My experiences with SW are limited, as the nearest ones are about 150 miles away, one east and one west, down I-10. However, I have found that the counter guys at both are more than happy to help me, even if they are not exactly experts on whatever issues I am having. Year before last, as I was packing for my annual elk hunt, I discovered that the lens caps for one of my Leupold scopes were still on my grandson's rifle in Texas. Since I was headed to Las Cruces next day, I dropped by the new SW to see if they had any that would fit. Naturally, the only ones they had were Butler Creek. They did not have a sizing chart and I could not pull one up on my cell phone. The young man helping me, bless his heart, went and got a new Leupold scope like mine out of the box and went through just about every one they had in their display case--and they had a bunch of them. It took a little time, but I went back home that evening with a set and finished my packing. I don't know what his hourly pay rate was, but they darned sure didn't make any money off of me that day.

Uhhh..
so when is sharing an experience, that I thought was pretty funny ( the reason I shared it) translated as me bitching about it? But Guess that is Campfire Logic...
Because about everything you post on the 'fire is you bitching about someone in Oregon. so its okay for you out of state guys to bitch about some of the YoYos one finds in Oregon.. but its NOT Okay for some of us local guys to Complain about, or even share with the campfire due to thinking it was kinda funny... Got it! But then the Minnesota guys will disagree with you about "everything I post on the fire is bitching about someone in Oregon...countering everything I post is complaining about Minnesota and people there. So I need to quit "complaining" about people in Oregon.... maybe substitute, oh say Washington? would that work for ya... then on the other hand.. here's a thought... for those of you who are thinking I spend my time "complaining" about people in Oregon or Minnesota or anywhere else, and you want to complain about that.... Have you ever considered just passing my posts by? That way, you don't have to get your shorts in a knot... or feel the need to come up with some lame wise away comment? But that would then requiring thinking, wouldn't it...something against some of your folks religion. But then, that would be breaking campfire protocol with a batch of you guys wouldn't it... because it is normally the same 5 to 10 guys doing just that... the" Usual Suspects"

Ben, that's the normal style of experiences I have at most of the ones here in Oregon... The guy "Will" just was an anomaly....dumber than Conrad in the Medford store. I've seen Conrad recommend Rem 6 1/2 primers for guys who are loading for an AR 15... and more recently recommend Rem Small Pistol primers, since the guy who was asking which primers to get, had just picked up some sort of AR pistol variant.... luckily one of the other store associates intercepted him and told him to get Small Rifle, even if it was a pistol...Conrad was arguing, short barrels required the small pistol primer and longer barrels needed the small rifle. Minus that, most of them will admit they don't know an answer... but are happy to get someone that does.

It's about like this:

To be fair, Seafire was going to talk to the manager to straighten things out, but....he got interrupted by a alert on his phone informing him that Big Stick/Boxer had just made a post and he had to run and reply...

Is that what HoMo Hands tells you before he bends you over or is that what you tell Calvin and/or Big Fish before you bend them over? its hilarious that ONE person can inspire you four YoYos to mentally return to the 3rd grade... a few of you use to be a LOT better at internet insults.....like getting Called an Oregon Dipshit by an Idaho Dipshitt You dummies need a lot more practice... Lets see if you can throw insults for 30 pages...Show the rest of the campfire your creative intellectual prowess.. Maybe Travis can give you guys classes in throwing insults with some class and creativity.... Steelhead would also be an excellent choice... he knows how to throw GREAT insults. sad to see Slavey return to his HoMo posting roots tho...just sayin... you boys ALL have a blessed wonderful evening also... God Bless..

Just curious, if seafire is a thief, (to which claim his response was he didn't need a moral compass), why would anyone give him the time of day since being a liar goes hand in hand with being a thief? Lowest form of human, no dignity, no honesty.

The glut of nominations suggests "lowest form of human" is becoming an intensely competitive category.
