The post whore thread.

Beats my internet. Stupid clearwire.

Nah, pay for the cheapest package they have. 2 MBPS sucks is terribly slow.

The first thing I did when soldiers would come to my office and say they're having money problems is I tell them to bring me a copy of their bank ledger. All of them. They get all offended, and I tell them I can fix their money problems once and for all, and they bring them in.

then I tell them where they are being wasteful. They get upset and say that they can't live without their giant car payments, fancy stereos, huge rims, enormous cell phone bills, etc., etc.

they usually come around when I tell them that I don't support them getting a loan until they trim some of the fat off their own living. It is very hard to be my subordinate. I will absolutely crush your soul......

Oh, someone brought this up earlier, so I didn't want anyone to feel left out of the loop:


To be, or not to be, that is the question—
Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die, to sleep—
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end
The Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocks
That Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep,
To sleep, perchance to Dream; Aye, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes Calamity of so long life:
For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of time,
The Oppressor's wrong, the proud man's Contumely,
The pangs of despised Love, the Law’s delay,
The insolence of Office, and the Spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his Quietus make
With a bare Bodkin? Who would Fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered Country, from whose bourn
No Traveler returns, Puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know not of.
Thus Conscience does make Cowards of us all,
And thus the Native hue of Resolution
Is sicklied o'er, with the pale cast of Thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment,
With this regard their Currents turn awry,
And lose the name of Action. Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia? Nymph, in thy Orisons
Be all my sins remembered.

Boom, lawyered!

Wait, it was me who brought it up. Oh well....

[bogie]

Yes.

what distance do you want to shoot?

a good recommendation is either this because of the sweet reticle (and they are good scopes):

or this for something similar:

or if you're looking for something that's pretty bomb proof:

http://www.leupold.com/tactical/scop...x40mm-30mm-m3/

Ive shot an ipsc steel target out to 1k with the last one and a 16" barrel. I even hit it once or twice!

50 to 800 yards is probably where I want to be. I know it's a wide range.. the lower end of that for deer hunting etc. and the higher end for some gong ringing.

I've grown to love Leupold since I can always rely on them. That is probably my max price range.

Not sure about vortex since they are phillipino (I think) (maybe jim can provide insight on phiilipino human labor quality...)

But that bushnell has a nice mag range, mil turrets, and I'm digging that reticle too! I didn't realize they made those DMR reticles and had a 30 mm tube.

Thanks for those recommendations. I should ask, have you personally looked through/shot either of the first two?

Oh you'd probably be impressed with my budget! We have no debt (only mortgage but that doesn't really count lol), no car payments, pay split payments on our mortgage to get that 13th payment each year (which we also put extra towards principle), hardly ever go out to eat, don't eat fast food or junk food or soda, we allot a small amount each paycheck for "personal" money which is where my rifle/reloading/etc funds come from. We save more than our monthly mortgage each paycheck. So BRING IT ON!

I knew an Ophelia once. Nice gal, worked at the gas station outside of town.

Way to pwn yourself
