Congratulations, very nice.

Now why didn't I think of that?! I wonder how much stuffed squirrels in costumes would go for on ebay. Oh, and my mother taught at that school for over 20 years. I'm glad she's not there now or she'd be freaking out.

Looks like he'd be a lot of fun......to throw when properly flattened and dried out in the sun on a hot road.

Use a couple of these watermelons to keep it from falling over.

They must have received a huge bulk discount to offset the shipping costs.

Ya might call it overkill but...it doesn't have to always be on a plinker. http://swfa.com/Vortex-6-24x50-Crossfire-Rifle-Scope-P43585.aspx

SIS!

The red light cameras are politics and money. The scanners I agree with until I forget to register my car. Amber alerts could be settled very quickly with this technology all over the place.

I knew I shouldn't have called right then, but I was so anxious to get some information on the famous Charlie Chaplin. Plus I wanted some 12mp pictures of him.

I just walk on water without shoes at all, so I don't know what the big deal is....

Thoughts of surgery distracting you at all?

Sometimes I'm amazed...wait, this is still the USA right? Poor driving history?

Thanks for the input. I gave the whole setup a decent workout the other day and it seemed like a perfect fit. Actually put a perfect little .22 hole in the center of some small orange disks at 100yds.

I'll chime in from Lacey Twp. Municipal building closed one day per week, employees take furlough day on those days, three part timers laid off. Police get no furloughs and gain 1 special police officer. I'd still like my carry permit and laws changed. There has been a rash of b&e's.

Sweet. Do the mags have to be pinned or do they come in 15rd?

That was number one on my list until I bought a trimag. It's not beautiful, but it holds the ammo and with the extra weight the mag falls right out on release. edit...That looks nice and I'd do it myself if I didn't have the ugly trimag.

If they are properly maintained (detail not included) and not altered after sale (which is fairly common), or according to someone on that show, if it left the factory improperly adjusted. It's clear Mr. Walker brought it up in early memos and suggested a change to his own design. A defect in design doesn't mean it's a bad design, it only means that people are not perfect. A successful design can be that way including defects. It's clear the walker trigger group is a good design by accuracy and feel standards, it just happens to have a weak point. Some people think that weak point is more important than others. I'm sure considerations were totally scrapping the design, redesigning to prevent adjustment out of specification, and apparently Mr. Walker's own suggestion of additional parts, among others. Remington went with an extra 100% inspection step in manufacture, which is tough to maintain over 50 years and 5M rifles. What are the chances someone could get hurt? Some would divide the 5 million guns by the number of injuries. Where Remington would much prefer to say it's by the number of people hurt by properly maintained and unaltered weapons.

I didn't say it was a good idea to point the rifle in an unsafe direction and I said that I don't think people should sell their 700's. If I designed it I would call it a design defect. Mr. Walker acknowledged it as a defect in his design. The defect doesn't effect everyone, but it's something the owners of the weapons should be aware of is all. The show is more defective than the design of the trigger group, but it did make a lot of people aware. Frankly, Remington has acknowledged a potential problem with weapons that are dirty or adjusted improperly. They didn't say "DO THIS" if your weapon doesn't fire when you pull the trigger, obviously because they don't want to set themselves up for lawsuits. There are some circumstances where a 700 may be pointed at someone who shouldn't be shot at that moment. I think, at minimum, every sniper should be fully aware. Is it procedural? Remington should make a suggestion if that's so. Laying in dirt or sand on a windy day, does that bring on the possiblity of a problem? I don't know, but I'm sure Remington knows exactly how much dirt or how much adjustment error it takes to bring on a problem...or they should after 50 years.

I'm going to have to disagree here. If you, for any reason, have something that makes that safety stick a little it would be possible to (while for instance looking through a scope) think you put the selector to fire. Then pull the trigger and nothing happens. Then, thinking you are being safe you flip it to safe. That gun can go off without touching the trigger. Even if you change the order around, it's conceivable, and perhaps even more likely that you'll have this happen the more comfortable you are with that weapon. Anyone could argue that it's proper to think the weapon should always be pointed in the proper direction. I would say that it should be a more positive safe when you purposely switch it to safe. I don't think everyone should just dump their 700's because of this defect, and yes it's a defect, but they should pay very close attention with the knowledge that it is possible that safe is more unsafe than usual with this particular trigger group.

That's the exact one I wanted...but the Dicks deal sent me home with athumbhole blued in walnut laminate

Guess I'll find out soon. BTW don't buy a used airgun scope from me

Yeah, that was thrown in there because they just couldn't handle sticking to the facts. I don't believe that BS for a second.

It said in the show that they still sell the older trigger side-by-side with the x-mark.

Yeah, it just takes millions of used rifles off my consider list.

I just watched this and I know I won't ever buy one, when just yesterday I was sure I would one day. The guy who designed the "safety" recognized the problem. That's good enough for me. Have any of you guys loaded a bolt gun and run the bolt to unload it? Should it go off? No wonder there are a few injuries, it's an accident waiting to happen from day one.
