Which brands have the most insufferable fandom? Geissele? BCM? Noveske? Colt? Sig?

[LilGucci]

I've just been thinking about it a lot and have been wondering, which brands have:

1.) the most die-hard apologists that will defend their brand of AR-15s and AR-10s to the end?
2.) the most toxic fandom
3.) the fans where the brand can do no wrong in their eyes, despite quality control issues, weapon failures, and/or performance and value just not adding up?

Or it could be which brand has the most fans that are still living in the past or holding on to a reputation that no longer exists.

Full disclosure, I'm a Radian and Noveske fanboy. Those two brands cannot do any wrong in my eyes, except for Noveske releasing the Chainsaw, which I'm not too proud of. Sorry Bolt-action people or scope-sluts, I haven't gotten into either of those two areas yet so I don't know too much about them, but feel free to participate if this applies to your arena too.

Vortex, and whatever Chinese scope company that comes out with loose sales areas and fud level prices, Glock, “loopold” and the gold ring Fudd. Shal I go on?

 

[Bender]

Oh, and HK hates its own customers. But I do love my P-30.

Is Nightforce as bad? I see a lot of guys running those. My dad was a Leupold engineer and I grew up being a fan of them but I think some of their stuff is overpriced, getting by with having gotten army contracts.

The Glock guys are pretty bad though haha.

I've heard HK doesn't hate us quite as much these days, but we still suck to them.

We had the “My precious” Nightforce guy on here years ago. Literally asked wtf to do cus his new ATACR scope got a mark on it coming out of the safe. Memes were made, people shamed, laughs were shared. Good times. But Vortex and “muh warranty” got old fast.

I have a 2010 Armadillo bottle opener from them. You interested???

It amazes me the kind of money people will pay for those old bottle openers from LaRue.

BCM...... because is is worst then PSA and people think it is good because they pay more for advertising then QA/QC......

KAC and I don't think it's even close.

Come on now, have you spoken to an F150 owner? Wouldn't be surprised if they slam their dick back and forth on the muffler sidewalls.

The KAC homos are by far the worst. LMT is a close 2nd

Lots of fun in this thread.

Mine is a very popular company. I just don't see the love for them......

Ruger.

They have such great customer service........

Yea they do.....because they need it.

 

[cas6969]

Over the years I've had more than a couple people insist I try their amazing new Geissele trigger. Still waiting for the amazing part. (compared to the mil-spec or worse parts they were probably using prior, I guess to them it was)

I work with a young guy who is a rabid Vortex fanboy... despite not owning any. (Huh?)

 

[fdkay]

Glock and 1911 fanboys are two sides of the same coin.
The boutique AR15 crowd is pretty insufferable as well.

Oh yes. The Tikka ass hats. Tikka invented the bolt action.

[redneckbmxer24]

It has far less to do with any one or a hundred brands and more the psychology of most people. Most people just don't want to believe that they bought anything but the best or that it has any shortcomings or that they made a mistake buying a piece of shit. Therefor they'll defend their personal choice even when it has obvious problems and often won't even admit it when those problems are experienced. It can be applied to any product.

I'd say the poors buying chinesium or cheap junk in general are the worst though.

*waits for the "you probably typed that on a chinese device, derp" reply*

Oh yes. The Tikka ass hats. Tikka invented the bolt action.

I never understood the cuckling associated with the Tikka stuff. I have a few Sako actions that are nice. But even those don’t come close to a BAT, Defiance, Borden, etc

They make a solid rifle at a good price point. It's the fanboys that will claim it's as good or as smooth or as accurate as alpha tier stuff that are the issue and make it gay. Whatever you do don't tell them that it's not uncommon to break bolt stops or that the CM barrels are dogshit slow.

The Larue crowd over on Arfcom are horrible.

Are they even still around? Seems his website still exists but haven't heard anything about them on hunting or gun boards in a long time. I regret selling the 6x hunting scope I had as well as the ONE 3-18x that actually worked.

People like what works for them and aren't shy about letting everyone else know its better that anything else out there. I tend to stick with what has worked for me but I'm also willing to try something different, except Vortex. I will not try anything Vortex. I cannot remember the last time I was on a firing line where a scope went down that wasn't a Vortex. I'm not saying other brands don't have issues nor am I saying that all Vortex's fail. I'm just saying in my experience, if a failure happens, it's a high probability it's a Vortex.

By the way, I hate Glocks but I also recommend Glocks to new shooters because I know they work no matter what.

Us US Optics fanboys get pretty worked up and if you say anything bad about us, we will get up out of our recliners and chase your ass down on our HoverRounds and beat you with our canes.

Take that Nightforce chicks!
