Bolt Action or Double Rifle?

No ordinary man can run one of those babies. That hombre weidling those 6
barrels spitting death is none other than Minnesotas former govenor - Jessie
Ventura, the man we need in the White House.
The M134 http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/equip/m134.htm has a 28 volt
motor that took about 120 amps to run it. Jessie was a good many to carry
that gun around but he would have been better if he could have carried the
battery.

If I ever get so ****ed off at a lion that I have to kill him, I
won't
settle for anything less than a 90mm recoilless rifle (second generation

How about a back-pack Gatling gun like the one in the first Predator
movie? Now
THERE'S some firepower!

Lest you doubt:

From the page:

"Admittedly, the M134 were meant for mounted applications and never intend
to be
hand-held. Stembridge Gun Rentals, which provided firearms for film
productions
from 1916 to 1999, modified at least two real M134 for use in films such
as
'Predator' and 'Terminator 2'. The cyclic rate was reduced to 1700rpm in
order
to reduce torque and to lower the voltage required to power the motor whic
h
rotates the barrels. When Stembridge quit the gun rental business due to
the
oppressive legal climate in California, their set of modified M134 were
placed
up for sale. For $125,000, a qualified individual could buy one, including
the
associated movie props, spare parts, and live barrels. For additional
money,
Stembridge's Minigun wrangler Dan Sprague would provide instruction on its
use
and maintenance."

"What it all comes to is that the whole structure of space flight as it
stands now is creaking, obsolecent, over-elaborate, decaying. The field is
static; no, worse than that, it's losing ground. By this time, our ships
ought to be sleeker and faster, and able to carry bigger payloads. We
ought
to have done away with this dichotomy between ships that can land on a
planet,
and ships that can fly from one planet to another." - Senator Bliss
Wagoner

Stars_

Since this is a fishing newsgroup, I think I would go with the bolt
action in a 458 Winchester Magnum cause Ed Zern found it was the
perfect weapon to use while shooting fish in a barrel and it could also
be used for this.

....it is my belief that anyone in roff facing a charging lion or buff would
put the first load in his pants.

Well sure, but I'd say a lead-eyed Clouser would be a better bet. It's
more streamlined, so it carries better and flies straighter.

Of course, it could be that we are arguing apples and oranges here.
What sorts of big game do you usually chase on the Cheesehead Savannah?

Spotted buffalo:

Ah, a different subspecies. Down here it's the horny spotted
buffalo: http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/c...texaslonghorn/

Wait till you try taking one of these babies on a 7 wt.!

I use an 8-wt. myself. Can't throw those size 3/0 Clousers worth a
damn with anything smaller.

buggers......in a sorta grass green color.

The old Bessie bugger, eh?

Hmmm ... I never thought of trying to get them to *eat* the fly.
I've been trying to hit them with mine.

Thanks for the tips.

So is this where we're supposed to start a debate over C&R vs. C&K?

"Worldly and intelligent"?!

How long did you say you've been following this newsgroup?

I was taught to shoot to stun them. That way you can get them to help you
peddle your bike back down the mountain.
