Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

i worked with a guy at my last command who bought a .308 for home defense. he could never tell me what model it was, but it was black. i asked him what the longest range he has shot it was, he replied 25yards. when i said "but its a rifle" he replied with "i dont want to drive all the way to the bigger ranges, besides, i have very small targets that simulate shooting at greater distances"

but.....but......but that's not how it works!!

yea he retired as a first class....

well it did hold that record, just at half the distance.
 
Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

oh and now i work with a guy who's dad owns a real dragunov. "sure its not a PSL?" "no its real, family brought it over when they moved from russia."

so his family is broke ass poor and they are just sitting on a dragunov.

pretty sure authentic dragunovs in the US could be counted on 2 hands.
 
Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

There was a guy that showed up at the American Legion bar that had all kind of wild shooting stories. He asks me once if I could tell him how much this lever action Winchester is worth. I say depends on the caliber, how old, etc. What caliber is it? "I don't know." Bells went off in my head, because an old Winchester was stolen in town, and a reward was offered, because it was grandpa's rifle, loaned as a stage prop. Called the number, got the description of the rifle, missing saddle ring, 38-55 cal. Went to look at the gun at blowhards house. Bingo. Gave him a chance, told him someone was offering a reward for a missing 38-55. Nahh, I bought this a long time ago. OK, asshole, dropped a dime on him. Woman calls me with a thank you and reward after they busted the guy, I told her I just wanted a couple 38-55 shells for my collection. Everybody happy, except for the asshole, but they just gave him probation. Guy never showed up at the Legion again.
 
Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

I was at an event for work, and started talking with a guy. He had heard from a mutual friend that I liked rifles, so he started talking to me, and asked what I shot. I told him that I shot a custom Remington 700, and it was chambered in .300 WSM. He went on a rant how he didn't understand why people even liked the Remington 700, and that his Weatherby was better. He said he customized Mauser 98's himself, and I won't even bother trying to describe the bastardized ways he was talking about attempting to modifying them. Obviously he hadn't done it and shot one because some of the modifications definitely could have killed someone.

So he finally gets around to going back to the .300 WSM, and asks why I didn't choose the .308. I was telling him about liking to stretch things out a bit further, and being able to push the heavier pills, or the 185-190 grain pills faster was what I wanted. So he starts asking me, "Do you shoot those 158 grain match grade bullets?" I was kind of confused at first and said, "Do you mean 168 grain SMK's, or something from Nosler?" He said, "No, those 158 grain bullets. That's what I shoot, and they always group real tight." So I told him that I didn't even know anybody made 158 grain bullets, I've just heard of some good manufacturers making 155 grain bullets, and 168 grain bullets around those weights; and that I'd like to know who made them so I could try them out. I then told him that I liked to shoot the 190 grain Berger VLD's and 185 grain Hybrids. So he asked me if they were FMJ's. I told him they were match grade hollow points. He said something to the effect of, "Well it's too bad that they're hollow points. If they weren't, they'd be so much more aerodynamic and have a better BC." I told him that they had a better BC than most FMJ bullets, and if I was that concerned about it, I'd just get a tool to point the meplats. This seemed to loose him a bit, and I didn't want the fun to end, so I said, "But I can't shoot well enough to notice the slight difference in meplat on those bullets anyway."

So the discussion went towards pushing heavier bullets further, and staying into the supersonic range. He was getting lost, so he decided he'd change the subject and get more on his level. I guess he thought there was an opening from my comment on not being able to shoot well enough to notice the difference in meplat. So then he says, "When I as in the Army (here it comes, lol), I could shoot groups that you could cover with your hand at a mile." I acted truly surprised and said, "Really? That's amazing man. What ammunition and rifle were you using?" He didn't miss a beat, slapped me on the shoulder and said, "I was shooting the M21 sniper rifle that had a 36" barrel on it, and those 158 grain bullets I told you about." I replied with, "That must be a world record for a light weight rifle, and especially in that caliber." He said, "Yeah, it probably was, but I was on a mission that was real hush hush, so we couldn't report it or anything."

Finally, it was getting to be too much. I was about to out the guy in front of all kinds of industry people, and customers. I figured it wasn't the best idea to look like a real asshole in front of all these clients or potential clients. So I found a way to get out there. I finished by saying that sometime we should get together so he can show me how to shoot. LOL, I'm sure it'll never happen.

The hits keep rollin'... A guy at work the other day claimed he only hunts deer with an 8mm "army gun" he found in a barn with a cracked stock and last year shot a doe at 900 yards. When he saw a pic of my heavily modified Rem 700, he told me that Shillen barrels are crap because of the aluminum barrel lining. WTF?

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

Had a former Air Force guy tell me last week that he has dope on his .308 out to 2600 yards. Maybe he does...?

Was at a very small diner/restaurant in a small WY town a couple years back. Came off the road for a few minutes to grab lunch. Had just ordered and paid for a meal. Sitting alone at a table. Guy dressed in goofy ball cap,coke-bottle glasses, khaki shorts, rainbow suspenders, knee-high white socks and tennis shoes comes in the door with his wife, sees the uniform and starts my way. His wife tries to get him to sit down, but he waves her off, says he has to tell me something.

