Notably Nikon scopes with the giant ugly a$$ stickers on top. Why in the world do people leave them on the dang thing? It's ugly. And to me it says "I bore sighted this rifle yesterday and now I can hit a running buck at 1,000 yards." I've seen guys in the field with the factory stickers still on the scope.

Why do people do this? What gives? Same could be asked for companies that put stickers on the stock. I mean, I've never seen someone at the range or in the field with a Winchester rifle still have the sticker on the barrel... but the stock and scope - oh yeah.

They want to show everyone they got the baddest bdc retical on there big ass wizbang .308 that they got from wallyworld for there birthday. They will even lick there finger and whipe the mud off of there nice white sneakers at the range. I bought my 600.00$ rifle and 500.00$ scope and painted it all camo about an hour after I bought it. Took it out and sighted it in then threw it in the back of the truck and went to have a beer

Yeah, I'd not worry so much over another person's rifle. But if it does get your goat, by all means, don't go over to the zazzle web site and look at all those scope stickers they have for sale, you'd have a melt down.

BTW, Thought you had one of those Bad Boy Pee stickers on your truck? Isn't that kinda like the pot calling the kettle black??

I hope to have my life to a point where things like this would be what bothers me. If so - things is gravy.

Personally, I like those Hanoi Jane Urinal target stickers the VFW lodge leaves on the toilet. Kinda motivates me to drink more beer.

Jeez folks, don't get worked into a tizzy. Unwad your leopard print thongs and GFY. laugh

Just a question, something I've been wondering about for years. Do I care? Just enough to ask the question on here while relaxing after a long day at work, having seen the aforementioned sticker in a for sale ad on another forum. Cheers, gents! *raises glass*

BTW- I'm not this guy: http://www.werealotlikeyou.com/#profiles/28bumperstickeridealist

Yeah, it's about time for a new avatar.

No truck, no Calvin sticker. Sorry to disappoint.

Well it takes all sorts.

Way back, camera manufacturers used put gaudy little gold 'PASSED' stickers on their cameras and lenses. Some people used to leave them stuck on there like they thought their camera was better than one that didn't have the little gold sticker. "Look at me, my camera has a gold 'PASSED' sticker, your camera hasn't". I found it annoying at the time but have mellowed in my old age and such trivia doesn't bother me anymore. After all, they own it, they can do what they want with it; inside of the law.

Price tags and diamond pinky rings are the rage with the Swaro, blued and walnut crowd.

I don't pay enough attention to anybody else's equipment to even notice.
