Old KS ADL in Olive....now for the scope.

I sprang for the pillars too.

I dropped a nacho induced deuce about 15 minutes ago.

That shouldn't have been to hard for you. Now you're only 99% full of it.

For all the slack Rick cuts you here Swampy I only hope you ordered it through him.

LOL! Excellent..

Laffin

Not sure why he would have to cut me anymore slack than the 20-30 folks here that act much worse, but I ordered through the link on the Outfitter's Gear Shop. I didn't get the Edge, I went with the less expensive version.

Gentlemen,

DFTFT...

Didn't know McMillan offered pillars. When I ordered my one and only McMillan I seem to remember them making fun of the competition that used pillars, something to the effect that they had to make up for an inferior product somehow.

I assume that his is for one of your 700s?

don't feed the troll.

My bad, I was thinking about the aluminum bedding block that HS uses.

How is he a troll on this own topic?

Just a couple of his quotes about synthetic stocks. He's going for a reaction:

See there, Steelie does give a $hit.

He's trolling for reaction.

Glad he does because I don't

By talking nacho induced deuce aren�t you giving him the reaction he would be looking for if he was just looking for a reaction? By treating him as just another guy that has reached that stage in life where carrying a lighter rifle, one that kicks a little less, makes sense isn�t it possible that he may turn out to be such a guy?

They offer pillars. They were $26.00.

Caught my mistake, set out above, �My bad, I was thinking about the aluminum bedding block that HS uses.�

Catch a clue, dork...

Rancho,

AZ might just be a little naive, being a new member and all...

I had swampass pegged as a pink Ramline guy

He never did say what rifle/caliber, or the purpose intended. He didn�t go for the edge, talked about saving money. So, either he is setting up a range queen or still not to concerned about weight on a hunting rifle. (Games afoot Watson).

He has badmouthed McmIllans consistenly and as late as last week. He is cruising for a reaction.

I'd like to give a damn, but I don't.

I just ate the best guacamole I ever made, the best stuffed jalepenos I ever made, and the best hot sauce I ever made.

I'm sure I'll have something in common with steelhead say..........6:30 in the morning....if I last that long!

ETA: 2 things in common. Not giving a damn and dropping a deuce!

Or is he �cruising� for a little human kindness? I�ve been reading some of his stuff, and it seems like he wants to join in, like the little kid on the playground that never got picked for a team.

So, he must be building a range rifle cause hunting ain�t a team sport.

This one will be a 24" barreled .30-06 with ADL bottom metal. It's an everything up to brown bear rifle. Weight really isn't an issue.

I'm keeping 2 .30-06s and my .270. Everything else is going after I get back from scouting for deer property in western Kentucky next week.

Me either....

Beef fetus had way too much fat and sucked........but no need for fetus with all the other food I cooked.

So just to recap......

Beef fetus.....Not good.
Guacamole......Good.
Hot Sauce......Good.
Stuffed Jalapenos.....Good.

And I'll add that the Shiner was hand-crampin' cold tonight....despite the 100 degree temps.

My bad, a hunting rifle it is. Why swap out the wood for a McMillan? What, if everyone here has said is true, got you to not only try a McMillan but put it on one of only three rifles you intend on keeping?

Just wanted something a little more weather resistant. In these swamps you can never tell what's going to happen.

What are the other two wearing?

And might I add that I couldn't be any more happy that Wal-Mart is now making and selling the smaller flour tortillas. They're about 6" in diameter.....and good. If I need to recap and go over everything again...just let me know.

My pickup needs to be washed something aweful. Especially the inside.

Has it been determine what gender Rancho_Loco might be?

Mines a friggin mess too...full of dog hair...

And I'm going to need an oil change soon.....about 1,000 more miles. And we all know how much I dread that with a diesel. Might as well bend over, grab my ankles, and walk in backwards.

You know, I miss BS tooooooo. Some of his stuff was hilarious. Remember the guy looking for advice on shaving the front off of his scope?

BS was witty and funny. You�re not, go away.

I'm getting a beer. And a 10" flour tortilla from Wal-Mart (Everyone knows bigger is better)...

This should be good.

Has it been determined what your previous name was on here?

I'm thinking about a auxillary diesel tank with the combo toolbox for the bed. 'Twould be nice when hauling the 5th wheel. But I've done without it for 2 years now.....so probably just a waste of money.

Nah, a Hitch Haul would be better.

My suggestion would be a half-dozen of the 6-inchers....and a pack of hot links.....maybe a 12-pack of Shiner. I'm thinkin' you could get out for about $22 or $23.

you gotta have a tool box to carry all that crap you don't need.

