darn. i hate it when people make sense. i couldn't agree with you more, my friend.

i also totally agree about the snob effect. you don't need a kreighoff double to harvest elephant. w.d.m. bell did it with a lousy mauser. and osa johnson protected her hubby the same way.

and you don't need a $3000.00 us optics scope when a middle of the line burris, nikon, or loopy will accomplish the same thing. lyudmila pavlichenko killed 309 germans with a lousy 3 power russian scope during ww2.

one upmanship is the key word here. i guess thats why some folks drive bmws and lamborghinis.

i know it sure ruffles a lot of people at the trap club when i shoot as well as they do with my grandfathers ol' model 12 and they are looking at their perazzi's and berretas with contempt when the match is over.

oh, by the way, grossvater payed $39.95 for that shotgun if i remember correctly.

good shootin', bill
