Built "off" the action

[Rembo]

The scope power thing really bugs me also.

A couple others that irritate me a lot are guys who just can't get it through there noggins that there is not a "u" to be found in the name "Brno",....it's NOT Bruno....one guy I know who has a "Bruno" rifle has a "shilling" barrel on it (or "in" it). Maybe he's telling me what he paid for it?
The scary thing is that he obviously owns a Brno rifle.......makes you question his reading skills, or if he actually has looked at the name on his rifle.

am I just getting old and critical or do these things also irritate any of you guys?

 

[guntech]

What about 'Loo o pold' scopes?

 

[SHELL SHUCKER]

Or Lee-o-pold as commonly pronounced by many.

 

[NAA]

I've always had to use Bushnell as apparently I couldn't properly pronounce Leupold.

How about the endless "muzzle break " ??
How many broken muzzles have you come across ?

 

[D-Man]

Ya beat me to it Kevan, muzzle "break" drives me nuts.....and while we're ranting, the use of "then" instead of "than" makes me nuts too.

 

[crazy_davey]

What about 'Loo o pold' scopes?

Or the guys who say Leupy.

 

[roche1982]

Saying 'built off' is similar to saying referenced. Makes no sense but that is the english language in a nut shell

 

[hoytcanon]

Or the guys who say Leupy.

Or post in the EE that they have a "Remmy Shotty" for sale...

"Bare - no" makes about as much sense as "Bruno" when you look at it from an English speaking point of view. Said properly or improperly, it's missing a letter either way.

 

[JJ-65]

Somebody has a case of AO fatigue, it's common and easy to remedy.

 

[RickF]

Yup, muzzle "break" makes me want to "loose" it sometimes. Takes me a minute to get "orientated" when that happens!

 

[Mauser98]

Here! Here!

 

[Eagleye]

There are so many of these mispronunciations. You hear many call their SAKO rifles "Sayco" properly it is "Sawko"

The muzzle "break" thing bugs me as well, Rick.

This list can go on indefinitely, for sure.

Regards, Dave.

Finally someone brings up the 3-9x40 etc...
It drives me crazy every time I see 3x9x40!

 

[Mister Donut]

What, no one has brought up magazines versus clips yet?

You didn't read carefully enough...

 

[looch]

"Change out" bothers me - "change" is sufficient. Also, are people dropping "to be" or are they mixing up "ed" and "ing" suffixes when they say things like: "the rifle needs fixed" or "the action needs cleaned"?

 

[Mister Donut]

Ah, post #20. My bad. Laser eye surgery makes for looking at the monitor like starting into the sun.

 

[NAA]

Or the guys who say Leupy.

Or "Remmy"; "Winnie"; and the worst..... "shottie".
