Well I for one never agreed that TC was the best. It is just my PREFERENCE. In fact, looking at the MLs I have, the only true T/C I have is my new Cherokee. All the others have GM barrels, or custom stocks or whatever. None are totally T/C.
Fact is, my favorite ML right now is of unknown name and origin. It is all custom made, 50 cal, 1:48, is very light weight and shoots great. I picked it up at an auction for less than any of the other MLs I own. And I am sure it is worth much more than I paid for it.

I really like this forum and my hats off to the moderaters that spend so much thankless time. I think most of the guys here argue in good fun and poke fun most of the time. Heck i have 4 different brands and find good and bad in each one. I gave up on some forums as they get too hateful. Just enjoy what you shoot and take the faults of others with a grain of salt. I bet most here have more than one brand. Kind of like bullets and powder. Each enjoys something different. I do get helpful hints from a lot of guys here even though i have used ML for many years. Never too old to learn. thanks guys

Everyone drink a steaming hot cup of STFU!

Why you old goat!

I am new to this site and am still undecided on the ml to purchase. I have until Dec. to make a decision and sight it in. My hat is off to all the members. I enjoy the good natured banter that goes on as to what ml brand to shoot. Sure there is a small portion of the membership that gets out of line but you decide on what to accept and disreguard.
I don't care if you shoot the bottom of the line ml or a several thousand dollar custom made, I look at your shooting ability and safety, you as an individual, and your hunting/range ethics and morals.
I know I will get an ml custom made using parts from all manufactures and will call it the forum night mare.
