You heard it here first Harry.

Obama will not be the next President of the United States if
successfully nominated.

And, if I were a betting man, he won't be the Nominee of the Democrats
either.

if I try hard, I can shoot even tighter groups.

Not with that little Sig you don't. Probably not even with a rifle or target
pistol. You are so full of ****e it's coming out of your ears.

Absolutely! the Ljungman is one of my favorite rifles and the 6.5 is
an all around sweet cartridge.

I've never shot one, but I've heard good things about it as a solid
all-purpose rifle.

My personal all-around bestest rifle is a older Winchester lever
action that was rechambered and re-barreled to .325 with iron sights.
Custom match ammo and that rifle is as accurate at a laser.

The 'longest' home run was no more than 650 feet, and that's being most
generous. It was probably less than 550 feet. That's less than 225 yds,
which ain't squat for one who can hit a decent drive. Hell, Lorena Ochoa,

Now Tim is speaking my language. :)

Think you could hit a golf ball in flight when it's hit with a
baseball bat? :)

But then again, that would depend on what stage of flight you're
talking about, Tom, after it gets whacked? or while its suspended in
front of you BEFORE it gets "whacked"?

Let's say any where along it's flight path.

I ask because I've seen it done - once by a guy with a .325 Winchester
match rifle and another time by the same guy with a .357 revolver.

I don't have the reflexes any more to even think about actually
accomplishing the feat, but back in the day, I wish I had thought of
trying it. :)

Guys that can do that kind of thing (And I know they're out there) are
way out of my league.

If America is at least partially over its racism, Obama will win. If
Obama were white, he'd win in a landslide, But because he ain't, it'll
be close. But Obama will win.

McCain has absolutely nothing to offer. You can tell that by the
"attack" campaign commercials he is running right now.

McCain needs a new slogan. How about:

"There is no hope." - John McCain.

Virginia, we'll have to stay up a little later.

You can tell how desperate McCain is by the sniping remarks and attack

This week, McCain had another skin cancer removed. I think it
reasonable, since he has had more than one bout with cancer, for him to
be examined by a nationally known oncologist who will release a report

There's a big difference between a baseball and a golf ball. Although,
I'd still bet on the club.

The loft of a golf club puts backspin on the ball which lowers the
pressure above the ball, and raises it below it. This tends to hold
the ball up and make it go farther. This is called the Magnus effect.
It works much better with a dimpled ball, which will go aboout twice
as far as a smooth one.

Yessir, I was. i dont' have a bolt Swede, but the Ljungman is an
amazing machine. When loading that first round into the chamber, it's
so fascinating watching all those parts sliding around. brilliant
design. then the Egyptiand decided to copy it and make the "HAKIM"
chambered in 30-06 and really kind of butchered the design IMHO.

But harry, i have a couple of 7.5x55 Swiss "Straight pulls" For
military arms, they are absolute works of art. Especially for their

Extreme accuracy, too!

Absolutely! the Ljungman is one of my favorite rifles and the 6.5 is
an all around sweet cartridge.
I've never shot one, but I've heard good things about it as a solid
all-purpose rifle.
My personal all-around bestest rifle is a older Winchester lever
action that was rechambered and re-barreled to .325 with iron sights.
Custom match ammo and that rifle is as accurate at a laser.
Are you referring to the semi-auto Ljungman? Not one of my favorites. I
prefer the old reliable bolt action swedish mauser for 6.5x55 rounds.- Hide quoted text -

Yessir, I was. i dont' have a bolt Swede, but the Ljungman is an
amazing machine. When loading that first round into the chamber, it's
so fascinating watching all those parts sliding around. brilliant
design. then the Egyptiand decided to copy it and make the "HAKIM"
chambered in 30-06 and really kind of butchered the design IMHO.

But harry, i have a couple of 7.5x55 Swiss "Straight pulls" For
military arms, they are absolute works of art. Especially for their
time period they are perfect specimens of Swiss machining.

Extreme accuracy, too!



If I were buying a rifle, I'd want one of the Swedish Mausers or, if I
were buying a new rifle, I'd buy one of the modern knock-off with
"Mauser action." In anything larger than .22LR, I prefer bolt action.

But I am really more into pistols. Here's a target from my day with a
semi-auto shooting .40S&W, 25 yards, offhand.

I shoot .22LR with a nice old Victor:

and also a Ruger, and I shoot competitively with this work of art:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...us/x-five1.jpg


It's a 9mm Sig Sauer X-5, wearing its everyday grips. It came with a
pair of beautiful wood grips, but I'm wary of scratching them, so I put
the black grips on it. 19-shot mag, one in the pipe = 20 rounds and
amazingly accurate.

