Tassie's question was reasonable...as was my passively pointing out why Tassie asked for clarification...all you've done is dismissed & refused to acknowledge all reasonable & passive explanations...& labelled them as intended belittling of a new shooter...
Thats unnecessary...& Again...i dont like that...!
I added the word winning because without it your own comment was pointless, you can enter competitions without managing to put any bullets on the paper. You are the one equating "shot at comp level" with some level of outstanding accuracy. Without that assumption on your part your comment makes no sense. I have been impressed with a milsurp managing to hold 3MoA, and that would also be competition-level accuracy - it depends on the competition you're shooting.
As I said, Tassie's view of being confused by what the poster stated was his own interpretation, not what the poster said. He even explained exactly what sort of shooting he'd done that had left him impressed with the rifle's accuracy so there's no confusion there. The fact is that neither Tassie's comment, or yours in support of Tassie's added anything whatever to the thread...
Where did I dismiss any explanations? And where have I refused to acknowledge any explanations, reasonable or otherwise?
You're allowed to not like things, nothing wrong with that
Right there Blade...youve dismissed/ignored/not acknowledged, my explanation of the inference his comment of "shot at comp level", most 22lr comp/& or experienced shooters would assume he meant...
I appreciate your explanation of your milsurps...however, and again, whilst i cant speak for the common 22lr comp shooter, it is my opinion that most 22lr comp/& or experienced shooters, would gather that if someone states their 22lr rifle "shoots at comp level", that the rifle has already been shot off of a bench, and that with such a statement, one already knows how well it shoots with the said & tried ammo.
Youve also dismissed me saying this, so again, give the rifle to 22LR comp shooter with that tried ammo, tell them it shoots at comp level & that its never been shot off a bench...
I get the impression youre ignoring what ive said with accusations of not having contributed, & of belittling the guy, & comparing this with your expectations of how unknown & sight unseen old larger calibre old mil surp centrefire's perform in your paddock at home...this has nothing to with it--this is about how the initial comments were percieved by others, not about what he, or you!, either meant it to mean, or suggest it 'may' have meant.
And i was contributing in a way where i was explaining to him how more than one person perceived his comments...& maybe subtly suggest to him, that not having tried a rifle off of a bench & claim it shoots at comp level, is not a point at which anyone would really measure a rifles accuracy---this has nothing to do with belittling him or not contributing.
You use his latter explanation of how he has tested the rifle as reasoning for your arguement, that we are being pedantic---when infact the question was posed before this explanation was given, & subsequent explanations of mine werent in opposition to his later clarification --so to use this as a point against a Tassie or myself is beyond the scope of the initial point...
In other words, not Tassie or myself were arguing or being pedantic or belittling about any post explanations...
If any belittling is taking place, its the somewhat conceited reply to Tassie, & suggestions we are belittling him...And if we are to bring up relevance to topic, neither of these are either relevant, necessary, or carry any substance.
Ive just edited a couple of things i said above in case they are taken the wrong way--you how i can be a little in your face--i dont mean to be...
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...
