You can pretty much be rest assured it will the armies. I have been collecting guns since i was 13 and bought my first .410 shotgun. 50 years later I have over 60 weapons. If they show up at my door without a check for today's replacement value of the guns.....well...at my age...a Life Sentence....just doesn't mean that much anymore!
Actually, Elmer didn't just poke fun at Jack, he hated him and his .270. Elmer had a "grew up poor and poorly educated" small-man complex whereas Jack was a highly-educated egalitarian professor. So, Elmer hated Jack and all he stood for while Jack could care less for Elmer and his "big bore" opinions and that further fueled Elmer's dislike. No worse "put down" than simply ignoring someone...
You are welcome to come to Alberta....i have access to over 40,000 acres under lock and key Treeslug and a 160 acres of my own land that joins to it! And a cabin where you can work as much as you want!
Regardless of caliber or cartridge, about the time you get to 3mils (10moa) of elevation is when the firing solution moves beyond basic fundamentals and wind reading becomes critical for a hit.
skipglo: My first gun was a $29 .410 bolt action shotgun. It never fed the shells very well so it was mostly a single shot that held 3 additional rounds in the magazine. I had a nice collection of long guns and handguns until 1971 when my little brother decided that my guns would help him with his heroin habit. 27 rifle and shotguns and 7 pistols shot up his arm. I keep secret how many guns I have today, but it is not near what I had back in those days. I spent some time in British Columbia, Canada, mostly in Vancouver and that area back in '72. Loved the place. Having lost my guns once makes me ponder the question of what I will do if the government decides they do want my guns. Living in Texas, I kind of hope it is finally enough to get people to stand up and say no to such an idea. There are lots of folks here from California and New York, and they can give up their guns willingly, but true Texans are going to be a little tougher to convince to give up their guns.
That is an incredibly wonderful offer and I am not going to say that my health might keep me away, but I may be having knee surgery soon ( I am going to try to get through these cooler months because of the hog hunting) But I might take you up on an offer like that. I could probably swap you for some Texas hunting and some catch and release black bass fishing. Couldn't offer much in the way of big animals, but you could shoot hogs at a long-range and they are legal all year long.
Pipes, Sticks, Knifes, Forks, Cars, No Oil. What else? As far as large rifles and the newer Nosler type burn a lot of powder each load.
Sounds like a deal! I was in Houston a year ago my wife was on a week long course.... brought a rifle along but never could put the hog hunt together!
Amén brother!
Brother-in-law does have some big pigs, not huge, but a few wall hangers have been seen this year.
Let's keep in touch....i can Weld!
