Back in the '90's we all kept asking why Lon wasn't in jail, or pushing up daisies for that matter. Murdering "just following orders" POS. Great write-up, thanks. McMillan or B&C, got it.

Murdering “just following orders” POS.

Great write-up, thanks. McMillan or B&C, got it.

I just read Jess Walter’s "Ruby Ridge". Dead-eye Lon shot at Randy Weaver under the shoot-on-sight R.O.E., and only wounded him. Then Lon shot at Kevin Harris, resulting in a wound instead of a kill. Later, he claims to have been firing at Kevin Harris when he shot Vicki Weaver in the head. That’s 0 for 3. From a shooting skills perspective, how does this performance justify an endorsement for a precision-marksmanship product? Leave aside the whole murder/manslaughter issue.

My last stock for a Savage Varmint rifle was a B & C for less cash and same quality as H-S. Yes it is a shame the Marshall was shot but he should not have been on private property un-announced while shooting the family pet and firing in the direction of civilians. That is just fucking stupid. And the story goes on with Hooch at Waco possibly shooting at the back of the burning building from a secluded out building not in view of the press.....

That would make a great photo, the HSP staff standing around in front of that sign.

One thing about the shooter - he is in a group of people that are taught that they are special, above the rest and all their targets are guilty of something. A certain feeling of power and responsibility come from working with the government on the hard jobs. In my humble opinion, the SNIPER, really never had a target in his sight, and could have cared less and is still telling everyone that he is a great shot. One wonders why I am looking forward to my first set of optics on my rifles - some forty-seven years of shooting for myself and my government and no un-armed women with babies killed by my marksmanship... good record.

I'd say they got one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel. Fuck'em. You get what you play for in my book. Let's see if they can get enough business out of the government and the FBI to stay afloat. They'll never see another penny of my business and I continue to spread the word about their event that never happened to all my gunny friends at every range I go to. I think HS-Precision might be looking for a bailout from the Messiah before long. Good riddance to them.
