If you read my post you will see that it was SPECIFICALLY oriented at the idea that someone would go to hunt dangerous game in Africa with a gun thatSome folks do it because they Don't know better ...
"they truly believe is inferior"
"knowing it to be inferior"
"they believe to be inferior"
"they actually believe is not up to the task"
Your response and the quote that you responded to weren't about "everyone", they were about one specific person.Everyone is not the same, which your premise is based on... Period...
The initial comment was that Potterfield, "a highly skilled professional gunsmith" carried a push feed to Africa. The implication being that he knows about the two different actions and still chose the "inferior" one. You responded saying that he could afford that luxury because he had a PH to back him up.
I'm saying that doesn't hold water because it's doubly illogical for someone to carry a rifle they truly believe is inferior to Africa to hunt dangerous game.
Of course, people who don't know better might do foolish things, but no one is saying that Potterfield doesn't know anything about guns/rifles. It would be ludicrous to even make an argument along those lines.
Which means Potterfield doesn't really believe that the push feed is inferior or he wouldn't have taken one to Africa to hunt dangerous game unless he's simultaneously logical and illogical and simultaneously cares a lot about hunting and doesn't care about hunting.
But if you know someone with lots of experience, it would certainly make sense to ask him and then post HIS personal opinion. I believe that is a much closer analogy to what the person actually did since he was quoting the opinion of someone who had been to Africa "just about every year".THE POINT OF THE POST IS YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ON THE SUBJECT MATTER. IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED TENNIS, MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T POST AN OPINE ON HOW TO SERVE LIKE Björn Borg!
Everybody who has killed a lion has killed at least one lion without experience. That's the way it goes.This is where EXPERIENCE comes in!
Let's try this a third time. What kind of problems?...had problems with a few push feeds to include my Custom shop KS Remington 350 mag.
