Ed Pirie - No sporting purpose for an AR-15? An AR will work on a groundhog with a 52 gr. BTHP. Plus, if you shoot NRA hipower that's what you shoot. Don't let your highminded sense of sportsmanship prejudice you against those who might shoot with something other than a Parker or granddaddy's Model 73. We either hang together or hang seperately. Jim Zumbo deserves the spanking he is getting; obviously, when he's hit in the pocketbook his opinion changes. I can hear his wife now, "Honey, you better put those words back in your mouth so's we can make the mortgage payment." Cheers.
