Maybe they measure different in Brazil where the Rossi's are manufactured . I tried Powerbelts a few years ago . Never had one fall out but heard a lot of negatives about not getting pass throughs on deer so I went to the TC sabots with Hornaday SST 240 grain bullet .

2 of my sons own Browning 270's and love them . I reload for both of them . I have a 25-06 single shot that I like . The factory ammo is expensive and costs more than 1 1/2 times the price of the 270 .

Best conceal carry for a women?
fasteddie replied to nybuckboy's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
I have a Ruger LCP with a Crimson laser on it . I don't like the trigger on it . Pull , pull , pull and it finally goes off . I prefer a trigger that has tension on it and when you pull , it fires . just my opinion ..........I havn't fired the LCP enough to get comfortable with it . -

State has helped fund rifle plant

They brought Marlin manufacturing along with 100 jobs to NYS . That isn't much compared to the taxpayer investment . -

State has helped fund rifle plant Ilion facility has guns for police, military Michael Virtanen Associated Press ALBANY — New York state has spent nearly $6 million over the past three years on subsidies for a two-century-old upstate factory that makes firearms including semiautomatic rifles used by the military and police and like those used in the recent killings in Webster and Connecticut. Though several elected leaders in this toughon- guns state want tighter restrictions on those military- style weapons, none say it’s time to stop supporting Remington Arms Co. and risk the nearly 1,000 jobs it provides in the central New York community of Ilion. The gunmaker has plenty of defenders, particularly those who support the continued manufacture of weapons used by the military or police. In 2010, Empire State Development, the agency that works with private companies to attract and retain jobs, announced $2.5 million in grants and subsidies to help Remington bring its Marlin leveraction gun production from Connecticut to Ilion and add 100 jobs. That followed two grants in 2009 worth $3 million for renovations and machinery. “It was never the desire of the state of New York to subsidize the development of the sort of tactical weapons that ended up being used in Connecticut and now, I understand, in upstate New York as well,” said Assemblyman Charles Lavine, a Long Island Democrat. “By tactical weapons, I’m talking about a rifle such as the Bushmaster.” In 2011, Bushmaster Firearms moved manufacturing operations from Maine to Ilion, where Remington now makes Bushmaster guns. No state money was used in that transfer, which brought more than 40 jobs. Police said Bushmaster military-style rifles were used to kill 20 school children and seven adults in Newtown, Conn., and to kill two volunteer firefighters and seriously wound two others Monday when they responded to a blaze in Webster. Police have not said where the guns used in the shootings were manufactured. It’s possible they were made in Maine before operations moved to New York; Remington also has one other production plant in Hickory, Ky., according to the company’s website. A spokeswoman for U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said he has consistently said that he believes it’s appropriate for lawmakers to support production of semiautomatic assaultstyle weapons for military and law enforcement use, but that the guns don’t belong in the hands of civilians. Schumer, who has helped Remington secure Army contracts including an $8.9 million award in 2011 to produce 1,212 M24 sniper rifles, joined the company at last year’s event announcing the move of Bushmaster to Ilion. Since the Newtown shootings, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said better gun control should be addressed first with federal legislation, noting New York already has some of the toughest gun laws and many of the guns used in crimes come from out of state. He added that the state ban on so-called assault weapons has “significant loopholes,” including allowing large-capacity magazines made before 1994. “Much of the law’s on the cosmetics of the gun, the design of the gun, rather than the actual capacity of it, so there’s no question but that the law needs to be improved, in my mind,” he said. New York law generally prohibits possession of an assault weapon or large-capacity magazine, felonies punishable by up to seven years in prison. An assault weapon is defined as a semiautomatic rifle that can use a detachable magazine and has at least two of these other characteristics: folding stock, pistol grip, bayonet mount, flash suppressor or grenade launcher. Police said the Bushmaster that William Spengler used to kill two firefighters in an ambush Monday was equipped with a flash suppressor, which makes it harder for a potential target to see the flash of light emitted from the end of the rifle barrel when a round is fired. Many of the Bushmaster rifles advertised also have pistol grips. “I think much more has to be done on assault weapons, quote unquote, starting with the point: How do you define an assault weapon?” Cuomo said. He promised his gun proposal in his State of the State Address on Jan. 9. Cuomo spokesman Richard Azzopardi said subsidies to Remington were awarded under the previous administration and that are no pending requests for future aid. Assemblyman Marc Butler, a Republican who represents Ilion, said that Remington makes guns that are legal and that the company and the community are getting “a bad rap.”

Many of the reporters don't have any idea about guns . One of the guys on YNN news today mentioned that one of the guns the Webster shooter ( Spengler ) had was a "Mossberg 12 gauge rifle" . A 12 gauge rifle ???

Deport Piers Morgan ?
fasteddie replied to 132 eight pointer's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
I have caught his show a couple times and he's a real Twit ! What's with these Brits ( there are several others ) on the TV stations over here ? Yes , he has a right to his views on gun control but he's still a twit .......... Can't stand his show . Never sure if he believes what he says or if it's just an act to get a rise out of folks . -
I never cared for Fords but we got a lot of good years out of that car . I couldn't find a pic of a deer on the Chevette that we had . As for the sleeping bag in one of the pics , I got it from the Marine Corps and used it in my stand in the woods when it was sub zero weather . I was able to handle the freezing weather using it plus it was handy to prop up a deer's head for pictures .
