Whatever

Okay, that's much, much pricier. The whole "buy once, cry once" doesn't apply when you're crying off that level of pain. I was looking into one, just not in the books right now. Currently looking at the Savage Stealth Evo in 300win

 

Condensed story time.

Yesterday we went to the in laws for lunch, first time we've been there this year.

Mawmaw gave our 4 year old daughter and old cell phone, whatever. I told her, she can still call 911, oh well. We get home and charge it, daughter is playing with it 3 hours later and comes running in the kitchen in panic mode "I dialed the emergency number" I said WHERE IS THE PHONE?

You can't raise your voice to her in these situations, she starts crying quickly, she is an emotionally little wreck when you raise your voice to her, she gets the emotions from her daddy

Well turns out brother has the phone, I go in there and he says "I hung it up".

I hug our daughter and explain to her we can't call 911 unless it's an emergency. I ask her how and what happened, she said, and I quote "it said place emergency call and I hit yes" I said then what? She said "some lady answered and ask what was my emergency" okay, what did you say "I ask her if she would hang up" I busted out laughing, I told my wife in about 20 minutes we will have a deputy roll up.

Nobody ever called back or came but Sadie learned a valuable lesson yesterday

 

I'm going to stop you right here.... "Yesterday we went to the in laws for lunch"... Don't you mean dinner?!

Ok time to continue reading...

 

I said what I meant, and I meant what I said.

We eat breakfast, lunch, and supper

 

Is there a reason you have such a loyalty to Savage?


I've never really messed much with HPR's because, well, Indiana. Up until a year or two ago, you could only use shotgun for hunting...and the closest range to me that is over 300 yards is about 1.5 hours away at a military base.


I think I have a Howa 7mm Mag coming down the pipe soon as a "heirloom" from my dad, as he cant physically get out and down a deer, dress it, and drag it out of wherever it ended up. LOL.

WHAT am I gonna do with a 7mm Mag?

 

Remember MIL's raccoon problem, nothing says "I told you so" like a 7mm mag

 

And....


If the MIL becomes the problem...???

 

911 calls from cell phones go to the state troopers or highway patrol, not local departments. It does this without pinging a location as well. Nobody was coming unless you told them where to go

 

Nope, no particular reason. Have shot a few of their rifles over the years and I've always been impressed with them. Accurate, comfortable, and I like the accutrigger.

As far as what you're gonna do with a 7mag....

I don't typically go to a range, just out in the desert. At the closest spot to me I can get out to 350 without too much trouble. There are a couple spots in there you can go past 500, but you gotta be the only one there. A different area and you can go as far as you like

 

Every time I call 911 from my cell it goes to the county beside us, I have learned to ask for the county I live in before telling them what I need. It's amazing how quick you get transferred.

 

I need better help than that. He fell asleep on the job and now we're all busted

 

He makes crop circles, doesn't he.

 

You can tell he's tired of his antics

 

@Roll Tide I should say that I haven't taken this out past 300 yet. Still having my own issues with consistency. Not sure what happened since I first shot a 7mag accurately to 350 first time out hitting a can and now where I just keep psyching myself out, but who knows. I'll never blame my equipment

 

Nope, a tool will always do its job if you learn to use it properly. 98% is operating error. Gotta find that special place in the mind to shoot decent distance.

 

Yep. and I can't find that peace of mind. Oh well. It'll come and there's no rush. The rifle's ready when I am. Until then, I'm just cleanin it and drinkin

 

Also, when I get that new one, I'm thinkin about swapping this scope onto that and getting a less powerful one for this one.

 

No try, only do.

 

It's SEMO YP, ya knucklehead...and the TB next to the rehab center is a nice touch don't ya think?
