Graduated from one of lowest graduation rate school districts in the country

Lowest graduation rate? You mean “most selective” school district…

The way some guys talk about them, I’d say it’s pronounces Jizz-ly.

Sako... socko, not Seiko.

Chiappa... "Key-ah-pa" , but who really cares.

Car-biiine or Car-beeen?

 

[Glassaholic]

Sako... socko, not Seiko.

Chiappa... "Key-ah-pa" , but who really cares.

Good one, this was one of my earliest pronunciation blunders, I used to call it Seiko, but I soon learned it was pronounced Sock-oh...

 

[diggler1833]

Lapua Scenar = "Lah-pwa Sken-ar".

Sometimes if you really want to know, you can just call the company and hear them pronounce it. I've don't that at least twice.

I'm still not articulate enough to get "Veet-vouri" close enough, and I've heard them say it at least a dozen times.

I remember watching a dude with a Midwest-based YouTube rifle channel showing off his latest build and load development:
"La-pooah brass, vit-a-voori powder, la-pooah see-nar bullets, lee-you-pold scope, Tim-iney trigger etc..." it was painful. Didn't help that he looked like Captain Caveman either.

"Ambidex-tree-ous" safety. That gets me on 1911 videos.

Rifle maker Howa... I'm guessing the correct pronunciation is HOE-ah, but I hear people say HOW-ah too.

As far as the common mispronunciation of Leupold goes, I blame Looney Tunes -

 

[Malum Prohibitum]

Sako... socko, not Seiko.

Chiappa... "Key-ah-pa" , but who really cares.

That is EXACTLY the reason I've always said it that way (even though it is spelled slightly different): Bugs' caracature of the famous conductor of the score for Disney's Fantasia, which is funny on a whole different level when you consider Bugs is Warner Bros, Disney's competition at the time. Leopold Stokowski did not use a baton to conduct, so first thing Bugs does is take the baton, snap it in half, and toss it.

While I agree completely with your assessment, unfortunately today all of THAT is considered to be "racist, violent, white-supremacist," etc, by the ones controlling the narrative. Meanwhile they promote drag shows and Antifa protests as wholesome and peaceful. And "fun" isn't even allowed anymore.

And Stoki was a big fan of ....young boys.

One thing I've been noticing lately is people overusing the word "itself" when reviewing firearms, or parts of a firearm. Seems like a redundant word to me. Maybe they think it makes them sound smarter? Count how many times this dude uses it when reviewing the new Aero Solus.

Lapua Scenar bullets
Is it pronounced See-nar or Skee-nar?
I've heard it both ways.

I have no idea what is correct but I have always pronounced it "Sen/nar with a short e and accent on the first syllable.

 

[Grandfather6]

Car-biiine or Car-beeen?

A big harvesting machine is a "com/beye n".
A rifle with a shorter than standard barrel is a "carbean"
Such is the American language.

OK.
Now do Garand.

The designer of the M1 Rifle had the last name '
"GERR and" with the accent on the first syllable.
His semi-eponymous rifle however, is pronounced "GUH RAND" with the accents being equal
Do not fight this one, just go with the common pronunciation for the rifle. If you call it a "GERR and", people will think you are weird or possibly a foreigner.

Dave knows

 

[Yote Klr]

My buddy says;
Carbelas and rectical !!!!
I keep correcting him but it doesn't matter he's Vietnam vet and ex-post office.

Also, a case containing powder, primer, and bullet is pronounced 'cartridge'.
Not caliber.

[TheLucasRanch]

Yes, the guys at Leupold, like the ones who work there and that’s their last name because they are part of the family biz say “LOO-pold”.

Also, the guys in Finland where Lapua is based say “LAH-pwah”.

 

[nikonNUT]

Good one, I've always said See-nar but could be wrong...

Cen-R

 

[Kamerad]

Koch - this is correct…

Steyr is ‘shtya’ with emphasis on the ty.
Dialect accounts for some variation, too.

Copenhagen is tasty tobacco, København is the capital of Denmark. And the pronunciation sounds very different.

Coke or .......?
