Thank you to those of you with a sense of humor and an intelligent post. You are the ones that should be giving advice on TFL. Sorry I didn't take the time to write down the names of some of the quotes I'm gonna poach...my apologies for breaking the rules ahead of time. Just some I thought required an answer.
Now then, let's get to it...
hmmm... without a "sarcastic" smiley, don't they call this "trolling"?
Not trolling...just a plea for some sage advice to new shooters.
I respect the fact that people like certain types of firearms. But why suggest to new shooters that they should buy it and be proud to own it. Is this why some new posters never post a second time because "experts" suggest they own a Mosin Nagant? Then they go look at one and think "What the hell?".
You've really never heard of the Mosin before TFL? What is happening to this world...
I've heard of them. I watch the History Channel. What I should have said was that I don't know anyone that owns one or would admit to owning one.
I also think the bias against the MN is simple snobbery.
Nope. Wrong again. I've never had enough money to be snobbish against anything. When I was a kid we had to eat whatever was left in the cabinets at the end of the month cause we were borderline destitue. Even though my father was a well respected LEO and my mom worked for the county clerks office. But we had decent shooting arms to harvest game with. We had to to keep put meat on the table.

if u dont like them it doesn't bother me, everyone's got to be a hater on something.
Don't hate 'em. But I don't celebrate them.
Funny how the highest number of sniper kills made by one man in WW2 was with one.
That's like saying there's a guy in Texas that kills a lot of wild hogs. Not impressed.
Do you rant at Beetle owners on a car forum Buff?
VW? "The People's Car"? No way. Every high school girl should own one.
not a fan either and would rather spend a little more for a more modern rifle although theres nothing wrong with having one to take to the range or collecting them, they really shouldnt be recomended for anything else in my opinion.
Now that pretty much sums it up.
Eh, don't worry about it, the Mosin is a better rifle than BUFF is a thinker.
And finally to this clown...So you want to question my intelligence (did I spell that right?
)? That's ok. It's easy for people to call you stupid when you don't agree with their opinion. What's hard for people is to come up with an intelligent response and a valid argument against your opinion. Those that can do it are the people that should be giving advice to new shooters. If I was a lower primate as you suggest...I'd tell you we're going outside so I could knock the dust off ya. But I have opposible (did i spell that right?) thumbs.
Did I get the "sarcastic" smiley in there?
