Well, some guys don't want to ruin their manicure.  ;)
Raises hand. ;D

I have an Uplula loader. I can load 90 rounds in my 9mm in about 3 minutes.

Call me Sally if you must.  ;D

His name is Simo Haya, nicknamed "White Death" by the Soviets.  He used an UNscoped mosin nagant rifle.




Yep.

Hayha claims that a majority of his 505 kills were without glass at over 400 yards.

And the guy that shot him in the face... he picked his rifle up and killed him.

I just picked up a MN a little over a week ago.

Don't know why, but I've always had a thing for them.

Just ordered a mag loader

$32 shipped.  I didn't think that was too bad.

Besides, there will be a cost savings from having my nails done less often ;D

I might as well ask you all about my scope that's wacked. . .

I have a 6x Bushnell sportsman scope on my .22 Marlin bolt rifle.  I bought it for like $40 at a gun show 15 years ago at least.

It's always been good, and the gun has been pretty accurate with it.

Recently I noticed that I had trouble focusing on the target and the cross hairs at the same time.  The horizontal cross hair is out of focus (the vertical one is fine)

At first I thought it was me needing to get my eyes looked at (its been a while and I'm sure they'll want me to start wearing glasses for distance) but my dad gave it a look and he confirmed it to be off.

Bushnell wants me to send this thing in for repair at unknown cost.  Should I bother or just buy something else?

I'd just pick up a new one.

I bought a BSA scope for my 22 for cheap off Midway.

Im looking there now. . .

why are centerfire optics more than rimfire?  Shock resistance?

Looks like I can get something nice for under a hundred bucks.

[thumbsup]

I think that's it.

There are several nice ones for under a hundred.

It is only a 22 though, and that BSA scope for 20 bucks works just fine.

Yep.

Looking at this guy  ---> http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=614092
If it's a bolt action you may have trouble removing the bolt.

When I bought my 22 it has a scope on it and I bought the small BSA specifically to remedy the problem of not being able to remove the bolt.

Higher rings would solve that, but IMO 22's look stupid with a giant scope. You're only shooting 100'. :P
