How about a sticky for questions <span style="font-weight: bold">too</span> frequently asked, call it the "questions NOT to ask" sticky, with answers or links to said questions

examples;

-Who makes the best rifle?
-How often should I clean my rifle?
-How do you clean your rifle?
-Is this a good deal?
-How much should I sell this for?
-Remington or Winchester?
-S&B or USO?

Re: What NOT to ask on SH

The forum would slowly die and become a webpage with links to read. Don't like it, don't click it.

I'm with you there. This isn't the first online forum that I've been party too. Like most active forums there is a ton of info available if you stay away from the "Submit" button and use the "search" one, (though I gotta say that while the info can be very good the search function here is pretty weak)

My favorite is "Would one of the real snipers PM me".
 
Re: What NOT to ask on SH

Has anyone heard of the counter sniper scopes and if so are they any good?

Blind magazine VS DBM?

I have just started getting into the long range game, I want to shoot 1200+ yards. My local club has a 100Yrd range where I practice with my .17HMR, looking at getting a .338LM for my first trainer/LR rifle. What do you think?

Pros and Cons of going metric

Re: What NOT to ask on SH

Remmy vs Savage?

I here Remington has the most aftermarket support but Savages shoot better out of the box? What do you guys think?
 
Re: What NOT to ask on SH

Why can't I post my 3 shot groups? Why do I have to follow some stupid forum rules when I have the Freedom of Speech on my side? Doesn't Frank know that this website should exist as a platform from which I express my high opinion of my opinion?

Re: What NOT to ask on SH

I am getting pretty good with my crossman .177. I seen on TV where some sniper dude shot a can of stew at over a mile. Should I get a 40x mag scope or a 60x mag scope? I hear Tasco makes them, would one of those be ok?

Re: What NOT to ask on SH

What is wrong with my rifle?
It's new and I've never fired it but I see that there might be dust or maybe some carbon on the crown.
The bore looks .0001 out of center from the barrel.
Oh and when I work the bolt it makes a dragging metal on metal sound when I pretend to chamber a round, is that normal?
Also, I took it to the range once and now there are tiny smudges of brass on the feed ramp, should I sent it back?
When I look through my ACOG the reticle is blurry, yeah I'm just in my 8x8 kitchen, so what?
 
Re: What NOT to ask on SH

How can I forget about this one:

I just bought <span style="text-decoration: underline">(insert equipment)</span> for <span style="text-decoration: underline">(insert dollar amount)</span> is it any good?
 
Re: What NOT to ask on SH

I nearly forgot,
My Remington 700 won't group under 2 moa with Wolf poly cased ammo.
This pisses me off because I shoot sub MOA all day long, off hand with my mil-spec CL MPI 1/7 M4.
WTF?

Re: What NOT to ask on SH

Will someone give me dope on my rifle to 1000yds, its a savage 17hmr with a bsa sweet 17 scope?" Please keep in mind I dont reload so it would have to be with factory ammo.

I dont know how far your rifle throws a mussel. I presume as fast as you can sling it, catapult style?
