I’d be down for a 6.5 CM bolt gun, but not motivated to deal with the registration BS right now. Maybe a 6.5 Grendel upper. Have seen both on shelves at a few LGSs.

Wolf is not made in China, it's made in Taiwan.  Russian components, American components, all made in Taiwan.


No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

You could always throw it at your enemy!

Like that scene at the end of Saving Private Ryan where Tom Sizemore and the German solider run out of ammo at the same time and throw their pistols at each other.   :rofl:

Lots of .22 pellets and hard to find CO2 cartridges.  Mechanics of accuracy are the same.   My louder air guns have LDCs on the muzzle do the old hag next door does not piss and moan.

Guess I’m NOT a fund after all? I don’t own one.

I own this gun, does it count?

The video confirms what I've already been thinking.  I like the idea of helping fellow gunowners by selling ammunition if you happen to have more than enough.

But that's the dilemma.  How much is enough?
Sometimes you gotta know when to save your bullets.

You're not a what?  Do you need to check your contract prescription?  In addition to your hearing aid battery?   ;D  :rofl:

I've given away some ammo as well as sold to friends for what I paid for.  A couple of them new-ish gun owners.  Been telling them for many years to get firearms and ammo.  But no. . . rather spend on booze, cigars, and wimmenz. . .  ::)   :rofl:

This is the free market at work and why price caps don't work.  Prices are high so people have the incentive to sell their stash to those in need, and replenish when prices are low.

How much is enough is situation dependent.  For me, I like to stock up at least one years worth of ammo.  In slow years it may be shooting 2,000 rounds a year.  In my training and competition years it could be 10,000.  The average gun owner shoots 100 rounds or less.

To be, or not to be a fudd, that is the question. Every time I type fudd the spell check changes it to fund.

And, please tell me. What is a “contract prescription”?  :rofl:
