Good shootin' Tex! Looks like anything the size of a coffee cup 240 feet away is in real trouble!  ;D The .308 is serious medicine.
thanks! :)
i have an AR and appreciate its handiness, but the .308 gives a nice satisfying shove to the shoulder. if there wasn't a dearth of large rifle primers, i'd be working up loads for 168 and 175 grain bullets, but for now LC and WWB 147 grn will have to do. i think the polytech would be my shtf rifle. let's hope it never comes to that.

My son-in-law recently bought a compressed-air heavy duty staple (or is it a nail?) gun to install new Hardy Board siding on his house. He says that he loves it - although it does make it sound like his home has been turned into a shooting range.   ;)

I used an air powered one a few years ago to staple a caravan frame together, and staple the skins on. Worked like a champ. I like the electric staple gun for covering motorbike seats.

Now, where can I buy one of these?....

i guess it was sort of thoughtless to have a thread where our non-US (including calimassajersey) don't have much opportunity to participate.

These things can get addictive,

Mulchers are another one.  You end up pruning all sorts of things that do not need it just to feed the mulcher addiction.

Maybe now we can get yearly MMPI testing and CCW training to screen out the crazies. That'd be bad news for Trumps flock of alternate reality camp followers right there.  I'm sure the kids caught up in this psychotic episode had nothing to do with the instigators original grievance.

i used to live in middle tn and know people who knew people, knew as in they were there but now they're dead.. we need to figure out what to do about crazy people. it's really just a hobby for me, but if i thought it would help i'd cut up all of my guns. the 2nd amendment has a lot of wiggle room built in to it, but i'm starting to run out of tolerance and understanding. the way to prevent authoritarian government is the vote, not guns.
