My last trip to the range turned out to be a really good day with a few hand loads. Sitting a few seats down from me was another guy who was also shooting a .308. After a trip down range to post new targets he asked what I was shooting. I told him a Savage 10FP. He noticed my targets and said, "That Savage shoots ok but my 700 will shoot 1/4" measuring outside to outside with hand loads. I said, "Don't you mean center to center?" "Hell no, outside to outside!" "Let me get this straight, you can shoot .25" outside to outside with a .30 cal bullet?" "Damn right" he said. I replied, "Amazing! Simply amazing!"

I absolutely would have challenged him to shoot a 1 round group that small outside to outside.

Re: Amazing! Simply AMAZING!
He may have assumed you knew that when measureing "outside to outside", you subtract .308 from the equation.
okie

Re: Amazing! Simply AMAZING!
I seriously should have made a bet with him! My mind was not working that quickly after his proclmation. I'm sure I'll see him again.

That hilarious! I went into the local gunshop just today, after mailing a package, only to find a small crowd of no less than 8 men sitting around debating why today's snipers miss so much. To which they all agreed it was becuase todays generation are not as good of shots as they were during WW2 and Vietnam, and the rifles needed different stocks to help the new snipers control the rifle when aiming. Slightly annoyed, I squeezed by the large crowd that was blocking the only aisle in the store. I then heard the self elected expert of the group loudly exclaim, "if they would use American scopes, they wouldn't need the magazines to compensate for all of the misses they are making!!". At this point I had almost bitten my tounge completely off, as it became very clear they had very little experience in the shooting world and had no idea what they were talking about, he went on to say," because I can hit a frying pan at 1400 yards with my grandads 22-250 all day!". I couldn't take anymore, and sat down what I had and left the store. It never fails to amaze me how clueless a group of people can be.

Re: Amazing! Simply AMAZING!
I think you should of brought the 1/4" out side to out side shooter a glass of water, he must always be thirsty being such a mouth breather!
The best thing is just to keep to your self b/c if someone makes a claim like that there is no way they would understand what you are trying to tell them.

Re: Amazing! Simply AMAZING!
+1 on them not understanding even if u explain---I had a customer last week who was counseling all who would listen in our waiting room about the virtues of the Countersniper scope
being the greatest ever--his rhetoric was straight from their ad
---he didn't even flinch when I asked about his rifle of choice
for his stellar choice of optics--a "Winchester" 30-30! I shook my head and left as I heard him explain how this scope allowed him to "hit" deer at "over" a 1000yds!
