    Left for Ft. Lost in the Woods around June 1991. My soldiers started calling me "Old Glory" on our last deployment (I was the second oldest in the platoon), but here I feel like a young'un......Essayons

Believe me $50 didn't go far in AK in the late '70s during all the pipe line construction either.
    Yep, know what you mean about Carter. Bought my first house during his administration, interest rate was 19.4%.

    Having graduated from Oklahoma St. and walking out of IAD August 1973, I was looking for a bus to Quantico Va.. I walked up to a guy in a funny hat and asked is this the bus to Quantico? His answer, "Get on the fxxxxn bus maggot", That's when the fun started and I haven't been the same since.

    Thanks for taking over for us old farts. When you get out some young buck will pick up the torch for you also. Be safe.

    300 AAC Blackout Chambering Cancelled:


    Some time ago, Savage announced it would be chambering the Model 10 Precision Carbine in 300 AAC Blackout. Since that time, we have tested many variants of this cartridge in various barrel lengths and rates of twist. This exhaustive testing left us quite unsatisfied with the accuracy we were able to get from the subsonic loads in this chambering. Accuracy with the lighter, faster loads in this caliber was actually quite good. But we believe the real value in this cartridge lies in the use of subsonic loads for suppressed rifles. Therefore we have decided to scrap the project.
    It is our understanding that pushing these heavy, slow bullets presents challenges not found in typical loadings and that our experience is not unique. Subsequently, many in the industry have simply adopted a lower standard for accuracy for these subsonic loads. While this does seem reasonable and we don't criticize any in our industry that have taken this approach, it just won't work for Savage.
    Our brand was built on accuracy and we are too protective of our reputation for building the most accurate factory rifles available. We would rather walk away from this opportunity than sell a product that requires an explanation.

    I dont feel as young anymore, haha. Enlisted 23 Sep 1999 into the US Army, spent the majority of my active duty time at Schofield Barracks with a 2 year stop at Ft Hood in between. Went Hawaii ARNG in 2009 the day I left active duty, and IST'ed to Texas ARNG in 2011.
