S'nail'd it
Ha
Ah ha



EDIT: Also bought a lever action 30-30 and an M31
M31 is basically a PPSH only 9mm and from a decade ago

the armory keeps growing. pretty soon it will have its own gravity.

One of the few guns I have gotten rid of was a Winchester 30-.30 lever action.  I could never hit a damn thing with it, and I sold it to help raise money to buy a bolt-action .308 and scope.

Just so long as you didn't blame the tool for not being able to hit a damned thing

[Nuke]

ive used scopes before and i dont really like them. my first attempts at duck hunting was sucessful and i dont think that shotgun even had sights. but ive lost bucks because the scope was fogged up or whatever. i think i will stick to iron sights.

[deathfun]

The optics I have all make sense to have. .50 BMG rifle? Sort of needs an optic if I'm going to use it for 500+ yard shooting (specially since iron sights aren't a thing on it)

WWII Mosin PU Variant? Well, because history
And the scout optic I have is if I ever decide to slap it on my tacticool Mosin, but that's currently got a red dot on it

Nope, pretty sure it was the user!  I was young and impatient and lazy, so I preferred a scope to the time spent practicing with iron sights.  It was a top-eject model so it would have required a side mount scope on the left side, but I shoot left handed (plus I think it would have looked ridiculous).  The Ruger M77 Mk.II Ultralight I got to replace it didn't even come with iron sights.

After my dad out-shot me with his bolt-action .22 with iron sights against my scoped semi-auto, I finally realized there was something to gain from the fundamentals learned using iron sights, and I started practicing more that way.  It has improved my skills all around.  As I am teaching my kids to shoot, I am making sure they are proficient with iron sights before I let them try with a scope. 

My optics make more sense now, too. 
 - I have a 3-9x variable scope on my .308, as we hunt on a combination of wooded areas with open fields.  If I ever replace the scope, though, I may go to a 2-7x variable.
 - My Marlin .22 has a 4x scope,
 - but my shorter ruger 10/22 has iron sights.  BTW, the iron sights on my 10/22 suck; anyone have any good recommendations, without breaking the bank? 
 - My AR-15 has iron sights, but I have been considering a non-magnified red dot for it.
 - all my handguns and shotguns have stock iron sights/beads. 

I particularly like the target sights on my ruger 22/45.  Even with a 4" bull barrel, that thing is a tack driver.  I'm not a particularly good shot, but I have put a whole box of cheap .22 ammo through a half-dollar size circle at 25 yards (shooting from a bench).

Hey Snail good to see you still kicking arround

Alright, so since I have very little guidance right now I am actually going to be very personal right now because I sort of need help

About thirty minutes ago, I had gone for a walk to a nice little place overlooking where I live, loaded a gun and placed it to the side of my head

Obviously I didn't go through with it and this is far from attention seeking I'm looking for here.
I chose to live, and I think I needed to do this in order to truly see that.

As a little note, no I am not a danger to myself anymore. Little on the loopy side sure, but no longer a danger

Call a suicide hotline, right now.  Please.  Don't wait.  You're Canadian, right?  Here's a list of crisis centers in Canada.  The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline based in the US also handles Canadian callers.  Do this now.  I know you say you're not an immediate danger to yourself, but you need to talk to someone.

[Nuke]

or find the office of a suicide hotline and shoot it up.

needless to say the last time i tried to kill myself i think i decided that it was more interesting to go along for the ride see what happens. also i was tripping balls because pills. suicide should be reserved for when things are irrecoverably wrong, such as when the cops are busting down your door.

sorry mods for flooding your inbox with moderation requests.

I agree. Even if you believe you're past it, speaking to someone is important. You'd be surprised how much something as simple as this can help.

Shut the **** up, Nuke; you're not helping.  As someone who was previously suicidal, it would've been very easy to take that post seriously.

@deathfun: I don't know how to help you.  I rid myself of suicidal tendencies by reading Buddhist scripture.  I don't think that will work for everyone.  As with others who aren't Nuke, I suggest talking with people who are experienced with this sort of thing.  Even if you're not suicidal anymore, they can help you get through the fact that you were nearly ready to take your own life.

[Nuke]

nothing anyone says helps when one is suicidal. if anything it makes you hate something other than your self. actually that probibly explains any success rates that suicide hotlines have.

i just had a monte cristo, it was delicious.
