I would have to say that they screwed up on that one. Barrett Firearms of Tennessee has the M82A1 50 semi auto. They should have supported the home team. I will add that they don't sell to law enforcement in states that don't allow civilians to own 50's. These are good old boy trying to protect out rights. They have huge government contracts and are supplying our troops over in sandville

I think I saw the internet videos of that rifle in action...kinda blew the bad-guys right outta their nests...I mean like blew 'em fifty yards or so? Oh yeah!

I have a video(on favorites), of shooting Tali's in the mtn.s of afghanistan with a big 50. If you have a stomach, and despise the r.agheads...THIS is a must see!

If you can tell me how to link it I will.

Reminds me of shooting prairie-dogs with my 223...40grainers at 3850fps or the 22-250 with 45ers at 4000

Model 88 is that the old lever that had an automatic sister? If so I would almost give my left nut, for one of those in 284. My dad had the auto in 284 but got rid of it, I believe it didn't always function correct.......and he still made money on it.

But the lever is an eternally sought after classic! That any man would be lucky to own.

S&W airlite 357 hammerless snubby.
Small. Simple. Point and click. Goes bang!
Not good for anything over 10', but hey, it's light. Load it and double the weight.

No, Lt not a pro carpenter, although since I've retired I've kept pretty busy fixing up derelict houses. It's just a CB handle my dad used years ago, he had a huge hammer collection. I thought maybe Lt was from Viet Nam, I haven't heard it used since then. I guess it stands to reason that GI's brought it home and the term stuck in some organisations.

Thanks for the welcome, I really like the hometown Wyoming aspect of this site, and there's a wealth of knowledge to be had on the other parts of the site.

ANyone catch that recent footage from Afghanistan where the guys are shooting with their .50 semiautos? that was on CNN! Hey, people, there are folks DYING at the other end of that shot. That doesnt break my heart but I was surprised to see the blondie smiling and joking over it.

My dad had a winchester 100 in .308. It got recalled for some reason or another. I am not really a gun nut, but I love to hunt. carry whatever is appropriate for whatever is in season.

Doggbiter...That's the one .I bought it in 1972 I believe and I bought it with an extra clip which guys tell me is almost as valuable as the gun.
I have it in 308 cal. and have a Leuopold 3x9 on it.I have killed over 30 deer with it and just love the way that it handles.
One of the guys that used to hunt with us had it in 284 but he is no longer hunting with us. I see them in gun shows a lot . My buddies girl friend picked one up for his birthday. She paid almost a thousand for it I believe.

Good point about the "laughing blondie". Thing is, this is war and I'm glad our guys have the technology to reach out and touch the tali's from a distance. But the mindset should be the frigid and skilled code of the military sniper, "One shot, one kill". As a story goes, a Marine sniper was being interviewed by that very news agency and the lady asked him, "What do you feel when you touch off and shoot a Tali?" He thought for a moment and then replied, "Recoil."

Should be simply a clinical, "Now he won't kill any of our boys or murder any civilians." Personally, being the Father of a career-Marine Gunny, I'll be relieved when our kids come home from sandville. But reducing what is really justifiable homicide to its lowest common denominator, one-on-one confrontation anytime, anywhere...one man pointing a firearm at another with ..."intent to injure or cause great bodily harm..." Every man must decide for himself what he will do in that deadly force encounter. Same is true in war. The options are precious few and none are actually palatable. Just one ole guy's opinion and I'm sure there are those who see it another way. War and law enforcement are a vanishing memory in the rearview mirror of my life; my guns are now for hunting.

my favorite rifle would have to be my .270 winchester. i have killed alot of animals with it but this would have to be the best so far.

Mr.Seaguar · « **Reply #82 on:** Jan 25, 2007, 04:31 PM »

I applied for a elk tag for net year, I cant wait. I have a 270 Rem700 SPS. ALso a T/C Omega but I plan on using the .270.

I have a pre 64 win model 70 30-06 featherweight. I love that rifle. My second favorite is my wildcat 6mm-06 built on a remington 1917 action with a Warner Varminter stock and a 6-24 Sightron scope. Excellent varmint rifle.

WOW ex-LT this favorite rifle thing has really gone well. I love to archery hunt, but I have taken a good number of critters with a rifle, About 25 years ago I was looking for a new hunting rifle I wanted either a 06 or 270 my father in-law had a gun dealers license and was at a Gun show picked up five 270 whtby mag.'s ask me if I would take one at 350 greenbacks back then that was allot of money! when I got it from him I saw all that fancy and high gloss. I though this is a pretty fancy walking stick. So I was going Wyoming sheep hunting and I had a guy sand all that high gloss off and put on a nice dull satin finnish.
About the last five years when I don't get whatever I am hunting with a bow. I love to take my favorite rifle! lever action model 30-30 iron sites. Here is a couple of animals I got with it.

Big-Ice.......WOW nice critters.......D@mn nice 8)

My first deer rifle was a 30-30, at age 10.......first couple years missed several MO. whitey's with it, but man could I sling the lead

My third season....I started shooting that thing-got 4 that year and the next fall to

ex-LT........I be working in your countryside

We caught a job on top of Beaver-Rim....for god's sake...

Been seeing wild horses, that's pretty cool........and lot's of "milk opal"
I'm a rock-hunter, but I can't see why any engines would have ever camped at beaver rim

Yes I am RIG-PIG......if you go for a drive, we the only derrick on the rim

Swing by, or maybe come out and steal the battry's off the rig some night

LOL

Good lord I hate Beaver-Rim

Well this started off as pistol thing! So I would have to say, my Glock 10mm. I like the light weight and easy handling. Just point and pull the trigger. My favorite shotgun is my Citori 12 ga. It usually kills all green!!

Favorite rifle would be a toss up betwwen Knight .54 cal muzzleloader or 300 win mag???

Favorite other weapon, High Country Bow. It gets-r-done too!!
