Congratulations. You served our Country Honorobly and now share the Pride of Being American. I am proud to call you Brother.

Commie Cosmo Weekend, now that sounds fun. Does that mean I need to buy another and save it for that weekend?

Congratulations

That thought makes me tremble in fear.

You either live in a bad town or drive a hot rod. Or just have bad luck with cops.

Damn, sucks to be you. Do you have a bumper sticker that reads harrass me? At least the PBA cards worked.

This has been my experience as well. I have found that everytime I was pulled over the Officer treated me as I treated them. My initial actions dictated their comfort level as they approached. I drive a van so I always turn on my interior lights at night ( in a car too )and always roll down my window and place both hands out side in plain sight day or night. The one time I was detained for the evening was for being a wise ass and calling a Mam a Sir. But she really did look and sound like a guy. It all went down hill from there, I just could not help myself.

Your inability, not the scopes. Savage makes a good rifle. Have fun with it.

wow, we are still doing this thread? Grab a gun and shoot it. If it hurts grab a different gun. Recoil, like pain is subjective. Find what you are comfortable with and have at it.

The 4 in has better balance and is easier to use for HD. If shooting paper or hunting the 6 works better.

I am #3 to say Alumahyde. Been using it for a few years now and the stuff works well.

Unless you are limp wristed and recoil sensative a 40 is fine. And if that is the case you should not be shooting. My wifes first gun was a USP 40, her next was an XD 40. If you like a gun that is in 40 get it and learn to shoot it. A plastic gun will have more snap, a steel gun will have less. If it is about ammo cost then 9mm. Definately try and shoot different guns before you buy. They all feel and shoot differently but do not let the inability of others to handle a caliber stop you from choosing it. Before you know it we will allbe shooting squirt guns because they have no kick.

Those wrestling figures are great. Self sealing plastic if you get the early ones. I shoot a 308 through them

Real nice Jack.

For most pistol shooting once I find a load that will cycle the slide and hit accurately I am done. I generally start with the lowest load and go up till that happens. It is only for punching paper so no big deal to me. For revolvers I play with the lightest possible to the heavieat possible just to see what it can do. Then I load light target levels and full power levels. Rifle shooting is for those who suffer from OCD. Trying to wring out the most finite fraction of an inch. I use to be that way when I was only loading for 1 rifle caliber. I made myself crazy trying everything possible for a fraction of an inch. Since then I do tune my loads for each rifle and caliber but I do not stress over the difference between 3/8 or 1/2. Sub MOA is Sub MOA. I am not a benchrest shooter so the minute differences do not mean anything to me. Depending on the rifle milsurp vs precision. Irons vs scope. You have to know what to expect from a rifle and develop the loads accordingly. For all my relaoding I find a load that works and I can use and then for some calibers I use more than 1 powder for different levels of performance. All of my pistols will shoot Win 231 loads. For 357 Magnum I use Win 296 for magnum loads. Same with rifle, most of mine will use IMR 4895 loads. Then I specialize based upon need or rifle. Semi vs bolt. Target vs varmint load. This has helped me to ensure I always have powder on hand that can be used.

Why don't you teach them? The safety rules are no different for an adult or child. Just takes some time and repetition. It will give you good bonding time with the kid and help you remember the rules as well. Everytime you shoot you go over the rules again and they will get it.

With waste like this you know why they charge $400 extra to join the first year.

Cody is shooting the 597 we picked up from you last year. He made honor roll all year so we kept adding to the gun and painted a stock for the final part. He is dead nuts accurate with that red dot too. It is a great shooting rifle.

That is part of keeping them interested. Makes it custom for them and keeps them wanting more. Both are already talking about their next project gun.
