Optics are overrated. I saw some douche with a red dot on a shotgun. I've seen high dollar Leopold on .22s. So many think they're an operator now. Running a platform. ffs
Anon at 11:10 - you have no idea what you're talking about. Go to Cyclops Joe Rhea's youtube channel and let him explain the difference between a cheap scope and a pricey one. Watch him do a box test on a cheap scope and you'll see why people that actually do know what they're talking about use high dollar scopes. Then as long as you're there, let him show you what he can do with a high end 22LR and a great scope. And I've seen several people with red dots on their shotguns. That's not for me, but if it works for them, go for it.
hey Ken, thanks for the Joe Rhea thing on youtube, ive been wanting to learn about scopes for my old eyes. . . . everything i was taught was old school iron sights. been thinking of getting one of them new mk4's w\ a good scope for plinkin'.
He's got a great sense of humor and he knows what the hell he's talking about. The first time I ever saw him do a box test on a cheap scope, I just about shit. I couldn't believe how much it tracked off. You'd think if you clicked 10 right, 10 down, 10 left and then 10 up, it would return to zero, wouldn't you? Yeah, me too.
I have a Mauser with a scope on it. I have never even shot it. The last time I hunted deer, around 3 years ago come this November, I killed a nice spike horn with a shotgun with a 18" barrel, and just plain old sight, at around 50-60 yards, with a slug. I know that I can't shoot a rifle much further than that, even with a scope. #19 reminds me of the joke, "My ex wife could play both parts of the Naked and the Dead."
#15: All fun and good until that dog accidentally turns the AC off or the heater on and you don't show for another 15 minutes and come back to a dead dog. Don't leave dogs in cars.
#18 - LOL! Yeah, that'll be the day. The Disney cartoon is so far of the racist European royalty supremecist book that it's laughable. I'd say "they can't make it worse!" but I don't want to encourage them, and am a little afraid of what they'd come up with.
Not that I or my kids (who ARE the right age) would watch that shit anyway. I hate remakes. And at 1-2 movies a month, we won't run out of good stuff badly enough to watch utter gay shit anyway.
#11 A line I read in a novel somewhere: "Heaven is where all the dogs you loved run out to greet you:" If I want tears, I watch the "Twilight Zone" episode "The Hunter", having to do with where a hunter and his dog go after death.
#20. Love those iron sites. Best part of shooting a Garand.
ReplyDeleteIron sights are more of a spare tire. You'll probably never need them, but they're handy to have when you do.
ReplyDeleteBetter keep that spare tire in top notch condition. Your going to need it
DeleteHave you ever shot anything but a poodle shooter?

Hope I make it to my "other side" pack.

This made me mostly smile or shake my head thinking what the hell

ReplyDeleteShut up. I hate dogs. Always have. And you're STILL making me wish my wife was cutting onions in the other room so I'd have an excuse.
DeleteJohn G
Loving you Anonymous (6:19), I don't even have a wife and yet someone is cutting onions.

heaven is a green meadow, by a river, where all the dogs you ever loved run to greet you.
ReplyDelete#s 11 and 20 made MY day !
ReplyDeleteIf #11 is true, I'm ready to go now.
ReplyDelete#14: add "dog guys (and girls)" to that list.
ReplyDelete#11 A line I read in a novel somewhere: "Heaven is where all the dogs you loved run out to greet you:" If I want tears, I watch the "Twilight Zone" episode "The Hunter", having to do with where a hunter and his dog go after death.
ReplyDelete#11: You have no idea how much I hope this is true.
