When they said Guerrilla Warfare; I didn’t think they were being serious.
That’s one smart kid…
Agreed.
I’m gonna hazard a guess he’s changed his mind about a LEO career….
My purchasing is based on wants and needs. I want a lot of things related to shooting so I target the needs first. For buying another rifle, I look at my usage criteria.
1) Usage. Since service rifle shooting is my primary activity, this will influence my purchasing. Currently I am looking into a M1903 (preferably A3) Springfield and a M17 Enfield. For hunting, I have used my service rifles in the field but since this is a very infrequent activity I have learned to tolerate the minor inconveniences.
2) Ammunition availability (or at least reloading components). In this factor is why I am considering a M17 over the P14. While I do have .303 ammunition and reloading components, in the long-term .30-06 cases and .308 projectiles are more easily available. All I need to get is a set of .30-06 dies.
3) Replacement components. In service shooting, replacing barrels is sometimes a necessity. Replacing a .30-caliber barrel is much easier than replacing a .303-caliber barrel. .30 barrels are more commonly available from more suppliers.
4) To fix holes in my collection. I have representative examples of British, European, and Russian rifles. But I don’t have US rifles, and nor do I have a Lithgow SMLE (which is another hopeful addition).

I’ll just go ahead and file this under ‘B’: ‘B’ is an “bullshit”
That is exactly what everything they say now, have ever said in the past, and will ever say in the future boil down to.
No I won’t wear a diaper!

DG,
Thanks for the technical info. I’m sure that I’m not the only who was looking forward to your response. I first looked into back-bored barrels as I was researching pattern density out of 3 1/2″ 12 gauge loads from a Mossberg 835. As to the new Ruger, I just looked into some of the new-school Ruger Red Labels on gunbroker. The fit and finish between the reciever and the wood doesn’t look especially tight, which is probably necessary for Ruger to arrive at the price point. There were a few samples less than $1,000. It looks to be an excellent entry level O/U for clays and casual upland hunting. I wish I had more disposable income for trap and sporting clays. I’m looking forward to TTAG’s review.
Routine can be good sometimes, but too much familiarity breeds contempt and complacency. Additionally, if your concerns involve defensive use, having a set routine that never changes could lead to mistakes in a situation that doesn’t follow routine. On the other hand, consistency in your shooting positions, breathing, safety, reloads etc builds muscle memory. I suppose it depends on which part of the range trip. I try to do something different every time I go to the range. Semper Gummy!
