We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth? Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

Of all of the things I can think of that a game warden might need to do, that just would not be my firearm of choice. Truth is, I don't know why the police would have one. Great prairie dog rifle though. Jeff Cooper???

Archerhunter Campfire Ranger Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 17,048 A sandy knoll,	Originally Posted by Notropis I use several of mine in both 223 and 308 and have no complaints. The 308 rifles are not too awkward and the 223 rifles have been used for one-shot kills several times. I usually use a bolt action for most of my deer hunting but have no problem with the evil black rifles in the field when hunting deer. I have a friend who has used an AK or SKS for years when running deer with dogs. He does not let many go past him. Those commies mentioned can go sit on snakes. I am afraid the poor snakes would have a hard time getting the bad taste out of their mouths. I've killed my share of kritters with a pos old sks. Damn good choice walking thick cover for late season deer. Even with original wood stock that was built for little oriental bastards with arms too short to stick their hands in their pockets. Very maneuverable in thick cover. Meat in the freezer. BAN THE RAINBOW FLAG! PERVERTS OFFEND ME! "When is penguin season, daddy? I wanna go kill a penguin!" ---- 4 yr old Archerhuntress

I have one that's medium heavy, but when I want light, I pick up my M-4. Both shoot under MOA. Virtually everything I shoot at is DRT. What's not to like? From coyotes to oryx. DRT. I think Blue and I must be kinfolk... Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!