Here's a foto from the Sig page of the X-5 wearing her Nill grips. It
has an adjustable trigger, but I haven't messed with that yet.

There's a big difference between a baseball and a golf ball. Although,
I'd still bet on the club.

The loft of a golf club puts backspin on the ball which lowers the
pressure above the ball, and raises it below it. This tends to hold
the ball up and make it go farther. This is called the Magnus effect.
It works much better with a dimpled ball, which will go aboout twice
as far as a smooth one.

Sure that not the "Mr. Magoo Effect?"
Always think of him when golf comes up.
Don't know why, just do.

Excellent choices. i agree. To me a 22 revolver or bolt action boring.
But one of the nicest pistols I've ever shot was my brothers Walther
PPK in .22. The top of the slide is V-shaped with a little dot on the
far end. No back sight. you eye lines through the V down the slide to
the dot. If I may candidly use the phrase, it's one io the most fun
"point 'n shoot" pistols I've had the pleasure of working with.


The PPKs have a long and colorful history, far beyond the "Bond" novels,
and make a great pocket gun if you like to pocket or conceal carry
semi-autos.

Did you know that the artichoke is actually a thistle?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artichoke

I didn't know that.
If you ever tasted one you would be surprised.
I hate atrichokes.

And golf.
Just cuz you can't hit a golf ball further with a baseball bat than I can
with a golf club. 8)



Oh yeah. Forgot about that.

As much as I like Tom, *this* bet he is gonna lose.

*That's* and interesting wager! How will the ball be delivered to the
bat? Tee-ball? The club will win. A pitch? Now you have a challenge!

The 'longest' home run was no more than 650 feet, and that's being most
generous. It was probably less than 550 feet. That's less than 225 yds,
which ain't squat for one who can hit a decent drive. Hell, Lorena Ochoa,
at about 130lbs, regularly pounds them beyond 280 yards.

The wager is a golf ball hit from a baseball bat and a club - not a
baseball.

No wonder you can't hit the green on a par 3. 650 feet = 216 yards, 550
feet = 183 yards.


John's right. Read his post again.

You're right. He'd still lose, but it would be interesting to watch.

I've never shot one, but I've heard good things about it as a solid

My personal all-around bestest rifle is a older Winchester lever

Custom match ammo and that rifle is as accurate at a laser.
Are you referring to the semi-auto Ljungman? Not one of my favorites.
I
prefer the old reliable bolt action swedish mauser for 6.5x55 rounds.-

Yessir, I was. i dont' have a bolt Swede, but the Ljungman is an
amazing machine. When loading that first round into the chamber, it's
so fascinating watching all those parts sliding around. brilliant
design. then the Egyptiand decided to copy it and make the "HAKIM"
chambered in 30-06 and really kind of butchered the design IMHO.
But harry, i have a couple of 7.5x55 Swiss "Straight pulls" *For
military arms, they are absolute works of art. Especially for their
time period they are perfect specimens of Swiss machining.
Extreme accuracy, too!
If I were buying a rifle, I'd want one of the Swedish Mausers or, if I
were buying a new rifle, I'd buy one of the modern knock-off with
"Mauser action." In anything larger than .22LR, I prefer bolt action..

But I am really more into pistols. Here's a target from my day with a
semi-auto shooting .40S&W, 25 yards, offhand.

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...us/40-0004.jpg

I shoot .22LR with a nice old Victor:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ous/victor.jpg

and also a Ruger, and I shoot competitively with this work of art:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...us/x-five1.jpg

It's a 9mm Sig Sauer X-5, wearing its everyday grips. It came with a
pair of beautiful wood grips, but I'm wary of scratching them, so I put
the black grips on it. 19-shot mag, one in the pipe = 20 rounds and
amazingly accurate.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -
Excellent choices. i agree. To me a 22 revolver or bolt action boring..
But one of the nicest pistols I've ever shot was my brothers Walther
PPK in .22. The top of the slide is V-shaped with a little dot on the
far end. No back sight. you eye lines through the V *down the slide to
the dot. If I may candidly use the phrase, it's one io the most fun
"point 'n shoot" pistols I've had the pleasure of working with.

The PPKs have a long and colorful history, far beyond the "Bond" novels,
and make a great pocket gun if you like to pocket or conceal carry
semi-autos.

Can I interrupt to tell you about my new guitar?

LOL, ;the funny thing is Harry will have no idea what you are talking about.- Hide quoted text -

But he'll act like he does!! Remember him trying to tell everyone here
that he played guitar? Then he made one of the dumbest statements
about playing that I've ever heard?!

Nah. He has this well concealed nickname, *butter fingers*. Not really
funny, but I couldn't resist.
