Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Let's clear something the eff up!

Yep, nobody cares very much-though I occasionally get slightly annoyed when somebody lists a 12x26x56 scope for sale.

Also get a little annoyed when somebody says or writes "first-year anniversary," or "fifth-year anniversary." The "anni" in annversary means year, which is why until a few years age the common form was "first anniversary", or "fifth anniversary."

But objecting to any of this is like shoveling sand against an incoming tide.

We didnt all spend our youth devouring gun books and magazines like we were prepping for SAT's, so that might be a bit excessive to beat on someone over x's and dashes on scopes.
HOWEVER I was born with testes and didnt grow up playing with my sisters barbie dolls, so I sure as [bleep] dont have a rifle that 'wears' a scope or a rifle that is 'dressed' with x-brand 'furniture'.
My rifle dosent run I do.
And a mag is not a clip.
A caliber is the diameter of the friggin bore, or class of cartridges, and not used to designate a cartridge or chambering of a rifle.

oh, and while i'm at it, camouflage works the best for hunting other humans. Its not necessary for hunting animals as they see differently than we do.

Time to set some [bleep] straight for the new generation!

I use all of the correct wording, or try to.
But, nobody cares about your sandy hoochie being rubbed the wrong way.

yeah but if you can dress or wear stuff on your rifles then before too long they will start assigning genders to them, and there will probably be more the two genders! just saying...

I just got me one of them Vortex Dime On Back 4/12+40 scopes offa the big brown truck today. I heard the Marine Core Rangers use them on their sniper guns. I'm sure it will keep em under a dime all day long.

"If you do your part ".😄

I apologize for irritating the nerves of you ignorant mother ph ukkas

Do people prep for those?

The nerds did while we were out huntin'

Can't imagine what life must be like that a simple X in the place of a - or vice versa prompts a rant and name calling...

I suggest a psyche evaluation.

Vice versa, just saying.

You got me. Guess ya could go make a post about it.....seems to be the thing to do lately.

'are running them'......get it right......grin

Easy now people's going to get all kinds of upset after all they want an adjustable focus they don't give a s*** about a parallax adjustment

An 8 point in the East is a 4 point in the West...What is a Buck with busted off horns, but stubbs..

Is it an 8 Point or 8 Pointer?

What was the real tirty point Buck. a 30 Pointer?

Have to get this all correct and proper.

Even Winchester was confused...Early on it was the .30 gov't '06 then it was 30-06 SPRG....I mean Sprg for Springfield? Sheesh!!!!
Hard to keep all this straight and not say the wrong thing in the right company....

Nah, I'm good. I managed to teach college algebra without needing psychoactive medications.

Yeah when I twist the focus on the eye piece I can go from seeing two parallel sets of cross hairs to just a crisp one, and thats how you adjust to get rid of that parallax on the scope your rifle is wearing.

Come on man...."Eyepiece is "occular eyepiece"....

3 point

Well in Pa a spike is an 11 point....
