Great, you are the one forcing me to call the idiot an idiot...

But I think I will just weasel out of this one and pretend J Obama is right and every tenet of scope mounting and use is outdated... Yah verrily, eclipsed, I say eclipsed, by the use of parallax to maintain head position.

Since your ear is bound to get tired hanging out there off the end of the recoil pad it may as well be held steady there with "chin" weld and parallax.

or not...

I used to think Lee was just a troll. Now I think he honestly believes his BS and is a sick, sick person.


Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

teal,
If you read the original post, those bass on the table are just the ones we kept to eat. The big one is 29 inches long.

If I go fishing this weekend, I'll lay the fish on a yardstick and take a picture for those of you who have never seen a bass over 5 lbs, and can't judge size. The boys from the South won't need the yardstick.

Not likely.

Even if we are to believe that this fish is 29 inches long - it won't make 13 lbs in weight. No way.

Using this calculator (go down to bass specific one) it would have to have a girth of 19 inches to be 13.32 lbs. That fish isn't only 10 inches skinnier than long (assuming the 29 inches is true)

Mepps figures a girth of 20 inches with a length of 29 to get 13 lbs

The "average" girth for a fish that size (and most charts don't go to 29 inches for bass due to the EXTREMELY unlikely possibility you have one that big) is 16.82 inches, that gives you about 10 lbs at best. Here.

The body type of a bass would have to be "large for class" at 29 inches and 18 inches of girth to get you 13 lbs here. That fish isn't.

The world record fish (large for class body type) was a bit over 32 inches long and weighed 22 pounds. Yet yours is only 3 to 4 inches shorter and 10lbs less?

[Linked Image]

This is a Field and Stream photo of a 13 lb bass (caught by the same guy who got the world record) It is at 13 lbs and much larger in girth than your fish.

That's 4 different length to weight calculators all showing about what would be needed to get a 29 inch bass to 13 lbs - yours doesn't measure up.

FYI, "2 hours north of the FN plant" would put you well into NORTH Carolina. Check your map before posting next time.

I will actually be in FN soon on business, so if I find anyone there who was around when my rifle was made, I will talk to them. Most of them are not familiar with Winchester prior to two years ago.

Meanwhile, the nameless Winchester contacts claimed by my detractors will remain vaporware.




Liar24,

Like I said in my post. If you where legit, you would have closed the deal by posting the picture. There are many "good" engineers who post here that I learn from routinely. The only degree you have is in TROLLING. VA, Matt and the boys had you pegged from day one!! The only real thing i think you have ever invented is that twisted demented state of mind in your fuggin head.....

Lee - she has a 22 inch waist - your bass isn't 3 inches smaller.

Don't matter whether it's fish, firearms, or fry sauce, he wouldn't know the truth if it kicked him in the arse.

Williams, you and VAnimrod have had over 2 years to come up with the names of the people you claim to know at Winchester. You were bluffing. Pull up your pants.

Other people don't have any problem getting me to post pictures, just those who insult me first, and then demand that I do this and do that.

Gosh! It's after your bedtime. Sorry to keep you up.
Get an adult to read the yardstick for you, on my next fish.
