That's a true story!!

It seems like shit kickers are the same all over the world. We have them here too in a Swedish version. They don't know anything at all. I have experienced a few funny guys. Sometimes i get the feeling they don't want to be educated.

On came in my towns local gun shop and asked to buy one round in 3006 soo he would fil the requirements to hunt by having a full magazine for his rifle. The owner asked which weight and bullet style he would like to have? The answer was -heavy one!!! The owner gave him a five pack soo he was geard up for next season too.

I was at a steer roping one time and heard a friend of mine talking about how dumb this stupid s.o.b. was and that he couldn't rope his foot, much less steers...That stupid dumb s.o.b. was Dr. Debeki, the famous heart surgeon, my friend was a $200 a month cowboy working on someone elses ranch....go figure.

"One thing and a sure thing I've learned since I been born, thats every educated feller ain't a plumb greenhorn" an excerpt from the song, " The Cowboy in a Continental Suit".....True story.

I had a similar experience in a Miss hunting camp. This guy had a nice looking Browning BBR in 7mm Rem mag. I asked to look at it, so I examine the gun and see that the barrel is almost plugged with rust. I point it out to him, and he says "Rust! Is that bad?" Yes I explain to him, your gun is unsafe to fire in it's present condition. He says, "o'k I will get Dave to help me clean it" Dave was his gun expert buddy. I finish unloading my pickup, and go back inside the camp house, he an Dave have an old coat hanger with a peice of a rag tied to it pulling it through the bore. It got stuck, so then that played with the coat hanger for 30mins to push it out.

The ones that make the best stories as well as make one cringe are the ones who follow a given idea to the point that it becomes absolutely absurd.

Give me a hunting or shooting partner who is not afraid to ask a "stupid question" every time. Know it alls just leave me shaking my head.

A few seconds after he got to her,and says what I told him to says, ole Annabel hauled off ,slapped him in the face, and left in a Huff.

JimmyJoBob came back to me and I says "what went wrong"? "I says to her what you told me to says and she hauled off and hit me".......he says!

"Well what did you says"? ; I says. He says, "I says what you tells me to says" ; He then says, "I says", "Hey baby you loose"?

"That isnt what I says you to says" , I says. I says, "I told you to says" , "Hey baby NICE TOOTH"!

I never seen JimmyJoeBob after that. I'd heard later that he'd been accepted into Yale................10

I notice that some of our friends that know English as a second language do better with it than we Americans do.

Naw, you have to keep up. The rusted barrel redneck, was another guy.

You have a lot of nerve bitching about someone elses grammar (you spelled grammer).

Guns, cartridges, calibers, hell even common sense are not taught in school; but grammer is.

It's a good thing YOU are not teaching in school.

Hey GSF1200, This sounds like the guys that developed one of Mr. Ray's "favorite" devices - the Bore Snake.

Does nothing but "bite the billfold" and leave the bore dirty.

Ssleefl buddy, I almost wrote "Hey buddy, isn't that SHOAL of tuna?" until I recalled that school is the same, if we're talking fish.

But I must agree with Vibra in that the grammar and spelling leaves a lot to be desired from quite a few. It's the same here in Sweden, it seems like some people just don't care. I personally find that sad - we just don't have that many dyslexics in this world...

I fully admit I'm a poor speller (like my father before me ), so I have no right to judge. I'm certainly not bitching. My mother was a middle school English teacher that corrected any grammar error I ever uttered, and having been on the receiving end, I'm loathe to openly correct others.

I do have to hand it to those on the board who speak English as a second language. I speak a bit of German, but I certainly could not hold my own on a German gun board.

It's scarier when that happens in an area (western Penna.) that traditionally turns out lotsa gun cranks.

Yes, we western Pennsylvanians are pretty sad. My brother's father-in-law got a 300 Wby from the kids one Christmas. He had been using a 6m/m Rem for the last 20 years. He brought it to my little range to check it out, and had a box of 300 Win. Mag. ammo for it. I asked him why he had that, and he said "That Weatherby stuff costs too much". This from a pretty smart guy; he just thought all '300 Magnum' ammo was the same. We got him the proper ammo, and,
after about five shots, he took the rifle and traded it on a 308 Win. Hopefully he won't show up with 308 Norma Mag ammo.

I've seen guys trying to put 22-250 ammo into 223's, another with 32 Specials in a 30-30. No wonder the manufacturers are so paranoid.

What's really scary are the intentionally stupid ones. A local non-rocket scientist uses an old 303 British Lee-Enfield. When a round is fired, the case comes out with two shoulders on it. He insists it's nothing to worry about.

Your Fuck you is accepted as given. The only reason I said anything is because YOU were the one who was bitching about the, "total lack of proper use of the English language" in your post. If you want to bitch about someone elses grammar,get yours right first. That's like ragging on someones car as you drive down the street in your duct taped Pinto. I just thought it was to ironic to pass up. Sorry!
