…..sssoooooooo, you see yourself having a need for someone who knows how to build shit?

As usual, it has been funny and fun.

Suggestions still appreciated, just because. I have the time to learn the ins and outs.

Good night, in 20 minutes or so!

And I should add that my new MacBookPro is far cooler than any gun could ever be. So far.

Just for targets at long-range, for sure.

Wow! A whole new world out there! I mean, I’m serious about not being a gun culture guy. Honest, I’m a pacifist.

But I’m not big on being a victim. Go, NRA!

*wry grin*

I just want the bullet to go where I aimed it, at the best possible value, from potentially far away, or to scare some moron who breaks into my house for food because 20% of us are in soup lines.

Just surfing and having some fun on the ol’ birthday thinking about a nice target rifle, which is my right, dammit, Mr. NSA. I’ll register the thing.

But its not a fighting gun, its a hunting gun. So think about what your goals are, what your needs are, and what you hope to accomplish.

Just saying….

It isn’t like money is NO object, since I can’t imagine using it for anything but target practice.

LOL.

I’ve never owned a gun. Mom said I’d shoot my eye out.

Shot a bunch of ‘em in my younger days, and have an uncle with a full-blown arsenal, so I can get the practice.

Purely in self defense. Of course. I’m combative, but non-violent.

I’d suggest that everyone keep their head down when things get out of control. You’ve gotta know that these clowns are aching to declare martial law and make Chimpy President-for-Life Bush.

Despite what Mikey said about .308, it’s a superb round for what you’re talking about. If money isn’t a problem, look at FAL-FN and the variants built around that platform. When properly tuned and sighted in, they’re deadly accurate and (forgive the term) bulletproof as far as normal gunk and grime and mishandling. You need a rifle built for military purposes, rather than a normal “truck” firearm.

Look around. See what you can use. Try to stock up on stuff. Think and plan. I don’t know if that will really help that much, but I really doubt that rioting will help matters either.

Looking around, hoarding stuff, thinking and planning, I can get behind all of that. But then what? Rioting is inelegant. Time for a new paradigm. One that’s efficient, effective and undeniable. Hm. Wonder if these crates full of Guy Fawkes masks will ever come in handy?

It’s just a thing with me.

Ideally, it would have a night-scope and silencer, though I understand the latter decreases accuracy, so I’m willing to pass on that, at least on the original purchase.

:-)

I’m willing to practice.

Suggestions welcome.

.270 is powerful and quite widespread. Gives you a lot of options, but not great for combat or defense. .22 is almost a necessity, just get one, its a hundred bux, cheap, robust and can turn small critters into food and discourage big critters from fuckin wit ya.

Mini14/Ranch14 is a real good option. Lots and lots of .223 and 7.65×39 to be picked up, stolen and taken off the dead. And you can get plastic furniture for it, folding stocks and big mags.

.308 is a powerful round, and you can pick it up everywhere, but not generally available in semiauto and kind of more powerful than you’d ever need, so I’d think about passing.

So what’s your plan?

Why are they giving it away?

But that’s only because I have to fill the Hummer with premium.
