My old Stevens bolt-action single-shot .22 plinker has more or less died; the firing pin doesn't hit the rimfire primers hard enough to ignite them 2 times out of 3, and I can't find any parts for this old gun.
I'm looking for a new .22LR rifle, preferably semi-auto but I wouldn't mind a bolt. Budget is about $200-250. I already have a nice scope to put on it (3-9x, 40mm), so a scope rail is required.
Before I went straight to the one-size-fits-all Ruger 10/22, I decided to do some research....
Anyone had a Mossberg model 37150?
It looks like a 10/22 clone to me, and $165 delivered wouldn't hurt my balance sheet much at all. Anyone had one?
Thanks so much for the info, guys. I love this forum
Pete Zaria.

I used to think it sounded terribly drab and dated. However I now see Valerie with fresh eyes. Recently when househunting I was looking round a house that had two little girls named Vivienne and Valerie, Suddenly I was like wow nice names. Sometimes I think you need to experience names in real life to gain a full perspective on them.
Anyway now I really like Valerie (and Vivienne). I dislike dislike the nickname Val though currently
Valerie is fresh, pretty and has a bit of a I kick ass feel about it for me now :)

Accountants excel at analyzing numbers and developing strategies based off them.
The way University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill professor James Johnson, Ph.D., sees it, the numbers describing the demographics of the United States leave accountants little choice today but to embrace diversity and new business practices. Johnson spoke Sunday at the AICPA governing Council's fall meeting.
"Our communities are going to change dramatically," Johnson, director of the Urban Investment Strategies Center at UNC, said in an interview the week before the presentation. "Our businesses are going to change dramatically. And that requires the accounting industry to change, because in many respects, it does not look like America, particularly at the upper tier."
Nonwhites made up 25% of accounting employees but just 10% of partners at CPA firms in 2012, according to the 2013 AICPA Trends survey that measures firm demographics. Women also have struggled to advance, as they represent 44% of accounting employees and just 19% of partners at CPA firms.
Johnson sees six disruptive demographic trends that will require change:
These demographic shifts will challenge the way the accountancy profession has operated, Johnson said. Allowing for flexibility in the workplace can be difficult in professions that are deadline-oriented, where taxes are due on a certain date no matter what, for example. But Johnson said the accounting profession will have to evolve to continue to thrive.
Johnson's tips for the accounting profession include:
Businesses may be able to succeed for a bit longer using older, stricter work models for their employees, according to Johnson. But he said the changing demographics in the workforce demand a new way of doing things.
"Again, agility, flexibility, accommodation is the order of the day," Johnson said. "If you try one-size-fits-all, it's going to be my way or the highway, you're going to be on the highway all by yourself. "

LEE COUNTY-Fla.-Documents reveal what Lee County School district employees said Dr. Joseph Burke was trying to cover up about Dr. Deedara Hicks.
In August 2011 a Lee County school district employee wrote:
"I grabbed her purse and saw two small bottles of wine in her purse (one bottle empty and the other full)" after a cabinet meeting at the district headquarters.
The same employee said later that day "she attempted to put her shoes on and put them on the wrong foot."
That same day another district employee, an Executive Secretary, talks about finding Dr. Hicks in her car in the parking lot:
"Dr. Hicks was slumped over in the passenger's seat, was not moving and appeared to be unconscious"
Just last month, the state decided not to take action against Hicks.
Dr. Burke said the accusations stemmed from a disgruntled employee and he tried to have the investigation suspended.
That's what the state is now looking into.
Dr. Burke said, "As far as I am concerned I did nothing wrong in fact I acted appropriately in terms of protecting the district and the possibility of other violations and lawsuits."
Former school board member, Bob Chilmonik, said allegations that Burke covered for Hicks are politcally motivated .
"Some of the charges were libilous and slanderous in my opinion that were made against her."
"Dr. Burke said, "It is discouraging to keep having to go back to these distracting issues that are not relevant to educating the students in lee county."

