Of course, he made that comparison because he sometimes assumed the worst, instead of checking the simple stuff first.

Oh yes. And you have to look carefully too. But I went into that wiith my head in that warm dark place. I knew better than to think the barrel went south over night. But sometimes its easy to get off on a wild tangent when you know a rifle shoots better than that and all of a sudden it goes to hell in a hand basket. Sometimes it leaves your head behind. I was so proud of that rifle. I got it cheap and it shot so good, then whammo! Everything goes south.
