I've bought numerous things from Cheaper Than Dirt, but today is the first time I realized they sell guns. Is this new or did I just never pay attention before? From what I saw they are reasonable also.
I hope you sent the lady flowers, (probably a good idea to tell your wife first, unless you just like to live dangerously). I hope you have many happy shoots with your rifle!
I enjoy fishing but wouldn't call myself a fisherman mainly because I don't do it that often and NM is one of those places you really do need a boat to fish.
Also having spent way to much time in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Egypt, Turkey and even Iran during my years in the military I can say these are some of the most narrow minded people in the world and if you disagree with them you are an infidel. Also if you think we have sheeople in the US, those people will do anything an imam tells them. American should not mistake the iman as the equivalent of our priest or preachers but think of them as lawyers and judges it is all about Sharia law.
My bolt action .22 (Marlin 925R) will eat anything. My 10/22 is a bit pickier, doesn't like Remington 22 Cyclone at all (neither do I it left the rifle filthy). Does well with the Federal Bulk (solid or HP) packs if I load the 25 round magazines by hand. I also have a box of Federal Auto Match which I haven't tried yet, but three of the people at the last Tactical .22 Match said they did great in their 10/22. It excels with CCI Mini-Mags, but I only shoot those when it counts, if the Federal Auto Match works out I may be able to switch to those which are less expensive.
