CZickiness XXXVIII Reboot. To Honor a friend

[SarahG]

Here's my philosophy for a 'battle rifle', WT.

I've decided that I only need accuracy out to 200 yards......for in my environment (even at the cabin), that's the longest range that I'll encounter. Any farther than 200 yrs., I'll be running away, finding safe cover, or acquiring a longer range rifle.
I want the rifle to be ready NOW ! .....that means no fumbling with dials/knobs/buttons on an optic to put it into action.
Nowadays, they have the always-on (50,000 hours of battery life), or shake-awake dots.
For me, that's the ticket....and having one with a prism/etched reticle is optimum.
If the dot fails, I want iron sights that co-witness at lower 1/3.

Not saying that my philosophy works for everyone.....but it works for me.

I feel like I'm the minority in this, but think if I can't solve a life threatening situation in my tiny house with a G19 + spare mag, I'm likely toast anyway.

No Sarah, you are not in the minority. Most of us keep something on the nightstand for those situations. It's just nice to have something additional when needed.

I keep a cannon in my bedroom.

I keep a cannon in my bedroom.

The problem is what you like to keep in that cannon....just saying...

 

[RustyHornet]

My eyes are perfect so irons on my battle rifle are perfect for me to 200 yards. At least for now...

 

[RustyHornet]

Just cause.

That's what I was saying when I was your age...

I didn't know you were "That" recoil sensitive....

I think of this copypasta every time I read about defense cannons:

"Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended."

You're most welcome. Glad I could help.

I miscounted my Cz97 mags. Have two more on order from Greg Cote.

Now I’m good...

I always found this hilarious.

Someone turned 45 today in here.

He’s seen a lot from his perspective in those 45 years and announces his age proudly to the masses.

Off work time to go sling some lead.

I don’t discriminate.

 

[MindfulMan]

Must be twins-my sentiments exactly. I have a "grab n go" with romeo 5 for instant action. And an AT&T model for reaching out to tickle someone. There is no "one build does all"

 

[MindfulMan]

I must give a shout out to GMCTTR... I received the 3 CZ97 mags he ordered for me. Reed is one of the reasons this thread is as great as it is. Thank You Sir!!!

I love the guy myself ! (in a manly-man way, of course).

.40 LONG and Proud ! .... it's a winner !

 

[MindfulMan]

A'right .... having caught-up with the thread, I'm off to do some sundries.
I hope that everyone has a great Sunday afternoon.
Later, gangsters....

Bummer, neither The Outdoorsman nor PB had the Bergara in .308 in stock. Also looked for a Weatherby Vanguard, but could only find them in 6.5 creedmore.
