Looking at the Browning Catalog, I have some thoughts.
First. The Micro Midas X-Bolt Rifle… Why is it not available in .223? You have the .308 family of short action cartridges and the .22-250… but why not a .223 and a .204 option? I think the .223 especially is an oversight. For bringing up young shooters, .223 is ideal. I know Browning’s reasons for only using the bigger rounds… I don’t need to hear them again… but they are wrong. Continue reading Looking at Browning
A big chunk of the shooting community seems to be in two camps. Hunting Guys and Tactical Guys and I’ve heard arguments between the two about who is better and all that nonsense. I know guys on both sides of that line in the sand.
One side buys long brown guns and fire rounds never used by the Military. They will also use pointy sticks and strings to bring down big game. These guys can load their guns backwards and then kill an Elk with it. They camo up and blend in with their surroundings like the Predator and will mimic their prey and get within spitting distance.
The other guys buy guns that are Black or Coyote Tan and they fire rounds by the bucket loads and practice shooting their Semi’s with speed and accuracy that is unprecedented in Military History. They will rip into a target like a hurricane, dominate a situation, and counter any threat they come across. Both sides have strong points. Continue reading Hunting Guy or Tactical Guy.
I love horror movies… But lately I’ve found no good scary movies at all.
“Devil”? No. Come on, the Devil is really in an elevator? Stupid story to begin with, but at least that one had… Okay, I don’t know what that one had… Paranormal Activity… started out good… had potential.. then the ending totally ruined the whole movie. Paranormal Activity 2 was even worse… the super slow build up that lead to nothing but bitter disappointment.
I just watched “The Last Exorcism”. This flick was semi interesting… A fake preacher doing a fake exorcism that turns out to be real… at best, it got “interesting”… had some potential… and then the ending was the worst of the retarded cliche endings that made Paranormal Activity look brilliant.
Ewe Boll could have made better horror movies than these. These are “Pants On The Head” retarded. I want my Dollar Fifty back from the Red Box.
Where are the good new Horror movies? If this is what American Horror Film Makers are doing – they need to go back to Remaking Japanese Horror movies. Or just quit… and go away. Second thought, yes… do that. Go away…
I need a motorcycle. This isn’t a “want” anymore… I need one. Bad. I gotta have a bike.
I’m putting up 3 of my favorite, best shooting rifles, for sale or trade so I can get a bike.
1. A Remington 700 Stainless CDL .223 with a Nikon Monarch scope on it. Yes, this the new new one I just got.
2. The Savage model 12 with a Leupold VariX III in .22-250. Harris bi-pod. Serious accuracy and was my best Coyote Murder Weapon when I was hunting them. Use Hornady 55 grain V-Max loads and nothing is getting away from it.
3. This one shows how serious I am… Savage 10FCP topped with a Vortex Viper 6.5-20×50 Mil Dot scope and a Harris bi-pod.
2500 bucks for all three or for a decent cruiser style motorcycle 750cc’s or bigger. If you have a nicer motorcycle… I’ll throw in a couple more guns. Another reason, I have got to have a second vehicle. My truck is the only vehicle we have. The wife can drive it when she’s staying out in the country… but when I need to come into town, I need something more economical anyways… and I bike is impossible to beat for that. I gotta have one.
Crusader’s “Limited Edition Offering” Sterlings… Joe has all the parts and everything we need to do these builds. I’ll be going out to SLC this coming Wed so we can get these things rolling and done. I am so jazzed I can’t even sit still… This is like Christmas Eve coming… Building these guns is going to be a blast… but more so than that… One of them is mine!
I’ve had enough queries to insure that it is very likely that at some point in the future, we will make another run of Sterlings again. But not any time soon. Sorry. If you didn’t get one, and you really want one. I’m sure one of the guys that are getting one, might be willing to part with it, if the money is right. But already these have become an instant collectible gun.. so the offer will have to be – generous. Good luck with that.

We’ve got some more photos from the Oleg Volk / Crusader Weaponry photo shoot. Check them out here.
The lowly .22LR is the most common and popular of the rimfire category… and the stuff that comes out for it is pretty amazing. I find myself in modes where it’s almost like I consider a .22LR to be a “Kid’s Gun” or something. Honestly, I think since I got a .17HMR, I’ve only fired about a dozen rounds of .22LR.
But .22’s are not just for kids anywhere, not by a long shot. .22’s are getting serious. We’ve seen the .22 Colts and M&P 15-22, and of course the plethora of modification options for the Ruger 10/22… But what you are about to see here… These are just staggeringly cool on a whole new level.

I’m happy that North Dakota is having a good boom time with the oil rush. Their economy is roaring.
And ours here is withering. Because 3,000 jobs from here went directly there. Jobs shut down here and opened there directly because of policy from the Obama Administration. Because of the actions of Ken “The Loathsome Cowboy” Salazar specifically. A lot of Utah residents are working N.D. right now… I’ve talked to several guys just today that are working over there. Companies fly them back and forth. Making great money. Pumping their economy up like an balloon.
Utah Schools is looking at deep cuts. All the County Governments are looking at deep cuts. Utah is tightening its belt, big time. But North Dakota is booming. “Hey, Ken! Where are those Oil Leases people PAID FOR? Where’s the Money, Ken?” If you didn’t want people drilling there – then don’t put those areas up for lease! Just a thought. Friggen thief.
I’m not bitter against N.D. Not at all… good for them… but the way this shook out is outrageous.
