[QUOTE="*WyoWhisper*, post: 40820"] This thread did take off on a mind of its own I guess.. not what or where I intended... Stats.. the world basically turns by them and all I wanted was a set of values or criteria that we could establish what is or isn't a good gun for its perspective dicipline.. I have pretty much given up on that at least form this board... Boyd, You are right, I did bring it up a few times nothing personal against you.. we have always gotten along and I am sure we will in the future .. may even shoot together some day.. but I am not the only one who feels that way.. just one of the few on here who had balls to say how they feel.. STL's sentice a few posts earlier is how a lot of us non-br shooters feel at times... You guys do what you do and some of you are good at it, some are great, some are in the hall of fame... but we all can't adhere to the standards set forth by BR shooters and most of the guys here feel as though those are the standards you need to follow for a good or great rifle... My groups may be nothing special to you guys but until I see you guys take your hunting rifle lay down call your dope and fire 3 shots and hit all three with in 15" of you POA... then your tiny groups at 1K don't mean a thing to me... I am sure without question I could shoot a tiny groups with a 1K br rifle and correctly prepped ammo and hang with you guys... I have at least that amount of confidence in my ability.. but until I do it.. you guys will laugh and say " yeah right, whatever" What has really floored me was thay some here think I faked the distance or weather conditions that day .. for what reason on this earth would I have any reason to do that?? Especially if I invited a group of guys here to shoot for 3 days.. don't you think my ability would be exposed then? And maybe it will, because I actually intend to listen and learn for those 3 days! Call me selfish but I know I ain't the best and I want to learn more! For ME! You guys may or may not like S1 but for a hunting rifle/tactical set up he has the best criteria for evaluating if you have a good, or great rifle... until someone elightens me more I'll use that method. However, as always I am very open minded.. opinionated for sure but very open minded... to the rest who conritbuted.. thanks I have given all your posts some thought and I will try a few ideas...
