No offense "1313" .... I kinda' take it for granted that Lady Liberty would want
something just a bit heavier ;

Bobitis · 07-15-2012, 04:25 PM

Forgive me, but that's an odd looking scope. What is it?

It's the Leupold 1-4x20mm Turkey scope with a heavy duplex reticle.

What caliber is it? It seems larger than a .223 but that's just me.

redwing carson · 07-15-2012, 10:27 PM

She being a Gentil lady of old manners and class. I think she would choose an East Tenn. Flint lock of clean lines and deicate balance. Something with a .44" Swamped barrel and tastful post 1812 soft metal trim. What I think.

Lady Liberty was born in France, sure she wouldn't want a FAMAS?

With her size, something in a 105mm for a sidearm would be appropriate...

jack404 · 07-15-2012, 11:41 PM

i'da thought something in the line of a cruise missile launcher full of w80's ( dial a yield )

but nice rifle eh !!

GunHugger · 07-17-2012, 10:04 AM

What are the specs?

All the pictures are of the right side for some reason so I can't see the lower brand.

I'll reserve comment until I know what it is.

Nice.

Just making sure you weren't hiding a Hess or Vulcan roll mark on the side we can't see.

You have my condolences for living behind enemy lines in NJ.

Fast Forward · 07-17-2012, 10:25 PM

I can see picture her Holding an M14 or a Garand

JLA · 07-17-2012, 10:27 PM

Just not mine..

redwing carson · 07-17-2012, 10:39 PM

Why would a French Iron woman that big need a rifle?

If I had a lot of extra cash I would put up two billboards on Route 78 at the NJ/PA border.

The one into NJ would say "Welcome to New Jersey: 2nd Amendment ends here"
The one into PA would say "Welcome to Pennsylvania: America starts here"

Cool weapon

Deacon_Man · 10-07-2012, 06:05 PM

Nice looking rifle. I think the Lady would look good with a .45-70 trap door. I know I would!