Did you notice I used the word 'twould?? I don't believe I've ever typed that word before....much less said it.

I've still got some beer left over from the race, so I'm a cheap date tonight...

Nope.

Is a "twould" like a "taint"?

Last pickup I had, when I traded it in, I found a box of 20-gauge shells in the toolbox. Couldn't even read the box any more because of all the rubbing and vibration, etc. But they did shoot. Not 1 misfire.

I think.........just the female version.

What was this gaper's name before he got run off last time?

Good thing they didn't leave a box of rubbers in there too...

I don't know, but he's buckin' for a repeat performance...

My Bermuda grass on my front lawn isn't growing because my trees are getting way too big......too much shade. I'm thinkin' about maybe Kentucky Bluegrass?? Not sure it will do good here.

Swamp,
Googled big game in Kentucky and it doesn�t appear that they have any bears. Are you looking to move to Kentucky or just hunt deer over there? Where will the bear hunting take place?

Used one of those batter-powered fans attached to a water bottle Saturday for the first time in my life.....and I've been around for awhile. Went to the lake and it was 105. Thing sure came in handy. Could have stuck my head in the ice chest it was so freakin' hot.

You can say that again......That's the last thing I need!

ETA: And when I say "That's the last thing I need", I mean what may come as a result of using a holy rubber.

Just tried to change my online id, but it will need to be approved by �admin.� Or well. On a different note, if you guys have the power to run someone off, got any pull to get BS back?

Here's a question......

Is it illegal now to use Diesel to kill ground? I know my Dad used to use it on the farm....but that was 30 years ago. I'm guessin' it's frowned on now big time.

Need something to kill the ground in my alley and Diesel is just handy.

Reason I ask is because I got one of those notices from the city that the weeds in my alley were in violation of code. Problem is that code in Lubbock is no weeds over 8" tall. If we ever get any rain, weeds will grow 8" in a freakin' week.

So I was just thinking I'd kill the ground.

The EPA gets pizzed about it... dumped 200 gallons on a job site once..... the man told me a spill of 5 or more gallons was a "threat to the ecosystem" and it " should be swiftly reported"...f

Hell dude... you are a threat to the ecosystem...

At least you are if you are hunting hard enough!

I don't think I'd spray much more than 1/2 gallon if that. But I guess I'll just buy some chemical made for the job.

My super told me I was a threat to his health when I did it.......

Haven't read a book for fun in maybe 20 years. Books about guns.....yes. Fiction books for fun.....no. Just can't get interested any more.

Better to use the approved shizz so a "green" neighbor doesn't call captain planet on you....

Sounds like the voice of experience speaking....

That just sounded gay! Sorry about that.

I've had two azzhole neighbors that'd call smokey the bear on me if they found his number. I've had animal control, sheriffs dept, building code man and my land lord called before..

I know my neighbor across the alley called the city on me. She's a biaaatch! I had to mow over the alley about 20 times....and all of the dirt was blowing right into her backyard. And she was out on her back porch working on her flowers and schitt. I'll have to admit that I was laughing inside.

After I was done, I was in the backyard and I saw her going to the dumpster. She was walking back to her gate and I guess heard that I was in the backyard and said "Looks nice back here". I just said "thanks". Then she said "Sure is hot today, isn't it?". I just said "yep".

must be a tough trailor park...

I resemble that remark!

Me too!

i got a good bunch of neighbors. there used to be a crack house across the street though. that sucked...

In the days of the azzhole neighbor I was living in a glorified trailer park. Kind of a "modular home subdivision" if you will.....

I can't imagine why my neighbors don't like me???

Uncle Carl?.....

Anybody have one of those LED TV's yet? I'm thinking about springing for one.

I've still got an old school pre flat screen jvc...... too white trash chic to put a 56" plasma in a single wide......

I don't think I'm going to make it to 6:30 in the A.M.

I'll give an update in a few.

You dumb ass. He said "up to brown bears." Which is bullsh** anyway.

You shouldn't need google to tell you there ain't no brown bears anywhere near Kentucky. Unless you're sittin' on the front porch, strummin' a banjo.

Maybe try a Yahoo!! search. I've heard they have better data on hunting.

Whew. Dropped a huge cruller. Things really just all started running together....if you know what I mean. Must have been the combination of the guac mixed with the japs.

Who knew, Gaper's actually a word.

�Any� bears you dumb ass. Arizona�s got little black ones, having never been to Kentucky, or even thought much about the place, I didn�t know one way or the other as to whether they might have some. Except for you know everything do nothing waste of an otherwise perfectly fine human pelt googling to learn about something never harmed anyone. Hell, even one of your little buddies admitting to actually �reading� a book about hunting.

