Things you wont hear from a levergunner...

Post by Chuck 100 yd »

How about....

I reform .38-55`s into .30-30 so I can shoot this rare caliber.

How about you?? :D

"wanna see my AR?" - is what you'll rarely hear from a levergunner
"wanna see the original semi-auto assault rifle?" - is much more fun to say

The .444 is better than the 45-70. Yep, this one will get things in an uproar. :twisted:

Why would anyone question such an obviously correct statement? :lol:

A few more you won't hear.

My scope cost $1400.

My rifle flops around in a scabbard!

Don't you hate when a new rifle doesn't come with iron sights, scopes can break!

My neighbor thinks I'm a terrorist everytime I carry my rifle into the house.

Rimmed cartridges are obsolete, everyone knows that.

Wood stocks sure are ugly.

I really like those fast small caliber cartridges.

Gas operated is the only way to go.

I like the look of those black plastic stocks.

.45-70 just isn't accurate enough for me.

Revolvers are just too hard to shoot and reload.

Why don't they add another safety to this gun.

‘Wanna’ see my new muzzle brake?

Got really close to that spike buck -- finally got a shot at 300 yards. Tough old buck took 6 hits from my .338 Lapua magnum to keep him down.

Can I borrow your lead sled?

Got my ammo at Cabela’s -- cheapest price in town, only $89.99 for a box of 20.

Brass is $250.00 per hundred and I get 75 rounds from a pound of powder.

Hunt was ruined – airline lost the ammo box and the local mom & pop sporting goods store as well as Wal-Mart didn’t have the right ammo.

Loading dies are special order and run about 100 bucks.

Sighted it in ‘coupla’ days ago and my shoulder still hurts.
