I am a live and let live guy, just do not bother or hurt anyone else. With that said I cannot stand commercials that make children the parents and the parents the children, the wife and kids making the father look like a retarded simpleton and pushing gay relationships like they are more the norm than a normal marriage. I am not against mixed marriages, but I have seen a large increase in those kinds of marriages that are way above the actual ratio in commercials as well. It seems Hollywood and advertisers are pushing an unrealistic view of who we are. Understanding the truth of who we

3 shootings in a week by young men is very disturbing. For a young male to get so frustrated so angry that they feel they must to make a final life statement while they take people along with them to the end is just madness. This shouts to the cancer that has formed in our country. Will we finally listen? Why not Young women? Why is it just young men? It is not the guns fault; it is young men who have no male role models or mentors to get them by when puberty ends and the struggle with basic maturity begins. I think we have entered a time when this behavior will be much more frequent.

Question about trueing a bolt?
jerry52 replied to Squeaky's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Wow! $400 You have just entered the rabbit hole. Glass bedding may or may not help your gun. Shoot it and then see if it is needed. All barrels flex as the bullet is zooming down the bore. I have found that a good resonator and a good load that works with the rifle is the best money spent -

What is it with Portland?
jerry52 replied to Squeaky's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I have nothing against Portland or its people as my Father was born near there. I have been there, and it is a nice city as city's go. The nature in Oregon is breathtaking it dives you to the view than only a God could make such a place. I do not object to peaceful protests that stimulate thoughtful exchanges of Ideas between two opposing viewpoints. I have gotten over the outrageous treatment of Nam vets, as sometimes passion can move people to act in stupid harsh ways. Back then they had a central misguided reason for doing what they did but at least they had a r -

They guy is still in the hospital with a brain bleed. He should have had a CNN jacket and they would not have bothered him. Remember where this is . A place where extreme liberal CA people go because they thought CA was to conservative. I wonder how may of these wonders live at home with mom. There is nothing to prove going to one of these affairs nothing. You cannot reason with the likes of this trash , it is a waste of time. I am sure the police are caught between a rock and a hard place. They probably thought that he was asking for it by being there ( not saying that is rig -

Mil adjustment question
jerry52 replied to Squeaky's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Shoot 1st round ,then aim at bulls’ eye again. Then carefully without moving the guns position adjust the cross hairs on scope to line up with the location of the bullet hole. Shoot again and your scope will be centered or zeroed for mil adjustment. Now that the rifle is centered you can now use your mills for range finding and windage. You must know the size of your target to range find. You must also need to know your bullet drop in mils per meter or yards. You are making it to complicated for yourself. Have fun -
What is it with Chicago?

The migration of NY libs ect. has slowed here in Florida and now the Midwest surge of boomers are coming in groves. Because of that the next election will not be so tight. Sorry about NY YOT but you can move them all down here to the Gun Shine state and life will be great.. (Just remember My first rule in investigating: You can fine all the things that look like foot prints of Big Foot but unless you find its crap you have nothing) Its the difference between hypothesis and reality) Time to move my friend and come into reality. -

The Area Rule deals with wing design for efficient drag. Bullets have no wings. -

The wife said I have to many guns and to many guitars. When you get old you find out that you have every thing you wanted when you were 30. Love your Saiga AK in the other post. One thing my Wife knows , if I really want something bad she lets me get it. Sounds Like Yours is the same. -
Custom barrel questions
jerry52 replied to Squeaky's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I would ponder what you are going to use the gun for. If it is for range shooting dump the 10 round mag Idea . You need to put the time into talking to people who shoot custom guns , most will go out of their way to share what works and what does not. Bull barrels are nice but some lighter barrels will shoot as good , as the barrel is only one part of perfection. I do not shoot heavy barrels . I have become a big fan of 5R rifling in the 308 , De-Resonator , 3lb triggers and barrel T-stat. Also have mixed feelings about bedding a poly stock ( not sure the effort is worth it) but -

Not to be dis respectful but maybe some of Moms book proceeds is freeing up some of your cash. I am happy she is doing well . I would Mill your own lower and get the best upper you can find. Be One with the gun. -
The Glock is like a old worn comfortable pair of work shoes. You just put them on every day and go. I have other pistols but I just find the Glock a habit. You would think that now that I am retired I would mix it up a bit but so far that has not come to reality. I have a XDM 40 4.5 in that I am brilliant with but what can I say.

Pheasant hunting in MN

I was taught to love walking and do it well. I here you about the elliptical but for now is my treadmill. I think by the end of the month I will head out to the range (if the boss says so) She is just making sure that I will be okay. Spent the day redoing my recording studio in my home office. Always something to do but now I have the time.
