This is why you’ll never make assistant manager, Mr. Sobchak. Your EO complaints are stacked taller than Wilt Chamberlain.

You know how I know you're gay? Math jokes.

Dude, you're a rifle snob. The first step is admitting it. And it's okay with us. We like it. We want to learn. But pushing the idea of a custom turnbolt on a gentleman that hasn't shot anything at farther than like 300 meter (Ivans at that)? GTFO, Boscoe. There's a difference between starting with something too cheap to do you justice from a training standpoint and something that's way outta your ability to the point you don't even notice the difference.

I just don't think he's there yet. And I don't think he needs to invest in a piece that can do that yet either. Not if a factory gun has a good chance of doing it acceptably until he accumulates enough trigger time to say, "I need a better rifle." I mean, I'm sure as fuck not going to pay a Dwarven Harley rider (typical gunsmith) to build me a Carlos Hathcock special when it comes time for me to pony up the Benjies for a 600+ meter rifle. I’m looking at getting a factory police-guy-with-black-outfit Savage in .308 (until I read some article that says they're turn-to-dust-in-your-hands turds). Thoughts?

You've got the persuasive argument that only comes from experience, Walt. But where did you start from? That's where we're at here.
