.308 Winchester
Anything called Tactical, black and plastic
Dillon Products
Mildot reticles or any with scribbles for a reticle
Long range hunting
Firearms legislation
UK Shooting organisations

For me its stuff that exists more for itself or its selling power rather than its purpose or usefulness.

Dillon?

Adam, you know I have the utmost respect for you but, are you mental?!!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

Shooters who should know better but are so ignorant/arrogant they're willing to sell out their fellow shooters to the government if it means their particular niche goes untouched (while failing to see they'll be next) :roll: kukkuk troutslapping

Fortunately i've not encountered any on this forum, PW on the other hand has scores of them who are PROUD of how they behave ****

Shooting stuff that you dislike but could have some merit

...some folk never understood the question!

Dislike...? Mmm....
Cannot think of much...actually, right now I cannot think of anything I dislike that MAY have some merit!

Items with NO MERIT: it'd run into dozens!
(Firearms laws that have no effect on criminal access or behavior, Italian guns, Turkish guns, AIRSOFT ANYTHING, Lee presses, Ruger 10/22s, alloy scope rings, pre-charged airguns, paintball guns, Blackhawk anything, "new" improved versions of old guns - the Browning Auto 5 for one, sling mounts/bipods that fit on the barrel, Magpul kit, Chinese knock-off scopes, the NRAs input over the self loading rifle ban, rimfires made by airsoft firms, etc. etc.)


1 possible; deactivated guns...ONLY redeeming grace for these though - is they provide a means to turn an otherwise shot out/worn out/broken/otherwise shagged out gun from a worthless safe paperweight into cash...
Anyone turning new/functional guns into de-acts should be pulled through with an M240 40mm bronze cleaning brush...once for every infraction ;)

...that do for ya Adam? :)
