    Well, Mr. Shareholder, why don't you get them to crank up production? :diacanu:

    Up 7% today. Thanks boys. I didn't think you had it in you.

    9.5% total.

    Blood letting on Wall Street today, but Vista is only down 1% today and still up 8.5% since I bought it.

    Thanks!

    I'm flush with 5.56, 7.62, and 30.30. I neglected handgun ammo though, I've got enough defensive ammo, but no range ammo. :(

    I went to the range a couple of weeks ago, and diminished my stash by 100 rounds of .357 Magnum and 50 of .32 ACP, but I'm not in danger of running out anytime soon: before California's law against mail ordering ammo took hold, I ordered a shit-ton. I'll have 9mm, .45 ACP, and 5.56mm to leave to my next of kin.

    Have you checked the best by date?

    I may have to order a product safety recall.

    And after the carnage on WS, VSTO is down 3% from when I bought it.

    You guys aren't holding up your end.

    Hot diggity dog, Vista Outdoor is up like a rocket. It recovered from last week's retreat nicely yesterday and now it's set to skyrocket. Virgin Galactic wishes it was going this way.

    I'd be happy to buy some if a), I could find any and b), it was reasonably priced.

    $1+ a round for common calibers is a no-go, boomer.

    Ok I netted $40 (sending it to PETA) and reinvested in a natural foods company.

    Carry on.

    VSTO down 21% this morning. What's up with that? Anyway I'm back in. See if I can make PETA happier.

    Financial analyst wogs say the lack of violence in the election resulted in all gun stocks going down.

    I predict as tensions rise so will the stock. Timing is everything. Would you guys let me know how your emotions are running?

    Up 4% from when I bought it.

    Nice! Which model of PTR91?

    I DROSed the Glock 21 on Saturday. Not sure there will be a Gun-of-the-Month in December (other things to pay for), but I was tempted to put a Browning Hell's Canyon BAR on layaway. Alas, wrong calibers; the store only had .270 WSM, .300 WSM, and .30-'06. Those are all good calibers, but the '06 is less than what I want and the WSMs aren't that popular (that's why they still had those). I want it in .300 Win. Mag. Bet I could find ammo for that.

    A GIR, so it has the top rail. I stuck my EOTech on it, and got a G33 magnifier for it (not to mention the $5 mags). I want to get the wide handguard and bipod, but they seem to be scarce at the moment.

    Guys, thank you. Your efforts and those from like minded gun owners have helped fund PETA for a total of $129.00 including this latest donation of $87.82. Keep up the good work.

    thanks Steve! I'm a big PETA supporter myself, along with a few more animal charities. Just don't depend on my ammo purchasing to influence prices - the store shelves around here are bare so there's nothing to purchase anyway. That said the kitty in your pic has a discolored area in it's left eye....somebody might want to get that checked out by a veterinarian!

    Giving money to PETA might be a good troll, as long as you don’t expect you’re actually going to be helping any animals. :marathon:

    It's far more efficient to donate directly to your local animal shelters like my family does.
