Gentlemen, I have been here for the duration and my unselfish contributions to Optics Talk have apparently gone unnoticed. It appears that there are a group of members here who refer to themselves as the Gang of Five under the cover of darkness. OK, I have wiped the tears away, and I am requesting that I be considered should one of the members suffer an untimely death. I promise never to post opinions without the endorsement of at least 3 federal governmental agencies, a priest, Rabi or multi-denominational figure head as witness to my observations and personal experience with binoculars and riflescopes. Lord, hear my prayers.

What do you mean Roy, you are the American Sportsman. You have posted more fish than anybody

Nice guns, too.

Oh yeah, dead deer. Chris has you on the hunting pics, though.

As the official spokesman and chief expert I feel it is just to much work for me. I feel like I have been spead thin

and my true potential has not been demonstrated yet, therefore I must surrender one of my titles. Roy if you

accept I would like to apoint you chief expert. Tahqua if you would like to join us I have a very hard test for you

to prove your allegiance as the seventh, it demands for you to state your position on 3 subjects.

 

 

1.Barnes Bullets

2.leupold riflescopes

3.ATV's

The Gang of 5 is sooooo covert, that even the very members.....uh...aren't sure if they are actually in The Gang of 5 or not yet.

 

So in short Roy, you may already be a member and just not know it.

Stand by for further updates as they develop.

 

I think I'm a member, but I have always liked Barnes bullets....  So my membership may be in jeopardy.

So, in short, would it suffice if I just submitted a pair of my underwear?...

Roy, I'm pretty sure that you are one of Rootmanslim's "Gang of 5" but only he knows for sure.

So, is it like a hit list then? Are their lives in eminent danger?

 

Man that just sucks.   I never get placed on anyone's hit list.

Assuming that I am a part of the Gang of Five (and since we, apparently, refer to ourselves under the cover of darkness, the dark lord of optics just has to be included), I hereby solemnly declare that all parcels, envelopes, cardboard boxes, cardboard tubes and other types of packages directed to the Gang of Five and that look like they might, even remotely, be capable of containing rifledude's (or anyone's, for that matter) underwear or the urine, stool, blood, etc samples will be:

A) returned to sender with a lengthy letter written exclusively in Cyrillic letters (the translation I'll leave up to you; the only hint I can give you is that none of those words would make into printed media)

B) forwarded to SWFA for storage somewhere in Texas desert (or their optics museum; that's up to Chris).

So far I do not know for sure who is a part of the Gang of Five.  I am pretty confident that Cheaptrick , Roy, Trinidad and myself are, but I am not sure who the fifth member is.   There are quite a few candidates, though.

What the hell happened?

 

I leave for like 4 days and you guys are preparing to fight a civil war. I thought all this crap was gone, when I left everything was in order, even slim wasn't too bad. What are we ar15.com now? I can tell you that Cheaptrick, koshkin, and myselft saw it coming and somehow it happened anyway...

 

leupold is practically charging you to look at there scopes

 

Barnes bullets have about 20grains of deviation and shoot like crap

 

ATV's are sick, and everyone should own one.

I'm the only one that knows anything around here. Don't ask me any questions though because i don't know anything

HMMMM

Leupold one of my favorites even though they are overpriced and could use better glass.

 

Barnes bullets Well the 285 and the 250 for the 50 cal Musket just ROCK other than that I have some funny blue .375 H&H bullets that are a novelty but leave blue dust everywhere when loading the rest I don't use. I go to Sierra for.30 cal 190, 175 and 168 SMK bulletsl and Horniday for the molly 168 AMAX (awesome) and Horniday 300 hpt in .458 for 45-70 for handgun calibers I'll use anything I can find.

 

ATV's I have a Kawasaki Prairie 650 but hindsight being 20-20 I should have kept the Ford 5610 tractor and sold the ATV rather than keeping the ATV like I did, but it is helpful for hauling the deer back out of the woods at my farm. I really do miss that tractor when it comes time to plant food plots and I have to go beg at the neighbors to get a couple of spots disked up. I should get one of those seeders for the back of the ATV and finish fixing up my JD pull behind sprayer. I could also use a snow plow for the front of my ATV. They do have some redeaming qualities if the user is a responsible adult.