Not planning on hunting bears. I said "up to" Brown Bears.

We hunt Kentucky, TN, NC, AL, and FL.

Glad you are getting fresh avocados.

My tomatoes are taking off

We were able to eat our first home grown tomatoes yesterday. Very tasty.

So do you guys like the KS style ok?

Hope you draw your Georgia sheep tag this year, you've been trying for what, 10 years now?

Swampy likes to post about buying stuff, ask him for a photo and get a clue.

Bish

Sorry, no interest in anything Georgian. Must be the wrong guy. But I�ll tell you what, let me know the screen name and I�ll adopt it just for shiiets and giggles.

Swampy,
Don�t see the need myself, but would you post up a picture of a tomatoes, and maybe a pic of you eating one, just so these guys will shut up about you lying about everything?

Appreciate it.

Did you get that West Virginia mountain goat tag yet then?

Nobody said swampy was lying about tomatoes, just guns. I can draw a picture, if that'd help.

And just so you know, swampy don't bare hunt, he wears a loin cloth. At least that's what ingwe said.

I actually have hunted in a loin cloth. I don't recommend it.

+1


Big Time

Seen many people here at the Campfire state that they wished McMillan would offer that stock. It's one of the reasons the KS Mountain Rifle was so popular here as well.

I wear a loin cloth to hunt Ms Podunk around the house when we play Big Chief......

But Swampy can only play 'little chief'!

I reckon as long as mrs Swampy is content it dontmuch matter....

From the ingwe chronicles:.... "So there I was, following swampy through the dense palmettos, when he stopped suddenly. Too suddenly......

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!

Did you have Haddaway playing at the time?

Wood or synthetic?

Let's just hope it was a short action.......

Next installment: "We were surrounded on all sides by 8 year-old rutting spike bucks. They were getting randy, eyeing swampy and I in our loin cloths, snorting, and pawing the dirt. I was just about to retreat, but realized we'd left the golf cart over 100 yards away, so there was no time. The only way out was straight ahead, straight up the pike.

So to speak.

So I centered the donut in my sights, and forged ahead, bravely, where (I found out later) unlike the TV show, many men had gone before......(to be continued)



Most definitely, a woody. Only tool for that kind of job.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDHGKom8dQE

My people are from West Virginia. Didn�t know they were doing the canned hunts over there, need to check to see if anyone I know is involved.

And a plastic tip

Ingwe uses TSXs he most likely way over penetrated............

Just hoping he had tape on the muzzle.

Any spawn of THAT union.... <shudder>

You guys are terrible..

This MOfo is the gift that keeps on giving . Swampy 1/2 a peanut shell and a rubber band would have sufficed.

The perfect attire, to ass shoot dinks from a golf cart.

Thanks!

A heavy solution of salt water will do it.

Wait...

You actually live somewhere that they city has a code against weeds growing, and is wasting it's time (and your money) sending you citations about a f'kin' weed in a ALLEY?

Damn...

You know Swampy never specified what he was hunting while wearing his loin cloth....
I'll bet it was something like this.

He rides his Harleys' in that outfit is my best guess

I thought about the molded in camo but the olive looked like the old KS.

Yep. The city just changed the ordinance from 18" to 8" so they can rip us off. I see a need for the first but the second is just to have another good source of revenue. On the day the notice showed up on my door, i counted quite a few (well over 10) just on our block.

Hmmmmmm. Saltwater. Hadn't thought of that. Thanks.

2-4D will fix those weeds right up and it's cheap.

Public alley, or private?

Ordered the scope. 3-9X40 Conquest.

I'm jealous you're already gettin maters!

That Conquest is a deal. How hard did they hit you for shipping?

Not if the weeds are grasses...

Is the rifle stainless? OD and SS looks pretty good I think.

The shipping was about $8.00 I believe.

I picked 2 more tomatos today:)

The rifle is matte blued.

Butthole

To be fair I grew them in containers, and they were a type that is supposed to bear pretty quickly.

Topsy Turvy ?

No they are just big plastic containers that look a lot like wooden barrel halves. I think we got them at Lowe's or Walmart.

I keep all the suckers trimmed off below the first branch with fruit on it.

Ground Clear Triox. It will remain sterile for a year or two. Can get it at WM among other places.

What self-respecting Texan would make guac and hot sauce with anything but fresh avacados and tomatoes? But I paid the price again this morning.

Hot links may have had something to do with my messy constitution. That was the pre appetizer to the appetizer (stuffed japs).

The tomatos I'm growing are Patios.

Looks like rain here. Had 7" (of rain) last July in one day and nothing since. Glad I didn't wash my truck.

My wife washes mine....whipped?

