I don't get the connection between that rifle you like and actor Matt
Dillon.

Oh, wait...you probably mean Matt Dillon, the lead fictional character
in Gunsmoke.

I thought the marshal wore a Fanner Fifty:

What is the appeal of those pseudo military semi-assault rifles in

Killing mice in the field?


You have established in virtually all subjects, issues, interests,
hobbies and personal possessions that *anything* that you don't agree
with, understand or personally own is not worth consideration by anyone
else on the planet.

You just like to troll and start arguments. I'd suggest there are much
better hobbies for 70 year olds to engage in.





You've reached the wrong conclusion...again.


Maybe in your mind, but that's certainly the way you come across in
your postings and comments.


Yep. You nailed it.

What? There aren't better hobbies for a 70 year old to engage in other
than trolling on a newsgroup and criticizing everyone else's interests?


I might take your comments a tad more seriously if you also aimed them
at others here as you do at me.


Sorry Harry. I've been a participate of this newsgroup for a long
time. I know what came first, the chicken or the egg.


His rebuttal is something you would hear on a playground.

So what? .22LR is half the price or less than of .223, and you can get

1000 bb's for six bucks or so. There's almost always something cheaper.
You should be using that extra cash to pay your taxes and creditors instead of buying expensive ammo.
True.

If you want loud bangs, and lots of them, them military caliber is needed
if you want to have enough money to pay your taxes.

All the non subsonic firearms rounds I've heard to date are loud enough
for me.

You can get an adapter that will let you shoot .22rf in your .223


That's pretty cool.

I've found that with careful mail order shopping, I can find a fairly
wide variety of ammo without a lot of trouble. Also, we have a couple of
tackle and gun shops around here that seem to have a smaller but decent
variety of ammo available at close to the mail order prices. My good
deed last week was talking a friend into buying his ammo at one of these
shops, instead of buying it at Wal-Mart. Friend says the local stores
are less expensive than Wal-Mart and have more stock and a lot more
variety on the shelves.

*If it hurts Wal-Mart, it's good for America*

I also see adapters that let you shoot .32acp in your 7.62/30 cal
rifle but there is not much financial reason to do so.

I just went cheap to start with when I bought my .22rf machine gun.
(Ruger 10-22)
It was also a great investment
I have two 10-22's. My original and a "Distributor Exclusive" that is
stainless with a laminated wood stock. I also bought a Charger when
they discontinued them. It's an odd firearm but fun to shoot. It's a
cut-down 10-22 with a nice stock and a factory bipod that uses the same
magazines as the carbine. I put a Leupold pistol scope on it and it's a
blast at the range. It's something I will keep forever and pass down.
