That was Pennywise the clown.

This is hilarious!

If you get Amazon and you want to watch a very interesting and entertaining series this is a good one. Fair warning. It’s bloody at times.

No TP, Paper Towels or bottled water at Sam’s Club today. Complete pallet aisles were clear. Morons panic buying. No paper products and little bottled water This area is always full of products on pallets. Here’s the great part. When the strike is over the lady at the register said Sam’s will not accept returns of these goods. I really don’t like people in general. Especially weaselly selfish spineless douches that can’t buck up or use their brains for anything besides their own petty BS. I just read that the strike may be over. I think the best way we can pee all over these dock pansies is buy products that do not go through the docks. Made in USA, Canada and Mexico don’t come in through the docks, I am pretty sure of that.

Here both FedEx and UPS have closed their service centers. The nearest UPS is 70 miles. The nearest FedEx is 50 miles. FedEx has a sign on the door of the closed facility 3 miles from my house that says “All FedEx drop offs or shipments should go the the Box & Ship store in Sabraton.” That’s 4.5 miles from me. I needed to ship a rifle to Ruger via FedEx. I walked into the Box&Ship store and handed them my package and waited for a receipt. The young lady scanned it. Stared at the screen for a moment then looked at me and said “Thank You” as she handed me my receipt and I left. Not sure how often I will get away with that, but hey, I was just following the shipper’s instructions.

They probably do. Nazi paraphernalia is very popular with some folks. Me? H*** No! But I have known people that collected all sorts of Nazi items.

I believe so. I guess I was off on the target size. I thought it was 4’x8’. It was 12’x12’ Then they made it even bigger. I’m pretty sure the goal, as you stated above, was to rate it’s volley fire capabilities. Thanks Joe.

“Shame” huh? I recall reading an article in an old Shotgun News about the trials for accepting the .45-70 cartridge and the Trapdoor Springfield rifles. I recall they were “accurate to 1000 yards”. Then I read the details of the test conducted to make that claim. They were lobbing rounds at a sheets of plywood sized targets 1000 yard away. I don’t recall the actual dimensions but it was big.

Lucky Lobbing I was asking myself “How is this ‘Marksmanship’?” When I came across this in the article: What does it signify in terms of actual marksmanship? That’s a somewhat difficult question to answer as a lot of skill, engineering, and prep work—more than 1,500 hours, It’s a very interesting effort, but I don’t consider feats like this to be “marksmanship”. I highly doubt a military marksman or a highly skilled hunter gets to plink away 69 times at their target or quarry. Note: By “military marksman” I am not referring to the skill level badge

“Everything is so green”

Years ago a friend bought a 336 because he loved mine. He had the same issue. Lovely sideways profiles of his bullets in the target. He was quite upset. I let him try some of the factory loads I brought. Same thing. It turns out the prior owner shot a bunch of lead bullets through the micro-groove barrel. It took my buddy a while but he got the lead out (no pun intended) and it shot like a champ. Perhaps the barrel is leaded up.

There are 3 guys that frequent my gun range that have Ruger Americans and they sing their praises. Once they figured out the right ammo they had nothing but good to say about them. Out of the 3 guys / 5 guns they said CCI STD Velocity was good and Federal Automatch was impressively accurate at 100 yards. Both inexpensive ammo. —————————————————- I think I am leaning towards staying with Rugers in 10/22 Takedown and an American bolt gun. As @bgavinsaid, they all use the tried and true rotary mags. I have zero interest in buying a used gun. Finding parts is getting harder and harder. I am bailing on the tube fed bolt gun idea. Thank you all very much.

Ooh, that’s a nice one. Thank you. It’s on my list. It’s tough to pick out these things when you know zilch about them. If you ask a gun store clerk it either becomes a living ad for their favorite or a macho fest of blather. “I just came in to look at suppressors, Man. I don’t care about your exploits at survival camp…” (He was never in the military…) Yes, I actually had to say those words.

On the west coast once a “dock worker” gets a few years under their belt there is a very good chance they are pulling down $150-$200,000 per year. I know this because a good friend of mine’s dad worked the docks in LA Harbor. Also included in this title of “dock worker” are Stevedores, Crane Operators, Longshoremen. One is only a “dock worker” or laborer for a few years then they start moving up in status and pay through seniority. I have no sympathy or support these (BLEEP bleep, bleeping) no good money grubbing (Bleepers) And another thing, the days of dockworkers throwing bags of stuff over their shoulders and humping all day is Film Noir dramatics. They aren’t the dock workers of old. Their swagger comes from emulating the old days, not from the “work” they do now. Screw ‘em! I’ll eat canned goods. The great thing is maybe this will open people’s eyes as to how much stuff is imported and no longer made here. Oh, and by the way, this will put another damper on our favorite sport - Shooting.
