I’m all for reasonable upgrades, but before we just go printing more money and adding to the already unsustainable deficit, can we audit existing programs? This could get wildly unpopular in a flash.

Nice to see a 308 getting the job done. I’ve known a few F class and Hi power guys through the years. Tough discipline and no room for the Creedmoors.

Putting in place a licensing scheme for your God-given rights is just wrong on so many levels.

News reports (ABC) say "communication issues," I wonder who cut that cable.....

The manufacturers are always looking for the next 'big thing' to promote what will boost sales and make them money. Hollow points fall into that category. People have tried various forms of hollow point all the way back to the days of the buffalo hunters. They never caught on, for whatever the...

"Shall we play a game?"

Point taken. I was looking for instances where there was an armed encounter and a bystander was hit, not specifically what the talking heads are calling a random event.

I'm of the opinion - and I have been for 40+ years - its the Indian and not the arrow. I think Jim Cirillo was a good example of the primacy of software over hardware. An effective killer will get the job done with whatever weapon is in hand.

Is anyone aware of any *documented* case where an innocent bystander was hit, either by a justified shooter (miss) or an "overpenetration?" I reallly dislike the term, "overpenetration," as it strikes me as an oxymoron.

This is like arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Reliability and shot placement are key. Everything else is secondary.

On the Beretta interest: “Beretta's interest in buying Ruger surfaced in September 2025 when the family owned Luxembourg manufacturer disclosed in a regulatory filing it had acquired a 7.75% stake in Ruger. That stake grew to 9% in October 2025. In February, Beretta became the largest...

I don’t believe so…the paused production models represent a relatively small fraction of Rugers income - some suggest so small that is why production was suspended. The increase is most likely attributed to the public’s overall increase in gun buying over the last year.

Hopefully this link works: https://www.unionleader.com/news/business-news/ruger-profits-nearly-quadruple-as-gun-sales-surge-in-third-quarter-8d48404d Summary: "Ruger’s third-quarter profit rose to $5.8 million as firearm sales climbed 16.4%, while the company narrows its product lineup to...

"No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session." ~ Mark Twain

Ah. Gotta toot his own horn.

I'll wait and grab a used copy of his book and check it out for myself.

Interesting montage. I would include the 22 Hornet in that list. A lot of old timers (and poachers) have used it for years to harvest literally truckloads of deer. The 32-20 is an interesting choice, as is the 16 gauge (as opposed to the 12 gauge). I would rank the 25-06 on the list...

I remember reading they are "geologically related" to the hills in Scotland and some of the mountains of Norway/Scandanavia.

From my notes: Any 210-200gr SWC 5.0 to 7.0 Unique 5.7grs BE-86 And I use either Special brass or magnum brass. I’ve found zero difference in using either one.
