Wasn't Ruger a big supporter of the Clinton gun laws because the Mini-14 and Mini-30 weren't affected?

I do kind of remember something like that. Doesn't surprise me. S&W sold us out too. I remember that one the most vividly Sell-Out Worse Than Originally Reported

Yup, you're right. I had forgotten some of the details but re-reading some of them in this link brought it back to sharp focus. Unfortunately it's common to use the law or lobbying to hurt others but help your company ...

Gaaack.. You are saying assault rifle again!?!

Unless we are talking a Sturmgewehr 44, the others are simply semi automatic weapons.

A sturmgewehr is about the only legitimate gun you should use the "assault" term on. Because it I quite literally a 'storm' or assault rifle.

Assault weapon / rifle is a made up media bonanza term..

So???

I'm back copying the mail and not commenting. You people have thin skins obviously.

It's not a thin skin issue.. it's whenver someone says that term.. it gives the media and politicians more ammo against us gun owners.

it's a fake made up term except for 1 gun series.. a german gun..

Beta-masters with their sky screens are too touchy. I have one on the shelf and never use it.

I'll buy it off you if you're interested in selling it. I like them, I shoot my bow's through them too.

I blew one of the uprights off and that was it. I had to replace it. Problem with the beta-master and other sky screen chrono's is that you have to align the firearm on the bench with the upright spacing and that is hard to do with high magnification scopes with a limited side FOV. The Euhler is different... no uprights and the Magnetospeed attaches the the end of the muzzle and senses the metallic bullet through induction.

I flat refuse to discuss any platforms other than sporting bolt action rifles or F class rigs from now on out. We can do pistols as well.

I'll keep it along with the multitude of other stuff I have on the shelf.

Got myself an Omega automated powder trickler (hard to get) last fall. A neat and very repetitive measure. In fact, I use it without a mechanical measure to throw pistol loads.

I use an Annealeze case annealer as well. I tend to anneal bottleneck cases after every 2 firings. Lapua and Norma cases are expensive and in my shooting discipline, neck tension is everything, hence, all my dies are bushing / bump dies.

Would you care to discuss with me why?:confused3:

I've had my Beta-master for about 20yrs. I like them. If you don't like or use yours anymore I'd be willing to buy it off you.

I don't like the magnetospeed as it won't work with my bow and I don't like anything touching my barrel while shooting unless it's a barrel tuner. Plus, to duplicate M2 ball (for Service Rifle competition), the velocity is measured 78ft (from memory so I might be off) from the muzzle.
