Nah, the XS usually leaves something left of the side street....

Well... I still see the head... but the front leg looks like a different story??

Unless you live next to the highway - - -

Hi Midnight,
Canada's draconian gun laws forbid me owning an AK47 but Mr Stupid took out a ruffed grouse with a .308 bolt action one time. It just stood there at 5 yards, silly bird, so I put the crosshairs on it's neck to take the head off. Alas, the range was so close that the bullet path was still 2" below the sight line. Beak & feet make thin soup.

Good shot?

I did that once, he was about 100 yards away and when he jumped up to look back I plinked him with a 22 cal Browning Challenger II pistol.

I have gone after prairy dogs before. You thing that was overkill? The 7.62x39 round does quite the job of removing the parts you don't want. Somehow my Dad and I ended up with a bunch of stuff that uses that round. We also have an old Mossin Nagant originial from WAY back when and it fires the 7.62x54. My favorite round it the 30-06 because of the amazing guns that use it. Anyway, XS motorcycles are never overkill. I mean that in a way that not many other motorcycles can shame the newer bikes by shutting them down flat.
Have you been watching the Dirty Harry series lately? "This is a .44 Magnum and it would blow your head clean off"

Only thing I've ever killed with my AK is paper. But that paper was thoroughly dead!



I just wish I could find a red-dot that can stand up to the heat....

Get a side-rail mount for your AK. It would isolate any scope from heat.

Nice to see some AK owners here.

I do have a side scope mount, but it wouldn't be the same.

With that Ultimak rail, I can put a red dot directly in the line of the iron sights and get the same effect as an illuminated post. It's two-eyes-open point and shoot goodness. Once you get used to shooting with both eyes, you'll never want to go back. Me and a friend (who has a Bulgarian milled reciever AK) would set up a few hundred clays on a berm at 100 yards and race to see who could clear out their side first. With this system, it's very easy to get 25-28 hits out of a 30 round magazine, and in really short order. Bam, hit, bam, hit...gawd it's fun. He ended up removing the top guard on his and fabbing his own red-dot mount so he could keep up!

Problem is, since it's also the gas tube, it gets very hot. Will melt all the glue in a cheap red-dot after a few hundred rounds if you don't remove it beteween firings. A couple of cheap Tasco's have alreay given their lives.

I want to get an Aimpoint, but damn they're expensive! I have few doubts it will hold up, though. At $300+ a pop, it better!

Hey hobbyman, Nagants are fun. I have both an M44 and a 91/30. That M44 is more like a flamethrower than a rifle! Either will make a nice bruise on your shoulder before long!

Steel-cased ammo is just dandy, too. I remember when you could get 1000 rounds of 7.62x39 Wolf for under 70 bucks! Would buy 5 or 10k at a time. Man I shot a lot of that stuff up back then......

"Captions?"

Yes... how disappointing for your female. (But what's that got to do with a picture of you and a dead deer?)

[pggg]

Darn! savaged and mauled by Proms rapier wit yet again. Prom, is there no end to your brutality? And anyway, it was freezing cold that day... and the dear was still warm and quivering... and.. and... I'm stayin' with the 'small one' story... perhaps things are a bit different in up there in Washington State... I've heard rumors...

[prometheus578]

"Rumers are just little known facts."

Well yes, things are different here in Wa. state now. The paper yesterday read where they're prosecuting a guy for "doing it" with his dog.
New law enacted because of the guy last year who was killed while "doing it" with a horse.

Wa. state, I've heard rumors...

Kurt was excited about his new rifle. So, he went bear hunting. He spotted a small brown bear and shot it.
There was then a tap on his shoulder, and he turned around to see a big black bear.

The black bear said: "You've got two choices.
I either maul you to death or we have rough sex."

Kurt decided to bend over. Even though he felt sore for two weeks, Kurt soon recovered and vowed revenge.
He headed out on another trip where he found the black bear and shot it.
There was another tap on his shoulder.

This time a huge grizzly bear stood right next to him. The grizzly says: "That was a huge mistake, Kurt .
You've got two choices. Either I maul you to death or we have REALLY rough sex."

Again, Kurt thought it was better to comply. Although he survived, it would take several months before Kurt finally recovered.
Outraged he headed back to the woods, managed to track down the grizzly and shot it.

He felt sweet revenge, but then there was a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to find a giant polar bear standing there.

The polar bear says:

"Admit it, Kurt , you don't come here for the hunting, do you?"
