OK, did some more "investigating". Lark, .270, was a member who hated the 7-08 and felt it was useless. He got angry about an April Fool's joke ( the changing of his name ) and left the site. A lot of poking fun at Lark has occurred. Search for Lark, or @Lark, on this forum and there are well over a thousand references. Sounds like fun times in some ways, but the legacy is dying? May be a poor choice of words. Interesting bit of site history. Maybe a revival, maybe not. Let me know how far off base I am.

I hadn't, so I looked up the meaning of Lark and that's all I know. Please let us newbies in on the joke.

Is it my imagination or are our summers getting longer ( measured by higher temperatures for a longer period of time)? Maybe it's just that I'm getting older. I posted this in a different forum and thought my fellow desert dwellers could relate. For those of you who have spent a summer in AZ, or who live here, I have a saying I think you will appreciate and relate to: "We live here (in AZ) because; if we are going to heck, we are already used to it. And if not, we can appreciate what we are missing!" I think summer is finally over, for this year. We wear jackets for temperatures below 85 degrees.

Like this?

Is this it?

Very reasonable in a time when unreasonable is the new norm or reasonable.

@Lark. The definition of Lark.🤣

And the price "dropped".😁

I heard Alaska had temps at -15 degrees the other day. I think I would be a Snowbird at that point.

One of my exact words was automatically edited by the program to heck. Still works.

Had to look it up. Learned something new? And yet I was a little familiar with the word from the past. Old age? Senility? A sign of the times? Hmm. Always something for thought on this forum.

Did you win that from Sportsman's?

If worst comes to worst, you can build an upper for your AR in 7.62 x 39. But I believe an AK has looser tolerances and with it's design it seems it will almost always function no matter how dirty it gets. Tough gun for sure. SKS may be a cheaper consideration, with or without a removable mag. Best wishes.

It's always fun to read all of the different opinions and see what pops up out of the wood work. I really enjoy this forum.

What brand, model? Bass Pro, Cabela's

I'll take it.

In today's market what is reasonable?

Victory was over $3,000.00 new plus the sportsman stud. Used my pair on my hunt. Awesome binos.

Not this time. But it's amazing how much you " get around". Brian used to live less than a mile away. Now he's a whole city away.

He bought another house and is in the process of moving. I became real busy and couldn't help.😁😁

You love seconds! Just kidding. How's the move?

Street legal and registered? Nice stereo setup with the speakers.

Very interesting.

We named ours red meat, dinner, etc Blackie was a black cow and did not give calves and ate more than her fair share. She was a hog. Nobody likes pigs, but hogs get slaughtered. So, this it was. She was the first animal we raised and ate. We sat down to eat and my oldest, age 9 at the time, said," Dad, mom...." And a long silent pause. And I thought, here it comes, she can't eat it. Then she said, "I'm glad Blackie was such a pig, she tastes good!" I knew then the kids would be alright with it. Wow, that was 17years ago. Time flies.
