Challenge him to a shooting contest at the local range. If you can beat his azz with your out of box gun and ammo, tell him to STFU about how good his guns are...if he beats your azz, then your question is answered since those targets are about 100 yds (and customized guns dont matter at 100 yds, right ?)

I think we have a solution.

Why dont you do that and vice them both down to get some real results.

Then if either of you lose, you can't say 'well, i had a bad shooting day."

I will tell you what isn't the solution. That lady in the first pic that Dynastar posted looks like she has been carrying around a baby hippo in her stomach for 12 months. That's freaking disgusting!!

Don't give me this. You keep coming back to this thread since you have nothing better to do. You have spent WAY more than 10 seconds on this thread.


Reading is hard. I stated that I wanted the 10 seconds of my life back from reading your post, not the entire thread.

quote:
I don't care. That is the problem at hand. He and I are the two in the office that hunt alot, so he thinks he has to tell me about everything that he buys, sells, kills, cleans, cooks, or whatever he does outdoors. It's something different every day of the week and it gets old. Like I said before, he is the perfect example of a dbag that buys stuff he absolutely doesn't need just so that he can brag about it. You sound like you would get along with him quite well.


Sounds like you have a personal problem with the dude, and the fact that he enjoys different things in life that you do. It's also good to know that you have me figured out based on your assinine responses in this thread alone. You should become a palm reader due to your high level of astuteness. You might want to take into consideration that I do not own a custom built rifle myself in your response back to me - only accurized rifles.

quote:
Actually, I have read all their post and agree with most of them. It's just a slow day at work and its kind of funny to see people like yourself get riled up over my post because you own a custom rifle. This board is pretty slow during the off season, so someone needs to stir the bucket every once in a while.


If you agree with "most" of them, why do you keep letting yourself get beat down in this argument? You also presume that somebody like you would even cause me annoyance, much less getting riled up over. I've spent more time enjoying watching you get your azz handed to you than anything, and really I hope you keep going - this thread has made an otherwise boring afternoon tolerable, but then again - watching a beat down usually helps out. Oh, and I mentioned this above - but since reading is difficult for a whippersnapper like you, I'll take the time to repeat it: I don't own a custom built rifle. I own a few accurized rifles, but nothing custom built. Darn, there goes one of your theories about me.

quote:
No, its more of just the arrogance that goes along with the guy. It just happens to be that he owns custom rifles too and that I, unwillingly, have to hear about each and every one of them within 24 hours of him buying it. It's not about the money. If he bought a regular rifle, I wouldn't mind checking it out. I love looking at people's guns. However, everytime he shows me his rifles, he has to tell me about how much better they are, how he can shoot for miles, how expensive they are, and on and on and on. It's funny and annoying at the same time. Especially considering the circumstances of how he hunts (within 200 yards of his target).


Seems to be a simple solution - if it's that annoying, man up and tell him to STFU about them. But that would require you to grow a pair, and I doubt you have the stones to tell your boss that. Your comment about loving to look at guns and hating to look at his just reeks of jealousy, nothing more, nothing less. So sad.

We'll all be waiting for the results of this contest, because this would be the only way for you to prove your point, and this is an excellent idea.

Yeah, that definitely took more than 10 seconds, but I am not reading all of that. Its probably similar to the previous mess you have posted. There are alot of people on this board day in and day out and 3-4 people total are making an arguement for your side of the equation. I think that says it all.

I'm outta here. Got a round of golf to play with my CUSTOM clubs.

If you're deciding between 1/2 and 1" groups, then no. The difference is slight. But if you're talking about a factory rifle with no custom work done (trigger pull, etc.) and shooting about 3"MOA then yes, there's a difference.

You don't need super accuracy to put meat on the table shooting does from a deer blind at a feeder 70 yards away while they're standing broadside nibbling corn. But when you have the buck of a lifetime coming into view at the end of legal shooting hours, and all you have is a small window in the brush to shoot through, you'll be glad you have the most accurate rifle possible.

Is it worth the extra $? That's for each hunter to decide. But there ARE conditions--even at less than 200 yards--where you will appreciate the extra accuracy.

OK str8shot1000.....you can't play but you can take a side.

If you select an average shooter from texags....go to Walmart/Academy/Bass Pro and buy a rifle in the box...scope it and pick up 300 rounds of factory ammo of choice.

Set up on the bench....once you get it on paper you start the contest.

The shooter(poledancer....just to pick a name) fires off 3 rounds....if a MOA is achieved he collects the agreed bet from logjam(....just to pick another) If he doesn't achieve MOA he pays logjam.

Say you do this 100 times in this scenairo. Who do you think will have more money at the end of the day? Average shooter...average day....average rifle....average scope...factory ammo.

Can you buy 300 rounds instead so the math is easier?

Fixed it for you.....I had it set up where you would have 100 bets and the ability to clean the rifle...shoot a foul round and then shoot for the money. those above average guys like to do that.....or so I've heard.

Now a smart shooter in that scenario would grab all the ammo, yell "you win" and get back in the truck and drive home.

Any self respecting guy with a custom gun would load at the bench...

Bring me a pound of powder (of my choice), 300 bullets, primers and cases...

Hitting a human sized target at 500 yards vs putting one in a deers vital areas are two totally different things. Come play at a 1000 yards with me sometime and then you'll understand.

I guess I need to post a pic of my rifle just so we can start something new to argue about...I'll win too, which will be nice...

$500 purse but to each his own

Do those things really work? I've always just used sandbags when sighting in.

One thing that always amazes me about my GAP is that it'll shoot the same POI using 5 different loads and accuracy won't degrade even after 500rds w/o cleaning

theres a guy on the history channel lighting a match with a bullet in a contraption offhand with a lever gun at about 20 yards.

Lets to that with the challengers.
