  1. Check out the Sheppard scope site. Their scopes are AWESOME but pricey. However, they have a bunch of neat tools for picking / matching a scope to a caliber, ballistic tables and charts and load data. http://www.shepherdscopes.com/ Also, with a 1-7 or 1-8 twist, you'll want to stick with bullets that are 55gn and heavier. You will probably over-spin a 40, 45 or 50gn pill. Maybe go with solids, too. If you're hand loading, here is what I might suggest. http://www.theamericanmarksman.com/1000-CopperHead-223-Remington-55gr-BT-SOLID-COPPER-2nds-bullets-1000-count-Free-Shipping_p_378.ht
  2. See! The feds DO know how to secure a border. Now - If we only get them to secure the U.S. / Mexico border as well as they secure their border with San Angelo, everything would be groovy.
  3. McDonald's is the one that used (uses?) kangaroo meat... As far as I know, BK uses only USDA grade D meat. Just like the military....
  4. Wow! That is were I went to A.I.T. back in 1985. I know the piece of land they are referring to. I recall the SP's there were pretty much "mouth's with badges" then. This is just bad! Macbeau...
  5. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/09/04/florida-gun-maker-produces-assault-rifle-never-to-be-used-by-muslim-terrorists/?intcmp=hplnws I was Hoping that maybe they used pork fat as a cutting lube in the manufacturing process... A biblical verse on the side, to a terrorist, is not exactly like holy water to a vampire. However, I have never seen a Muslim terrorist use a Galil, Tavor, or UZI... So what do I know? Still - I want one with the "God Wills It" position on the selector! God loves Rock & Roll! Oh! And you too! Macbeau....
  6. Global warming? A lack of federal funding? No "Saiga Lives Matter" organization? ...
  7. Obama did say he wanted to ban Saigas.... Perhaps he can't make the distinction between the critter and the firearm? That is pretty eerie though. Macbeau...
  8. https://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AiCQhlqt9cmb6I0buaIiH36bvZx4?fr=yfp-t-412-s&toggle=1&fp=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&p=peter%20griffin%20bird%20is%20the%20word I heard somewhere that the Bird was the Word, not Dad...
  9. Here is what Cobra is leaving out. For those of you who don't remember or joined the forum after June of '08. Shannon (Cobra) and Ben (BVAMP) were both mods at the time. Drew (Juggernaut) was a new mod. Shannon and Mike Davidson had been quietly discussing, designing and beta testing the first generation of the now famous MD-20 drum. (at the time, only factory 5 rounders, imported Saiga 8 rounders from Russ Military and homemade mags were all that was available). Ben got wind of their "plot" and banned them both for basically not consulting him first and / or not cutting him in on the d
  10. That was a self inflicted injury on the UK's part. ...And so is our current problem. It started when Reagan (of all people) granted amnesty to illegal's in the mid 80's. Then came NAFTA and CAFTA. Then, while we whooped ass on the cartels in Columbia, we somehow managed to move it closer to home - to Mexico. Just think - there was NO immigration here between the mid 1920's and mid 1960's. US Border patrol regularly shot Mexicans crossing the border illegally. Read some of Skeeter Skelton's and Bart Skelton's accounts of what the Texas border was like in the 40's, 50's and 60's...
  11. Stay By your definition of "troll", Ben should be kicked of the forum long before JDeko. Probably Gaddis too - some of the crap he posts makes me thow up a bit and that's quite a feat!.... Granted; JDeko doesn't offer much to the discussion of Saiga's or AK's or firearms in general. And the pictures JDeko posts aren't especially funny, interesting, on topic or thought provoking, but I see NO reason to kick someone outta here just because of that. I have seen no fights started, heated arguments, flame wars or anyone called a "mouth-breathing fuck-tard" in any conversation involving JDeko
  12. I wish Marlin still made their Camp Carbine in .45 ACP and 9mm. I'd have one of each. I also wish used Camp Carbines didn't cost $700 +/-. Macbeau...
  13. Smart choice of the rifle over the pistol! I'm even happier that the cops saw things his way. I love stories with happy endings!
  14. I don't think .308 is inherently "more accurate" than .30-06. I think it is usually referred to as being more "efficient". IE: It will do about 97% of what a .30-06 will do in the 140gn to 175gn bullet weight range, in a more compact package. This allows the use of shorter, stiffer actions and the use of about 4/5ths the amount of powder (shorter burn column). Also. .300 Win Mag is to .30-06 as .30-06 is to .308. .300 Win Mag really comes into it's own with bullets of 200gn to 220gn weights. Macbeau...
  15. TN is a full NFA state, "Shall issue" carry permits with reciprocity with about 30 other states. State pre-emption law too. Being landlocked and mountianous, they don't see much hurricane related weather, other than rain from dying hurricanes that came in via the Gulf coast. All of my mothers people are from eastern TN. Kinda Chattanooga to Knoxville and east. I spent a lot of time there as a kid. Lots of small farms, hills/mountains, lakes, rivers, creeks and streams. 4 distinct seasons with mild winters and summers. They do have an almost 9% sales tax, but other taxes are mild.
  16. Happy Birthday, Bro! And turning the big "5-OH"! Glad you are still among us! Keep the Hot Sauce and Saiga goodies flowing! Macbeau...
  17. Tennessee has no state income tax, pretty low property taxes, depending on where you live and is very gun friendly... The summers are pretty nice too (at least eastern TN). I am a big fan of both TN and TX. The weather is low on my list of concerns cause I live in S.E. GA. Summers here make Houston and Dallas look like virtual paradises. Macbeau...
  18. From Jeep to Powerwagon, to Gama Goat to CUCV to Hummer to this... https://www.yahoo.com/autos/oshkosh-wins-675-billion-military-contract-to-127648156032.html Looks more like an MRAP that a GP vehicle to me. I guess that's what's needed. Macbeau...
  19. (pi)®^2 ? No! Pie are round! Cornbread are squared!
  20. Nobody here hates you, Ben. We just don't take you as seriously as you take yourself sometimes. Macbeau....
  21. You sure give us lots to talk about and this would be a different place without you... Macbeau...
  22. If that had happened in this country, under this administration, the Feds would be investigating these three to see if they violated the gunman's civil rights. Then there would be the "protests riots" and "Homeless Lives Matter", or some such non-sense.... "Khazzani is said to have told investigators he is "dumbfounded" by accusations he was intending to carry out a terror attack, and insists he was only trying to rob passengers. He said he merely stumbled upon a weapons stash in a park in Belgium and decided to use it to rob passengers, according to Sophie David, a lawyer assigned to h