Green Hope High maintained its lead after winter sports to capture the Wachovia Cup in the final 4-A standings for the second consecutive year.
The Wachovia Cup award, sponsored by Wachovia and the NCHSAA, recognizes the high schools that achieve the best overall interscholastic athletic performances.
In the 4-A classification, Green Hope finished first with 427.5 points by placing fifth in men's golf and fifth among 4-A women's lacrosse teams.
Wakefield High wound up in third, primarily with a couple of great performances in track, winning the women's outdoor track and field crown and taking third in the men's meet, to go with a fourth-place finish in men's golf.
Other WCPSS schools in the Top 15 include Apex High in sixth, Millbrook Magnet High in 10th and Leesville Road High in 12th.
Wachovia Cup points are determined by a system based on performance in state championship events. All schools that finish in the top eight positions (plus ties) earn points. In the playoff events involving teams from more than one classification, Wachovia Cup points are awarded based on the school's standing against other schools in its own classification. If fewer than eight schools from a classification compete in a sport, only those schools that are represented are eligible to receive the Wachovia Cup points.
Points are awarded for all sports as follows: 50 for first, 45 for second, 40 for third, 35 for fourth, 30 for fifth, 25 for sixth, 20 for seventh and 15 for eighth. In the event of a tie, the schools receive an equal number of points based on the number of teams that tie and the number of teams that finish higher in the standings. Five points are awarded for each sanctioned sport in which a school competes.
Wachovia Cup standings are announced three times each school year: once after the fall and then the winter sports, and concluding with the winner after the spring sports season ends in June. The engraved silver cups are presented during NCHSAA Day activities at UNC-Chapel Hill each fall.
1. Green Hope (WCPSS) – 427.5
2. Myers Park – 390.5
3. Wakefield (WCPSS) – 365
4. East Chapel Hill – 360
5. Ardrey Kell – 345
6. Apex (WCPSS) – 342.5
7. T.C. Roberson – 340
8. Providence – 330
9. Lake Norman – 305
10. Millbrook (WCPSS) – 272.5
11. Watauga – 267.5

Paul Allen buys lovingly restored vintage V-2 Nazi ballistic missile
British Intelligence
The more I read about WWII, the more I am amazed at how (supposedly) effective the Intelligence Services were at controlling the information leakage from this country. It is claimed that all German spies were turned by the Brits and used to our advantage. That and a lack of air supremacy would seem to have masked all that was going on here in the UK. That's a truly incredible achievement.
All this brought to mind by the comment that the UK 'leaked' info that the V2s were overshooting London. We'd never have got away with this had we not got the information scene under complete control.
Much like the UK government would like to now, I suppose.

Re: @mantissa
Thanks for the correction. I wasn't paying attention and still had my shitty amp soap box out from a previous discussion.
Re: Who pays next time
That's exactly right. The problem of wideband crappy TV masthead (and elsewhere) amplifiers is a well known one. Amateur Radio operators, taxi companies all 'cause' problems where low quality TV amplifiers are employed, whereas in fact they are operating perfectly legally and it's just the amplifiers at fault. If all our electronic equipment operated in the manner of those amplifiers, nothing would work without being apparently interfered with by everything else.
The trial has been successful in pointing out that shitty TV amplifiers are just...shitty. If the mobile operators have to go around fitting filters to their inputs then (at last) the problem might be solved for all other legitimate users of the radio spectrum who are (wrongly) accused of causing TV interference.

text: Barbara Boxer: Hobby Lobby's Supreme Court Position 'Anti-Woman' Print article Send a Tip by Dr. Susan Berry 25 Mar 2014 post a comment On the day that the Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding the HHS mandate, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) argued that Hobby Lobby's position against abortion-inducing drugs is "anti-woman." Boxer claimed that Hobby Lobby has never complained that Viagra is available for men under their health insurance coverage for employees. As Right Scoop notes, though the MSNBC host observed to Boxer that Hobby Lobby's objection has to do with issues about life, Boxer persisted, "Excuse me, I have never heard them put in any type of moral objection – remember this is a moral objection – to men getting Viagra. But they have a moral objection to women getting certain types of birth control." "So, I view this," Boxer concluded, "as very much an anti-woman position to take."

As students begin to experience new found independence and control over decisions in college, many parents feel they have little influence over the amount of time their students spends studying. According to the College Parents of America article, parents can still help their student understand the importance of investing time in studying even with the reality of how their current time management will affect their education. "The college experience is about more than just coursework. College is a time to meet new people, experience new things, and work at gaining independence. But college is also about classes, exams, studying, working with professors, and, hopefully, gaining a wealth of useful knowledge and new ways of thinking. In order for students to succeed, they need to put in the time. Unfortunately, many students either do not understand the amount of time necessary to do well in college, or they do not prioritize the amount of time they need to spend studying."
The general rule which has been around for a long time is that students should spend around 2-3 hours of time studying for each hour they are in class. For students with full-time status of 12 units, this equals roughly 12 hours of class time and 24 hours of studying each week. This expectation may come as a shock to students who were able to do well in high school with minimal study time. Regardless of what other things students are doing, it is important that students realize "how much time they should be studying and how much time they are actually studying. Parents can help their students take a more realistic approach to managing their new college life including how to manage study time with all of the other distractions in their life. For more information and the entire article, visit the College Parents of America website.

FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) — Two cheerleaders have been suspended from their schools and are under investigation by Arizona authorities after a "hit list" they created about students and a teacher they disliked was posted online, authorities said Wednesday.
The names of the two girls weren't released, but authorities said one is an eighth-grade student at Walker Butte K-8 School and the other is a 10th-grader at Poston Butte High School, both in the Florence Unified School District, southeast of Phoenix.
The girls are suspected of posting the list on the social media site with an icon of a pistol next to the words "hit list," according to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.
School district officials said the list contained the names of nine students who attend either Poston Butte or Walker Butte and one teacher from Poston Butte. None of their names were released by authorities.
The girls were interviewed by sheriff's deputies and claim they created the list to name people they didn't like, but they didn't intend on harming any of them.
The sheriff's office was notified of the situation at 6 a.m. Wednesday by district officials after a parent of one of the students on the list learned about it and emailed two district staff members.
The two girls have been suspended from school pending a hearing, said Dana Hawman, spokeswoman for the school district.
A district statement sent to all parents and staff Wednesday said neither girl has a history of disciplinary incidents, but "all threats are taken very seriously."
Poston Butte has more than 1,700 students in grades 9-12. Walker Butte has nearly 1,000 students in kindergarten through 8th grade.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said that upon completion of his staff's investigation, his office will likely submit the case to the county attorney's office for potential charges of threatening and intimidating filed against the two girls.
"With recent school shootings across the country, all possible threats of violence at schools are taken seriously by law enforcement," Babeu said. "Parents are encouraged to talk with their children and explain the seriousness of making such threats."

Right now -- refurbished Kitchenaid mixer for $100 on Amazon
Refurbished,only in white. $124.99 which is just under the $125 for the $25 coupon. Just add a kitchen tool or some sponges to get you over the threshold.
I've bought a few refurbished items from Amazon and haven't had a problem. Good deal if you are willing to take a risk.
I bought a refurbished KitchenAid Pro and have been very happy with it, so I second the vote for trying refurbished.
I shy away from these deals, especially when "trust us, there's a warranty" is the only response to specific questions about what went into the rebuild process. I'm guessing fried motors and/or stripped gears or loose bearings. Since I rarely get details about these sorts of meaningful things, I consider refurbs a false economy. Given the longevity of KA stand mixers under normal use(mine is 12 years old and still purring), I pale to think what torture these poor refurbs endured in their former lives.
re: Kagemusha
Some would take the opposite viewpoint: that through the vigorous testing applied to refurbished models and the individual attention needed to send them back out again, that your chances with re-furbished are actually much better than with a brand new one. Certainly the warranty is an issue (only 6 months vs. 1 yr for new), but since you get 30-days to test it out before the Amazon return policy expires, you can really go to town on it.
The truth is that a brand new KA mixer is beyond the budget for a lot of people, or some people are reluctant to pay full retail price for an appliance they don't plan to use that much, but a $100 model may persuade them to give it a chance.
PS. Amazon has some new ones on sale too.
"some people are reluctant to pay full retail price for an appliance they don't plan to use that much"
That's me. I have a good hand mixer, and a tiny kitchen, I don't bake bread and I don't bake much that "needs" a stand mixer in general. But there are times when it'd be really nice to have.
I'm still on the fence about (relatively) expensive refurbs, though. I've always heard that KA is pretty good about even post-warranty dealings on the new machines, I wonder if that's true of their refurbs, too?
Watch out for the Artisan series. You see them refurbished all over the place. There is a reason for that. Lots of problems.
Go with the pro series.
I received a refurbished Kitchen Aid mixer last year from Amazon. It has a raised inch-long crack in the enamel paint, on the side of the mixer base. Apparently this is considered a cosmetic issue and is not covered by their Refurbished product warranty, so I could not return it.
Boy was I pissed. It's glossy enamel. I don't know how to fix it. That said, the machine works fine.
re: vicki_vale
hi - I 'believe' these are powder coated so you should be able to get the part redone very cheaply. Just look up powder coaters in your area. We are actually in Australia and will be buying one of the refurb'd high powered pro units. Theyre onoy available in white and my wife wants a red one, so it is off to the poweder coaters for us as soon as it arrives...... this may seem like a lot of messing around but we can only get the standard units here and they retail for around $500US, so a bit of messing around suits us fine considering the savings.
I have purchased several refurbished appliances from Amazon and they came essentially brand new in the box, without any signs of being touched. They work great and were a fraction of the price of new ones.
