I must have been in a hurry cause I did a schitty job of bedding and the barrel was REALLY floating around in the forend, and cock-eyed to boot. It shot like crazy...but I couldn't stand it anymore, so I tore into it today, removed the old bedding, did some fitting in the barrel channel, and re-did the thing. Im bored... Its this rifle... Found out it loves Vmax 50 grainers and cut those groups in half... Pics to follow when the weather lets me get up got the range...

However it was with a BDL just like that in 243 that I killed my first deer...normal guys buy the muscle cars they drove in high school, rifle looneys buy the guns they used in high school ( Yes...I got a Nylon 66 too! ) "...the left considers you vermin, and they'll kill you given the chance..."

Then again, you've been wearing Depends since they were made from ground sloth hide, so you might not care anymore.

He's bashful,Ingwe is the one who found out that flint will spark. Just don't ask him about his eyebrows,that's how he found out about black powder and sparks.

Discovering flint. I'm in awe. Originally Posted by Mannlicher America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'.

I will have to ask your advice on flavors, vintage, and proper smoking etiquette, though. Given your "ages" of practice on the same you should be able to he'p a brudda out.

Yeah, Ive been really biting my tongue on that thread and logged on only to say " This Thread is Epic" It is a real dandy seeing christians get all spooled up with others on how to be 'christian'...
