Gratuitous Gun Pic: Ruger M77 (7x57mm / 7mm Mauser)

Gratuitous Gun Pics

Some time back, an Evil Reader read my constant chatter about the wonderful 7x57mm cartridge, and sent me an email saying that he was making space in his ammo locker for more ammo, and as he didn’t have a rifle chambered for the 7mm Mauser, would I like the few boxes he had on hand?

Well, I didn’t (and don’t) have a rifle thus chambered either, but who turns down free ammo?  So a week or so later, there it was.

Which means that ever since then, I’ve been looking at 7mm Mauser rifles, and moaning piteously when I found one because NO MONEY.

This Ruger M77 in particular caused some heavy sighing:

…because it is exactly the kind of thing I’m looking for:   but I don’t have a spare grand floating around, and I don’t have any “spare” guns lying around that I want to sell, either.

And here I sit, 7x57mm in Ye Olde Ammoe Locquer and no gun to shoot it with.

Sometimes, I wonder if it’s all worth it.  [exit, kicking the cat]

Bad News

Like many people, I don’t watch Presidential State Of The Union speeches (of either party), because I only have so many TVs in the house and so many bullets to shoot at them.

Seriously, I don’t like hearing from Government, in detail, of how they’re planning to fuck me over the next year.

So I generally read VodkaPundit’s live drunkblog of the whole thing because a. I like Stephen and b. it’s way funnier than what’s actually being said  (e.g. during a George W. SOTU, “I do believe the President’s pants just caught fire”).

However, last night Steve went beyond the pale with this comment:

“Liz Warren just spontaneously orgasmed when Biden said he’d raise taxes.”

Clearly, our esteemed commentator forgot the Iron Rule, i.e. that “Elisabeth Warren” and “orgasm” should never be put in the same sentence.  The mental image is just too ghastly for a civilized man to deal with.

Today’s Roundup is brought to you by:

And on we go:


…ah yes, another argument for letting computers run everything.


…although they’ve probably kept back enough to be used against their own citizens, the fascist fuckers.


…let’s just see what happens if Gummint tries tries to push this shit on us again.


…some filthy sexist probably asked why all their rape victims are women.


…


…can’t win, so why bother? [snigger]


…should have just called the toilet “undersized” instead.


…key word:  California.


…oh, just fuck off and peddle your fake panic somewhere else.  We have bigger things to worry about, e.g. this:


…oy, here we go again…

And still on that silly topic:  INSIGNIFICA!!!

 

…as Our Britney gets both a dick stick from her latest boyfriend, and a head of steam [sic]  going for a Train Smash.

Finally, here’s something newsworthy:  ITV newsreader Lucrezia Millarini.

Quite delectable.

Gratuitous Gun Pic: Mossberg Patriot (.308 Win)

Gratuitous Gun Pics

After yesterday’s custom Mauser 98 at a nosebleed price, here’s something a little more reasonable, and American, chambered for a proper Murkin cartridge (right-click to embiggen):

And the action:

I rather like that spiral-cut bolt, oh yes I do.

I don’t know much about the Patriot line, but given that it’s a Mossberg, it shouldn’t suck too badly.

And the price ($500)… that’s much better.  Add a halfway-decent piece of glass on it (e.g. this one), and the rig should be fit for purpose.

Of course, I personally think the plastic “camo” stock sucks green donkey dicks, but I suppose it’s all part of the cost-cutting, and marketing to all the wannabe “operators” out there.  [sigh]

New Blood Needed

Elections

Longtime Readers may remember that I held our former House Rep, the late Sam Johnson (PBUH) in the highest regard, and while I understood why he retired (age, Vietnam POW, etc), I was sad that he did, sadder still when he passed away last year.

He was replaced by a slightly oily little worm whom I’d actually met prior to his election as Mr. Sam’s replacement — but as he was the best of a rather poor bunch, I voted for him.

How times have changed.  Today is primary day, and Van Taylor is being challenged by several Republicans in the Third District.

Just so we’re all clear as to why Taylor’s being challenged, this slimy little RINO voted in favor of the disgusting Jan 6 House Commission (one of two Texas reps, and one of twenty-three Reps nationwide to do so).   He’s proven himself to be a Never-Trumper, and I’m not going to vote for him.  (He’s also been caught bonking some chick in Washington, but I don’t care as much about that as the other stuff.)

Looking over the candidates, former judge and arch-conservative Keith Self seems to have the right stuff:

Infantry Platoon Leader, Special Forces Detachment Commander, Company Commander, as the Executive Officer to a Major General in Egypt, responsible for managing $2 Billion in security assistance.  In addition, Keith served in Joint Staff assignments in US European Command and later in NATO Military Headquarters in Belgium.
During his career, Keith received the Master Parachutist Badge, Ranger Tab, Special Forces Tab, and held some of the highest level of security clearances. He retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Upon retiring from the U.S. Army after 25 years of service, Keith ran for and was elected County Judge in Collin County. In that position, Keith stood up for us when others wouldn’t—cutting taxes 25%, defending private property rights, and solving the pension crisis.

See you at the polls today, Judge.
