Last time I went off-shore out of Ocean City, MD there was 6 of us and we caught 400 pounds of Tuna.  When we got back to the dock the two guys from NYC said there was no way for them to keep any so thaty took a 5 pound chuck of tuna and let the rest of us split it 4 ways.
 
Everybody on my street (10 houses) and a couple people at work got some fresh tuna that trip!!!

  I LUV all seafood.  D'd shame that ALOT of freshwater fish aren't safe to eat.  I live near the S. Branch of the Potomac.  It use to be one of the top smallmouth bass rivers of the east.  Now we're told to limit our consumption to a couple times a month.  NO THANKS.

Ugh... Earl....they say the same thing about Moonshine....Shocked
 
The river have gotten much better than they used to be!  Susquehanna River is the same way!
The worse poluter on the river and for the whole Chesapeake Bay....Aberdeen Proving Grounds and Edgewood Arsenal!!!  Both are exempt from any discharge restriction.

Scooter has a thread on this going now. I found it after I posted my question....here is WAY more to this then a litle boy getting shot accidently by his Mom, VERY SAD.. Yes it is!
   I saw people setting off the rifles by simply touching the safety, did not even touch the trigger! They interviewed people that used to work for Remy and they TALKED if you know what I mean.. I cannot explain it all in 2 minutes, yes you guys have to watch this show.. Its really not media hype as far as I can tell.....My rifle will be here today, 5R and I will have it checked out close.....

Yes, and what I understand it was never ever fixed. They would not recall, and for whatever reason it was not changed... Im thinkin they changed the trigger a few years back but it did not resolve the problem, thats what this show was saying......Im curious what happens now, this show last night must have hurt em... It also showed how they were caught in the lie..
Gotta go engrave stuff

Jules the new X Mark Pro's are a completely different design than the old model from everything ive read and seen. If that show said otherwise they are completely off base.

You are probably correct PaulBucky
 
Funny thing, they never did bring up the new trigger.....I don't really understand,  I mean I would imagine the information they cut loose and the old Remy employees bad mouthing Remington.. Somebody is gonna lose ALOT of money in gun sales.....If you watched it then you would understand what Im saying.....Im not taking sides either way! as Im still not sure what the hell the truth really is.....
 
Speaking of new triggers, Do you like the  X mark pro trigger Paul?

I really think it has potential. I'm not used to a trigger on a rifle that light. It's set at just over 2.5 lbs. The very first shot i pulled, went off WAY sooner than i expected. Bucky But i posted the pictures from my outing and you got to see what kind of accuracy the rifle has. Trigger has a lot to do with that.

I shoot a Sendero from time to time, and I thought it had a lawyer proof trigger on it already. It has got to be set at 8-9 lbs, almost as heavy as an AUG trigger. The trigger is the main reason I can't get groups under 7/8".
I had a friend that went to a Remington armorer's course. He said they talked about the 700 triggers, and that if a rifle came in for any repair and they found that the trigger had been tampered with in any way or replaced with another trigger, they (Remington) would replace the trigger and bill the customer for it.
I wonder if the X-Mark trigger can be used to replace the standard 700 trigger?
