No one here it seems with a few exceptions can take criticism of anything they are so thin skinned its almost pathetic.
Hunting and shooting crowds are generally very close minded to advise. I think we are taught that way from children. I mean your father sits there and is very critical of you, and very stern on everything when it deals with a gun. Its all a serious operation. And its passed on to the younger generation. So we are always busy looking down on one another. Also, its hard to stomach when you just forked out 5 bills for a gun and feel good with your purchase and then truth or not, somebody says, "its junk compared to what you could have got". And especially since its coming from a "stranger".
Hey, I sure don't agree with your optics debates. And I think I have enough creditions to toot my horn. But when it comes to rifles and guns in general, sure you run circles around me. But its cool. I mean shoot, you are so old you fart dust.

I would hoped you would have learned a thing or too with all those trips out west.
I used to take alot seriously on here but since have just thrown up my hands and said "ok". Still like to beat down Mossy every once in a while.
