Default Bullets raining from the sky (long)

Yes, and they went to the US military to help them with their little
going-away party for Koresh. They needed a compliant little snake in the
army. They found Wesley Clark. Boy, did his career skyrocket after that.
Reno and Clinton may have been abominations, but if you were their whore,
they paid well.

Waco was a tragedy, it looked like the BATF was making a
COPS show with all the troops in the camera. It wasn't a
well planned raid if the Davidians were expected to be
dangerous. And if they weren't dangerous, why the raid? I
think they wanted a movie to show Congress why they needed
more money. After the BATF started the shooting, they had
to kill as many as possible and burn the evidence. Would
have been better if they had just let the Sheriff or Rangers
walk in and if Koresh was a child molester, try him for
that. But Janet Reno had her tanks.


Yeah, they could have had the local Sheriff arrest him while he was out
jogging in the morning, but noooooo, they had to provoke a confrontational
situation... Let's see... You got a group of people who believe that the
world is going to end and be taken over by some sort of ultra-repressive
government... Well, why don't we all dress up in black clothes and attack
them... Hell, they'll give up, right? snicker Yeah, Koresh was a kook,
but so are many of the religious fanatics... As religious kooks went, he
was
actually one of the more harmless ones...

Like Mary McCarthy?

"Equally interesting is her meteoric rise within the intelligence community.
According to her bio, she joined the CIA as an analyst in 1984. Within seven
years, she had rise to a Deputy NIO position, and reached full NIO status by
1994. To reach that level, she literally catapulted over dozens of more
senior officers--and I'm guessing that her political connections didn't
hurt. By comparison, I know a current NIO, with a resume and academic
credentials more impressive than Ms. McCarthy's, who reached the position
after more than 20 years of extraordinarily distinguished service.
McCarthy's rapid advancement speaks volumes about how the Clinton
Administration did business, and sheds new light on the intelligence
failures that set the stage for 9-11. We can only wonder how many other
political hacks climbed the intel food chain under Clinton--and remain in
place to this day. "

NOTE: An NIO is the military equivalent of a four-star general.

I haven't had that rifle for at least a decade, you're
correct, LIBERTY.

It is not a goal of coyote hunters to kill cleanly with one shot. If you simply wound the animal and he slinks off
and dies that is good enough.



At that, it would be intersting to see how a liot handles the recoil
while controlling the airplane.


He doesn't. The shooter sits in the back.



I would imagine a CAR-15 or Ruger Mini-14 is used quite a bit.


Only by the idiots. A shotgun is the way to go.



News you've obviously never hunted coyotes for the hides. And Matt, you've most likely never shot coyotes with a 3
1/2 inch Mossberg Ulti-Mag with 4 buck. I've killed "song dogs beyond 50 yards" calling them in with turkey calls.
The 22-250 Ackley is my weapon of choice for long range predator hunting. The bullet leaves a vapor trail on a humid
morning. A 4200 fps screamer.

Not from an ultralight aircraft, no. Too, virtually all of my shotgun
hunting is upland, not waterfowl.

I have used a .25-06 in a heavy barrel Win M70 (pre-64) using 87gr Sierras,
and have nailed several at approximately 600 yards.

My .22-250 at present is a Savage M12-VSS with a Leupold Vari-X III
6.5-20x50mm LR Target which was tweaked by a local smithy. It's the only
vaminter I still have.

You are undoubtedly correct. I haven't touched that rife in about a decade!

This topic comes up from time to time, and for me it always recalls this
particular report:

Put a gun in the hand of a careless or stupid person and something will
eventually go wrong. Airplane or no airplane.

Hey, That's what I have on the Ackley Improved!
600 yds. is very impressive with any combo.
