Just hate giving those real Savants a bad name.

Hey George,

Just noticed the unsightly extra glue you have by the sight. As proud owner of a fine rifle, I am sure that little blemish bothers you more than it bothers me. So here's what to do - take some rubbing compound and start a gentle rub. The rifle that is. If that doesn't work, move up to 0000 steel wool. Keep moving up grit until all the blue/ black is gone. That will fix 'er right up, u betcha.

The other thing you probably figured out by now is that vertical separation between your last group is, well, not what it should be. Being the perfectionist, I am sure you can do better. Get the dremel tool out and apply some light pressure on the roof of the left barrel. Not too much, as you can always surface more out. Have a light hand and watch that group tighten!

Please make sure to post the results. You will really like it.

Cheers Eh...

I think there is much merit to this idea. Want a HH Royal Double? Fill out adoption papers, receive manditory education and training and when passed pay the fees...

I recall that several years ago, one could not actually BUY a new Ferrari in certain models. I think it was in the late 1990s/early 2000s that the company got tired of people buying the vehicles, letting them sit in a garage, and then flipping them for a big profit a few years or even months later. So, Ferrari instituted a plan in which one could only LEASE. After it had been proven to the manufacturer that the car had actually been driven a minimum number of miles over a number of years...THEN the customer could actually buy it. If I recall correctly, these customers also had to show that they had a previous history with the vehicles or manufacturer and were "responsible owners". The same rules should perhaps apply to double rifles. Lease one, prove to the mfg. that you won't screw it up and will actually hunt with it...and then you get to own it.

I like Ferrari's idea. At a minimum a background check and basic knowledge tests.
Maybe DR manufacturers can sell "Shootaway Grade" doubles that do not require any background checks ect. If they take good care of a "Shootaway Grade" model for say a year they can upgrade to "Field Grade" and so on.

Is it time to send in a SEAL team to rescue the double? Get the Canadian PM on the phone and ask for permission to enter Canadian airspace.

John,

Bada-boom! Thank you! I'll be here all week!

Picture story......

No Ferrari for me-I would have liked if I was young and rich but it does not suit me now and I am not really into cars.I like good rifles and good hunting-aside from that I dont know what I like-I am lost.

That's too bad. I would love to see you walk into a Ferrari dealership, with a toolbox full of vice-grips and files, a half-full tube of Loctite jutting out of your shirt pocket, asking for a test drive.

"Security to the reception desk, please!"

The Coriolis effect only occurs in the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. It's one of the reason so many African countries have banned reloading.

This a commonly-held fallacy. Studies have proven the existence of a worm-hole in the space-time continuum, connecting the Southern Hemisphere with the bedrock beneath Quebec. It's one of the main reasons why there are so many vehement supporters of Quebec's separatist movement...they believe that once ties are severed with the rest of Canada, they will be sucked through the worm-hole and end up in Tahiti.

Explains a lot, doesn't it?

Quebec disappearing down a worm hole doesn't sound like a bad thing! Is it too much to ask for the GTA to go with it?

Did I post this in the political forum?

Medical dictionary.

"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the 1996 film. For the tool used to cut vegetation, see Kaiser blade.

Sling Blade is a 1996 American drama film set in rural Arkansas, written and directed by Billy Bob Thornton, who also stars in the lead role. It tells the story of a man with a developmental disability named Karl Childers who is released from a psychiatric hospital, where he has lived since killing his mother and her lover when he was 12 years old, and the friendship he develops with a young boy. In addition to Thornton, it stars Dwight Yoakam, J. T. Walsh, John Ritter, Lucas Black, Natalie Canerday, James Hampton, and Robert Duvall.
The movie was adapted by Thornton from his short film and previous screenplay, Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade. Sling Blade proved to be a sleeper hit, launching Thornton into stardom. It won the Academy Award for Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay, and Thornton was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role. The music for the soundtrack was provided by French Canadian artist/producer Daniel Lanois."

There is a "French Canadian Connection."


Yes, surestrike got it from my medical dictionary, but his pairing of it with a wrecked ferrari was comedic genius!

I think I was the first to post about the uncanny resemblance between shootawhey and Billy Bob Thornton's character in "Sling Blade."

Member Matt Moore gets credit for the brilliance of "shootawhey."
When it is good, it sticks.

I bet shootawhey has the entire collection of "Mighty Mouse" cartoons on VHS tape
and he watches them daily while rodding his DR with JB paste on a patch over a steel-bristle brush.

Shootaway did not make this a 10 page topic; posters such as yourself and me filled his post with unnecessary crap.

As such I am deleting my unrelated posts. I had my fun but this has gone to far.

I am about to go to the doc and have my BP checked as I have been feeling a bit strange.

Now having read this, I am not sure if my BP will be or if it has cheered me up!

Thanks for poasting this thread George.

I learn a lot form your posts. Most of these guys are just jealous of you. Ignore the fools.

Thanks ZombieKiller.It is nice to have a positive comment.

Yes, even when he shoots north to south.

If you want good people to be nice to you dont throw rocks at them.MANY,MANY here have thrown rocks and then hid away pretending to be the AR good mannered group.

There's a big difference between throwing rocks...and throwing them BACK.

Someone not responding to you for whatever reason or not agreeing with you on shooting matters is not to be taken as throwing rocks.on the other hand if you behave like a delinquint then that is throwing rocks.

This made me blink. I actually went back and read this whole thread, instead of just the bits'n'pieces I've glanced at. I thought that it would be entertaining to highlight a few of the comments made by you...the ones that indicate that you probably shouldn't be allowed near firearms, tools or Loctite. That turned out to be far too onerous a task...I didn't want to make a whole new pot of coffee to carry me through it. So instead, here is a sampling of just your wit...none of your stupid comments (okay, maybe just the very last one!), none of your shooting "wisdom"...just a taste of how you respond to, and interact with, your fellow shooters, many of whom were making efforts to assist you. Remember: this is all from JUST ONE THREAD!

quote:

You think that rifles shoot elsewhere off sticks compared to the bench.You are a moron.

quote:

So if we wait 1 minute compared to 5 minutes between shots, bullets strike elsewhere.You are a moron too.

quote:

Hey listen,you guys dont know anything about shooting rifles so fuck off.

quote:

You are a Master at losing.

But I was never a harrassing MF to anyone.

I stand by what I said.

What a load of crap.Oz,like I said to you before-you are and always will be a scope shooter.Remember not long ago you were hunting Africa with a scoped Steyr.Thats how much you know.

Actually stupid,a very sharp drill bit was used to easily drill this.The hole needs to be smoothed out but that does not require a genius to figure out.

I had to compensate for stupid people like you who send me sight inserts without a set screw.

BTW crap head, I will be shooting my Searcy...

Have you ever shot a double at 50yds?

You are wrong again.

Look at this you jerk.

I bet you never shot like that even in your dreams fakester Don. rotflmo

quote:

because they dont know as much as me

quote:

Again, for clarity: all of this bile, from JUST THIS ONE THREAD. It's an eye-opener, at least it was for me. I wasn't expecting it to be pretty, but this exceeds my most negative expectations. All joking aside, you are one serious asshole.

There is small comfort in the above, but yes, some comfort.
Karl "Sling Blade" Childers liked mustard on his biscuits.
shootawhey on a Searcy is like mustard on a biscuit.

Hey RIP,shove your plastic stocked CZ up your ass. and pretty,pretty,triple pretty please stay away from doubles. and that goes for your buddy Michael too!Too much bullshit in this world we dont need anymore.

"Too much bullshit we don't need in this world anymore." When will you be leaving us, Karl? (I'll refrain from comment on the construction of your sentence.)
