Thing about old worthy literature is that people keep reading it, over and over and over again.

Don't have the time or inclination to read the whole thread but remember this,
"You will find what you are looking for"
People looking to be slighted or for a reason to complain....... well,
Stick to your guns! (See what I did there?!)

OK, you wankers triggered my imagination. Brace yourselves please.
Pistol Packer = Poony Shotgun Shooter = Shoony Rifle Nut = Roony
And just for the heck of it, if you're a muzzle loading nut = Moony

Mule Deer You are correct. Adding one more on the 18th. Will be celebrating with Mickey it being his BD as well. Rick
PS I still prefer Gun Nut even though not so “correct”.

I always feel like a kid around JB, him being 32 days older than me.

John, I still remember when I overheard an older shooter refer to me as a real gun nut. I was about 14 and knew I had arrived. He was likely in his 40’s but I thought he was ancient.
I will seriously consider rifle crank as I am becoming less tolerant of guys who have opinions based on either reading numbers from a ballistic printout or on the two BG animals they got in the last 10 years. Thanks my friend, R

Very descriptive to me, besides what would I do with my hat? Take a magic marker to it. All this BS goes to far in my opinion, I like the Rifle Looney term

“Rifle loony” is venerable and has panache.
Another vote here for status quo.

And just for the heck of it, if you're a muzzle loading nut = Moony Poony, Shoony, Roony, Moony. Suddenly, I don't feel as limited by Rifle Loony!😁😁

Rifle Loony - a person, usually a man, who could have been an alcoholic or religious zealot (many like a drink or display an appropriate amount of religious zeal) but who, at the crucial moment in his psychological development, instead of taking the pamphlet from the bald person at the airport or the wino's bottle, found himself leafing through an old book ("Handloading" by Phil Sharpe or one John Barsness' "Gun Gack" series) or perhaps contemplating the magical and consequential extension of his will beyond his hand in the dying of a buck on a cold November morning. Whatever the triggering experience this man has found a mold of sufficient complexity and meaning to hold his soul. He can lose himself in the endless, esoteric physics or feel himself braced in the rush and violence of life as lived in the moment by prey and predator. If you ask him what a "Rifle Loony" is, you are apt to get a wholly unsatisfactory answer. No one feels this lack of proper clarity more than the Rifle Loony himself. But, how can a man describe what is essentially a way of being. Gun Nuts, Rifle Aficionados, etc. are the various earlier stages in the development of the 100%, certifiable Rifle Loony. Interventions, water-cures, homeopathy can show some effect in these early stages if the condition is deemed undesirable in a specific case. However, once a man or in some cases a woman has reached the stage of Rifle Loonyism he is beyond hope or reproach.
