Tactical... WTF?

[Combat_Wombat]

It means purpose built.

Mmmm, my chair was built for the purpose of me sitting on it but I wouldn't call it a tactical chair

Bought a solid looking pen on eBay a few weeks ago. It rocked up with tactical written all over the box and supposedly the point on the end can smash a window... Now I just need some tactical paper.

"it was a laminated stock with some sort of black paint type coating on it - then it was called tactical,"
I guess that means the black plasic stock on my marlin has just increased the value of the rifle 2 fold.

If a pic rail makes it tactical, then even a timber Sako can be tactical? I don't have anything black though, except scopes, do they count too?

That is a massive objective lens

BUT WAIT! There is now PRO TACTICAL! Whatever that is.

Marketing just trying to "Keep up with the Kardashians" whoever they are!

And just when you thought it was safe to go back into the woods..

My wife bought me that one. 6-24 x 72 Zeiss. Its adequate!
Didn't realise how good the 72 would actually be though. It has a really good field of view.

Why, isn't it black?

No picatinny rail is why, because sitting with one between your cheeks is real uncomfortable

[Rick]

my brothers got one of those, its a POS.

More expensive than a Boito too, and they come out of the same plant!

I saw a bloke at a range recently with all the gear; Zombie Tshirt, black rifle with forend pistol grip (turns out it was a .22) little torches and other crap hanging off it. I wondering if he got rejected by the Army?

[sandgroperbill]

But how did it shoot?

[Lyam]

Torch for shooting at the range during the day huh
