  1. If I lived there I'd be jumping ship as quickly as I could. That place has gone from a reasonable state which had Reagan as a governor, to a state of illegal aliens, queers and wackos. It leans so far left that if good folks moved away, the place would fall right into the Pacific.

  2. Oy vey!

     

    This from an FFL licensee...

     

    Paul

     

    I've heard that term but had to look it up to be sure. Yiddish for "Oh dear" or the like. Why Oy vey? Especially on a site entitled "sporterizing.com?

    That is a beautiful rifle; very understated IMO. Not some veteran warrior turned into a gaudy, urban assault weapon. I have had a swede for better than twenty years. It is a real shooter and actually more sporterized (in the old style) than this example, though I did not do it.

  3. I had to look twice because the fore stock has those grip toughs like a Russian does. But the tip off is the lack of a magazine. I know you can reduce the mag to just a floor plate on an Enfield, but I have never seen it done on a Mosin or any variant thereof.

     

    That is a pretty gun, and should you want to get rid of it for any reason...

  4. No yellow leaves this far south in Alaska. Hoping to see some soon up on the Denali, where I have an appointment with a caribou and a moose.

    I couldn't hit jack with my .303 tonight, then I looked down to see that my scope had slid down the rail and was nearly off. The little .22 size Weaverish mounts came loose. Thought my old eyes were going completely haywire. Will have to boresight and go back and start all over tomorrow.

  5. What a state we are in!

    You can never borrow yourself out of debt, as this administration has attempted, and keeps attempting to do. Oh, and not only do we borrow, but we propose to lend what we have borrowed, such as offering to bail out Greece. Madness!

  6. The rifle is a 6.5x55 http://www.sporterizing.com/index.php?showtopic=7535

     

    There are many many reason why I frequently would like to live somewhere else.

    This was a beautiful day in the upper 30s, and everything just fell into place. It doesn't always work out so nice.

    I put up with an awful lot to spend these few days a year in the the mountains.

    I went back and looked at the link for your Swede Ken. What an elegant, yet no-nonsense rifle.

  7. I had to use or lose some vacation time so I figured I'd take a couple days and go hunting.

    As I approached the area I was going to hunt I spotted a large group of caribou a few hundred yards above me on the mountain. I pulled to the side of the road and parked below and out of sight of the caribou.

    After some quick preparations, I started my stalk.

    It was easy walking on the treeless tundra because the snow was windblown and heavily crusted. After climbing a short two hundred yards, I spotted about one hundred caribou cows, that were another three hundred yards off. Making use of the rolling terrain, I was able to sneak to within 200 yards and made one good lung shot.

    The animal jumped at the shot and the rest of the heard took off at a run. The mortally wounded caribou staggered about 25 yards and dropped dead.

    After checking the downed animal to be sure it was in fact dead, and punching my tag, I headed back to my truck to get my snowmachine and sleigh.

    After rolling the caribou into the sleigh, I noticed the rest of the heard had returned to within a couple hundred yards to watch. Naturally, all this time my camera was in the truck!

    The whole thing took less than an hour from the time I pulled over until I had the snow machine and caribou loaded back on the trailer.

    I stopped at the top off the pass and finally took some photos. The rest of the caribou had returned to where I had first spotted them as if nothing had happened.

    Livin' the dream!

     

    Hope I connect with a Unit 13 caribou this fall AND a moose. Is that a registration hunt. or a draw?

  8. They stirred up the little devils.

     

    Actually Psalm 1:1 is referring to conduct, not being in the area of sinners.

    Both, I believe.

    I make it a habit to not stand in the way of sinners bent on doing what they want to do. Kinda like throwing pearls before swine... a waste of time and treasure. I favor the I Thessalonians 4:11, 12 approach.

  9. i'm with roscoedoh. if they want to serve, let them serve! do you think gays aren't already in the military? repealing DADT wont change that...

     

    I'm skeptical at best. It's just one more push toward acceptance as an equally valid lifestyle, which it is not. I see major problems with homosexuals declaring inequity and maltreatment whenever things don't go as they wish.

    The stats they cited in their survey did not reflect the views of most combat troops, in fact it favored the views of spouses and desk jockeys. It should have remained a don't ask/don't tell situation.

     

    As for letting them serve, put them on the front lines with pom poms. The enemy will be happy to oblige.

  10. while I would give Mrs.Palin the benefit of the doubt against say Hill.

     

     

    She would not be my first pick.

     

    Why: She agreed to be little Mac's VP

    She gave up her post as Governor when things got a bit warm.

     

    Making speeches with her baby in her arms seems a bit TOO posed.

     

    I am still not sure of her.

     

    Karl

     

    I voted for her, but I won't again. Ms. Palin is a demagogue and a populist, but most certainly is not a true conservative.

  11. Happy Thanksgiving to all here.

     

    We had a nice one, The Hippy made a nice dinner and I spent the day reading a history of the Korean war and fixing computers.

     

    The one eared cat came by for dinner : )

     

    What did you fellas do?

     

    Karl

    We ate turkey, trimmings and pie and had naps. Then I and my my two oldest sons and son-in-law took our shotguns and went snowshoe bunny hunting in the new wet snow while the ladies cleaned up. Only my oldest son connected, but we had fun anyway. Obviously we are not big football lovers.

  12. I can't argue with people who live there, but I will ask; didn't they agree that the loser of the primary would support the winner?

    Absolutely. She lied through her teeth, and then cried about her loss as a sore loser in the primary. Now she is insinuating that Miller is a sore loser. What a hypocrite.

  13. What if that gay Asian vegan HIV+ woman had all the answers we needed to turn this ship around....As long as he/she is a Christian, 2cd Amendment supporter, strong on foreign policy, good at domestic policy, and able to run a tight ship, I think it'd at least be worth a look. Don't you?

     

    Dare you to find that person!

     

    Seriously, I don't care what a person does in the privacy of their own bedroom as long as they don't expect me to approve it. If they support and administer by the letter of the Constitution, they'd be OK with me. The problem is: minority politicians all seem to have an agenda above and seemingly more important than what they are supposed to be doing, which is serving the best interest of, and at the pleasure of ALL the people.

  14. lib judge ruling stealing election from joe miller .

     

    I'd have to say that Lisa herself has stolen the election, not any judge's decision. She did this by getting together a voting block from the villages and insinuating that she can keep the gravy train flowing. This was in marked contrast to Miller who said that the gravy train had to come to a halt because the government is out of money. In essence she was guaranteeing something she cannot deliver, and the native people are so used to government aid that they cannot imagine otherwise. I'm not being racist, my wife is native, but I have lived in the village and know how it is.

    The law is clear about write-in candidates, and Campbell and the judge should stick to the letter of the law, but I'm pretty sure she would get elected with the write-in votes which aren't questioned. She is a liar and a spoiler.

  15. Now that queers and openly accepted everywhere but the military (soon to be there also) I wonder which will be president first; a women or a queer?

     

    I'm thinking it will be a woman. Anyway, what's the difference between the two?
