Naw. .223 is a great varmint gun with good range, cheap ammo and greater ammo capacity than .308 (which I think you meant. .303 hasn’t been used since the 50’s and pretty much sucked, I have been told), longer range than a rifled 12ga slug and much better ballistics than a 30-30.

The .303 Enfield is still around despite reports of it’s demise. They even used for a round of Top Shot last year. I used to impress my young nephews by elevating the ramp to about 1100 meters and shooting the dry dusty levee a mile away. I shoot, they count, and then the dust cloud appears. Fun round and it even works on two legged varmints.

Zed’s a sniper, not just a “vet”. If Wade has any decent long range weaponry, Zed could easily take down ATF guys at any surveillance range they could work at.
And that’s before we talk about “the jewess” (classy reference BTW), Wade himself and Sam.

The real juggernaught is don Portago. It’s much easier to squish a little guy, even a well-trained little guy, if he doesn’t have connections. It’s all happening in the middle of nowhere and nobody would hear about it until afterwards. All The Gang have to do is hole up until DP swings into action. Portago has the clout to shut down a siege and get the guy in charge sent to Antarctica to count penguins.

I think it was a blue on blue incident.
Video of that raid shows those agents climbing a ladder to a low rooftop, and then climbing into a 2nd floor window. A lone agent then charges up the ladder, pokes his MP-5 into that same window, and sweeps the room with a full mag discharge. I seem to remember him doing this with the gun held over his head, while he hunkered down below the window ledge, which was only 2-3ft above the roof. He never even looks into the room before shooting. IIRC, there were dark curtains covering the window. You could see the first agents moving them aside to climb in. Haven’t seen this video since early days, and don’t remember who shot it.
Also, at some point, you could see an agent shoot himself in the leg while climbing the same ladder. Tried to draw from his tac holster on his right leg, while only half-way up, and fumbled it. He continued on to the rooftop.
March 3, 2015 at 9:06 am

RE: Blue On Blue
I saw the same video. I recall one agent shooting himself in the leg while he climbed the ladder to the roof. I recall seeing another agent ON the roof throwing a grenade in the window behind the agents that had already gone in.
As for the head shots. Those were the four fatalities. I read that in Ashes of Waco.
And, in my honestly held personal and professional opinion, they were the first in the long string of bodies surrounding the Clinton administration.

Wyoh looked at me and I could see synapses snapping. So I changed subject. “Prof. why get rid of bodies? Besides horrible job, was dangerous. Don’t know how many bodyguards Warden has, but more could show up while you were doing it.”
“Believe me, lad, we feared that. But although I was almost useless, it was my idea, I had to convince the others. Oh, not my original idea but remembrance of things past, an historical principle.”
“What principle?”
“Terror! A man can face known danger. But the unknown frightens him. We disposed of those finks, teeth and toenails, to strike terror into their mates. Nor do I know how many effectives the Warden has, but I guarantee they are less effective today. Their mates went out on an easy mission. Nothing came back.”

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

My impression is that even Federal and local LEOs are getting tired of the Administration’s crap..look at the need to “FORCE” Border agents to ignore the law to implement Obama’s illegal amnesty…and the low morale at DHS overall. AND the rising number of sheriffs who say they won’t enforce illegal gun control.
I think this will be an interesting story arc for the week.
My money’s still on the gals of DBD and their menfolk doing something inventive to stymie these yahoos…inventive, snarky, and if we’re lucky, a little bit naughty…everyone does remember the diversion used to allow Wade to sneak up on the first group of trespassing feds, right?

