busheler, i think i understand why you like fixed, simplicity of the scope so less to go wrong (could be wrong) but, what variable scopes do you like?

Less moving parts and less parts in summation,simply reduce the odds of failure. The only Variables I suffer anymore,are 1-4x SWFA's pinned to 4x,so that their reticles match their erectors,regarding subtention values.
I have puked too many Variables,so as a rule,avoid them like the plague.................

I know a lot on this forum have issues with Busheler. His approach has the feathery touch of a sledgehammer but it's wildly entertaining. I just don't take any of this as seriously as some and find it funny as sh*t. I'm well aware I'm probably in the minority on all of the above. Below made me laugh. Nope...only Facts and Physics,which exceed your "abilities" to "understand". Slow day. Hint...............

Refreshing it is. Gets old watching the self-appointed eggsperts with their "look at me" dispositions and the kochgobblers that follow them around, doting on their every word. Most of whom are on this thread.

I just don't take any of this as seriously as some and find it funny as sh*t. I'm well aware I'm probably in the minority on all of the above. I have no issue with disagreement. I have politely disagreed with several of our local gurus on this thread. What I find astonishing is a level of ignorance that many could only aspire to. I also can't help but enjoy the irony of a keyboard warrior questioning the facts, physics, and abilities of a mechanical engineer (myself) just because I disagree with him. Clearly some major insecurities. The past few days have essentially gone from normal discussion to this guy pulling out a measuring tape for his johnson for all of us. Anyone with any sense at all can see that he's compensating for something. What he's compensating for (lack of brain cells or genital cells or both) is anyone's guess.

Most of whom are on this thread. I challenge you to find one single post of anyone self appointed themselves an expert. However, there are some people whom recieve lots of PMs per week asking for help, and they receive that help, all the way until the problem is gone. And your boy. He is gone. Shocker! He is mentally I'll. You've hooked your wagon to an obvious crazy man.

I don’t doubt that he is crazy. He’s also obnoxious. I just don’t take him seriously, and he’s entertaining.
Or was, rather. I didn’t expect it to last long.

Like I mentioned before, he is quite knowledgeable. If only he could share his knowledge in a less maniacal fashion, which he did for a time on another forum, but he apparently could not maintain any semblance of calm. It appears that he was ejected from that forum, but I don’t know that as fact. He just can’t play well with others, but finds it more fun to be insulting and disruptive. It’s a shame.

As far as Larry goes, I will concede that his delivery is a bit "rough" and difficult to cypher at times. I've "known" him for almost a decade, have spoken with him on the phone to discuss technical reloading stuff, and know he is the real deal. Crazy? I don't know.

There are folks on this thread that I consider to be experts in specific areas. We are probably thinking about the same folks. From time to time I disagree with them. But I don’t think i’ve ever seen any of those folks saying anything that was flat out wrong. Opinions, however, can vary considerably.
This is a good forum, with knowledgeable folks that are usually polite, and the forum is well managed (policed, if I may).
And I agree that Larry/busheler and under several other aliases is a knowledgeable looney. The only problem is that most of what we see is the looney, and personally I don’t care to sift through all that for a few nuggets of rifle or reloading wisdom. We can get all the info we need from folks that stay on their meds.

A side a spade? That doesn't compute.
Different strokes for different folks.
I for one, have no time for any person thay belittles everyone that responds to them. Hell, he even belittles those that agree with him.
Had you learned about him, what I did today, you might have the same bead on him.

He definitely has an opinion about almost everything (I don't really agree about fixed power scopes though) and seems to have the knowledge and experience to back it up. I Just wish someone had a d%#n BUSHELER dictionary so I could figure out what he's saying half the time.
