Just accept that with some people the only way they know to praise one thing is to run down something else. Chevy fans will try to tell you how good their truck is by running down Fords (and vice versa), Democrats will try to tell you how good their ideas are by running down the ideas of Republicans (and vice versa), and CZ (or Tikka, Savage, Marlin, etc) fans will try to tell you how good their rifles are by running down Ruger (or Remington, Winchester, Browning, etc.)
No product is perfect, and I think we would all learn a lot more if people would confine themselves to explaining what they like about their choice without resorting to distortions and misprepresentations about the competition.
Yes, I think there is bit of that involved.
OK, as to the point of the 77/22 barrel clamping method - no one has yet come farward to explain the disadvantages it has over threading,(on a .22 rimfire) so I'll take that point as being settled...there ar none. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
BTW. thanks to everyone for the response so far, it's been very interesting.
