I hear you. It got so cold here last night that my banana trees and
bougainvillea wilted. Supposed to be 80 tomorrow, though.

I didn't even lost my coconuts and they are not as tough as bananas.
The bananas are fine too,
My recording thermometer said 36F.

We had a high of 42 today. it was kind of nice actually. no breeze and a lot of sun. It's gonna be back in the teens and low 20's this coming week.

Couldn't believe the temp this AM - at 7:30 it was over the freezing mark.

It's 65 and sunny here in SWFL with a high of 80 forecasted. I'm
going out for a spin in the Searay later on when it starts to warm up.

How's the Mosin Nagant shooting going?

I've received the sniper version. Haven't shot it yet. At least I can see the reticle
in the scope and the target very clearly. Now I need to figure out, for a 25yard
target, where the crosshairs should be aimed to zero the gun for a 100 yard target.
Will give that a shot Monday.

I've given up on it for the time being. It's not a particularly fun
gun to shoot, at least not for me. Meanwhile I've been given a loaner
M-1 Garand in nice condition. It feels very similar to an M-14 which
I have always liked. Ammo is much more expensive than the Mosin
however.

Maybe if you were in Russia, you could buy US Army surplus ammo at a greatly reduced
price!

There's an M1 Garand for sale at the shooting range. Beautiful. Looks like it just
came out of the box. But, $1650 is a bit too steep for me.

I'd probably do better with the Ruger range rifle, like YKW.

It is the reason why I went for the M1A over a cheaper M1. 7.62x51 is
commodity ammo, 30-06 is almost a boutique caliber. There is lots of
hunting ammo around at about a buck a shot but not much surplus.


What are you shooting with those heavy caliber rifles? Balloons? Five
liter soda bottles? Armor plate? Alligators?

Probably the same things you shoot with your 357's

What do you need an assault rifle for?
We have heard about it endlessly here.


Why, I need my AR to shoot steel targets and 2 liter sodapop bottles at
100-200 yards and more, with relatively inexpensive brass ammo at .26 to
..30 a round, usually.

Maybe some of us want to reach out a little farther.


Doubtful.

Thanks, I needed another reason not to buy that damn M1.
