Has anyone else ever noticed that no one seems to shoot their rifles.....
Seems every rifle I look at in the classifieds are always, "I only put 10 rounds through her." or "Bought this as a secondhand back-up rifle, first owner only took it out of the safe on Thursday mornings during full moons and I put 7 rounds down the barrel to sight-in, but it shot a .020-inch 5-shot group at 400yards!"
You never see the ad that goes, "I shot the crap out it and haven't cleaned this barrel since it was installed by the factory.....there might not be any rifling actually left in the barrel, but I still think it's value is at least 12times what I paid for it."
This isn't limited to this forum, I see it at absolutely every forum that there is a classified section, so don't get ya'll feathers ruffled here....it's everywhere!
