hey guys,
just as the name intells, lets hear you gun show stories, about people, guns and things.
i dont want to go on a rant but the past gunshow we had, i was aproched by a guy whom was a bit missinformed. so i though i would share it with you guys. i will say that i believe this to be on topic because it is equipment related.
this past show i was in the market for a RIA 1911 in the ccw persuation and had tracked down 4 or 5. i was chating with a very nice man about coming off of the 500.00 price tag . about the time the horse trading got going good an man aproched me to my left with questions about my 8400 tactical, not for sale just showing, and wanted to know why i put a leuopld on my remington 700!!!
i let it go and said "its accualy a kimber 8400 and i wanted the best for the best". we then got into a healthy debate no the quality of leupold mark 4 scopes.
the following is what i was told.
"leupolds are over priced piece's of junk. i had 4 of them and sold them all after i got this counter sniper. this counter sniper retails for over 3999.00 goverment issue price. i got this one on the net for 700.00."
i replyed with "great. i love myover priced leupold and i think ill keep her for now"
i kept my mouth shut, and tryed not to offend him.
