    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?

    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.
