Sorry for your loss Dan. Prayers for the family.

I am a annual member for 25+ years and thinking about making the jump to lifetime. They are relentless with mailings asking for $$$, but, no phone calls. I send my designated amount each year and sometimes more if important legislation is looming. They should stick to gun right ONLY and stay out of other issues.

Would I be partial if I voted for my son #1? #3 gets my vote;). Heck of a buck there son.

LOL. Hey, I have been in the Hill Country when it was 5 degrees getting up to hunt free range Axis and hogs. That is more than enough for ice. But by 9 am it is 60degrees. My friend from Harper shivers his timbers off when he comes up to NY to hunt with me. So I understand if you think it is a bit cold up here .

Come on Ken...Have you never been ice fishing?

Sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family and you.

How sad...Sending up prayers.

Aaaaa...I was looking for the handbook on this sort of thing. I guess now I will understand my wife...NOT!:clown:

This cold snowy weather is getting old.

Billions of Chickens(wings) died for our eating enjoyment. I would have it no other way We ate wings, mozzarella sticks and small slider type burgers. I did baby steps to the bathroom at work about 10am.

Joe...How many laws of this magnitude do you know of, that have been changed? ZERO. The Gov appoints Judges that will rule and doesn't even need the public input when laws like this were made. Look at how this act was passed. Look at how long it is dragging on and look at the tid bits of change that came along with recent rulings. LEO's are exempted and now you can have a muzzle break. Whoop de dang doo. Don't get me wrong...I would love for the law to change. But if history has taught us anything...They never go back on laws like this. NYS is blue as blue can be as far as politicians go. Sad truth...down state makes decisions for the rest of the state. Something very wrong with that. I have written my letters and gone to many protests in NYS even sent $ to the NRA-ILA to do my share. But yes...I do not think it will change in any great form. JMHO.

MY son Joe picked up a Mossberg MVP in 5.56. It is a bolt gun that takes standard AR mags. Since it is chamberd for 5,56, it will also shoot .223. Last week Joe and I put the gun through it paces and broke it in. Breaking in a new barrel is a PITA. I used Montana bore solvent for the barrel seasoning. All said and done. We had this rifle shooting quarter sized groups at 100 yds. The rifle was topped with Warne Medium rings and a Redfield Revolution in 3x9x40. The ammo it seemed to like the most was the 50gr V Max. It shot the 55gr FMJ fine also. Some of the negatives about this rifle is...The bolt doesn't always chamber a round. We thought we were short stroking the bolt. But that wasn't the case. The magazine had a lot to do with the feeding issues. There is also what many call magazine slop. It does not lock up like you would think a mag should. Most likely the cause of the feeding problems. We used a 10rd P-Mag and replaced the factory mag. It locked up better in the mag well, but the occasional feeding issues still came up now and then. Overall, the rifle was accurate, recoil was nothing, fit and finish looked great, but there is too much plastic/polymer on the rifle in the action area. I don't like that. The barrel is fluted and the bolt has fluting also. Good shooter and excellet varmint gun.

Many of my Texas friends hunt hogs exclusively with the .223/5.56 round. With deadly results. It is cheap and readily availible...In Texas anyway. I have seen factory loads as high as a 75gr bullet in the Hornady TAP load. That caliber is fine with good accuracy.

Cool stuff Joe. That Tim Andrus is a heck of a guy for sure. Many say the same about Ralph and Vicki. They are very down to earth.

Hank Jr, Johnny Cash, Alan Jackson in my car CD...Andrea Bocelli too;)

Happy belated Birthday Muff...

What is the prince gonna do when the hard working tax paying citizens of this state flee? Where will they get their money from? I hate to say this...but the lunatics have taken control of the asylum. How many laws have been changed or reversed? The Safe act is here to stay. Make plans. Unless NY from the Catskills on up can secede...The down staters will control the state and the laws. The NYC mayor is on board with the opinion of the Prince. Lets be thankful that NYC state don't have an exit tax like NJ does. They have to pay 3% of the sale value after to the state after they sell their home and move out of the state. Use that saved money to buy ammo or land.

Very Good!

You nailed it John! Thats it! LMAO! I'm scarred. You aint the only one.

Merry CHRISTmas Lewis!

Merry CHRISTmas Luke!

Merry Christmas Mike. Hope all is well.

Merry CHRISTmas to you too John and to all of my Realtree family.

I bought myself a big deep frying pot and stove, green laser with mount, and some slippers. Wife will give it to me and will do my BEST to act surprised! Its mainly about the kids and the wife. I buy whatever I need.

We had over a foot of snow here and 15 degree temps last week. Today...it is 65deg outside and everything is melting! I'd like a white Christmas...But think its going to happen.
