you left out Mountain Dew and Cherry Dr. Pepper in the drink category.

Does everyone require alcohol to get through life?

Depending on what kind of a day it has been,
I prefer either Mead, or Schnapps made from Strawberries....or once in a rare while, a Whiteways cider. Unfortunately none of the three are available in this country, so it has been a long drought.

If you're passing out beer, I'll take a DoubleBrown bitter beer, thank you very much. I've been trying to get the Oregon Liquor Control Board (which owns all the liquor stores in this bloody state) to import it for the last 19 years, with no success.

As the poll stands now:

Bolt finish
2 (25%)
Polished
0 (0%)
Dark
6 (75%)
Jeweled

I am amazed that Jeweled bolts are making such a strong showing.

I think the jewelled bolt, if done carefully, can be a very classy approach to metal finish.
I do not care for the typical factory treatment as seen on some Rems, Win., and Weatherby's. When carefully done it is a very nice touch. JMO.

No, but like a jeweled bolt it can make more interesting at times.

I drink diet pepsi, especially around firearms! you need 'other' on the drink selection.

I d say vodka because you can add it to anything with out it changing the flavor much.
But my drink of choice back when I did drink is 7&7.
Personally I dont like a flashy gun.

I couldn't select more than one drink option.

Pretty much, yes.

Those that don't usually frighten me!

If it contains ethyl alcohol it has a good start.A satisfactory taste is good and a warm feeling end result imparative no matter what the nomenclature. roger

It's Bourbon tonight boys

If a satin finish is so popular, makes you wonder why do so many guns come with a gloss finish

Yeh, it is too bad the poll rules require respondents to answer every question or else they can't vote.

Only one of the questions, the one on bolt finish was one I could honestly answer. I prefer blued bolts, which received no votes the last time I looked. I tried to vote that way, but the machine wouldn't accept just that one answer. I didn't want any of the booze listed, and like matt finishes on hunting stocks, and gloss finishes on match rifle stocks, so I couldn't say I preferred one of those either.

No big deal...just telling you why blued finish bolts didn't have at least one vote early on.

No bourbon for me, thanks. If I wanted the taste of burnt oak in my mouth, I think I could get it out in the little patch of woods here, at much less hangover risk.

My uncle who I liked a lot, died at age 29 from alcohol poisoning (a one night binge).

I was fairly young. I've never been drunk because of it. Dad doesn't drink either, for the same reason and wouldn't even buy me a beer on my 21st. "You can buy one but I will have no part in contributing". I respect him a great deal for that.

So I couldn't post a reply in the poll but I'll weigh in.

Satin finish and polished bolt for me.

I like the bolt body and handle blued and polish the extractor and extractor ring.

On the stock, satin finish.
