Subsonic rounds leave the barrel below the speed of sound and are in general hollow points, Yes I do use a suppressor for a variety of reasons. one being not to annoy the locals, another is that I find a suppressor actualy improves the flight path of the bullet, I seem to hit the target more times with a suppressor than without. ofcorse thats just me, maybe the weight of the suppressor just gives the barrel some extra weight that compliments my shooting style. Tom Aiello. the taxes here are 16%, as I live in a very small community the local gunstore has always been more expensive due to the low volume of trade I do try to support it as much as possible as it would be a pitty if it closed but hell doubling in price maybe it's time to pop over to Andorra where it's cheaper and tax free. Warpedskydiver. For casual plinking I use a (French) Unique XD 21 Bis with a run of the mill scope. For serious shooting such as pest control, Fox, Mink, Rabbits and Hares I use an Anschultz 525 with a Swarovski Z6 1-6x24 scope with Remington HV .22lr or RWS Dynamite Nobel subs, depending on the range and conditions. As a side note, I've tried the Winchester wildcat, the CZ Farmer and the 10/22 Ruger, but my money goes on the Anschultz. I am not familiar with the XD 21 Bis I will have to look it up. The Anshutz is tops, but here the money needed to acquire one is just plain obscene. The 10/22 is not accurate to start with, but it can be made better pretty easily. A trigger job, new heavy bbl, and muzzle brake or suppressor and it is pretty good. You can do a bolt raidus job on it with a belt sander, then stone it for a mirror finish. The recoil buffer is a piece of 40 duromoeter polyurethane 0.25"x1.00" The older remington model 41 series bolt guns were great, we used to see them at estate sales for under $50, with a scope mount they are unbelievable tack drivers. But most of them have been scooped up due to certain internet sites telling everyone about them as a bargain. The BRNO is top notch as well, but hard to find here. The integrally suppressed BRNO was the rifle a friend of mine was using in Norway to hunt geese. He would shoot the lookout and then continue down the line until he got all the geese needed for the freezer.

In quality ammunition they are more accurate. The reason is they do not go through the transonic regime near the end of max usable range. Plus they are not as loud

When I have time I can make a mistake by over thinking it. When I react I a dead on... Go figure. The brain is a wonderful computer, if you let it just do it's job and quit arguing with what it tells you.

Horses are pretty damned smart 1250lbs. actually, and he is very fit. My daughters horse might be smarter than a few posters in SC. At least he knows the difference between rain and someone peeing on his leg. -
Wiki is one of the last places I search. The only thing in wiki worth looking at is the citation sources if you need a lead on research.

You must have a pretty accurate 22lr. Is it a BRNO? CZ? Ruger?
-
That is only 55 ten round mags or the 50 rounder loaded 11 times. I think just shooting casually at home it is easy to go through quite a bit of 22lr. It is great practice for larger calibers, 22lr @100yds or less is like shooting .223 at 400yds or less. The ballistic drop is nice that it mimic's the larger rifle at greater range. I think I need a new bbl though, the one i am using has been on that rifle since 1972 It might have a few rounds through it by now. I can get a green mountain bbl for $85 and it is a heavy bbl. I can then add an anshutz style stock and modify it to my liking.

Damn I thought $32 per 550 subsonics was bad. I need to buy 10k 22lr soon before it gets out of hand. You can never have enough ammo. I can burn through 550 in a week without even trying.

Reporter Sabieri to be Freed from Prison in Iran

http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20090408/NEWS-US-IRAN-USA-JOURNALIST/ Finally... I agree that with the upcoming election Iran's ruling party will jail more reporters who might sway the population by telling the truth. -
What are you jealous of Max's "magic" leg?

Get well soon Jeanne. As we grow older our reflexes are not what they once were.

Her husband is one of the worst kinds of people on earth. Her intended to kill her and yet will receive only 7 yrs in prison. You can get a longer sentence for far less serious offenses.

Wisconsin court upholds GPS tracking by police
warpedskydiver replied to rushmc's topic in Speakers Corner
Gangs have been known to do this in order to track where the cops are so that they can conduct business without interruption. When millions are at stake they will spend some money to assure they are not caught. -
That has always been the problem, legislators only want to pass new laws instead of repealing stupid or unconstitutional ones. They would rather grandstand in front of cameras instead of actually doing any real work.

We have talked about this in the past and you hit the nail on the head. This course of destruction of the establishment and all that Pakistan has, education, rule of law, commerce, freedom, etc. is a dead end that will result in annihilation.

Hmmmmm I guess he did not read the rules

Wisconsin court upholds GPS tracking by police
warpedskydiver replied to rushmc's topic in Speakers Corner
They do not need a directional microphones, they can tap in with a few commands using the CALEA system, or whatever it is called now. Cell phones are actually the easiest to tap or use as a eavesdropping tool. -
Look it does not matter what the legislation says as long as you approve of the intent, those who favor this just want guns banned no matter how it gets done,

They already activate cell phones in order to hear conversations. -
Now you or I or many of the posters in this forum, plus anyone who would uphold the Constitution as the highest law in the land are now to be considered Terrorists. That list of determining factors would include a few Supreme Court Justices.
