What he is saying is that if the stock was a little higher it would be more comfortable to use a scope. I really think anyone who graduated from the third grade could figure that out, but apparently JSG needs a little "extra" help.
No, his post states "The stock is low for a scope, but mine works OK." So it's either "low" or it "works OK," but it cannot be both. Perhaps he is as educated as you, which is to say he doesn't know much, but somehow feels compelled to contribute. Narcissism? Or is that word beyond your vocabulary? homer

Look up the word "infer". That's a concept you can't quite seem to grasp. Every other poster knew what he meant, but I'm not suprised that you didn't. There could also be the possibility that you also knew what he meant, but in your immature 4th grade mind, you thought it would be a good idea to stir up some shit. Like I said, pathetic, at best.

Is the fourth grade the highest level of education you've achieved? Or is that your biggest accomplishment? I gather from your posts that you are an individual of limited faculties; your use of "pathetic" as an insult bears out that assumption. (People with more than a "fourth grade education" typically have larger vocabularies.)

The individual stated that the "stock is low for a scope, but mine works OK," did he not? Just answer yes or no, Little Man. If it was "low," it would seem to indicate or INFER that it would not "work OK" with a scope, would it not? Is that too tough for you to understand? Does your fourth grade teacher need to explain it to you?

I'm sure you had some real "knowledge" of Model 88s to contribute to the discussion, vice your juvenile attempts at insults. How many Model 88s do you own? How many have you shot? Are you even old enough to legally own firearms? Does your mommy or daddy own a Model 88?

Until your next moment of "brilliance." homer

I can't think of a better word. Maybe you can help me. When I read your posts I feel sorry for you, because you obviously have some inner need to make yourself feel superior to everyone else. It is a pattern in all of your posts. Don't you find it ironic that in most of the threads you are a part of there is at least one, usually mutiple people, that think the same of you as I do? So I honestly think PATHETIC is the word that fits you best.

Try to follow this if you can. Suppose you have a bike. A small BMX bike intended for children. When you ride this bike the seat is too low. You can still ride the bike, but it is very uncomfortable. Now because the seat is too low, does that mean that the bike does not work? Can't you still ride the bike from point A to point B? Hence, The seat is too LOW but the bike works OK. Is that to much for you to follow? Let me know and I'll try and post pictures.

The answer is no to all of your questions. Did I ever point out that I had any knowledge of 88's? If so please point out where I did. My only point is that everyone else knew what he was talking about, except you. I think now is the time(as you have done in the past) for you to send me some more "juvenile" PM's calling me a mother f*cker, and and other mature terms you are so capable of writing. If that makes you feel better feel free to do so. You will get no response from me. This is my last post on the subject.

There's no need for me to make me "feel" anything. You already feel inferior, hence your caustic remarks. You have a pattern of repetitive insults, with the same one-dimensional thought process. You've accomplished nothing. You've imparted no "wisdom" to anyone with regards to a Model 88.

Hmmmm. I gather you aren't yet old enough to possess a driver's license. Is that correct? So by your "analogy," would you be willing to state the small bicycle "works OK?" (You're not very good at this.)

No, the poster stated the stock was "low for a scope, but works OK." That's what you would call a CONTRADICTION. Someday in school you'll learn that word. You might use it in a sentence. Like, "It's a contradiction to state Neverflinch's mother had kids that lived."

It is apparent you have no idea what "defensive" means. If someone is being "defensive" they usually resort to anger or accusations themselves. I don't remember asking you for your education level, I just guessed at what it might be. I think I was right.

Could you please type this in English. I'm having a hard time following this statement.

Lets do a review of your threads. If this is an indication of feeling inferior, then you need to seek help immediately. No one should have to go through life feeling that inferior.

Now that's a good attempt at a slam, or it would be if you hadn't already tried to use it once before. Are you going to pull the "I know you are but what am I" next? If not try "yo momma" jokes. They are about on your level.

Well not exactly. Now if "low" had the word "too" in front of it, that would be a contradiction. Someone of your vast intellect should know the difference. Example:

"My computer is slow to run this program, but it works o.k." Is this a contradiction?

Now try this one.

"My computer is too slow to run this program, but it works o.k."

Please tell me you can see the difference. If not, please repeat high school.


quote:

There you go not understanding the meaning of words again. Since my mother obviously had to have me, and since I am still typing this, I would have to be alive. I didn't know anyone who could at least type could be that stupid. I believe that about sums it up.

You are quite possibly the most dense person breathing. My comment is an insult, a variation on the OLD question, "Did your mom have any kids that lived?" Inferring that you may have been a miscarried or aborted fetus. However, it's likely not an inference where you're concerned.

There is no such thing as a "1969 Win Model 88," smart feller. Other than the serial number range -- which can sometimes be off by a few -- it's not any different from any other post-64 Model 88 rifle. That's called a trick question. Duh.

Think.

Post.

In that order.

Just some Guy---Please elaborate on the serial number being off a few. You think Winchester records are wrong? If it has a serial number in the range of those made in 1969---it would be a 1969----nothing was said that it was different---except it has a basketweave stock vs checkering--which is true of all those made after 1964.

They have been known to be general in nature. This is not new. To most people. I'm sure you may have led and are leading a sheltered existence. There's no crime in that other than your life being slightly more complicated than necessary.

The inference was made that there was something significant in the claim that the gun was manufactured in 1969, was it not? Sort of like a 1969 Camaro versus a 1968 Camaro, or a 1969 Mustang versus a 1970 Mustang. Guess you missed that, too. homer

Just Some Gay---With EMPHASIS(Using caps)you state "FYI ALL model 88's with serial number BELOW 148859 were made PRIOR to 1964-----" Now you tell me that the Serial Numbers have been known to be general in nature. Why all the emphasis if they might be wrong? Perhaps had you posted the serial numbers they would be EXACT?
You also state brendan muir was inferring there was a difference in the 1969 Model 88. I don't think he was. I think he was being descriptive. If there was an inference there maybe the rest of his post had one too. He stated it worked well on deer and lopes in Wyo in the 70's. Did he mean you couldn't for example use it in Idaho? Did he mean the Wyo deer and lopes were immune to it after the 70's?
I would suggest you have an IQ test,but it would be a waste as it's obvious it would be negative.

It's a known FACT (do you know what a FACT is?) that serial numbers of 148859 and greater were made with basketweave stocks, non-ferrous levers, and were shipped from New Haven in 1964 and later. Is that hard to understand? Should I type slower? Should I add pictures? Okay? I posted a sarcastic (look up the meaning of SARCASM and have your kids explain it to you) statement questioning the significance of a "1969 Win Model 88," did I not? Think, think hard. I know it's tough, but you might be able to reason it out. Okay? So what's the significance of a Model 88 made in 1969 versus one made in 1968 or 1970? Or in any of the other post-64 era Model 88s? Okay? Are you with me? Is the conversation clear? The inference was that there was something significant, was it not? Think about it, sport.

I believe he was describing the limits of his experience, was he not? And his experience with firearms also appears limited if he believes that they have year models. Like you believing in Santa Claus.

Oh, yea, that's a pretty good one. I wasn't aware that miscarried babies or an aborted fetus could type. Hmmmmmm wonder why that "insult" insn't used much anymore, if it ever was. If you want to keep using mine in other threads go right ahead. Let me know if you want any new material...."drawing pictures." I'm sure you can figure it out, but then again...
