      I just was posting on the jeeprubiconforum last week about play toys. I know it's not a driven toy, but here it is. One of my favorites.

      Ruger MarkII M77 Allweather Tactical with the Skelaton Stock! The scope is a 3x9x50. It's 270 Winchester, but I'm shooting a 200grain load, and only use Winchester Supreme Ballistic Tip. I have them custom loaded for me. It's a round that Ruger strongly suggested I not try!!!

      none of this makes sense? Winchester doesnt even offer a 200g .277 bullet let alone supreme ballistic tip as a componant . (200g .277 bullet for thin skinned game makes no sense at all)

      Are you sure you didnt make an error?

        I'll check the paper work the loader gave me! It's quite possible! I'm actually not a real gun guy, just like to have a few toys. I'm still learning about the querks of firearms. For the most part the technical dealings with ammo & rifles is confusing on a good day! They are over loads, and the reasoning for the high graing on thin skinn is the distance I'm pulling off! I have taken kill shots at over 250yds. I sighted the rifle at 225yds, and hold a 3/8" grouping. I never got the same results out of lighter ammo. I played around with many different styles, and combination to get what I wanted. The lighter ammo (130g/150g) has a huge drop after 125/150yds. The heavy ammo suprised me, and still has a drop, but a more gradual, and constant drop. The light stuff will lose momentum at a faster rate on longer distance! The idea is to have the ability to use this gun to hunt, and still shoot a quarter at 150yds to show off! It will do that as of now, and has recently been resighted at 175yds. It was becoming a PITA to compensate forthe lack of drop on short distance shots!

              Thanks! I just got a RE 2" BB lift & put on a week ago! It's actually flexing out better with the RE lift & stock springs, than it did with 2.5" spring lift. It also rides 10 times better!

                Hey,
                Believe it or not, The CJ, even with the goodyear ag tires rides better than the Tj on road. Don't know why, they tout the TJ's as riding so well untill you lift them.
                Even at low air it's still very stiff.

                  Oh I believe it alright! Looking back I should have got a 97 TJ chopped the fenders off, put 33's on it & beat the hell out of it. I could be riding around in my rubi, bone stock, and comfortable!

                    Not my own toy, but a friends. Whipper and him would make a pair, he's a metal cutting tool designer and maker. Of course video never does the situation justice.. this car is a couple inches off the ground, with 13" or so of rubber all around.

                      I used to race autocross in my old Citations. A lot of fun for little money.

                            Well that's boring. Seriously, that's awesome. BTW, Do you use Mid-Valley Shift levers that are splined for indexing? Just curious, because they are in Mooresville & we do all their spline work. You should do very well building that Attex racer.

                              i've used some mid valley transmissions/ shifters with other team in the past, but we don't use them, their stuff is pretty nice! i'm 30 and been in racing in one form or another for 22 years, so the prospect of building the attex racer seemed like a fun way to blow way more money than i really have to spend. it should be on the ground tomorrow if i can stuff the tires under it. then i'm down to the trany and carburator. should be slinging dirt soon

                                I just saw the miata video. I love those rotary engines. I've got oe in a 93R7. My friends with corvettes can never get a grasp of how the engine works or the power to displacement ratio. I've got a Miata daily driver with a supercharger on it, but it is nothing like the 13B in the RX7.
