Summon the Baleful Harbinger

[ScotchRobbins]

If you could own any one car on earth, no questions asked, what would it be?

[Orodrist]

Assuming we're sticking to four wheeled vehicles when you say car, I'd just keep my Chevy and put a bigger engine in it.

[ScotchRobbins]

Because your response intrigued me, let's broaden our perspective to more or less than four wheels.

[Orodrist]

A 1950 6T Triumph Thunderbird 660

[ScotchRobbins]

Ah. Motorcycle enthusiast. Gotcha.

[Chozon1]

That's not just a motorcycle; pretty sure that's "the" motorcycle.

Minimags or normal .22 LR?

[Orodrist]

I've been shooting CCI Minimags but that mostly because they're what walmart stocks in 1600rnd cans. I prefer the round nose variety over hollowpoints, because blahblahblah aerodynamics and ballistic coefficients and a bunch of other junk that doesn't make a crap of difference because you're shooting a .22LR and not competing. That said, you can always buy bulk Remington Golden Bullets, Federal Auto Match etc and you'll be fine. I've literally shot tens of thousands of rounds of that stuff. Now...if you reaaallllly are taking accuracy seriously, buy Lapua or Wolf Match. I won't shoot that stuff but it's the best make .22 ammo on the market by most accounts. Like...Olympic grade ammo. And it costs like $175/500 for the Lapua stuff whereas Remington GB is $25 and CCI's are $100/1600.

Honestly it's a friggin .22 just buy whatever you won't notice a difference.

Hmm...actually, I've a box of CCI Minimags (which, being a decade old and of questionable storage, I am almost afraid of firing) and a box of American Eagle .22LR, and I didn't know if there was a difference besides marketing. XD

I still haven't shot the blasted rifle yet, either. -_- No excuses, just haven't done it.

Should I be insulted that my sister is afraid of me owning a rifle?

AE is decent stuff, just standard velocity. I've shot a good 2k rounds of it with no problems. Worst that will happen shooting old ammo is a hangfire. If it doesn't go off when you pull the trigger, wait ten seconds before ejecting the shell. Or, if possible recock the gun without ejection and try to fire it again.

Do what I did and give your sister a rifle.

[Chozon1]

I'll remember that. Dunno if I can recock it without ejecting the shell though...blast, I know nothing about guns. O_O

Also, my sister lives in Memphis. So though a gun would be needed, it is of questionable legality.

Nashville?

[Orodrist]

Meh

[Chozon1]

'Sposed to visit their a few weeks hence. Seems to be a rather large concert venue.

Pontificating?

[Orodrist]
