As far as I know, the snipers rifle's have always been bolt action,
w'exception of some scope fitted M1s and m14's

even rhough not a sniper, In ww2 I had an uncle that carried a scoped
Johnson rifle.

I've always wondered the validity of the thought that a bolt action
rifle is more acurate than a gas-operated. After all, when that bolt
even thinks of opening on an auto-loader, that bullet is already way
beyond the muzzle of the barrel.

Also there's a thought that the bolt actions were lighter, easier to
handle, and that they were easier to scope due to exjecting the spent
cartridge.

hmmmm, that's interesting, I'll have to look that one up.

If you want accuracy at distance, you want a good, heavy, bolt action
rifle. Didn't the military recently switch back to bolt-action rifles
for its snipers?

I find it odd that after JimH ****ed everyone (and I mean everyone)
off
here with his constant barrages, he then comes back and makes those
gullible enough to believe it, that he's changed for the better.
Except
for the fact that he still calls people childish names, and uses
petty
insults on those he doesn't like. It seems that I'm the only one who
remembers just how bad he got.

Sometimes it is best for the benefit of everyone to let bygones be
bygones
and move on.
The NG as a whole benefits and is much more enjoyable.

Eisboch
FWIW, no one has disagreed with bk's comments, we've agreed only that he
should cease making them.

You should remember that it works both ways.

Shall we then discuss your prior behavior here also John?

I have asked for a cease fire with you and you refused it. Exactly who
is the adult here?



If you two don't let this drop, I'm going to stop by your house and burn
all the wax off your boat and stop by Herring's house and bend his golf
clubs into pretzels. Remember, I know where both of you live.

Move on, dammit!

Even my political posts are more fun than this crap.


I have been trying to. ;-)


By insisting on calling me someone I'm not?????
By calling people childish names, and issuing petty insults????

Agreed. I'm about as far away from Harry on the political spectrum ad

But I know , or at least feel we could sit down at a dinner and have a

I like you gents, and hold you both in a higher regard.

I'm hoping not to be out of line, but don't you think you might settle

life is too short (at least it is for me) to see your continuing

C'mon guys.

I agree. I tried and asked that this thing between us stop. He
rejected the offer.

Oh well.


How did you try? By calling me Kevin, when you know I'm not him?

By petty insults?

We don't know that you are not Kevin. We know that you respond to
questions directed to Kevin so we conclude that you are Kevin.

And, no I don't want to take your silly $5000 challenge.

Um Bert, IF you had half a brain, you'd realize that I only respond to
replies that are DIRECTLY replies to ME, ie I post something, you
respond. Try it. If you don't respond to MY POSTS, you'd never get a
reply from me. Hell, that's pretty simple even for you, isn't it?

That's true for blow-back autos but gas-operated semi/autos (M1/M14)
bolts lock untill the round is out of the barrel so they work well as
sniper weapons. The quality of the individual weapon is really the
determining factor as long as the bolt stays locked until the round is
gone.

even know these KF'd idjits even existed, and that would be a good
thing.

Just as you sir are about to go into my dumpster. See 'ya!


Hehee.....Jim is Harry's little brother now. who'd have thought!

Bassy,
Egging Jim into a silly NG fight gets old don't you think?


Nope. Ever heard of the phrase "getting some of your own medicine"?

Unbearably hot is our number 1 motivation for going to the lake!

Why not buy one then? They are relatively inexpensive and quite easy to
install. We paid $340 for ours and purchased it over the net.

Well, I really haven't been pleased with what I see. I'd like to find
an OE which is next to impossible. But otherwise it seems like the
bimini's all look like an old buggy top.

style is one thing ,protection is another.

And next year I may have a different boat. one WITH a top.

Buggy top? You won't find any bimini stylish or non buggy top looking on a
small boat, even when professionally installed.........if you expect to be
able to stand underneath it. The look is diminished as the boat length is
increased.

Looks like a 25+ footer is in your future.....otherwise get used to the
'buggy top' look with biminis or continue to fry in the sun. ;-)

LOL, No Jim, thats the whole point. I'm not frying in the sun. and
won't get a buggy bimini thats why I'm not boating on a scalding hot
day with no cloud coverage.

a buggy top is 'ok" but not that necessary.

I am not 100% sure, but I think the rifles we used to guard the trash
dumpsters (dipstey-dumpsters)
in the Navy in the late 60's were old M-1s with the firing pin removed. We
used to exercises with the damn thing and it felt like it weighed 100lbs
after an hour or so.

The big old "market" unbrella I use would make you crazy huh?



Just about anything does right now.

one of the problems I have with a buggy top is wind resistance.

My Chris is heavy for the size boat that it is, and woth a meger 140 hp
3.0 loaded with wife daughter son and some grand kids, loaded cooler
etc. plaining would be a trip to say the least.

or thats some of my thoughts

Twice, once in the Delaware and once in the Chesapeake. All the rain we
had late spring and early summer kind of cut into my weekends.

A few times, but with a 7 week driving trip to Alaska and now getting the
house cleaned up for Daughters wedding in a couple of weeks, not much time.
Figuring Wed's, taking the boat for a test run, so when the friends are
here, we can do a boating day.

Dempster Dumpsters. When I was a youth, one evening at my fathers machine
shop, the original Dempster Dumpster on a truck that they used for demo's
came in for some work. Everybody thought is was a good concept.
Unfortunately, no one bought stock in the company.
