Tales from the creedmoor aisle

[hogpatrol]

The News ran a story about some radio stations were banning “Baby, it’s cold outside” because it promotes inappropriate sexual advances. What’s next?
“He’s looking at me!”
But I digress. The Swedes got it right with the 6.5x55. Pre-Creedmoe. On that subject, can I use high rings to rotate my scope 90 degrees so I can shoot my Creedmoe sideways?

I've seen more than one of those in my lifetime. You overhear "My windage knob is making my elevation change". DUH.

Words that are no longer politically correct at Boing are

There's more

---- a bunch of so called political correct ----.

I hardly recognize "my" country any more with all this PC bull$hit. Things we used to say or do in the 60's or 70's now will get you thrown in jail! My wife is always telling me "you can't say THAT anymore!"

And just think, in another 30 years all these clueless snowflakes will actually be in charge of running the country! Glad I'll be gone by then.

Forever grateful sir.
If the Guamainian people just had 6five creedmoors.

The Guamainian's are actually called Chamorro.

In Creedmoor speak, they won't do it today, they'll do it Chamorro.

I didn't think but a few would know what a Chamorro was.

If one of my sons had not been stationed on Guam, I sure would not have ever known. They are/were a very resilient people. The one thing he really enjoyed there was the world-class scuba diving.

Way better than Hawaii in case anyone ever is trying to decide between the two.

Very loving and giving all of which they share through food.

You can buy a CM rifle off the rack at Cabela's, grab a box of target ammo, throw a hundred buck scope on it and go shoot an inch or less at a hundred yards off of a Caldwell lead sled. Instant gratification, that's what it's all about in today's world. Along with ballisticians and marketing gurus, I bet Hornady hired psychologists. Can't fault them for that. They're in business to make money.

Those other two cartridges? They require work, persistence, patience and dedication. For the majority of Creedmoor shooters it relieves them of all that.

Off topic. Listen in on the crossbow aisle, 80 yard shots with a 400 fps Xbow, nothing to it.

I just wanna know where you get your emojis!

Good grief, I'd be making a run for the Gaviscon, GasX and Pepto. followed up with a dose of Imodium

are you telling us you are somewhat intolerant? haha.

i didnt have to aim high

despite news articles relating to socom, this is one reason the cm will never be adopted across all the services... air force in particular.

("aim high" of course being the USAF motto, for those that have not yet had their morning coffee...)

Until NATO adopts it, it will forever be condsidered a newbie cartridge.
