It depends if it's an American or British pronunciation.

Bean if it's American.

Bine if it's British.

How do you pronounce Marine?

car bean
Pronounced car-bean here but what do I know. I just learned yesterday that Sako rifles are supposed to be pronounced Socko.

And the pretentious make sure they say Lapwa instead of Lapooa

Two Englishmen in a pub were arguing about whether it's Neether or Nither. They finally agree to ask a 3d person and accept what he said. There was a Scotsman at the far end of the bar so they decided to let him settle it.
"Sir, is it properly pronounced neether or nither?"
"Nayther, Laddie, Nayther."

Top of the morning to you sir, I hope your July has been behaving appropriately so far.

Since I'm north of the medicine line, it's the British "Bine" up here.

One never, ever, never asked to look at that "Jungle Car-bean" at a gun show up here - never.

All the best.

But then there are "shine", "mine" and "tine". My dictionary indicates both pronunciations may be correct.

Worked with a guy several years ago and one day he was telling us about a car accident he drove by on the highway the previous night. Told us they used the life of jaws to remove the driver.

How about car-bean?

So I picked up a Sako Kokotukki (fullstock carbine) not to long ago. In .338, I've been looking for Lapua brass and trying to determine what type of vihtavuorri powder to use in it. I mounted a 2.5 x 8 Leupold scope in Lynx and Hillver mounts.


Knock yourselves out, you linguistic prognosticators.
