I personally care only about a weapons performance, and don't appreciate fancy stuff at all. That makes me a slob.
That would be me as well.
I've been criticized for suggesting to folks that you can buy two SKS/AK rifles and several cases of ammo for the same money that you'll pay for a single M4 clone and no ammo. They look at me like a heretic or something.
Utility tops everything else in my opinion.
I do possess an expensive rifle or two, but not anything a gun snob would find appealing. Mostly "plastic" long range guns and quality glass that enables me to hit things a ways off.
A Purdy, H&H, or an Echols would be completely wasted on me....
Good thread!
