Help me choose a spotting scope
I bought the Konus 100mm from B&H Photo. I did not want to take the plunge for a Kowa off the bat. Kona is far superior but I often get a little too nutty spending $ on this sport. When, and if I get more serious I will sell the Konus and move up, but for now it serves me well. I see the 223 holes and that white board behind the target trick lights up that black circle just fine. Out of 16, 20 round groups I once got two x's in the same group, at 200 yds, which was akin to finally hitting that low slow rising line drive 300 yd golf shot. Damn that felt good.

Developing story - Shooting at Empire State Building
A firefight is a firefight, is a firefight. Even the mighty shit their drawers sometimes. I pray all the survivors get past this incident safely, especially the innocents and the Police Officers. Maybe the Police Officers more because of all the shit that's going to come out of the mouths of the misinformed. I have a friend that was involved with a righteous shoot, he has a hard time living with it. A little mercy on our part is due here. This was a lose/lose situation. I don't read the papers or watch the news, I just learned about this here on our Forum. Terrible.

sale inventory at cheyenne mountain?
Hey Bill, Beaucoup inventory, I went last Sat. and the gun counter reminded me of the bars accross from Yankee Stadium when The Red Socks came to town for the championship. It was three deep and the gun counter, ok so it was six deep at the bar, but by time you got to the counter we bought six beers apiece. Maybe you'll have to get 6 Ar's. The sale is continued to the 19th, I think.

338
I'm aware of the custom builds, 3000+. I specifically wanted to know for long range shooting. I'm interested in power and accuracy, for under 2000. Glass would be another investment. I only know of Cumberland at 600 yds. 338 is good for a 1000. Where do you shoot that distance. I'm not LEO or Military. I just like a challenge. I spent some time with 7mm mag, great round, just want to move up for the sake of more power. 1mph at a thousand ft = 10". It's a thinking man's game. At 60 years old I did enough bang bang bang. At 3 bucks a pop I'd like to think about it.

86 year old Veteran gets a black hat
I was raised by and around WWII Guys. They were all prideful of being considered regular guys. During my youth I had to get a regular haircut, get a regular pair of pants, go buy some regular shoes, eat regularly, eat a salad so you could stay regular. My Dad was involved in D-Day invasion and he just said he was there, never got in to it too deeply. Then I saw Saving Private Ryan and that landing against a heavily fortified beach. OMG There was nothing regular about any of these men. I was reading about USS Brown et al and their charging of a Battleship. About a week later I went to Florida and was in my parents community pool and met a man with a bunch of tattoos and as it turns out he was in that battle. I asked about it and he was comfortable enough to talk about it. They were being fired on with 3000lb shells. I asked how long it took during the battle that they thought they would live. He answer was none of them thought they would live. Regular Guys? I don't think so. Mr. Sarnoff, runs Etra Park, 82nd Airborne, and he laps me. 2 to 1, 80+ yrs. Frank Murray, Ardennes watched mortars tracing him in, Regular guy. MosinRob, thanks for the post, look around you, all of us are regular guys, and we will always rise to the occasion, just as our forefathers, because we're Americans, and are also Regular guys, it's in our blood.

New shotgun or AR?
Good choice on the AR. A shotgun will show up eventually. Think about this, if cars were equal in price to guns, what would you get? I know some guns cost more than cars. Let's just say they went for about $1000.00, how many cars would you have? I see within two years an H1, Chevy heavy duty pick up, absolutely one muscle car that spews gasoline and sounds like Odin farting, might pick up a used Delorean for a safe Queen, an old VW bug that you can set your points with a match book cover, a beemer so I could show my in-laws I'm taking good care of their daughter, and always keep my eye out for something else. Why do you need all those cars ? I don't, I just like them. ( end of sentance, end of rationalizing, end of story )
