(4,743 posts)I know we've been over this before, but you probably engage with enough posters to have forgotten me, so, fasten your seatbelts, tray tables and seatbacks up and locked..
My safes, currently in storage in an area with no $150-300 per-gun license fees (i.e. not NYC), have at last count thirty-eight firearms, out of which a whacking five are semi, and one is actually my dad's in my custody. Now, and I say this purely to encourage you to comment on what apparently sexually excites me, (hi jury! I can afford a hide, but c'mon.) I take far more mechanical pleasure in closing a well-oiled, well-machined bolt-action rifle than i ever will in cycling the tawdry plastic handle on my twenty-pound "assault rifle"...that's even more useless than my Remington 700s for anything other than stand hunting. Funny thing that, both of my 700s are much closer to "mil-spec" than my Evil Black Rifle, but explaining why would probably have less than zero interest to you - since a subtle, well-dressed, accurate, single shot rifle just can't enflame the violent humors like a cutsey little AR. (FWIW I think the "man card" marketing is both idiotic, definitely appealing to fat, tiny-dicked men, and also contradictory. A .223 is a wussy little round, touch off a .338 Ultra, prone, in a bolt with no brake and then we can talk about "man cards".)
Also, the Ruger Blackhawk wheelgun with modern loads is SO the best handgun ever made,