He invites himself to sit down at my table and proceeds to tell me that he was west of town about 13 miles a while back and turned off of one state highway onto another one. He said he saw a strange sight.

There was a giant shadow going back and forth across the road, just kind of lazily circling around. He was startled and couldn't figure out what was going on. He pulled over, got out of his car and looked up toward the overhead sun in the noon sky. He didn't see any airplane and was baffled. Then it struck him:

"It was a Giant African Condor, migrating from Canada to South America. They fly so high you can seldom see them."

I neglected to ask him what continent we were on and what continent Giant African Condors were from. I noticed the time, excused myself as late for a meeting and left without my lunch.

Wow...

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

Not a gun story but still fits...

We used host a training course here about once or twice per quarter, and we'd have 10-12 attendees to the course each time. Inevitably, there is at least one blow-hard who has seen it all and who's stories top what everyone else has.

Anyhoo.... one of the bull stories I remember had to do with the weather we have out here in the SW. In the spring, it gets windy which then means it gets dusty. So one of the guys in the class starts telling me about a buddy he had that had towed a classic Corvette through AZ and NM in the spring on the way to a car show. So he says that they ended up driving through one of the famous AZ dust storms and it sandblasted the paint away on one side of the Corvette - to reveal the bare aluminum.

Huh - I always thought those were made of fiberglass...

Even then, there wouldn't be enough penetration to stop a wild hog. Good way to piss off a wild hog if you ask me.

We had been drinking his beer and were staying at his house, or otherwise I would have called him out, but figured it be best to let it lie. Oh, and the MV of the bullet was 4500+ ft/sec

It is possible and I have done it, I have a 40 S&W Barrel for my Colt Delta Elite 10 mm, but have shot 40 S&W out of the factory 10 mm barrel.

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

I used to work with a fellow Marine that said his Ruger mk77 shot sub 1/2" (~1/6 MOA) at 300yd for 10 shot strings, factory out of the box.

I was once told by a weapons instructor that the M16's barrel is mounted in the upper receiver at an upwards angle to meet up with the sights, which are level.

I went through a free NRA SIG armorer's course and during a break the guy instructing the course was talking about some gunsmithing work he was doing. "I was drilling and tapping a Remington 870 sniper rifle for a customer, and accidentally went 1/32" too deep and bored into the chamber...". There were several other such stories throughout that course. I will never buy a Sig product, for fear it will in some manner support that guy.
 
Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

Ledzep, don't know about the other stuff, but I have a Ruger M-77V in .308 that will shoot =< 1/2" MOA all day long (as long as the bore is dirty). It's an old one with the tang safety. I know, I wouldn't have believed it either,but I can get you witnesses if you'd like.
 
Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

I got one... but it's on me, and I ain't too proud of it.

Sitting at dinner at local restaurant, guy comes in with his gal sits at bar. Owner is behind bar, a buddy of mine, I usually have a drink with him before hitting the road home, ( gotta have sommething to wash the Xanax down with LOL). Owner and I sometimes talk shooting etc, and in the course of that, the guy joins in the conversation.

Turns out, he says casually" I was awarded the MOH in Nam....", (and I am not going to say which branch, so as not reveal too much about where we were). I am thinking "hmmm another BS artist", was polite, but... you know, skeptical of this claim.

Mentioned this incident to a buddy of mine, who would know this guy, and he says, " yeah, he's the real deal, google him, or take my word". His word is good here.

Next time I see that guy, I owe him an apology.... and a drink.

I hate that the posers, have stolen, what rightly belongs to others, that cannot be restored, that money cannot purchase.

I have no problem with 1/2 MOA. It happens occasionally with factory guns, but 1/2" @ 300yd not so much. I asked him to make sure that's what he meant, and he was quick to 'confirm' it.
 
Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

started a conversation with a guy at a gunstore years ago, this guy could shoot 10 rds of surplus 303 british out of a suplus enfield in half the size of a pack of cigarettes at 600 yds with open sights, told him that the national benchrest record at the time was a bit bigger than than and maybe he should start competition because he would be a champ in no time, he turned around and left quietly.
 
Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

I was informed that the left handed Rem700 on a gun shop counter was the preference of any good right hand shooter as the shooter would not have to move his "trigger finger" to cycle the bolt. All subsequent bag hand/stock manipulation discussion after ward was pointless.

I get that you should be loading the bipod to minimize movement, but really????
 
Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

Had a friend of mine tell me that his 22-250 was the same exact gun that is used in iraq. I asked, you mean how its a 700 action? nope, same caliber and everything... then explained how he can shoot the screw tops off of 20 oz bottles @ 500 yards all day long.
 
Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

The more of these I read, the more encounters I remember from personal experience...

