Well, I'm just glad we didn't have Tikkas back in my day.
I never would have learned how to do my own trigger jobs and "tweak" actions for best feeding, how to calculate the parimutuel odds on whether free floating, full length bedding or forend tip bedding would produce best accuracy, the joy of endless hours of cleaning and scrubbing barrels to bare metal, or not, the processes for weighting 37 randomly connected handloading variables that change independently over the course of the moon's phases and most importantly of all the accumulation of an entire library of arcane spells to incant at various times in the loading and shooting cycle, plus associated curses used after the shot is let off.
Young'uns got it too easy today...
