Nidan1 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 A powerful criminal brain from the planet Arous, Gor, assumes the body of Soldier Rick Felger. Thru Felger he begins to control the world by threatening destruction to any country challenging his domination. Another brain, Val, works with Felger's wife to defeat Gor. Val explains that Gor will be vulnerable when he is forced to leave Felger at intervals to re-energize. Gors vulnerable spot, the Fissure of Orlando, is described in a note left by his wife in Ricks's tent in Kuwait, a small country in the Persian Gulf region.

ng cavscout Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 you all may mock, but you are looking at the next evolutionary step in mankinds development, nay, not mankinds, but "Mankinds". Thanks Abbott. Hey, you are a hunter, I have a question for you, I am thinking of getting into deer hunting when I get back, and my PD has an old M-14 that we don't use for anything. I was thinking of asking the Chief if I could buy it, but is it a good Deer rifle? It is the 7.62 version like that used in Full Metal Jacket.

Hey, you are a hunter, I have a question for you, I am thinking of getting into deer hunting when I get back, and my PD has an old M-14 that we don't use for anything. I was thinking of asking the Chief if I could buy it, but is it a good Deer rifle? It is the 7.62 version like that used in Full Metal Jacket. Sure it would work. It has the accuracy and the stopping power of the 7.62mm (.308 Winchester sporting round)and is fine for deer thru black bear. My only issue with the M-14 as a sporting rifle would be it's weight, it gets heavy to carry. Especially so if you are hiking up and down hills. I am not familiar with the hunting in your area. California and Oregon I do a lot of hiking when I hunt deer. In other states many hunters hunt from deer blinds, sitting and waiting for a deer to happen by. Hunting form blinds is probably more productive then hiking and it really doesn’t require the long-range accuracy of the M-14. A much lighter weight sporter (or carbine) would probably be more to your liking. That M-14 is probably a very good monetary investment for you though if you can get it at a reasonable price. I bet you would be surprised if you Googled-up the price of one of those fine weapons. Currently I use a Remington Arms Model 740 semi-auto Carbine with a 5 round capacity. It is chambered for 30-06, which is a bit more potent, then the .308 Winchester round (7.62mm). The extra power is not really needed for deer size game, it just shoots a little flatter. I have been hunting deer with it for many, many years with a 180-grain soft-point bullet. The .308 is fine especially so if hunting deer from a blind where long range shots are not a necessity and the Remington Carbine is available chambered for .308 Winchester. Edit to add: This guy Link lives in your neck of the woods. He uses a Remington 7400 (just a newer version of the 740, I have one new in the box, never fired) and likes it. He also prefers a 220-grain bullet as they cut thru brush better. I haven't had need of the heavier bullet as most of my deer hunting has taken place in mountainous terrain.

BFCElvis Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Dear NV, Weird (and not good weird) real world times around here and I haven't checked this thread in a while. Great to see the picture of you and your daughter. You're gonna have a lot of fun. Get your ass home for good and enjoy. Warm thoughts, Elvis P.S. My brother has your head beat by a mile.

BFCElvis Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Dear Abbott, They don't look like very good eatin dogs to me. The black one maybe but the brown one looks "stringy" and possibly "gamey". Love, Elvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ng cavscout Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Boo Radley, it is actually more pear shaped. Notice the lovely contours of the perfectly formed skull. Stikkypixie, lucky girl isn't she? If only more kids had father figures like me, the world would be a better place, might be a few less Michael Emrys's around! Thanks Elvis Abbott I was planning on going to my father -in - law's land up by Spooner, WI. He hunts from a stand. Around my area, Beloit, in southern WI, you can stand hunt, or walk the woods and fields, from what I understand. I have actually only been deer hunting once, and I went with my mom a long time ago. We walked around a bit, hunkered down on a hill, and called it a day, never seeing a deer, only to almost hit one in the car on the way home. My wife used to go deer hunting, so I am hoping she will show me the ropes. Reading this, it sounds a bit strange, but there you have it. I think I will go with the M-14, if I can get the Chief to sell it cheap. I think I can probably get it for $200-300, I saw the receipt, the PD bought it for like $125 back in the 80's.

You may want to clean it up and hold on to it as an investment instead of using it in the field. I have never seen a used M14 for less then $700.00. I only know of two companies still making them and new they go for $1500-$2,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
