Am I the only one

I gave up after page 3 looking for the point of this discussion.. Could someone explain to this old granddad why some folks can argue about any old damn thing?I see young guys at the range with tacticool rifles all the time. No problem, they are in to shooting, that is a good thing. My first rifle 60 years ago was a Garand, pretty tacticool back then. I bought it because the guy in the hardware store did a demo for me. He had a trap door in the back of the store with a sandpit at the bottom that he used to testfire guns for potential buyers. He emptied that 8rd clip, and I said, OK, I'll take it. It looked like fun. No social statement, it just looked like what a fellow needed. Same thing now, if it works for me I'm happy. If a 30-30 levergun in a chasis with a flashlight and a red dot back up suits your fancy, fine by me, your money. If you got a beard and like wearing a dress , I have no issues Just don't beat your dog, your kids, your wife or bug me and there will be peace in the valley. My favourites now are a stainless steel /fiberglass stocked bolt action and a Winchester 71.But I sure wish I still had that Portuguese AR10 I had back in the day though, emptying a 20rd clip from that sweetie was cool.
You kids play nice now, I've got rifles to clean.

Post of this whole thread right here
 
I’m new to this and agree… When it comes to guns… to each their own.

Anyways… it’s entertaining to see how worked up people get. I’ll pop a bag of popcorn when I read the posts that follow mine.

Let er rip!

Am I the only one who finds these new military styled hunting rifles repulsive?Perhaps even worse are these traditional lever actions all zombies out.

Personally, I agree to a point, but I also appreciate and use what is best suited to the intended use. Generally, classic wood stocked rifles for hunting for me, but I love old and new styles when they are the best choice, or used by personal preference.

Redundant calibers such as 6.5 creed have me shaking my head. Good marketing, over-sold, and resulted in commercial ammo being harder to find for a lot of great cartridges like the .260 remington and 6.5 x 55. I hand load, so I don't care.

Oohhhh great rebuttal.... nobody ever saw the Hey Boomer Cult show up to flex and pose before this.

The kiddies obsessed with those who are older than them. All because the kiddies are upset that some of the people who don't share their preferences in firearms are also older than they are.

Fast twists, great chamber geometry and fits in an AR-10 style mag is not redundant.

Personally prefer it to 6.5x55 due to efficiency anyway. But its not like components for any of the other 6.5 CM were exactly plentiful anyway. 6.5 CM is doing the diameter a big favour by spurring development of great bullets.

No one ever caring about 260 Rem aint 6.5 CM's fault haha
