Oh, well THAT changes EVERYTHING! You're a member even? Gosh! Do you stay at a Holiday Inn Express when you visit Lewiston, too? That'd sew the whole issue up for you.

One of the aspects of this board that is very troubling sometimes is when someone feels the need to bash someone else over what they're shooting. Got a new .30-30? Well, it's crap for elk hunting, even though you may never hunt elk in North Carolina with it. Got a Remington? Winchesters are crap because ______'s are better. Got a heavy barrel? Heavy barrels are crap because my spiffy new JOC M70 can shoot and it has a light barrel. People need to spend more time getting each other in the field with what they have and can afford and less time bragging about whatever it is in their gunsafe that they feel so proud of that they need to tear someone else down over.

Wanna post a picture? Why don't you try one of the game you take this season with that rifle. And follow with a story of what a great hunt it was, leave out the part about how smart you are because you're a member of some silly club. Try more celebration of hunting and being in the field, and less celebration about you and your pretty acquisition and the name etched in the trigger guard.

(edit) - Go back and read your original post. You even quoted your beloved saying that a light barrel CAN be as accurate as a heavy barrel. How did you twist that? Let me refresh your memory:

Read your early responses to other members. Did you tell someone he'd be wrong?

No, you didn't come here with an agenda....
