No shit they came a long way, I guess the one my dad built me when I was a kid looked like some outer space thing back then, now it would look more sedate. It had a backpack tank, and braided steel hose to supply the compressed air. The stock was a hand carved chunk of maple, that started off as a 4x4 post 24" long I wish my older brother had not sold it on me. He did that with my schwinn fastback as well

AIR ARMS S410/400 MR1 TACTICAL THEOBEN RAPID 7 MK1 AND MARK 2 those are the two I prefer.

The Talon we got him merely needs the Condor bbl, in fact it really is a Condor with the Talon SS bbl. I knew he would want the higher velocity offered by the Condor, so we had it set up that way. Amazing what a few inches of bbl and higher pressure can achieve.

After the war it was a virtual scientist scavenger hunt, the Russians, French and Brits, as well as the USA grabbed as many as they could.

I love that stock, looks like a custom model 70 or something. The straight pistol grip and straight comb with high cheek rest is what I like. Rainbo and I may have to "test fire" our friends gift You know, just to make sure we get only one hole from ten rounds at 50yards The Talon SS had no scope that was extra, but luckily one of the principals of that company is "one of the boys" and our team mate arranged to ship a free 4-16x50mm AO EFR scope w/MilDOT including what looks like a set of Badger rings.

Hey you get to work!!! Was the bear larger than Frank?

You can only hope that statement is disinformation. You can bet your ass that Osama does not believe that.

WTF? for that to happen all of the public officials and policians would have to be on our side.

I like the bottom rifle alot, who makes that?

We can have suppressed Air rifles, but there are some factors involved such as whether or not the suppressor can be detached (able to be used on another weapon) The Airforce Airguns have a muzzle mounted over the bbl tube that strips the turbulence resulting in a suppressed rifle, just don't go stuffing baffles in it Of course if you get a Form 1 you can have a suppressor if the state you live in allows it. I have one in my closet, but I cannot use it, as it is a gift for a close friends retirement. The thing is pretty damned sweet, it has up to 1250fps on a 40grain .22cal pellet. It has a Lothar Walther bbl and it seems pretty nice, I think I will make a custom hardwood pistol grip for it, the OEM pistol grip is smallish. Of course if you turn it up that high don't expect the sonic crack to go away.

Since I've gotten into 1,000 yard shooting, I've gone back to my single stage press. The Dillon 550 progressive press just doesn't dispense the powder accurately enough. A difference of plus or minus two-tenths of a grain is huge at 1,000 yards. Hell, every tiny variable is magnified huge at that distance. This is especially true for extruded powders like IMR 4895, which have irregular shapes and lengths, and don't meter consistently well. Ball powders are better, but those aren't what are used at long distances, generally. I'm currently using Reloder-15 for my M-14 1,000 yard shooting, as well as my AR-15 (.223) 600-yard stage, and it's working well. For 100-yard shooting, this stuff doesn't matter much though. The Dillon 650 will pump out a lot of ammo, but if you want long-range precision, I recommend doing each step manually by hand, and weighing each powder charge. Thanks for the advice John, and I will keep it in mind. I have a friend with lots of experience in reloading, he has a single stage, maybe we can continue to load on his press for the most accurate stuff. I wanted to load via the 650 if I could get the results I wanted, maybe it will just get used for volume loading and thats all. I really could use it for 5.56, .308win and 9mm, I could use up alot of ammo in those calibers. As for .270win and 6.5mm Grendel, I would be happy using single stage as I won't be expending nearly as many rounds with those rifles. damn I miss the days where I could shoot until I got bored, now you need a truck full of money to do that. I would like to stay with 4895IMR for all the rifles I have as they all can use that powder. Currently I was getting reloads made in .270win using 4350IMR, really accurate too using 130grain BT in the Remington760, it shoots really tight groups.

But am I guessing right from your reply that you were instead trying to label the Taliban 'peace loving fanatics'??? Huh???? Yo no entiendo!???? Quote We have a winner!!!

The Germans would have probably made it work very well, and last a long time. So would the russians, I wonder if we are ever going to build another plane with the service life of a B-52?

Exactly, this building looks like a swastika, that bollard looks like a penis, that rock formation looks like a breast, that tunnel looks like my ex wife, etc. When will people stop being offended by things in their own imaginations?

Our Gov. Blowjobabitch, has said many times that a .50cal BMG is not needed and can be used for nothing but sniping and shooting down Jet Airliners. He probably thinks that a satellite could be shot out of orbit by one as well.

I can understand that one completely, as does Vortexring.

Hey Dan how the hell are ya?

Opium and Heroin, along with Slavery.

My eyes!!!! someone use some Alumahyde quick!!! Why all the shiny guns?

Are you drinking? Who said anything about women, I have no doubt that the perps that put the vest on that boy were full grown men, and ones that probably proclaim themseleves as religous, pious men. Geez lighten up.

Well it's easier to run the other more lucrative business from there. Where is Vinegar Joe when we need him? I bet Max knows who I am talking about. Just going to the hall and paying your respects got you choked up. Burma has hit the skids.

I have had friends do that ,and hunt hogs alone, with a pistol. BB was one tough motherfucker. RIP (cancer)

you SHOT it, and GAVE the meat AWAY????? I have nothing against hunting, but I live by the rule, if your gonna kill it, you better eat it..... Sounds to me like your just trophy hunting trophyhusband. I agree with your sentiment but the rule is waived when the animal has two legs and is walking upright.

Very true, but then again you might wind up with arms like Arnold afterwards.

Time for a sing along ye sea dogs. "The cabin boy slipped a glass right up his ass and circumsized the skipper" Reminds me to keep me back sides against ye old bulkhead.
