....and to top it off can't spell the word off.
Ouch ! My "just coz" is: "it's just as good as _______, and more efficient" BobinNH said. "more efficient means less performance" ! I can't think of a single exception to that ! ! Jerry I recant my earlier statement. That bugs the heck out of me.

1) The 270 Winchester.
2) Anything on or in a firearm that requires batteries.
3) Camo wallets, Camo flashlights,Camo toilet paper and especially Camo'd firearms. I also think putting small children in camo and letting them play outside, say before the age of 3, is asking for trouble. Spray painting your turkey gun is exempt.
4) People who don't wear the legal amount of hunter orange in a state that requires it. That's just begging for trouble.
5) Turkey rounds that exceed $2/round. My ire raises in direct proportion to the cost.
6) Anti-UV products for hunters. Don't get me started.
7) $30 rain suits sold as $300 scent-blocking suits. In fact anything that claims to manage scent.
8) People who ask me what the best whitetail round is out past 300 yards.
9) People who buy too much gun just so they can shoot Managed Recoil ammunition.
10) Old School turkey hunters that claim the only legitimate way to hunt turkeys is. . .

Did I honk you off?
Or did I remind you of something else to be honked off about?

When the weatherman fuggs up and I'm 2 miles deep in the woods with an old original '86 or'71 lever action or Sharps rifle in the rain when there's a Ruger all weather 358 back at camp or in the truck!  BTDT and its why I now carry a light rain sock for the rifle... just in case....

10) Old School turkey hunters that claim the only legitimate way to hunt turkeys is. . . 1 agree totally. Plus anything ruger. 2 ok to have batteries.. makes varmints at night easier. 3 I don't use camo on purpose for anything anymore other than waterfowl. Even turkeys don't require it. 4I'm good with orange, though its not required here. 5 We can only shoot 4 turkeys here.. don't much care about the cost for 4 rounds. Especially if they pattern well enough to be lethal at 50-60 yards. 6I don't worry about UV 7watch the wind. 8past 300 yards, actually past 200, if you have to ask, you shouldn't be doing it... my 308 is fine WAY past 300.... 9 much gun is good, its versatile. But if you do it just to shoot reduced loads I agree 10 Interesting, don't want batteries on a gun, but ok to kill turkeys however. 11 I used to despise anyone lazy enough to hunt with a firearm... but I got over that. LOL.

OK. I'll let you have batteries on or in your firearm after dark. The reason I don't like batteries is they always seem to go dead when you really need them.
My reason for disliking camo is I don't like it used inappropriately. You drop your camo wallet in the woods-- now what?
My reason for disliking some Old Schoolers is the intolerance. There are enough turkeys out there that everyone can go have fun however they want. The idea that you have to have your back to a tree and only use a box call is abhorent to me. Mind you, I kick it up old school once in a while, but I don't mind if somebody else wants to hide in a pop-up blind and use decoys.

White spacers on anything.
I don't even like white spacers on a pool stick.

Cammo in public. You aren'thunting. If you're military, we used to have a rule against wearing utilities off base. But I'm old school. I hate those tan suede combat boots too. They always look dirty.
I hate grumpy old guys 'cause they act like me.

There are also ways to REALLY protect both metal and wood, without changing the appearance of either. For steel, Dyna-Tek Gun Shield is the real deal, whether all the bluing's still there or not.

Thanks MD, my main concern is warping the forearms on my Sharps rifles, I've heard horror stories of folks trying to get those lined back out. Of course the old buffalo hunters and mountain men used lard and pine pitch to seal and bed the barrel channels, I'll just try to keep mine dry if I can. I've got the Dyna-Tek Gun Shield saved in my favorites section.

A strip of electrical tape along each side of the barrel/forend gap keeps H20 out of the barrel channel. Looks kinda funny, but it works! Have used it on a Quebec caribou hunt on a pre-'64 Model 70.
