I must have missed it. What are you studying in gradschool?
Yep, shootmoot should be a great educational experience! ;-)
I am working on a systems engineering masters which is what I do for a living.
well, time to go take a test. Later everyone!
I'm off to catch a bus! See you later.
Twisted his ankle playing basketball. It was so blown-out looking I was sure it was broken. We we to the ER Monday and the said it wasn't broken (PTL) but that it was pretty badly sprained. Put him in a brace, gave him crutches, no pressure for two days. Today he can start applying pressure.
He plays basketball several times a week with the guys he works with. They used to play against just whoever happened to be at the park..and Steve kept coming home bloody...I mean, totally beat-up looking...blood all over his shirt. Come to find out that he was playing against gang members! They were coming down on him with their elbows and kneeing him, purposefully injuring him and he just thought that's how it went. He's so kind-hearted that he can't imagine that someone out there would hurt him just because.
I was pretty unhappy, to say the least.
I told him "If they don't have a job, don't play against them." and he agreed. He hasn't been hurt since, except for this sprained ankle, which was no one else's fault.
That's what my old wife tells me...er, I mean that's the old wive's tale...
it's finally dry here...
good luck!

to remove this...

We should tell her you said that...
But you have to know which "that" has to come out!
And get the skin offa the thing.
And I'm happy to cook the meat, but I'd rather avoid THAT stage of things...

This place needs more pin-ups.
"Good morning and merry moot!" says Merry.
Some guys were telling me on another thread that the Marines sometimes use a rifle based on the Remington 700 for snipers...if so, I wonder what caliber choices are favored.
Speaking of deer hunting.
most USMC sniper rifles are Rem 700s... and most are chambered for .308... you will find some .300 WinMag for "special occaisions"...
I know the gurus at Quantico have been workin' on a 6.5 x.308... proving to be lethal in an AR-15 configuration... don't know if they are using it in the bolt guns...
as long as I'm here...
mine?...
