ATI HD4870, Anyone who is into computers, knows why lol

Hey TheAngryPostman, where did you get that mossin from? it's a great WWII weapon

[The Conquistador]

Got it at a local gunstore. It only cost $79.00! I should have kept rummaging through the store though, because they had a Mosin-Nagant sniper with the PU scope, scope mounts and turned down bolt for $150.00. I missed out on that sniper one because I was in a rush.

Gee, Jen, if you put you vette up on blocks already aren't you worried that there will be a whole bunch of bored Jersey cops? They won't have a hot girl in a hot car to pull over for the next several months. :D

True but here in NJ the leaves are starting to turn and autum is in the air and the temp is droping so it's time to put the Vette up till spring, Now if i lived in SO CAL like it says you do then i'd be able to drive the Vette year round but sorry your states exhust laws are way to strict for me and i'd have to deturn my Vette

Yeah, Cali blows. Anything that can be considered "fun" is regulated. Can't wait to get out of here.

Snow is not really a problem here when driving trucks. Most people, around here, that have a two wheel drive truck put sandbags and patio stones on each side of the wheel well. It works quite well for providing traction. We also don't get that much snow accumulation here. It just comes early and stays around a long time.

I won't be getting a big truck any time soon. My main interest lies in working on anything mechanical, from small chainsaws up to the biggest piece of equipment I can get hold of. I will admit though that the electronics systems on modern vehicles are beyond my capabilities.

Curses woman! How is your rifle? Can you do this with yours? It is a world record that was set with a Lee-Enfield.

The current world record for aimed bolt-action fire was set in 1914 by a musketry instructor in the British Army ? Sergeant Instructor Snoxall ? who placed 38 rounds into a 12" target at 300 yards (270 m) in one minute

A lady with a gun is a sexy sight!

I'm not as fast as that, but If I take my time I can get a better grouping: I can put 5 rounds in an 8cm target at 200 metres in 30 seconds.

Rachel, I can't be certain but I think it is the distance of the shots that is the record not just the amount of shots fired.

Not that this would be the first time if I am wrong.

It is a record taking into consideration the caliber(.303 which is almost like a British 30-06), distance of the target(300m), size of the target(12 inches), and the amount of rounds put into that target in 1 minute(38 rounds). It is hard to hit such a small target at that distance with iron sights and a rack grade weapon.

The Lee-Enfield is known for it's quick cycling; in WWI, the Germans thought that they were taking machine gun fire when in fact it was volley fire done by a bunch of guys with Lee-Enfields!

Is it a break action?

[Rachel]

My old gun is a bolt action single shot. Had it since I was 6. When I say 4 shots it's because that is usually the standard for single shot actions. You hold the extra rounds between your fingers holding the forearm.so 1 in the chamber and 3 more between your fingers. By the way... we were shooting at claybirds 4 inch target at 100 yards. 4 shots 4 hits in 10 seconds with a single shot bolt rifle. And no spring loaded bolt assist like an Enfield. I used to have one of those.