The Marine in charge of training at my old unit enlisted directly out of highschool. His father and brother were in the local police force where he was from. He claimed, however, that he had also been a Sheriff in said police force, and a member of the county SWAT. Obviously the time line didn't add up. The guy had HUNDREDS of stories of his heroic actions in the line of duty. From shooting out tires, laying spike strips to stop bank robbers, entry into barricade situations, all of his little tips and tricks for CQB. I specifically remember how he was telling us he was working with the police force where we were stationed, being a gunner in their helicopter. He "had" a laser set-up with gred, green, and IR. "See, the Green is so I can point out targets to the guys on the ground, but then if I need to take a shot, I switch to the red laser so those guys know they need to stay back to avoid blue on blue"...

One day "Hey, I just got a silencer for my M4", I asked "Sweet, what manufacture? How long have you been waiting for ATF approval?", he replies "oh I forget exactly, it's the kind that ratchet's on, QD style", ignored the ATF question and walked off.

Apparently before I got to the unit a bunch of the guys had locked themselves in a room with him, intervention style and explained how everyone knew he was full of shit, and asked why he made all the stuff up, and he refused to answer...

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

Had a guy from TX tell me once about people that came and prairie dog hunted on his family ground. Said they were shooting a wild cat load called a .17 HMR Hornet....I questioned him on this round, he stuck to it. Then, he proceeded to tell me it was spitting rounds out at 9k fps. Uh huh. Must burn that barrel out pretty quick huh?

Granted this same guy also found himself in trouble when his duty weapon (yeah, he was a cop), a glock, fired a round above his wife's head while she was sleeping. Claimed the gun was on the night stand and "just went off". I bet it did.

Have a cousin from TX (pattern?...na. Got my wife from TX. Can't be all bad.) who also happens to be a cop...detective I think. Either way, he argued with me for some time about how suppressors and full autos are illegal in TX. I said I'd show him plenty of documents on the web that would contradict this claim, but he stated "I don't care what you read on the internet, they aren't legal in TX." Best to stop there....as much as I hated to.

Got a brother in law from TX that can throw out some mud too, but every time I call him on it we check out google. Every now and then he's right.

Actually suppressors and full auto are illegal here in Texas. I don't remember the penal code section- it's been a long time since I was a cop.
However- it is an affirmative defense to prosecution if you have the appropriate BATFE NFA paperwork and tax stamps. What is really stupid is that while it is a defense, you can still be arrested and prosecuted. You have to use the paperwork as your defense to avoid being found guilty. I think your lawyer would have to make a motion to dismiss based on the paperwork but you would have to pay him to do so. Almost every agency won't arrest if you have the paperwork, but they can.

I was at a festival this weekend and some dude walks up to me and and sees me wearing a shirt from a old match that I shot.

Tells me that he was SF and was in charge of black ops training and continued on and on. He couldn't keep his stories straight and had awkward pauses through the whole line of classified bs. Told me that they liked him and gave him clearances without paper work.

Got tired of listening so I told him that I also did a lot of training and personally trained seals for a living, at least until they tried to hump me after the circus was over. He stared at me for a minute and left confused:)

Soooo....Pepperbelly, let me get this straight. You'll have to excuse me since I'm from the land of blue where nothing is legal.

In Texas its illegal to own class 3 devices, but its not illegal to buy them. And after someone took you to court for owning them, you show your paperwork, and they let you go....at that point are you legal, or can they take you back to court again?

Not doubting your knowledge, I believe you. But, it sounds crazy enough to belong on this thread.

Yeah the just made it legal to hunt with them.....there may be some old law on the books like in many places that say they are illegal but a single law or statute means nothing if not in context. Laters laws negate old laws all the time. Just look in the TX CHL book, it says carrying a church is illegal then you read a paragraph down and as long as it isn't posted 30.06 then it is legal.

I know a man who says his brother is in the CIA and has, get this, a laser Gatling gun on his boat, and goes out in the Atlantic "slicing up" pirate ships.

Re: best bull shizzle someone told you and was serious

I've got a couple.

A great buddy of mine and an Iraq veteran gave me a good laugh at the range last summer. Granted he was not very experienced with bolt actions. But, I shot 4-3 shot groups and 1-5 shot group at 300 yards. This was with my dedicated 600 yard F-open rig. But we measured all the groups, the 3 shot groups were all in the .3s MOA and the 5 shot group was in the low .4 MOA range. He looks at the groups and kind of laughs and tells me that I need shrink them down to be covered by a dime. I explained that these were fairly good groups especially for me. Well, 1 inch at 300 I feel is a pretty strong group. However, he wasn't having it and still gives me shit for crappy shooting.

Next,

Went to a local gunsmith/shop wit my buddy who was looking for a scope for his TC Encore in 300 mag. The owner/smith first looks at it has immediately demands to let him check the head space because the TC Encores were known to blow up in the shooters face. My buddy obliges, head space is good. Were looking at optics and the owner is dead set on him getting a BSA for it and goes on and on about how great they are. Finally, my friends agrees knowing his heavily recoiling mag will nuke the BSA. Sure enough, takes it to the range, 3 shots, toasted. I'm not sure if he sent it back to BSA or returned it to the shop, but funny none the less.
