As usual, Shaman, good post.
As you know, most of my guns are "hand-me-down " guns. They have been shot a lot, killed a lot of stuff, and to the best of my knowledge, have never been scored like some folks here do. I don't even know what a ladder test IS.
I've never worked up a load, counted bullet grains, or knew the name of the powder in the cartridge. It was what was on sale, and it killed stuff just fine.
I have never bedded an action, or inlet a stock, or felt the need of the Holy Grail of triggers. You learn the gun, shoot it, and sight it in. If you can hit a football at 100yds, it will kill deer.
