summerjack58, Glad to see that you took the initiative to research your own question. Nice work! /back to cold fusion...

That's just your OCD talking now

Read it three times. Still doesn't make any sense.

Statistically, a defensive driving course or a course in safe food preparation would be more practical than purchasing a firearm strictly for the purpose of home defense. Keep your money and keep the Remington.

The casting isn't set by the shims. The shims merely set the drop. The cast on or off is set by the use of the RH or LH locking plate. [ 06-11-2005, 06:08 PM: Message edited by: tucker301 ]

It's twice the gun.

Step 1 is now complete. 11 more to go. [ 06-10-2005, 11:48 PM: Message edited by: tucker301 ]

its it's pyscho's psychos . your you're perscribe prescribe

rediculously? ballons?

Ahhhhhh... to be a teenager again

I use a small yellow plastic zip tie on my luggage. Looks like every other piece has red tape on it. If you're not using a sling, run one through the front sling mounting hole on the mag. cap, or strap one around the barrel, running under a rib bridge and snip it off close. If you are using a sling, attach it to the front sling ring.

I like the Grenade Launcher

There is no site. That's why the phone number was given.

I think the initial troll was all about the battle anyway. In some ways, his actions and tactics are no diferent than those of PETA. Attack the other side. Nothing open to discussion. Completely inflexible and oblivious to facts. Hunters don't kill ducks, robots kill ducks! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Its obvious that you are terrified they will be banned and then you won't be able to shoot a duck by simply using the few hunting skills necessary to shoot a defenseless duck. I never once indicated that I use a motorized decoy in my hunts, so I'm not sure where that came from. I've duck hunted for over 25 years without it, and will more than likely continue to do so. My whole problem with you, A-G-A-I-N is that you are using the technologies that suit you and griping about the ones that don't. ****************************************** WEBSTER'S NEW UNIVERSAL UNABRIDGED DICTIONARY ****************************************** hypocrite: 1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs. 2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

Originally posted by sprigsss: If I would go back to using all the tools I used when I first started hunting I would be as successful as I am today. Could I get a shovel, please? Sure I own neoprene waders, a gortex jacket and a GPS. The GPS is strictly a safety device in case I get fogged in, it does not help me shoot more ducks. Of course it does. It gives you the confidence to go out and stay in conditions that would otherwise make you stay home. The gortex jacket keeps me dry and warm, but I always stuck it out if I was cold and wet (unless I was dangerously cold and wet) so that doesn't help me get more ducks, Duh! What do you think keeps you from getting dangerously cold and wet?! I also wear neoprene waders, but before I had waders I used a pirogue and pushpoled my way to my blind, so the waders do not help me shoot more ducks. pirogue = technological advancement = artificial advantage Why are you not getting this? At the same time if I used all of these products, it would have no effect on other hunters. The fact that you're there at all affects other hunters, so I don't want to hear that. I don't care if you use your robo, they are legal. I don't care if you set up right next to me, Then why have you been bichin' about it for days and days? I know exactly how important facts are. I've used nothing but facts to make my decision. BS! The only fact you're concerned with is the fact that one newbie with a robo can pull in ducks all day long while you're quacking and cackling your butt off trying to sweet talk a duck into your spread. You say it doesn't bother you, but it obviously does bother you quite a lot. In fact, my diagnosis is, "obsession". You might as well go to the local city park and blast away at some tame ducks that are running to you for some bread. Now THAT sounds like some fun!

Heat pump or gas? Looks great! Can't wait to see it in action. Should be awesome with a couple of roboducks flopping around out there

That's a whole lotta clip for just one shot!

You are still defining "hunting" selectively, by accepting the technologies which have benefited you to this point, yet denouncing those which have diminished your advanatages over others in recent years. I know you don't see it that way, or can't, or won't, but the fact remains nonetheless. Technological advances have always affected hunting by lessening the degree of inherent skills and abilities in humans required to attract game into range and to take game once in range. It began with the rock, and it now includes EVERY device and EVERY instrument YOU use to take ducks in your so called skilled hunting experiences. Every item of concealment, every item which prolongs your exposure to the elements, every single thing from the rock up is a tool which you have utilized to increase your chances of taking game. Your refusal to use the latest innovation merely shows your inability or unwillingness to evolve beyond your present state. In a true "survival of the fittest" situation, YOU would be the only endangered species here. [ 06-06-2005, 07:35 PM: Message edited by: tucker301 ]

The balck finish on the nova is the same as the SBE's, etc. It's not as durable as gunkote, but it appears to be more closely akin to it than parkerizing. Unless it's pitted and crusty, you may want consider using gunkote on the 870 before you toss it out. http://207.44.229.182/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=gk http://www.mrarms.com/ My advice is not infallable and I always welcome others to correct me or add to what I have contributed. I would also appreciate not being singled out as an expert in any way. Fact is, I simply have more global access to the net than do some of the others who frequent these boards. It's always better to have the thoughts and opinions of the many (excluding The_Gun_Guy of course ) than it is to have one individual's input. [ 06-06-2005, 04:30 PM: Message edited by: tucker301 ]

You don't get it because you won't allow yourself to see beyond your own opinions. Hopefully, you're not applying the same short-sighted mindset to your studies. I'll try once more. The roboduck and mojo decoys are still decoys. They are different from the decoys that you yourself use only in that their motion more closely emulates the natural appearance of live ducks. If you didn't believe that better decoys improved your chances, you wouldn't be so careful to make sure that the strings are not visible and that the paint jobs are accurate and bright on the decoys you now use. Put a brand new set of decoys out in one blind, and put an old worn out set in the next blind. With equal callers, the ducks will be more likely to go to the more natural looking decoys. Your real problem is that the robotic decoys are proving to be a better a draw than all the calling you can muster. It's not that it's unfair. It simply negates all of the time and effort you have invested into learning to call well. If you were a truly skilled caller, you wouldn't need the aid of a man-made device to make your calls seem more lifelike and realistic. When I turkey hunt, I use no man-made locators because I can effectively emulate crows and owls with my own voice. This means I'm a more skilled caller than others who can't do this, but they make up for it by the use of artificial devices. I harbor no ill feelings towards them, even though I know that if their artifical calls were illegal I would have the upper hand, because of my advanced skills. A truly skilled hunter is the one who uses whatever is legally available to him to gain the advantage over his quarry. The fact that other hunters in your area use the robos while you refuse to merely proves to me that they are more skilled than yourself, because they have recognized the vast adavntage of using the motion decoys and adapted accordingly. I don't know how to debate the point any further with you, so unless you bring something new to the table, I'm finished with this discussion. [ 06-06-2005, 01:45 PM: Message edited by: tucker301 ]

Thompson TC22 Benchmark is my .22 of choice. The standard model is OK too.

If you'd bothered to read the post, you would have seen that I fully disclosed the means of obtaining the information. Weren't you preaching on here a while back? Isn't envy considered to be a deadly sin? Sorry so long getting back to you on this one GG. I was out of town touring topless bars all weekend. [ 06-05-2005, 08:49 PM: Message edited by: tucker301 ]

W. That's the exact sling I'm using on several guns, including me SBEII.
