[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2300249, member: 116181"] Serious time now, but yes I agree. There comes a point where a hardware upgrade takes you to the next level. If someone doesn't need to be or want to be at that level, fine, but some of us are there and need to take the next step up to keep progressing. A $400 rifle might shoot perfectly well, but when the time comes that it doesn't do what you need it to (if that ever comes), can that rifle be upgraded, repaired, or improved upon? My custom build will probably be a dozen different rifles over time, meanwhile my Ye Olde Browning A-Bolt II can't even be rebarreled without potentially pulling the threads out of the action. That rifle has zero value other than what it can do right now, my fancy lighter-wallet gun can turn into anything I want it to be for about the cost of a new off the rack rifle. Reminds me of the old joke: I've had this here shovel for 50 years. Replaced the handle five times and the head six.... The absolutism is a bit off-putting to be sure. IDK why intelligence has to be questioned because "My Situation" is different from "Your Situation". Meet people where they are, and do what Momma taught you: if you can't say anything nice, don't say it at all. Better yet keep your mouth shut because nobody wants to hear what you have to say anyways. Now go clean your room and take a shower, you're stinking up my house". 🤡 Gotta love Moms. (that was another joke. Breathe, Karen, breathe. in and out. in and out.) [/QUOTE]
