Coincidence or what.
One of our guys decided to retire at the end of the year which is most unusual because we don't have a set retirement age you just quit when you have had enough. Or normally just drop dead and have to be removed from the premises.
Any way we interviewed and eventually made an offer we decided it might be prudent to maybe employ a younger person. So we did. So the first day on the job I find out he is a Deerstalker and has land on which he keeps the fox and rabbits in check.
Great stuff. I also reload he said. Excellent. His next question was what type of heads do you use in your .308. End of conversation how long he lasts remains to be seen.

Or indeed one of the many other UK stores that uses the same terminology.

Or perhaps you could take him under your wing and explain why his terminology is wrong, instead of righting him off...radical, I know, but just a thought.Alpha1 wrote:So the first day on the job I find out he is a Deerstalker and has land on which he keeps the fox and rabbits in check.

Just as well you were alert Alpha, just the sort of phrase that gives the game away. - This guy was obviously a plant from the GNC or other anti-shooting organisation trying to worm their way in. Next thing you know he's on the forums spreading all sorts of poison and giving us all a bad name.

Heads.....it's like those folks that continually refer to a Mosin as a "Nagant"!

When folks spell it as "Moisin" it can work to your advantage, especially on auction sites and the likes of Gunstar/Guntrader.Had plenty of bits and bobs off Ebay for next to nothing as people can't spell properly in their listing!.
