's Tanzanian and there year round. I prefer to hunt with an outfitter who's local. Happy to answer any questions but I'd certainly hunt there again.

Another vote for Leupold.

God bless the Queen. Long live the King.

So sorry about that Charlie. And although it truly is hunting I still hate it for you.

Thanks to all for the comments. I shared the link with Papa and he has throughly enjoyed the comments and has read them all. Thanks again !

:K Booby:

Excellent ! And what a plan for your 20th anniversary! LOL

When I thought it I typed fast to get it in next. Looking for the damn emoji slowed me down. LOL

Oh and we are almost two third of the way to page 12! Come on folks, we can do it! :A Rock:
