Seven lines of text without a period. Must be some sort of record. Anyone have a Guiness Record book around?

Gotta disagree with you, Joe. A caliper is either digital or it's vernier, not both. "Vernier" is a specific technology for visually interpolating a measurement that falls between the scale demarcations on the caliper rule. "Digital vernier" is a contradiction in terminology, and a perversion of the language probably concocted by some marketing bozo to sell these instruments to the uninitiated. Yeah, I know they are cataloged by some outfits as digital vernier calipers, but they are just wrong.

Replacement, thank you for the information. You said there are 2 types off calipers digital and vernier. Now what do you call the type of caliperr that has a dial for direct readibg? Its niether digital or vernier accordig to your post.

Joe, a dial caliper is just that: a dial caliper. There are lots of caliper types, all with different names, some with verniers, some without, some with analog dials and some with digital displays. Some don't even have graduations on them and are used for transferring dimensions from one object to another. There is even a skin caliper used for estimating total body fat. All different. Just tools, but nomenclature is important.

Fox,

I do most of my gunning across the river due to longer seasons so I'm still shooting. I only hunt in Michingan maybe four or five days a year.

Was just over for an ice up hunt this past weekend, mostly mallards with couple black and canvasbacks thrown in for good measure. Shot my first year A-5 Magnum one day and the ever faithful Parker the next.

Fox,

If you're not really a doublegun shooter why the interest in this BBS? I'm sure the big Winchester club has one that would better suit your needs.

Maybe someone should answer Markethunter's question. That would be the first sentence with the question mark at the end. I know the answer but I know the price I would have to pay if I answered it. Someone else please take over. I've already been snakebit more than once.

He's trying to convert us to bumper jacks ?

Bill I keep thinking of B'rer Rabbit and the Little Black Tar Baby.

Best,

Mike

Thanks Joe- maybe those other idiopts thought the "digital" had to do with their anual prostate exam- Mine converts to metric if needed, and is invaluable in my gunner's workbench-But I still have the old Brown & Sharpe and Lufkin "mikes" my Grand Father used, and "sticky tight" don't mean taffy or bubble gum neither.
