Now cone on I know you hate me but you love tikkas, cut rifled barrels, eldx’s, 6.5 cm’s, 7o8 ai’s h4350 etc.

This has inspired me to break out my Weatherby when I can once again buy components for it.

It’s a Sheridan model.

They didn’t come out with that line while they were in Paso Robles

It always comes down to the Indian behind the arrow. Numerous times I've seen folks stick a ton of money in a rifle thinking it's going to make them shoot better groups, when the truth is they just don't know how to pull a trigger. A good shooter can shoot a bad trigger, a bad shooter can't shoot any trigger.


Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

I seriously doubt a great shooter could make sorry equipment shoot good.

I've taught several people how to hand load for their rifles. And I've told them, when testing their loads, they have to be a perfect shooter. It takes some reading and/or instruction, then lots of practice. Since my Optometrist keeps my eyes sharp, and my blood pressure is normal, I can turn in 1/4 MOA or better. I've posted them here before.

This was simply showing what this MK V can do. It's a half MOA factory rifle. I can shoot tighter, but it can't. Still, this is quite good for a mass production rifle.

I agree but factory rifles shoot so much better than they used too so it’s getting to be more about the shooter nowadays.

At least you're humble about it.

"It ain't bragging if you can do it."

Someone is always going to get bent out of shape at what someone else writes or says. So, I don't give a crap anymore. Because I have, and can do it. It happens weekly.

Never met JG, so I have no skin in the game. If someone states a fact, it is not bragging, racist, sexist, condescending, congratulatory, and any other number of things. It is purely a fact. I've never seen him do what he claimed, but I'm quite certain he wouldn't make that claim if it weren't true. A fact is a fact, and only that.

Disagree, but that's OK. I played against Roger Clemens, the most arrogant prick you'd ever want to meet, and incessant braggar. Can't argue with his accomplishments, but didn't negate the fact he was a braggart.

Did he claim anything he couldn't do, or hadn't accomplished?

Anyone who ever knew the guy would not possibly argue against the fact he was and egotistical braggart. As I said, we disagree and that's fine with me. His own teammates knew it because I knew several of them very well.
