What would never appeal to someone who is a hunter at heart (hunting for fun)
Hunting the Umerican way:
"There has been a big increase in so-called "exotic hunting", where guests not only go after indigenous species such as wolves and bears, but also blast away at imported zebras and giraffes. Convenience is essential for the hedge-fund crowd. Most exotic hunts take place in ranches from which the animals can't escape (Texas has 600). Exotic hunters can shoot elephants from cars or from the backs of other elephants, sometimes the orphaned calves of the victims of previous hunts. For the truly lazy there is "just-in-time shooting", where animals are trained to turn up at certain hours, and "internet shooting", where you can guide the gun from your desk."

I hear they have a ranch where you can hunt velociraptors.

If I remember right Cheney was at one of those farms when he misbehaved.

If I get a hunting permit I should be able to bag a few hunters along the way.
I understand hunting for food, anything else should be a two way street.

Well why do they call it tourist season if we can't shoot 'em?
And Marlow, how is shooting a lawyer misbehaving?

Did he shoot him? I thought he saved him.
Aha... first he shot him, then he saved him .. a real Umerican hero.

Well it certainly has the power TMC.
I just have a preference for pump action for maintaining sight picture.

Ron I would rather hunt with a Chaney than drive with a Kennedy.
Well, you'll just have to cross that bridge when you come to it.

my 30-06 is pricey to shoot, but sniping bottles at 200+ yards is hard to beat. Core lokt ammo is around ~85 cents a round. My buddy has a 10/22 that is good fun though for shooting birds. It's accurate out to 150 or so yards but at that range it doesn't really shatter glass bottles the same way an -06 does...

7.62x54R will do the same thing for much less...

I have a model 70 in 30-06, and do not have a nagant. Got a steal on the winchester and it shoots straight, I've heard mixed things about the accuracy of nagants, how easy is it to mount a scope on one?

not easy, I have had a scout version in "project" stage for years, the gunsmiths want to much to drill it. I also have the traditional scope mount and it also requires drilling, I can't remember who made it, mounts where the barrel meets the receiver. But I do have the sniper turn-down bolt and composite stock...the short carbine is a flame spitter, really fun to shoot, not very accurate at long ranges but it's a great scout rifle though, out to about 300 meters...I love how it kicks, nothing says "I kill you" like a ww1 rifle...and people think we go overboard with modern weapons, sh#t...these things were popping heads across no mans land at unspeakable ranges...I should get a nice matching number example, I have always loved the nagant.
oh, and if you're made of money the Tokarev SVT-40 (god I would love one of those) and Dragunov (most over priced piece of sh#t ever) both fire 7.62x54R...

here's an even better pic
It's in 308 but it's not an AR10...
some clues:
the receiver was in response to the M14
the original makers invented the most important feature of an artillery piece
they also designed the worst SAW known to man kind's history
and the rifle is 50 years old

duh.."
I say "Yep" you, say "Duh", I say Vulva, you say Volvo...
Either way the results are the same...
.22 cal WINS (unless you consider the BB gun)
I have a Remington 550, beautiful rifle, brass mag tube accurate as hell, a bitch to clean...perfect for teaching girls to shoot...
