This year I hunted with a Remington 700 243 I bought used 40 years, had killed deer with open sights but put a scope on this year. Unfortunately I had zero targets through the rifle or muzzleloader season

Oh the Fudds.....

I prefer hunting with bolt guns. But I don't take someone seriously who cares about how and what other people shoot.

I discriminate on who I hunt with, always have. I've weeded out a lot of lightweights.

A flat top AR10 would make an ok deer rifle, don’t care what color you paint it. What really is the difference than a BAR in 308?

There is no difference. One just looks scarier.

I kill a lot of hogs with AR10s.

I like old shotguns. This one is about 115 years old. Still works great. No telling how much game this on has killed. It belonged to my great grandpa.

do you just leave the safety off or did you figure out a fast way to get it off

the Mauser and 1903 it is a quick thumb flip , the Mosin not as easy

You go ahead and drool over your plastic, BC. Maybe someday you'll learn to appreciate craftsmanship.

Unsportsmanlike conduct to put it politely.

Taunting to go further.

Snobbery if you must.

I stand guilty as accused but I also don't mistake MD 20/20 as a fine wine.

Nor do I, but it'll get the job done, lol. And while I no longer partake of that vintage I won't begrudge those that do.

I've probably introduced as many young hunters/outdoorsmen to the sport as anyone here. I've never expected much in the way of skill or tastes in firearms from up and comers, I looked to desire. Some of them had it, some didn't. Over the years I've converted exactly no one to my way of thinking when it comes to fine guns, doubles in particular. And some of you will be pleased to know this isn't the first time I've been accused of being a snob.

I never use the safety on a mosin nagant. its to much of a pain to use.

I think guns are going to change quite a bit in the next few years. With more and more 3D printing - I soon expect many more home made and small shop firearms being produced. I very much like the enthusiasm of todays youth who are printing off their own guns. I pray it continues and the technology allows all to be able to make guns at home. I am serious.
