So a buddy and I went up to the local gun shop so he could shoot his AR today. While my buddy on the range I stayed in the shop just shooting the shit. And on the way out the door one of the guys behind the counter made the statement to me that "I sort of a purist, if it doesn't say Remington 700, Leupold, or Colt I don't want it". In turn a chuckle and express my dismay with Remington and Leupold. So the guy behind the counter asked what my asked me what scope I use and I tell him Premier. In reply I get this dumbfounded look and the response that he has never heard of them. Thus I tell him a little history about Premier and where they come from. In reply I get "Well I like things that a proven and test". So at this point they man has proven his ignorance/stupidity. Then the question comes to me about why I don't like Remington. Thus my answer is that I don't like the machine work and will take a custom action every time over a factory Remington. And the reply I get is that Remington actions are the exact same actions as customs and that custom action offer no benefits over a factory Remington. At this point the conversation is over and I'm just trying to get out the door before I start and argument that will get me banned for life. But I found the conversation rather laughable and figured some ya'll might also.

Re: Funny conversation at the gun shop today
I had those conversations all the time until I took my rig into the shop for a little show and tell. Without even shooting it they came to the conclusion that I may know a little of what I'm talking about and now when I happen to be in the shop the guys behind the counter ask me the questions. Its kind of funny to see the faces of some of the customers when they see that happen.
Good luck,
Merritt

Makes me appreciate my shop all the more. Pretty knowledgeable and when they don't know the answer, they are smart enough to shut up and point you in the direction/resource who does.

Re: Funny conversation at the gun shop today
Sounds familiar. I don't even bother to try to explain why I would zero at 100 yards instead of 250 or 300, or why I like scopes with those little dots instead of a thin crosshair.

When I bother to go to cigar shops or gun shops you get the same stuff. I long ago stopped being surprised by people in shops that are neither current on market trends nor have any clue about the high end of the market be it cigars guns or gawd forbid the people on the floor in a Harley dealership.
Coffee, motorcycles, cigars and guns... things I am obsessive about, don't even bring up Starbucks unless you have time for a lesson in high end coffees (I operate a small roasting company)

Re: Funny conversation at the gun shop today
At my local public range I have numerous hunters that swear by pencil barrel Browning rifles and how they're all "lasers" and Barska is a FINE company as all scopes are basically the same.
That's when I ask to see a 3-5rd group at 100yds. Once they shoot a 1.5-3.5" group, I bust out my 10/22 and shoot a sub-moa group. Then I just act surprised, say that's the best group I've ever shot, etc. and let them come to their own conclusions.
My 10/22:
B&C Target/Varmint Stock
Stock Ruger Bolt, Receiver, Firing Pin
Hornet Custom Trigger Group (~3lbs)
Tactical Solutions 16" barrel
Vortex PST FFP 4-16x50

Re: Funny conversation at the gun shop today
You guys should try a gunshop in Kommiefornia. It will make you appreciate the meatheads you have in your local shops. I'll drive 70+ miles through gridlocked LA traffic just to go to a shop that knows what they're talking about.

Re: Funny conversation at the gun shop today
Sounds like you didn't explain the history right. All you had to say was Premier was the company that used to fix Leupolds and make them work better. Now they won't touch them since they build their own.

Idiot: (wanders up muttering) You got a silencer, there? Them's illegal! You better get that outa here befores the po-leece sees it!
Me: (reaches into pocket, pulls out a dollar bill, unfolds it with a pop.) If I give you this, will you stop speaking and go away?
Idiot: (REALLY perplexed) Uhhh... (wanders off)

Sometimes, if the questioner seems a decent sort, I'll let them shoot a round or two. If they're boobs, I'll request they reimburse me the cost of the round they are about to shoot...I ask $7 (.338 Lapua). That usually puts the kibosh on their desires and they go back to shooting their hyper-accessorized Chinese SKS's.

I did this not too long ago......I prefer my private ranges but there is a range local to me that has some indoor rifle lanes. It was raining, I was bored and I wanted to shoot so I loaded up the rig and grabbed the suppressor. At weapon check I asked the RO if I could use my suppressor provided I had the paperwork. He had to ask another worker since the owner was gone. I busted out the form 4 and they looked over it. Don't think either of them had ever seen one. So then all the questions started. How did you get this? What's the process? Blah blah blah. I really wish some shop owners would make it a training requirement for their workers to be 100% knowledgeable on all gun laws within their state. I got a few crazy looks from others in the showroom while I was waiting. Take your knowledge and your gear to a local public range sometime and see what happens....lol

Re: Funny conversation at the gun shop today
Had a kid working the floor at Gander Mountain (I know, not a gun shop, but they sell them anyway. Not much around here.) tell me he really wanted one of the new Savage bolt action slug guns. Said they only have a 6 inch drop at 200 yrds. I said, "Nice. I'm sure with the right ammo it will." He replied "No, it will do it with any ammo." I stood there stunned for a second, and left as soon as I could to find my wife some clothes for her birthday.
Did you guys know Savage was making magic guns?

Re: Funny conversation at the gun shop today
I have noticed this for years. I think there is such a mystique around the rifle world that people just start to lose their frickin minds. Everybody wants to be Davie Crockett, Daniel Boone, or Carlos Hathcock and they think they have a field of interest cornered that nobody knows anything about so they start bloviating everything they have heard to make themselves sound AWESOME! I think the problem is people have watched too many movies, read too many books, and listened to way too much gunshop bullshit and they just want to be special. My 2 pennies.

Re: Funny conversation at the gun shop today
Your gunshop guys are right on, but they're thinking 4 MOA accuracy at 400yds is the gnat's ass because that's probably what they need to be a good hunter. You're a shooter with more difficult goals and they don't need a Premier scope and GAP rifle.

At the local shop the other day a guy asked to see a High Point 9mm. Said he wanted to start hunting deer and that 9mm was "ballistically the best cartridge for deer" That's a no shitter.

Re: Funny conversation at the gun shop today
I was looking at a Kimber CDP II - the guy suggested that you only use FMJ with it because at the range you would shoot such a short barrel, a hollow point wouldn't have time to open up.

'zactly. If asked any direct questions I do my best to make it sound like I have a Rem 700 knock off and an off brand scope short of flat out lying. The hard part is faking the correct amount of reverent awe when I'm told someone recently bought a VX-III.
Just get the transfer finished and get out before anyone's egos get hurt. That's the path to a healthy relationship with your local FFL holder.

Re: Funny conversation at the gun shop today
If you think you have heard ridiculous comments from gun shop employees you should try standing on their side of the counter. Some of the highest quality gun bilge I have ever heard has originated from black gun enthusiast Rambo wannabes.

Sounds like the gun shop owner would prefer McDonald's Cheese burger over his momma's. You go to McDonald's you get what they give you and a 1/8" patty of 25% beef. Mom's you decide what you want and you have quality beef.
I visit two or three gun stores, But I hang out at my Vestal's Gun Shop.

"Did you know that if you take an AR and cut a piece out, you can make it full auto?! My buddy did that and was able to kill a house with it...."
"...from the Space Shuttle..."
"...while orbiting Alpha Centauri."
Because although the story starts off as bullshit, it always gets bullshittierer.