And, in my honestly held personal and professional opinion, they were the first in the long string of bodies surrounding the Clinton administration.
You know for years I thought I saw the same thing but could never be sure, Thank you for confirming what I saw.
I’m just gonna make some popcorn, sit back and see what Cris has up his sleeve. Just remember the Feds have long memories, Brah. Just ask John Ross.
The Bundy Ranch changed that meme, I think. I believe it is possible to approach the problem from a different direction now.
“No Smoking Zone”? They’re playing with fire.
I still stand with my original statement — make everything disappear with no trace left behind; men, equipment, car. If the Feebs have a body and/or wreckage, that’s a powerful “martyr” factor for revenge/retaliation/”justice”.
If there’s NOTHING, that’s a large psychological FEAR factor. What happened? Who did it? We THINK we know who did it, but HOW did they do it? Someone/something out there is bigger/badder than us. Do we dare continue attacking? After all, at the end of the day, I want to go home, and collect my retirement.
RE: Destroy All Evidence
I do believe that’s why the feds demolished the Davidian compound and dumped it at a hidden location. Something to do with eliminating evidence of the satchel charges they used against the bunker where the women and children had taken shelter.
And the shots taken at the rear door, when some of them tried to surrender to save the women and children.
Does Wade have any friends that run a salvage yard? Do what Goldfinger did with Mr. Solo! Once the little metal cube goes to the smelter, there goes the evidence.
Wyoh looked at me and I could see synapses snapping. So I changed subject. “Prof. why get rid of bodies? Besides horrible job, was dangerous. Don’t know how many bodyguards Warden has, but more could show up while you were doing it.”
“Believe me, lad, we feared that. But although I was almost useless, it was my idea, I had to convince the others. Oh, not my original idea but remembrance of things past, an historical principle.”
“What principle?”
“Terror! A man can face known danger. But the unknown frightens him. We disposed of those finks, teeth and toenails, to strike terror into their mates. Nor do I know how many effectives the Warden has, but I guarantee they are less effective today. Their mates went out on an easy mission. Nothing came back.”
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I’d be surprised if Wade doesn’t keep a few hogs on that ranch. Feed the pigs to the hogs.
Is Don Portego visiting from Argentina?
I was thinking something along those lines. Have Sr Don move all evidence out of country under “diplomatic pouch”. Then dump (errr, I mean “lose” – how unfortunate) it overboard in the middle of the deep ocean.
If, he is in residence, even bothering him would be an international incident. BTW, “Don” is a Spanish honorific like ‘Mr” used with persons of importance or worthy of respect.
Thank you for the Spanish language lesson. I sit corrected.
Don P it is.
Hmm…seems like Chris will have this situation well in hand, satire can be a powerful thing…sometimes better than violence..one thing that drives prog-libs crazy is to be mocked and made fun of…and there is SO much to mock and make fun of…
My impression is that even Federal and local LEOs are getting tired of the Administration’s crap..look at the need to “FORCE” Border agents to ignore the law to implement Obama’s illegal amnesty…and the low morale at DHS overall. AND the rising number of sheriffs who say they won’t enforce illegal gun control.
I think this will be an interesting story arc for the week.
My money’s still on the gals of DBD and their menfolk doing something inventive to stymie these yahoos…inventive, snarky, and if we’re lucky, a little bit naughty…everyone does remember the diversion used to allow Wade to sneak up on the first group of trespassing feds, right?
OOPS, see I was even distracted..that was Zed and Sam working together…
Who uses the word “Jewess” any more? Surely a government worker old enough to remember it would have long since retired or expired.
A Nazi or a Hamas-worshiping leftist would use the term.
Chris, you are a corker, most ricky-tick.
Don’t forget that the local sheriff is on their side. He can still make a lot of legal hay out of ATF snooping around.
Ahhh. . .but the sheriff still has to abide by the law. He can’t just make the Fibbies up and disappear.
Wanna bet?
This is Texas, not Illinois…….
This won’t end well.
Some interesting cognitive dissonance here, with the Feds using “terrorist” and “72” in the same sentence. (What rewards do THEY expect, one wonders?)
I’m rooting for Wade and Zed & co. to get “inventive”. Stymieing a carful of Feds with a potato… I’m lovin’ it!
Shades of “Beverly Hills Cop”.
I’d have Wade stroll right up to the fence in the Feds line of sight and pound in a “Trespassers will be Shot on Sight” sign. Maybe take the “Jewess” in skimpy sun dress with me. I’d also tell her that these are the people who have come to do her baby harm. Image what an ex-Mossad new mother would do. A little postpartum depression raging hormones for a little fun on the ranch.
Ohhh. Me like.
If you thought a momma grizzly was bad news, you haven’t met a momma Mossad sniper.
Does Monster Joe’s Truck and Tow have a branch office in South Texas?
A shame to have this intrusion on Argentine consular territory. Some folks never learn, non?
It was the FL homestead Don P declared as consular, no? I don’t think he declared Wade’s property as well.
Yet >:)
True. Whatever Chris does, it’s going to be good! 🙂
There can be more than one consulate in a nation. Might even designate it a vacation spot for their diplomats.
‘course Zed’s probably flanked them all
Would be pretty cool if he had done so, dropped a dozen or so angry Texas rattlers in Fedboys SUV and left without a noise……….
I could see a couple of Feds getting snakebit.
Doubt they carry snakebite kits either, being Northerners.
Where did all the Killer bees go anyway?
Just readin’ the comments are entertaining. Any of these ideas got merit, Chris? Gotta make more popcorn……
Might as well mix up some ginger beer and kraken to go with the popcorn.
I seem to remember Zed being very, very good with a rifle from very, very, very far away.
The bald ATF guy is perfectly creepy. It will be a pleasure to see him get his comeuppance, whether by rattlesnake or by being dumped naked on the Mexican side of the line.
As Pamela suggested, on a mound of fire ants. A full-body set of fire ant bites – especially in the genital region (full Brazilian, I think you said 😉 would suit the Neo-Nazi/muslim bastard.
What’s with all the harassment? Haven’t the Feds learned their lesson yet that when it comes to messing with the DBD gang, they’re the ones that get ridden hard and hung up wet in the end.
The feds might wake up in Mexico cartel country — in DEA vehicle.
