Maj Mike, from the pictures I've seen it looks like a Remington 700 with a US Tactical stock.  Not sure who built it up for the Indy PD.

Ranks right up there with water buffalos stenciled with "PORTABLE WATER".

 NevadaSteve,

Whatcha talking about, he just doesn't advertise the fact that he forgot where he put them! *WRONG!* ; - )

That "portable water" is both funny and technically true though.

Yes, it is important that they load the smell memory into the correct file.

  I mind a neighbor who has two incompetent badly-trained doggies with no manners. They always bark at me when I, their harmless neighbor, walk by. They are also incompetent, often not waking up and barking at me until I have already gone past the place.

Yesser, please indulge Mike.  I seem to have a strange attraction to the ones with pancake magazines. Which reminds me: Do you have a Lewis? (my bad lower consciousness is adumbrating a Masonic joke here)

Yon is a perfect example, his early dispatches were well written with great photo’s. His current facebook stuff is most fluff and angry fluff written in the heat of the moment when some dwell time would be advisable.
I am  finding it hard to find the time to blog myself and am thankful for the work you do on yours, always a great read, except when it comes to losing a dog, in which case I think to much about the dogs I have lost.

Nope, just cold and misty, with a light frost.

I did not expect my comment to make it pas the people that screen comments.
My comment is harsh,  Though it should be, hit Nacy Pelosi on the cheek.
That is where he planted his kiss the other picture that needed captions.
