Let's see.......I've got a Mannlicher Schoenauer and a Heym topped with Tasco Titans. I think that the Japanese made 30mm Titans are optically much better in dim light than my 3 Leupolds. I also shoot a Savage smokeless muzzleloader and of course it has a Tasco World Class Plus. And by the way, I use Sierra HPBT Gameking (NOT MATCHKING!) bullets in all my centerfires. Blaze Away!!!!!!!

HA !!!! You guys are a bunch of girls.............
Hell,, I still , upon occasion, sleep with my ex wife......

What kind of looks do you get from the other MDs there when you show up in the Carhartts?

Hey,

I figure if you have to do everything the rich and elite way, this forum ain't for me. I have all sorts of rifle/ scope combinations. I know what has and hasn't worked for me in the past. I use what works, and only shake my heads at people who hang 6x-18x scopes on their 30-30.

The funny thing is...people who see me at work in business casual would NEVER know me on the weekends!

I am all about pickups, gun racks, ball caps, ATV's, my kids, and old stuff.

The surgeons smile because I send them appropriate and complete referral notes/work ups when I send a patient to them.
The internists hold their noses because they see me for the hick that I am.
The Family Practice folks despise me because, as the last independent around here, I answer only to my patient's well being, and not to the head bean counter.
The radiologists can't tell what I'm wearing because their eyes haven't adjusted yet from the dim light in the viewing room.
Just like every body else on this earth they look through the prism of the particular lens that their experiences have shaped for them.

Damn, this is a great thread! Thanks for the laughs!

I shoot a circa 1910 British double rifle, live in Texas,
and drink Single Malt Scotch Whisky! Oh yeah, I love to read Peter Hataway Capstick.

My 14 year old Nissan Pickup 2WD has been rattling lately, so I'll throw in another set of heads cause it only has 204,000 miles on it. I don't drink, but I still piss in the rose bushes sober. I pick my nose, even while driving in traffic. I let my dogs out of the truck to chase down cats. I see patients in my ratty Carharts. I wear tennis shoes while riding horses to help friends chase their cattle out of the hills. Finally quit chewing when a patient made a comment about the brown racing stripe down the left side of the truck.
You're in the right place.

I use abbrasive cleaners, shoot Remingtons with Luepold scopes. I shoot plastic tipped bullets at deer, but refuse to use an expandable broad head. I really dig sub calibers. Sorta always thought that mausers were clubs (I have learned different) I do everything I can to be scent free when hunting but will bust a fart while in the stand. I chew copenhagen by the basket full and spit everywhere and in everything. When I drink, I drink a bunch. I drive an import truck. Pretty much everything I stand for has been flamed, ridiculed and insulted on this board at one time or another. I have been lucky to sit quietly while others get abused, but I know I will get a turn. This is still my favorite site on the net. Like a big happy disfunctional family.

Hornetfan: I go along with you on several of your "perverse proclivities" so to speak. You show such reasonableness by using Remingtons and Leupolds and you obviously are aware of how accurate the plastic tipped bullets are - BUT I draw the line at putting that dried and then shredded dog rockets they call Copenhagen, in your mouth!

You have gone overboard with that one!

You make me sick!

You backwoods, incestuous, immoral, unthinking, slovenly, ill mannered, NEANDERTHAL!

Stop that disgusting habit immediately!

There you have been flamed!

Hold into the wind

I fall into the same category as you for the most part. I also love my various worthless pushfeeds in all the wrong calibers. (but I have my share of CRF's too). I even own a Tasco scope and shoot that rifle frequently. I also own and shoot the often bashed on this site 45/70.

Cheers to being flamed for living how you want and shooting whatever pleases you.
