Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Top 5 most Overrated Rifle Cartridges

Smithrjd: The M1A doesn't use an en bloc clip, that's the M1 Garand. The M1A, aka M14 in military dress (full auto select) uses a 20 Rd Magazine. Actually, the 280 Under rated if anything. If it has a belt on it, then most likely over rated.

No, but I for one like my hunting and shooting entertainment and want to protect it. I know you don't agree with me, so go right ahead and promote your porn values and scare people away from our sport. You can throw all kids of arrows at me, but please help to protect and,promote our sport?

Must be getting crowded in the closet.

I miss the days when the magazine guy would knock on our door and try to sell us subscriptions. You know...for THOSE magazines. We'd keep them in the tool box in the garage because our wives or mothers never looked in there.

Everyone had a different way of getting their Playboy out to the duck blind or fishing camp. Some guys would roll them up and slide them in their boots. Some guys had a "tool box" full, complete with Texaco and Holley stickers, and put them in the truck or the trunk the morning they left.

My buddy's dad used to roll up racy calendars and keep them in shotgun barrels. Piles of well worn magazines were left out all year in the outhouse at our hunt camp. I know we weren't alone in that practice.

Then there was the moonshine, but that's best left for another thread.

Recruiting new people was never a chore.

Thanks for the historical view. Unfortunately with the WWW this stuff is no longer secret, but is viewable by everyone. Once on the web, always on the web.

You cannot run a laptop where we hunt and fish. Someone has to bring a generator. And there's no Internetto. It might be on the web, but you gotta get be able to get the web.

Agree with author on the .223 Remington, not the 300 Weatherby.

Most posters here agree that poaching hurts our sport and will vigorously speak against it. Yet that same person will vigorously post porn on the Internet where the antis can see that postings. Porn reflects negatively on our hunting and shooting sports just like poaching. The advertisers on this site do not condone porn posting, none of them. Cabelas, MidwayUSA, Hornady, progressive Insurance do not, I'm pretty sure that the sponsor over on the optics forum wouldn't be happy with posting porn on one of his threads. How about the NRA?

Besides embarrassing to the female members here it is degrading to them as well.

All of us need to guard the image we project to the outside.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^ The article is simply a modern iteration of the old stir-the-pot articles that used to appear in Guns and Ammo and others of that ilk: "9mm vs. .38 Special" "Make Mine a 12 Gauge" "The 3" 20 Gauge Makes the 12 Gauge Obsolete" "16 Gauge - Heavy Enough for Waterfowl/Light Enough for Upland" "16 Gauge - Too Light for Ducks/Too Heavy for Upland" ".270 vs .30-06" "9mm vs .45" and on and on and on.

Good questions to ask would be : Over rated by whom? Relative to what?

Porn that don't make you hard.

Intermission

Sir, banjos are a prelude to anal rape, please do not degrade our sport, what will the anti's think when they see that?

^^^ I think they would stand in line to wait their turn for service.

Calm down, Cotton Mather.

Try less starch on the boxers.

You would be right IF what has been shown was pornography
BUT what has been shown is not Pornography.
More than what has been shown is seen daily on soaps ,commercials and at public pools and beaches.
And by car washers raising money for churches.

Your oppinion is important and valued ,however your oppinion and others(most here)dont seem to match.
And their oppinion matters as well.

As far as embarrassing or Degrading to the female members here I rather doubt that as for the most part women dont mind being idolized and gazed upon.
As a matter of fact I have heard that many go out of their way to be so !

I highly doubt that advertisers here will "pull" their ads because of it.

My bad there... Especially having owned both. Meant the M1 Garand.

Ya, with over 11,500 views, I doubt the sponsors/advertisers are sweating it much.

In general, I haven't found the people in the firearms industry offended by women in somewhat skimpy clothing. If they were, they wouldn't hold the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas every year--complete with a somewhat skimpily clothed women in some of the booths.

The past few years have set records of over 60,000 attendees, and SHOT isn't open to the public.

Yep.
