Hunting - December 2007

I always seem to get loads of crap from these gun control freaks because I own 50 different guns. I am a hunter and I love to eat venison, rabbit, squirrels, pheasants, and ducks. I also like to go to the gun range for target practice. I keep my Smith & Wesson .44 magnum under my pillow at night, it's called protection against home invasion and I will use it. All of my guns are registered. I think that I have a constitutional right to bear arms and as many as I please. What do you all think, and how many of you are proud gun owners?

Winchester no longer makes the Winchoke. I've heard that Mossberg chokes will fit in place of a Winchoke. Are there any gunsmiths out there that could attest to this? I know I could get a Winchoke off of the internet but I'm not willing to pay the same price for shipping as I did for the product.

ILLINOIS: Cook County Considering Two Anti-Gun Proposals! There are currently two anti-gun ordinances taking aim at our Second Amendment rights in Cook County. First, the Safe Streets/Weapons Registration Ordinance requires the registration of all firearms and firearm owners in the county. As written, it is an outright gun ban and prohibits the transport of a firearm in your vehicle unless the firearm is "broken down in a nonfunctioning state." The other proposed ordinance would amend the county's "Deadly Weapon Dealers Ordinance" to completely ban all gun shows within the county, and prohibits federally licensed dealers from operating within 10 miles of another federally licensed dealer. There is currently no timetable set for when either will be taken up for consideration, so please contact the Cook County Board of Commissioners immediately and urge them to oppose these attacks on the Second Amendment.

I'm looking for a nice bolt-action. I went to Scheel's Sports last night and found a nice Stevens/Savage Arms .30-06 for around $350 and a couple smaller calibers for around the same price. All of them come with a package and all they really need is a final sight-in.

Is this a good deal? What should I consider for a first bolt-action and what kind of other informations?

Is it just the first shot taken from, say, a sniper rifle? And why is it supposedly so impressive to pull off a long range "cold bore" shot?

I have a nice CETME w/ a stainless receiver and (crappy) wide forearm stock set. Someone wants to trade me a FBI trade-in Sig 226 in 9mm and a Beretta 950 B S in .22 short for it. I really want the SIG, but I don't anything about the 950. What's it worth? Any good? Fair trade? How much does .22 short ammo cost?

Is it me, or does there seem to be a gremlin running around giving thumbs down to a lot of answers? I can see TDing the anti's answers, blatently wrong answers, spam, dumb answers (ie. Desert Eagle for CCW), and the like.

But it seems pretty normal to click a question and find every answer with at least a thumbs-down - and I mean good, accurate answers too. Is it out of spite, or what?

I'm all for making thumbs-down raters public. If you "star" a question, your name appears, I think the same should be done for TD's, if even for only the answerer to view. If you have the guts to rate it, you should have the guts to put your name to it.

I know I've never been messaged with the disagreement over an answer that got a TD. This IS supposed to be answers, so if I'm wrong I want to learn something new.

It doesn't bother me personally, but the blatent abuse is annoying. There's no reason to TD everyone's answer in a question.

Wondering if anyone else agrees?

Be Safe.

I'm looking for a 12 ga. autoloader. I mainly use 2 3/4" 7 1/2oz shells because i shoot clays and hunt dove and quail. I've been looking for a good autloader for under $900. I like the SX2/3 and the S&W 1020. But I dont know if the SX2/3 will cycle the 2 3/4. Please tell me if you can. Also, which would you prefer? Is there anything better in this price range that is all-purpose and isn't a Mossberg?

I heard a long time ago that it is illegal to cut notches in your bullets or otherwise deface them. Some reason about it makes them more effective and they Feds don't want that or something.

Is this a real law? Am I thinking of a similar law perhaps?

Personally I love it, my five year old and I trek through the forest every second Saturday (single father) with the hopes of just seeing a rabbit or grouse . We rarely get any thing but we have fun. I teach him about hunting , gun safety and out door survival. I know he's not really lisening but I have a blast. Any one else like to do things like that
