Money wise , it's a great decision but they sure aren't falling in line supporting the gun rights of NY citizens like other companies . Big deal . 900 jobs secured for the sake of greed .

Remington lands $80M deal Military orders over 5,000 rifles Associated Press ILION — Remington Arms has been awarded a nearly $80 million contract from the Pentagon to produce sniper ri­fles at the company’s Mohawk Valley plant, an upstate New York congress­man said Friday. U.S. Rep. Richard Hanna, whose 22nd District includes the plant in Ilion in Herkimer County, said the contract calls for Remington to make more than 5,000 sniper rifles and millions of rounds over 10 years for the U.S. Special Operations Command. Hanna, a Republican, called Reming­ton “the premier manufacturer” of snip­er rifles for the American military. Un­der the contract, the company will pro­duce the Remington Modular Sniper Ri­fle, or MSR, which has a range of up to 1,500 meters, or just under a mile. The contract announcement came two days after a group of state lawmak­ers met with Remington officials who told the legislators that the company plans to spend $20 million upgrading its gun manufacturing plant in Ilion. Local media outlets report that three senators and three Assembly members met with Remington officials on Wednesday to discuss what they could do to ensure the company keeps its plant in Ilion, where the company employs about 1,200 people. Concerns were raised about the company’s future in Ili­on after the Legislature passed a law banning the sale of military-style rifles, including the Bushmaster product made at the plant. Since the law was passed in mid-Jan­uary, other states have shown interest in having Remington relocate the plant. Remington officials haven’t com­mented on the upgrade plans. Remington has been a part of Ilion since 1816, when Eliphalet Remington crafted a flintlock rifle on his father’s forge. In addition to producing firearms and ammunition for the military and law enforcement, the Madison, N.C.-based company also makes weapons for hunt­ing and shooting sports.

If it's doing so well , why are there so many County board members and Sheriffs against them .? someone is fudging the numbers !

I e-mailed it to several people and a couple responded with , " is this for real ? Is this a joke ? "

I have the same camera but havn't had any problem wity it ( yet ) . Not sure if if even know where the usb cord is for the camera . Does it take a common cord with USB on both ends ? I guess I could pull the instructions and see ........

Welcome to Hunting NY ...... hey , you can spell your name backwards

Good one Joe !

Another bit of advice , don't use this method to start the saw ..........

I have had a couple of cheap 16" Poulons that I used when I bought log loads to cut up for our wood stove . The original saw was stolen and I bought another to replace it . Both worked fine but the newer one doesn't oil the chain as well as the original did . I figured the Stihl would be an upgrade . I doubt that I will be cutting anything any bigger than a 12" diameter . Thanks for the input !

I have a Poulon chain saw that I bought about 20 years ago and it's okay but I thought I would upgrade . I just bought a Stihl 16" MS 180 C . It is has a 31.8 CC engine . Bought the saw , case , 6 pack of synthetic oil and extra chain . I plan to help my son cut and clear some trees on my SILs property in Geneseo and thought a new saw might be just the ticket . I checked reviews on various saw models and brands and this saw seemed to come out on top . I expect to put it to the test in the next couple of weeks . Does anyone own one of these saws ? I think the Stihl saw my son has is a 20" model . I'll leave the bigger stuff for him to cut .

Here you go

Paula , proper grammar is as important as spelling . People use words like except for accept , etc .. It isn't so much a big deal on a hunting site but if you are sending out a formal letter to your Senator , Congressman , etc , you should be able to converse in an intelligent manner . I have certainly misspelled words on sites by trying to type fast and have been lucky enough to be able to make a correction after posting ( sometimes ). ps ---- I hope my spell check is working !

Belo --- for at least one time , I agree with you . If you are sending out a formal letter , you should have correct spelling and good grammar . I am also aware that there are educated people that cannot spell worth a damn !

The wife and I drove to Bloomington , Indiana last Thursday and drove home yesterday . We gassed up driving through and on the way back in Ohio and paid $3.549 a gallon . WE gassed up before leaving Bloomington paying $3699 a gallon . Made a wrong turn and drove through some back country roads trying to get to the X-way . In a couple of towns , we saw gas prices at $3.429 and a couple for $3.349 ( with membership ) . What's with our high gas prices ? Are we paying a lot of state tax on the gas or what ? Oh yeah , 70 mph allowed on Indiana x-ways . Saw a couple of bad truck and tractor trailer accidents on the Indiana x-way and traffic was held up for over 20 minutes in our eat bound lane . The best part was that we had a safe trip .

Yupper , I am on the list .

I bought the lifetime license when they offered it to us old folks for $50 . In 2011 I was able to start getting the Bow and ML free . Ahhhhh , life is good !

My newest detector is a Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II

I bought a cheap metal detector about 40 years ago and later bought a Whites metal detector from the Swap Sheet . It was fun to use but I never found anything of great value . The Whites kinda crapped out and I bought a newer detector with a discriminator two years ago but havn't used it much . Some kid ranger wannabe came riding in a pickup and stopped me from using it at a playground in Letchworth Park a long time ago . All he had to do was say I couldn't use it but he acted like a big deal . I went to the main office and reported the incident .

You could deprime with a smaller sizing die and then use your broken sizing die until you get the pin you need . CALL LEE PRECISION AND GET A REPLACEMENT ! AND YES , I AM SHOUTING !

About 5 years ago , I was replacing Posted signs on my SILs property . I found a rusted Remington 20 ga shotgun with birdshot . I gave it to my SILs neighbor as it was on his side of the fenceline and I didn't want a Remington . He had no idea who had left it out by the woods and I don't think he ever did anything with the shotgun .

Awesome size for a walk in for any home / camp .

Too many Republicans didn't vote ! Many voters voted for the Liberals and a good portion of those votes came from Blacks and Latinos . They still expect the Obomanater to pay their mortgage !

I wasn't there . I drove to Bloomington , Indiana with my wife . I stopped at a small gun shop nearby and they had plenty of guns but not much ammo . The store was very small but quite busy . I also went to a DICK's Store . They had a lot of shotgun ammo but very little rifle / pistol ammo and the guy said it was hard to get any ammo in .........

Personally my dear , errrr nyantler , I don't give a damn ! I don't support cross bows but someone using one won't affect me as they wouldn't be on the property that I hunt on .

There is a lot of bad grammar and words spelled wrong on the sites but , there are also those that use excellent grammar with correst spelling and are still A-holes ! Just saying !
