GRAB YOUR BOLTIES EVERYONE.

The winter wars match was great last year. It was my first try at any type of match shooting. Looks like this fall the Doughboy Match will be a similar event. Anyone within driving distance to Kankakee should try to make it. I know that the Neander Blog People are close enough. Let's see if we can get a good blogger contingent. Read the flyer and mark the calendars. Sorry about short notice I just saw it myself.

Your Top Match

You planned to vote for Fred Thompson. But based on your responses, your top candidate for 2008 is below.
California Representative Duncan Hunter (R)90.15% match

Your Other Top Matches
You will want to pay close attention to these candidates through election day.

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R) - 86.36% Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo (R) - 86.36% Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson (R) - 85.61%

So Hunter / Thompson or Thompson / Hunter would be fine with me. I wonder if Hunter S. Thompson would approve or if he would be spinning in his grave? It was fun, why not give it a whirl?

WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT RIFLE

In the next few weeks I hope to rub a couple of hundys together to add a new arm to my collection. Below are some that I am pondering. I would like some feedback on what you would suggest and why. I'll post pix when I acquire said arm.

• YUGO 24/47 - I HAVE A FEW MAUSERS AND ONE YUGO 48A
• LOW END WWI GERMAN MAUSER RUSSIAN CAPTURE REWORK-MISMATCH ( I DON'T HAVE A GERMAN 98K)
• A THIRD K-31' 'NUFF SAID
• ANOTHER 91-30 (MAYBE A HEX RECEIVER OR A LAMINATED STOCK OR BOTH)
• A SHOOTER YUGO SKS
• AN ENFIELD NO 1 MK 3 - I HAVE AN NO4 MK1 AND AN ISHAPORE 2A
• AN IZZY 98K IN 7.62 X 51 - WAY COOL LITTLE RIFLE
• CZ-82 PISTOL - I AM MOSTLY INTO LONG ARMS BUT THIS ONE INTRIGUES ME
• STEYR M95 - I DID GET A FEW ROUND OF GERMAN AMMO AFTER ALL

Please Vote in the sidebar poll.

Ammo Day Jr. A few days Late

Since I am into C&R I had to wait till the next gun show, and for funds availability, to make my ammo day Jr. purchase. Here it is. 3- 10rd boxes of Nazi 8x56R (I can already feel the pain and I don't actually own the Steyr m95 yet. 2 32rd boxes of Pakistani .303, 3-20rd Boxes of Greek .30-06 and a Brick of Aquila .22lr Super Colibre to see how quiet my Polish 22 Mosin Trainer is.



Oh yeah, and an M5a1 Bayonet for the Garand just to send Fienstein over the edge.

I really need to getout more if I intend to keep up my rating

I'm Back

OK I've been gone for a while and a lot has happened. I thought the worst thing that happened was that my digital camera got destroyed last summer. This slowed me down on Blogging but what really set back ( and reset my priorities) was having a heart attack in September. Now things are starting to return to normal and I will start blogging again. For Fathers' Day I received among other things a St Marie Graphics Clamp On Scope mount. I am going to select an appropriate scope and try it out. I'll be posting shortly about participating In last years "Winter Wars" at the ISRA Range in Bonfeild, IL as well as my acquisitions in the last year or so. So TTFN I will be posting shortly.
