Thread: Well, we've finally managed to run everyone off. How sad.

my favorite gun is my SS 223 ruger . it was in the last run of SS rifles with wood stock .

I find myself envious of all the handgun talk. Here in Canada, we are very restricted in the ownership and use of handguns. A special (ie. difficult to obtain) licence is needed and you can only (legally) transport a handgun between your home and a licenced shooting range unless you are a LEO.
When I was young my dad owned a (highly illegal) 38 S&W revolver that I was able to do quite a bit of shooting with. I got to be relatively good with it, but now my shooting is restricted to rifles and shotguns.

I was going to say that I sympathize with you, but I really don't. There should be enough good folks up there in God's country to kick out the liberals and restore some common sense and adopt a 2nd amendment such as ours. The difference between a citizen and a subject is gun control and it's not about guns but it is about control.

Unfortunately the larger cities are predominately liberal and have control of both our provincial and federal governments. Our previous Conservative government was able to reverse the draconian gun registration laws that a previous Liberal federal government had passed but getting a "2nd Amendment" type of law would be almost impossible in this country given the strength of the Liberals here. Sad but true. Their idea of gun control is gun elimination.

all this transgender bullshit is just more progressive entitlement crap. we have soldiers that need equipment . we dont need trans people who go off roster and cost us a fortune for their clip job.

I have a couple nagant rifles and 1 revolver. One of the rifles is sportorized with different stalk and a scope. I love that gun and use it for high power deer season when it's available. I had a M16 but ditched it after I got my AR.

Roger, on the .17HMR. The best thing about it IMO is the ammo is easy to get compared to .22. Around here .22 is hard to come by even still because everyone buys it as soon as it hits the shelf. I have 0 .22s right now. My brother has a .17hmr and that thing is a tack driver. I've been saving to get a Kimber 1911 but other things keep eating the cool stuff funds.

Personally I'm not big on scopes unless you're a sniper, if you can't hit it with iron sights stay on the porch.

The first deer I shot was with my old mosin and iron sights and it was 350 yards out. I really like the elevator on them. I like long range shooting and like to use both, but a scope is dang nice. To each his own.

2 years ago I shot a deer with a .460 casull hand gun. I wish I owned that gun but it is a friend's. It's a sweet piece. That was the first year hand guns were allowed to hunt deer in Iowa.

That's pretty decent shooting. I've never been comfortable with a scope though I understand why the deer hunters use them.
The bull at the 500 yard line when I was in boot camp in 61 was 10" if memory serves me correctly and at 500 yards it looks like a pencil dot, at least to me anyway. I qualified expert in boot camp with an M1 but a couple of years later the best I could do was marksman with an M14.

Oh, I'm a sniper all right, skunks at 400 yards which is a safe distance from me, you bet I'm I sniper

Shine-I got 2 of those SS Ruger 223-one black stock and then I ran across a wood stock one also-------

Well Jerry, I can save the USA tax paying public a heap, there is only need for one brain transplant and it will be easy, remove blonde coloured rug and drill the smallest hole one can and suck the debris out and one would increase the intelligence of that person 100 fold. I can't understand what is so different in those people, I believe they still have two arms, two legs, a brain, two eyes, no, I think they are just normal human beings struggling within their own brain to be accepted as human beings.

i like a scope but most of the time i'm shooting at a moving target. hog or coyote . i tend to loose them in the scope. have a nice one on the 30.06 for long shot. but the 223 will run right up their behind in 30 rounds.

Maybe I should of used the term " BRIANSWAP" instead of ??????????
