I really can't believe no one has offered a "course correction" on this yet...

Man listen, I $6000+ rifle is awesome. I'm jealous. And I'm sure everyone at the range is gonna ogle your new toy....


But are you fucking serious???



You do realize that one day you may need to use that rifle (or one of your 4 "nice" handguns) in a situation that's not so fun don't you?
Hunting for food, defending your homestead, killing zombies.... whatever.

Dude, a LOT else matters. And I'm surprised that some of those on here that know that first hand haven't stepped in yet.

You should really re-evaluate your stance on this, OR re-evaluate your membership here.

Shooting is a fun sport. Having fun and challenging yourself to put all 14 rounds in the X, IMHO, is a great thing. But to believe that there is NOTHING more to it is rather naive....

Man, I am sure you know I've been getting much better in shooting'n guns in a short period right, particularly after taking classes. Oh well I didn't mean gun is ONLY for fun, but it's my starting point objective - treating it as a hobby and a sport hence my handle on the forum is "targetshooting".

Relax a bit. From now on you can just think of me a new gun owner with a lot of time to kill around the range. How about coming out for the "chilli cook off" thingy next month? I've been head-to-heading with people online on different hobbies sites but after I met them we weren't arguing (serious argument) anymore.

If you do come, we shooting for ammo - loser pays for it

OK, looks like I need a shotgun. What can you suggest for a shotgun fits for home-defense and skeet/clay shooting?

Except Tack's momma isn't coming this time...

Your's is always cumming.

I have a nice little Snake Charmer .410.....

[0utlaw]

I have #6 turkey shot, it'll make that .410 a great little home defense gun

I think I understand, NOW, why Kevin's exists.

I like $100 rifles. I like $50 rifles even better.

I've got a $35 rifle that was last rebuilt over 60 years ago, and shoots 2 moa 5-shot groups at 100 yards with iron sights. It's a Turk clone of a Mauser Gewehr 98 so it's long and heavy and kicks like a mule, but 8mm will sure do the job; and the ammo for it cost me 5 cents per round.

Admittedly I hit the market on that one just right a few years back. Pat Burns had a fire sale when the feds took her license and Wholesale Guns and Ammo went under due to technical issues over what constitutes importing a full auto weapon. The average Turk seems to be running about $400 these days... and the ammo at that price is long gone, including most of mine.

Lemme see now: I like math. $6500 divided by $35 = 185.71 That's a bunch of rifles. I doubt that any of them will shoot a dust speck off of a gnat's behind at 1,000 meters... but, hell... neither can I, and it's plenty of fun not to try to.
