I smoked more quality BC Bud when I lived in LaConner Washington ( not far from BC border , hee hee hee ) than Washington blunts easilly when I used . Clean now , thank God . But I do miss the smell and taste of good green buds from BC , some powerfully nice stuff there from you boys !!!!

The 1022 is an awsome rifle Dave, no doubt about it , very accurate in any configuration they make . I had one , sold it , stupid !!!! I am down to one .22 rifle now , but its my Squirrel and Bunny hunter , one shot at a time , because that is all I need !!!
Here is my Stevens-Savage ( CANADIAN !!!!! ) in .22LR . This is a special model with Joshua Stevens face on the Meddalion in the stock . And yes, that is 23 Karat Gold all over it too , the real deal , serial number 118 also . This gun is now worth some serious dollars . And it is deadly accurate , makes the 1022 Ruger look like poop on paper . Hard for you to beleive that but its true !!!! This rifle has a hand forged and hammered Button Rifled Barrel , very accurate . I put a Williams rear sight on it and Lyman Globe Front too . It is my Baby Buffalo rifle , for those delicious squirrels and bunnys I love to slaughter and eat so much . Sorry Jim , I love this Canadian more than you !!!!

The property I live on is 2 acres , with Moto-Cross track on it , hee hee hee .
Here it is , and yes I can hunt on it, live out in the sticks man ...
Backside of turn three , LOL !!!!
And yes , I am Indian , Pollish too , Seminole , from Florida-Alabama-Georgia tribes , mine being the Otter Clan and a couple others I don't know exactly , we mated back in the day but my origin is the Otter Clan . I am an American MUTT dog indian man . But it is my best side of my blood line no doubt ...

Later Dave, good memeries , thanks !!!!

Snortin out
Well Snortin'..
i reckon that means i ain't clean. (c: i smoke AND drink, but usually in a controlled fashion. On the days i do smoke, i smoke a few and drink a few beer or a bottle of wine. Nothin' over the top. i have this weird malady; if i drink too much or too fast, i get a headache right away (not the next day)... i smoke and drink on the weekends with the boys. Used to be chronic smoking it all the time. Too much of a good thing ain't good for ya!
Anyway, i know where LaConner is (not far from my home town of Langley) and i understand your missing BC bud! The stuff they have here is pretty good, but the stuff back home is pa'erful good stuff! Glad i could engage yer nostalgic drive for a wee bit!
That Stevens-Savage longs strange. The stock is huge compared to the barrel and the barrel looks tiny. Still, in the end, it ain't about looks, it's about hitting the target. So, illuminate me if ya could, what's button rifling and why's it make a gun so accurate?
Two acres ain't nearly big enough for me. i grew up on a 5 acre plot that had another 5 acre vacant plot next to it. Got used to roaming that as a kid and wanna do sommit the same. i'd like to get a plot on a south facing mountain side with a fast flowing creek on it to hook up a generating system to and plant an apple orchard in. When i come back to Canada with my millions, i want to go off the grid AND off the map. However, if it was a choice between what i'm living in NOW and your 2 acre plot, i'd MUCH prefer your set-up!

You boys and yer plinkin' wildlife ain't what i'm into. If i'm eatin' it, i reckon it's okay, but plinkin' critters without eatin' 'em is basic wanton slaughter and does a serious disservice to the land as well as show a terrible disrespect for the animals in it. IF the animal is over running an area as the American introduce cane toad of Australia, then i'd say open season. Otherwise my view is respect all forms of life, make as small a footprint as possible and allow God to bring the balance. There.. my metaphysical bit fer the day!

There was an entertaining (not for the birds they hunted) series of videos from these guys who drive around a city in Russia hunting crows out of the sunroof and after they roll the tinted windows down of the car they're in. One scene, they were at a red light with a bunch of cars behind them and in front of them, and they still mangaged to bring down a crow. Very powerful airguns, with some nice scopes. Very accurate, too.

My dad has a Beeman .22 airgun which is fun to shoot in the shed that is attached to his garage when I visit my parents in L.A., but I have yet to take it out to try some real urban hunting, LOL.

Real guns are great, when you have a gun in which the ammo is cheap. My rifles ammo used to be something like 1000 rounds/$85 USD, but has doubled that. Good thing that the deal I got gave me about 2000 rounds, the rifle, and 10 high capacity magazines for $300! I had some gang lowlife offer to buy the rifle from me "cash" but it would end up a few miles south of the border in the hand of some cartel in shootouts with the Mexican police/Mexican army. But if "cash" is $2500, I might consider arming the "enemy" as that might be a subjective viewpoint considering it's Mexico, and the cartels might be less dangerous than the police!! No, I'll never sell that gun.

Anyhow, Dave, I hope that you have good luck finding that motard. Snortin, I hope you keep bringing down the varmin that have the audacity to invade your property--freakin' rabbits and squirrels! Your people's land already was overtaken by the white man, and now the rabbits and squirrels want to continue that behavior?!?! Blast 'em!!!!!
i agree culcune! We're all a bunch o mutts! And i say "make it so!" The sooner we can breed "race" out of the picture, the better this world will be. Racial distinctions are counter productive. Political distinctions as well. Heck, even national distinctions. Imagine there's a huge meteor screaming towards Earth and we all have 3 years to figure out some way around it. The kind of brotherhood that would come from all countries forgetting their differences and focusing instead on their strengths would be amazing. Unfortunately i doubt it would last... ...and that's my social rant for the day! Dang it, where'd she put my soapbox anyway???

...And on that note, them Rooskies can be a crazy lot! Knew a bunch of them a few years back. Partied hard and caused more than their fair share of public annoyance. Gave a lot of the locals here a pretty dim view of foreigners. So i'm a man of seeming contradictions.. wanting all humanity to see themselves as one and then slagging the Rooskies as a bunch of party animals.. ***Sigh***

As far as guns go, my all-time favourite gun was this pellet gun we had when i was a kid. Dunno the make. Was one o those rifles that you crack in half and crank the barrel to cock it, then place a lead pellet in the barrel. Well one day all the local boys (was about 3 or 4 of us at the time) took the rifle and pulled the stock off and removed the retaining bolt on the cap that kept the spring from firing out the ass-end of the gun. Once we'd safely removed it, we stretched the shyte outta it, then it took 4 guys to get the thing back in the gun! We lost the retaining bolt and instead just fired a nail in the slot and bent it so it wouldn't come loose. (Gunsmithing at it's finest!). Anyway, once we got that thing back together, we took it outside and got some BBs instead of pellets and rolled them down the barrel. As long as we aimed level or up, the BBs would stay in the gun. When we fired that puppy we were amazed at the change! That thing had serious power! i remember one time we'd set up bottles in a few of the windows in the barn out back and were plinkin' away. One guy hit a one gallon wine jug there a winging shot, but it was powerful enough to pierce the glass! Once it pierced the glass though, it'd lost a lot of power and so couldn't get out the far side. Instead it whizzed around and round the inside of the jug and cut it clean in half like a glass cutter! Yeah we had some good times with that gun. Treated it like shyte but it kept on doin' it's thang! By the time i moved away as a teenager, our mailbox looked like it'd been hit plenty by a shotgun!

As for that motard, we heard back from a local dealer who rides as well as sells off-road bikes. He says he can get them for us at about 8000 yuan a pop! SUCH A DEAL! i'm PUMPED!!
So i'll be going back to Canada this summa with the li'l Lady and hopefully work-wise, i'll be able to come out of the trip with more money than i went into it with, in which case i'll be buying that motard in September when i return! Lookin' forward to that!

CDN out!
