Well gee.....
I do believe that Mr. Coleman was talking with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
I certainly thought that
I understood the context with which he meant.
It would appear (to me at least) that his simple attempt at levity was certainly lost on some of the responedees herewith. I certainly got a chuckle out of it. Too bad that others failed to see the humor in it.
I do hope the esteemed Mr. Coleman is not as thin-skinned as it appears that others so obviously are.
As far as Douglas bbls go, it seems to me that not everyone wishes to build or can afford a $3K custom rifle. For those good folks, I would think that Douglas bbls are certainly adequate. I believe that I might have 2 or 3 my own self. They sit in the safe amoungst the Kreigers, Pac-Nors, Liljas, Shilens, et.al and I haven't heard any complaints! They are not my barrel of choice, unless I'm building a toy on the cheap. But for a hunting rifle, I can't see that it matters who pushes or pulls the spud down the hole. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> JMHO.