Umm....... I don't know.

That catches me off guard every damned time I see it. I has to be legit, nobody can fake that. It has Northern CA written all over it.

Wonder what kind of beer he's got there?

Finally tracked down the smell in my house to the sack of potatoes in the pantry. How is it that a new 5-lb bag of potatoes can smell so bad? Didn't spot a single rotten one in the bunch.

I believe that was taken during my Bud Light years. Strictly Shiner Bock now and it typically does not give me the runs like Bud did (excepting last night and this morning, of course. I consider that an anomoly although an unpleasant one for sure).

Potatoes are sitting in the garage now, by the way.

I don't wear the mullet any more, either. Everybody knows those went out of style late 2009.

I was a little afraid to open this thread, thinking it might be a disaster. Boy was I wrong on that....

I picked 10 more tomatoes today.

My constitution is back to normal now.

Carpet is 15 years old in the house and I was thinking about some kind of neutral Berber.

You should get carpet made from old mullets

Today I decided that unless you are building a custom or putting it on an emotional favorite a McMillan is not worth it. Practiced retrieving in the pool with my lab pup.

You're right it isn't worth it. That's the point.

Then you need more than one

Thought about picking up one of his litter mates but the vet recommended against it, said it would interfere with the pup bonding to the family.

I like dogs.

No....I said NEUTRAL Berber. Not natural Berber. And I'd hate for everybody to be saying something about the carpet not matching the drapes....if you know what I mean.

There's a french word for that

I hate dogs & cats.

I'm going to buy a B&C Alaskan Ti for my .270 to see how I like it.

Try hardwoods - they mate up well with neutral, brown, black AND red carpet...

Yup. That's why if you order one now, it'll only be months before you receive it. There's just no demand.

But does your carpet match your drapes?

I have a better chance of winning the powerball lottery then Swampy has of owning a Mcmillan.

Texas Tech Red Raider carpet....Now you're talkin'!

But the hardwood comment was completely uncalled for. My rear hole is "exit only" if you know what I mean.

I prefer no carpet. Well maybe just a little landing strip.

Wait a second. Did he or didn't he order a Micky from Rick's gearshop ?

When you win, will you take me on a Texas hunt?

I did..

Who cares?

Speakin' of dogs. My GSP has had the walkin' schitts for 2 or 3 years now and has on-and-off mange. True story that. But that bastid sure could hunt quail back in the day.

Really?

What part of "exit only" don't you understand? And besides....if I was going to do a barber......he wouldn't be neutral, if you know what I mean!

ETA: Damn....you edit fast!

And if you need more homo talk, please refer to clark98ut's very first A-Hole thread. Not the 2nd one.....but the first one.

We had some of that Barber, but it didn't hold up well.

Are you talking to yourself?

Explains a lot!

Speakin' of homo talk and instant classics:

Hey......you dang woodchucks......quit chuckin' my wood!

Just noticed that, too. I should BTT that one, though....seriously. Instant classic.

Owning dogs is unfair to those who live around you. If you live 3 miles from the nearest person then you should be able to own one. Any dog found off the owners property should be fair game and it is in most of the south. They $hit everywhere and make noise constantly. Cats just $hit everywhere and scratch up your cars & trucks.

Hunting dogs that are kept up serve a purpose.

You should come to Lubbock and shoot my dog. I'd like to put him out of his misery, but don't have the heart to do it.

ETA: Well....he's old and has the walkin' schitts and mange. I really feel sorry for the guy.

You are [bleep] tool...

I played the trumpet in high school band. That was when band was cool and Loveboat ruled. I also played HS football. Needless to say....halftime was a bitch.

My DVR memory is full. Sucks to be me.

Speakin' of movies....anybody seen Big?

Memories........like the corners of my mind........

I like when he's eating that little corn.

Classic scene!

Or "OK, as long as I get to sleep on top"!

Found it.

Speaking of classics, Forrest was on last night.

Can only classify that as an EPIC movie...

That was the best the best line.

Little bitty stinging rain...big ole fat rain.....sideways rain

Lieutenant Dan.......Ice cream........

That's my boat...

Oh my side!

A local company does Cerakote so I may let them do the metal while I'm waiting on the stock. I need to order a couple of sets of Talleys. A Timney trigger should top it off.

No, the trigger goes on the bottom.

You should top it off with a scope. One of the Tasco's in your safe.

Sure wish McMillan offered the KS pattern for Savage rifles.

I think my Brown Precision KS stock is just about a perfect fit.

Oh well, I'm sure I'll be plenty happy with my McWoody Savage Classic.
I do hate the wait though!

I watched it on the road in the hotel room, one of my all-time favorites.
