Me & KYratshooter mentioned some stuff that bugs us we see at the range behind the scenes in PM. It gave me the idea for this thread:
All of us shooters have heard some incredible Bull Hockey from/around other shooters at one time or another.
I have heard enough hockey among shooters to sink an aircraft carrier, but the one I'm gonna share below is takes the cake for what I have heard.
================================================== ======================================
I used to sell guns:
A farmer (REALLY LOOKED THE PART) came in hopping mad about coyotes killing his cattle/calves.
He said to me "I want the most accurate- furthest shooting rifle you got on that rack." {It was at a big box sporting good store with typical hunt'n rifles on the rack.]
I responded "well sir, the most accurate rifle I have is our high-end Weatherby mark V- they come with a proof target. As far as long range I'd suggest 7mmRM as the 7mm's are high BC bullets."
"Lemme see it."
I pulled the rifle off the rack and went and found the box and presented him with the proof target.
He replied "I'll take it."
I having been inundated with demands to create "add on sales" said "nice choice sir. Now let me show you some quality scopes that would be worthy of such a rifle."
He was obviously taken aback by my comment and it was blatantly obvious I had horribly offended him. ??????????
He set his jaw, narrowed his eyes and said emphatically "If that feller at the factory can shoot that good without a scope I CAN TOO!"
He bought the rifle and left. It was drilled and tapped for scope mounts, had no iron sights on it.
