RE: There’s already been relief to the mountain, some airlifted off as well..... and the Kurds have retaken areas...

Where is the source for the above news? Last I heard, the Kurds were LOSING areas.

Works pretty well in a .270 Winchester, too.

I had a love affair with the 7X57MM but couldn’t find many left-handed actions for it. It came from so many nights reading reloading manuals.

Then, an old friend, long gone, asked me, what is the difference between .277 and .284?

Lots of .277 left-handed actions.

Still, the Mauser name is magical. Right there with Browning.

All my bolt action CF’s are Mauser military actions.

.22-250, 6.5X55, 7X57mm, .308, .30-06, 8mm

Some people say the Mauser mil action is too slow for a fast second shot.

I say don’t miss with the first shot.

Several years ago I thought about getting a .270 made up on a Mauser action, just never got around to it.

A fine collection you have.

I’ve flirted around with the ‘lesser’ calibers and have settled on the old ‘odd 6’. I’m no longer an active mammal hunter but still get a satisfying thump out of my M1 Springfield and Model 70 at the range.

Happy shooting or hunting. Or both.

Problem is that if ISIS feels threatened they will just move into town with the victims or other people. Get ready to see dead Iraqi citizens.

I'm no isolationist but I agree, where is the rest of the world?
Are they sitting on their ass waiting to jump our ass for helping,
or now waiting to jump our ass for not helping?

They cannot claim holier than thou while they do nothing
and it's their damn turn to police the world.


I'm also pissed off at Iraq for not defending themselves and waiting for others
to come save them. Stupid sheeple have been coddled to long by our presence. Let
them fight their own way out of the wet paper bag. Yes, wet, because there's
not that many ISIS, and those few thousand are killing tens of thousands. Bah!

U.S. troops will do as they are told. If Obama says these people are to be starved to death, they will starve to death because Dear Leader Barry I has commanded it. So let it be written; so let it be done. Dear Leader has spoken.

....”I’m also pissed off at Iraq for not defending themselves and waiting for others..to come save them. Stupid sheeple have been coddled to long by our presence.”......

Me too Max, Iraq Army cut and ran without a blink! Cowards and traitors to their own people, as well as their government.... Left all the military equipment as well. Which evidences they really have no intentions of fighting their own war.

ISIS are the very same beasts that are in Syria doing all that brutality everybody’s been grumbling about....When are people going to understand these people are killers who are intent on conquering and killing any in their way. They are out to do this throughout the world.
