I knew it, I knew it. I swear I said to myself.... Mooshoo is gonna post about the .500 Mag.

You need a new title.... "One Upping Scene Kid"
95% of my range time is with a single shot marlin 200L .22 and my dads smith 41. I don't need a penis extension, I need something I can shoot. .500 S&Ws are dumb unless you plan on bear hunting with it (not just protecting yourself)

The only penis extension I need are the little .22 inch holes down range

2 grand for a gun that only shoots a few hundred faster and weighs twice and awkward to carry? no thanks, that is the point I will carry a rifle
Buttt bbbuutttt it's a .308 packed in a pistol round!!!!


I agree completely, even my pops .44 with a huge barrel is a bit awkward to shoot.

I wonder why it took him that long to yell at the bear. Good restraint in not dispatching it ASAP. I'd be all. Get off! This is my tree btich! Bam Bam Bam. the moment he got to the base of the tree stand.

I don't plan on shooting one (tags/fees too expensive) but there has been 4 attacks in the last 2 months in the area I am going to be. I refuse to buried as a steaming heap of bear crap that smells like pepper spray.

I will be floating fishing and hunting for 9 days and making camp along the river as I go. if I down a caribou they will come like a dinner bell
Can't you get a non-resident military tag? Or do you not qualify since you're out?

well I fly out tomorrow morn, spent most of the day today doing final preps. fire 150 rounds out of the 44 mag and hit kill/vitals with every shot at 50 yards. love that handgun, kind of the unsung hero of my collection.

got some buffalo bore +P+ for the trip....friggin artillery

I ordered you a hat for your hunting needs. No need to thank me.

I dunno, if I close my eyes when they're checking my nuts and think of Betty White, the entire TSA rough trade hand job isn't as invasive as everyone makes it out to be.

Wait, you live with your parents? I"m so confused now.
Yup, it's either don't live with them or don't go to school, and when I do transfer to real college next fall the guns aren't going anywhere. I'm not going to have the space or the money to store them properly.



And, my rents are pretty rad, me and my dad still go camping together, so it's not so bad.

Actually very impressed to hear that. You're making strides (albeit small) in the right direction, young Jedi..

Known fact: Zombies hate pink.
So wait, you're saying that in the Zombie Apocalypse Paris Hilton, the Kardashian's, and Brittney Spears won't be eaten? God, it would almost be worth throwing yourself to the brain eating hordes.

I just hide my bolt, no need for a safe.
hypothetical....

crack head breaks in when you're away
feeds your dog pot brownies
takes your bolt-less long guns
takes your firing pin-less pistols

what would you be left with.... bolts and pins.

Good job on the safe and storage principles MooShoo. Thats how it should be done. :thumb:

I'm just learning to turn my stubbornness into drive and determination. Besides the week off work I took to go to northstar (and chill out so I didn't start blowing things up) I've had a total of 15 days off with no school or work (yes I'm counting) and this last year have become very familiar with 12 hour days with more homework waiting at home.

Blindly running into cactus
Flew to Montana with my Rem 700 out of Phoenix. Same thing, was told to be there 4hrs early. Expect to be under constant surveillance the moment you even approach the terminal. I was greeted by security long before I got close to the check desk. Escorted to the security office where they promptly checked my ammo and weapon. Once everything was kosher, I was politely escorted to the check in desk where the attendant nervously tagged the case and placed the key in an envelope and handed it to the rentacop. Rentacop hand carries the case and ammo into the back. I was informed to make sure to check in with the attendants at the departure gate 30min before boarding. Watched the same rentacop walk out with my weapon case and hand it to the luggage loaders. Envelope with key was then walked up the ramp to the flight attendant and handed to the pilot or copilot as soon as they arrived.

Upon arriving in Montana, there was a rentacop waiting for me at the gate and escorted me to baggage. Went in a special room where they had my weapon, ammo, and personal luggage (which was surprisingly missing my usual yellow ziptie on the zippers). Opened weapon case and inspected ammo. Signed some receipt. Rentacop escorts me to the rentacar shuttle and hands me my key in the envelope and I'm off.

Oddly enough, leaving Montana was much easier. Showed up 4 hours and got "wow, you're here early" from the security guy. Didn't escort me to the check in desk and didn't inspect my weapon/ammo. Didn't get the evil eye again till I got back to Phoenix.

All in all, a little bit of stress, but so long as you let them do their thing you should be fine.
jeez...i didn't have half the stress checking in my firearm when going to a DHS school in New Mexico last year. I just declared it at check-in, they filled out a form for me, opened the case to ensure it wasn't loaded and sent it on it's way. the ammo was in a separate case and was tagged as well. seemed pretty painless to me.

You traveled with an M4 or shotty?

Prolly cuz I look like a disgruntled postal worker or something, I dunno. My long gun case is stainless steel, big, and shiny. Guess the security guys saw me comin a mile away. Ammo was also in a separate case.
