No I said brazen.

I stand corrected. Darn synonyms!

I may have a bit of an ego but so do many others that post here and if he doesn't't like my opinion so be it. That is why the "ignore button" was created. No one here it seems with a few exceptions can take criticism of anything they are so thin skinned its almost pathetic.


But it is so much fun to unload on this guy

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.

Well I have learned not to argue about optics with you that is for sure

LOL! This is what I mean when I say you have no credibility. Now you are telling people you don't even know and have never met what they do and don't own. Pathetic. Whatever experience you may have in some field (Hog Farming, Goat Herding etc, etc,) is rendered completely untrustworthy by your mouth and it's tendency to shoot off about things you know nothing about and your insistence on stating your decidedly narrow minded and often dead wrong opinions as if they were indisputable facts. Maybe you have spent the past 10 years in a cave chewing peyote and it's made you delusional so let me help you out here. You are not God and your mouth is not a prayer book. You are just as flawed, often wrong and full of s##t as the next guy on here. (more so than most) Hope that helps you find your way back through that delusional fog you have weaved around yourself.

For the record I currently own 11 rifles of which one is a Sako 75 hunter in 243. I also own a Tikka T-3 in 25-06. A Remington model 700 in 30-06. A Steyr Pro Hunter in 7mm-08. A Ruger M77 MKII in 7mm Magnum. A Browning A-Bolt also in 7mm-08. A Smith & Wesson Model 1500 in 243. A Browning BAR in 7mm-mag. A Savage 11f in 308. A 30 caliber M-1 Carbine. A Marlin 336c in 30-30. And a Ruger 10/22 22 caliber rifle.

Now you know and can speak intelligently about the subject. See how that works? Know something then speak. Works better that way.

No I do not own a special order or custom built rifle. I do have friends that have had one built for them. My experiences through them have left me with the impression that I simply have no need for one. I hunt and rarely have to take a shot longer than 250 yards. I do not participate in bench rest or long range shooting competitions that would warrent the extra money. If I did I'd own one. It's kinda like this. Why pay 50,000 dollars to build a monster truck on your standard 4x4's frame when all you are going to do is go hunting in it. It makes no sense to me but I guess for some reason it does to you. Maybe it makes you feel special or superior to others around you. A lot of insecure people need that. Other more practical minded people like myself , do not.

You've unloaded some stuff alright and we can all smell it.

[:@] ouch... that's gonna leave a mark...

I started it! lol.

I hate to tell you Todd, but he has helped alot of people on here and as I found out very knowledgable source on rifles. I may not be speaking for everyone on here, but he has much greatercreditabilty than you. I can't remember when you have really contributed too much to the Guns forum. Maybe you have, your name doens't stick out other than taking up for current rifles you have.

I understand your arguing back and forth with the guy over something you believe. But the whole creditability issue for you is really a losing battle on this forum.

I am not bashing you, and look forward to your contributions on this forum. Just setting the record straight

This is true.

Mike
