Watching Full Metal Jacket now .
I'd like an M14 myself.

An M16 is way better for its intended purpose.

Morning midlanders!

How is the recoil on that, as compared to any other .30-06 you've shot? I've played with some '06's that were pussy cats and others that made the .300 Win Mag and .416 Rigby downright enjoyable...


1911's are beautiful. My EDC is a P-250 Sig in .40, with a DAO trigger though. I shoot enough double action revolver now Between my Taurus 608 and my S&W 629 that I don't mind it a bit and the trigger pull, though long, is very smooth.


I shot a .357 D.E, but it was the American made one, from when QC was poor and I wasn't impressed. I will have an original Israel made .50 soon, and it's just a big, loud, soft, push. I was giggling when I got to shoot it!! The .357 round is one of my favorites though, and I'm inclined to agree with Skeeter Skelton and Elmer Keith about that round, and the .44...


.40 Seems to be a bit mercurial, depending on the brand and loads. I love my Sig and my buddies Springfield XD and XDM in .40. The FNS and FNX aren't bad in .40 and neither is the M&P though they're both a bit flexy like a glock. The Glock (in .40) can kiss both sides of my a$$, (though the full-size .45 and 10mm are fantastic to shoot).


So would I, but I always wanted a Garand and so did Dad. So, when I was still single and had money to spend on what I wanted, I bought a brand new Springfield. The design meant the same to me regardless of original or new, I wanted a shooter, and the new ones were the same price as retail used ones (aside from the CMP guns). The twing after the eighth round still makes me happy!!

The recoil isnt bad at all. It's my favorite hunting rifle.

They are not accurate enough..

If it’s not MOA accurate...

My shooter instinct, gets all twitchy..

My 1911 open gun shoots sub 8" at 100yrds freehand is that not accurate enough?

Now it's Muddy if the crops aren't out now it will have to freeze hard to finish.

Good morning!
Waiting for daylight to see if there is any wind damage from last night. We were supposedly dead center of the severe weather track last night.

I dont know how much wind we had here early this morning but it was getting pretty real! Supposedly got 3-4+ inches in a few hours.

True..

At least ours “looked” normal in the truck..

Land prices have got to go down soon..

Don't hold your breath, it's not going to happen, ever.

Anthropomania??
WTF is that?

I too wonder, but I don't speak "Teacherman"...

My guess----an enthusiasm for humans. Anthro: humans. Mania: An excessively intense enthusiasm, interest, or desire

Closest thing i could find on the internet...

anthropomancy: divination from the entrails of a human being

anthropomorphic: ascribing human form or attributes to a thing or a being not human, as to a deity. resembling the human form

Well, I walked the property and hardly a twig was on the ground. If anything fell of any size, it got washed down the ditch out back. It drains several hundred acres up from us. It's normally dry but can look like a boiling whitewater rapids in a heavy rain. The rain rolling off the shop roof last night looked like a big waterfall. I also interruped 6 deer traveling through while on my walk.

Morning everybody.

No...

I like MOA,
Not minute of pie plate..

I don’t like short barreled revolvers for the same reason...
they just don’t inspire me with confidence.

Looks like aurora took the big wind hit.

They all said the same thing in the late 70’s.

Many went belly up in the 80’s because they leveraged the over valued home farm to buy over valued acreage. When all of it deflated to a more reasonable level, coupled with high interest rates and low commodity prices, their balance sheet flipped upside down. They were forced to sell out.

It’s lining up again. Perfect storm on the horizon.

Everyone should watch one of the “free to choose” videos.
Google Milton Friedman, “how to stop inflation”

Then listen closely to the group discussion at the end of it.
It was filmed in the late 70’s and there were some very sharp bankers and economists having a great discourse and debate.
Listen closely to the German guy.
