Can I bring down my 91/30 and try it out? Finally got a bolt gun maybe not the most precise one but it has a bolt! LOL What kind of range would a 7.62x54r have? With iron sights. I need to find a outdoor range to shoot this thing, and test my target mini-14.

I am a chemical process operator, I work with the worst kinds of chemicals you can think of(not radio active stuff) Process chemicals that go into other chemicals to make welding flux and flux cored MiG welding wire. I also help run the kilns that make submerged arc low hydrogen welding fluxes. You name it barium, lithium, strontium, magnesium, fluorides of all kinds, and the worst of all Lime(that stuff burns the heck out of ya) Use to make mig wire mixes, doing Mg additions. But the flux dept is not as dangerous as working with fine powder Magnesium. Hey it pays the bills right?

Yeah to bad there is no where to sgoot up here! Stone wall is it and they get to picky for my taste. Man do I need some property in the country BAD! NO close outdoor ranges to speak of up here.

Or just buy a taurus judge it shoot .410 five rounds..LOL

I live right by the park off nobottom rd. Looked at the xdm9 but didnt want to spend the extra money on the xdm. I hear ya on the finish I just bought a pt-145 in stainless so I didnt have to worry about that. They only had the xd in black. I rented a xd9 subcomp at stonewall with over 7-8k rounds down it the thing looked pretty good for the use. If I had found the bitone I would have bought one. I use to have a s&w m&p 9mm so I will see how the xd compares to that.

Kinda hard to carry a 48" rifle with 440 rounds of ammo on my bike LOL! The hand gun might fit into my tank bag? Besides my battery is still dead, taking care of that on the way back from the gunshop! If I quit buying guns I could have got tires and a new battery, oh well guns are more fun this time of year anyways.

I say other, get the siaga 12ga semi auto. should be great for skeet LOL!

Will be going down there in the morning to pick up my guns/ammo (thurs).

Yeah the xd9 is more for my wife, she wants to start shooting with me and my oldest son. Took her to the gun shop and a few gun shows. Told her to look and she what she liked, then try it in her hand. She walked past the wheel guns? Tried almost 10-12 guns she liked the "looks" of. Then settled on the xd9. Fine with me great guns and after she shoots it a few times and gets bored I get a new gun to shoot! She is going to also take a nra pistol class, as well as me teaching her the basics. Picking them up in the morning, might stop on the way home to break in the xd9. As for the rifle it is a mosin nagat 91/30. Clean bore and decent wood for a milsurp, have always wanted one. And for $79.99 why not? Milsurp ammo is cheaper then shooting my .223. Gonna have to shoot the 91/30 outdoors as all local ranges will not let me shoot the milsurp rounds(fmj metal core)

All I have to say is you live south of canton you don't know crap about snow. I trust magley(who lives in astratucky) LAKE EFFECT is all I have to say. Until you have been in the snow belt you have NO idea what real snow is. I have to drive into this crap to go to work. Nothing like getting a foot of snow when you are in work.

Just picked up a few new toys today. Will be picking them up Thurs. and hope to shoot them this thurs of fri. no pics yet but this is what I am getting thurs..

Check these out also I am ordering one for my .45.... http://www.crossbreedholsters.com/beltslide.html

Well my triple has been redone by Crooked river. It has racetech front springs, gold valves, and rebuild kit. The rear shock has a racetech spring over the stock shock. Has dp front race pads, power commander and custom map. just needs rear tire. it is a bit worn LOL! I will pm ya some pics. I have always liked the viffer.

what kind of triumph you looking to get? I might be selling my triple? and looking to get something else.

Hey Paul you live on the east side! just a bit south...

Yeah if I could get tires and a battery on my bike I would ride down 93 LOL!

Hey I work on the east side does that count?

Ah come on, I rode to north Ga. on my triple twice. Did the dragon and all the good roads on the way back. Ride down, it will be more fun. We did 3700 miles in 5 days last time. 14 hours on a bike is not THAT bad. I had a buell and a busa with me on the ride down and they were fine. Just make sure you have new tires on before you leave, I burned mine up in the five days we were down there.

Sorry almost every stunt rida I have met is a d-bag. keep it off the freeway assholes. I live near cleveland and there are tons of stunta wanna be's up here makes me sick.

If only I could sell my triple, I would love to be back on a gixxer I had one back in the srad days...

Since we are talking ballistics, what is the diffrence between .45acp and .45gap?

I would have to say check with Flounder? He posts up some stuff for long shoots, bench shooting. Out of my neck of the woods as I have only a meager mini 14 target model to play with.

The wife went with us also just to watch, she was gonna go and shoot the xd9 but didn't end up doing it. Will have to make a trip back with just her to try it out. Been so long since I shot a gun with 6 o'clock sights I was shooting way high with the xd. I am now use to the straight 8 sights on my pt145. I use to go to the range with my Dad when I was younger, still remember it. Good times for sure.

Heck if she won't ride pillion on my triple I figure he could LOL!

Now if I could only talk my wife into letting me take him for bike rides longer then around the block!
