Default What do I REALLY want for Christmas...

Well, Peace Love and universal happiness are way up there along with a Knight's armament M110, But in case the Mayans are wrong...

How about an LS7 for my 2010 Grand Sport... Just Drove AJ's car with the LS7 at NJMP now that Kurt has continued working on it and that thing is a fine piece...

Fast, and stable and stops... Did i say it was fast???

It is so much fun eating Porsches for lunch, or morning breakfast, or even the main course... And I love Porsches...

And chasing Jeff and Steve around in their Z06's was like pure joy. Too bad it had to end....

Oh well, i will put this on my list!!! Yeah.. One LS7 with headers and a Mamba intake....

Joe, if you really want a M110 from Knight's, a friend of mine is an FFL in Pottstown- he can receive it for you. That would be a short ride for you.

I find that the .308 AR variants are too damn heavy, esp. once you add rails and stuff.

Oh! but they are fun to shoot POF and Trijicon accupoint scope and u have a very nice weapon--20 inch fluted barrell(machine gun grade). Less than a M110. Sub MOA

Yeah, tables of John Q public (non-dealer) at gun shows seem to be gaining appeal as of late.

This is exactly why I bought my Barrett 82A1 a few months ago...in 50 cal. of course.

Buy it before they tell me I can't have it.

And is she ever a blast to shoot!

Barrett 50, ya baby When the SEALS deployed those in Mogadishu some key people finally admitted the 7.62 was a joke. I really like it when Barrett slammed the door on Cali law enforcement after Finestine and cronies banned private ownership. The Washington Times has a very disturbing article on what our beloved leaders have in store.

The .338 Lapua Magnum is a badass **** as well...some really long-range shots made with it.

But you can't beat that .50 cal. It hits like a ton of bricks. We sighted it in @ 500 yds. and put a hole right through the 1/4" steel plate next to the ranging target...clean.

I was proud of Barrett standing up to the Republic of Kalifornia...step on the second amendment and see how much support you get. From Barrett = zero.

Now we are really getting down to shooting and I thought we were just talking about 308 Knights. So now I submit the M408 Cheytac for beyond 2000 meters that is more accurate than the 50 Barrett and least not forget the Barrett 416. We have gone from rifles to artillary pieces. This is what the old guys said to us when we brought out the big guns at the local range. He said-"son, that aint no rafle, that is an artillary piece"lol

Amen...

When the round is as big as a "normal" personal package...filled to the neck with smokeless powder...and you squeeze it off. OMFG...the first shot I almost $hit myself. Had one poor sap there who was a retired Marine shoot it, and forgot the muffs and earplugs. He couldn't hear for an hour.

When you stand ten feet behind a gun and the percussive blast can be felt on your entire body...oh yeah! Instant wood.

The Lapua is the king of the more conventional rifles. A huge leap past the 300 Win Mag. The M2 ammo used to be readily available, that WAS a big advantage. When deployed the 750 grain M2 round is very effective at defeating cover / armor, a handy feature.
