Definition of a fudd (disgraceful!)

I made the mistake of telling him about this forum as he was getting interested in club shooting when he retired to the coast some where, he was disappointed with what he read on here, to the point of saying to me yesterday not to bring anyone new up. Like most station people they are mostly very hospitable and are pleased to see people,

How very sad indeed!
Again, the overly vocal minority (like those few but highly visible irresponsible idiots with guns) create a bad image for shooters; this time among other shooters!

Tell your friend we aren't all that bad and that he will have a blast if he find himself a suitable discipline to shoot.

Hmm...wouldn't mind the field model..

There was an old loophole that now closed where you could register the 870 fitted with a rifled barrel as Cat B.

I wouldn't mind finding a wormhole to get me back to that loophole.

I've got a mate with a Remington 870 so at least I can have the occasional play.
Such a well made shotgun.

Either a troll, or some idiot "hobby farmer" who has a bolt action .22 and slanders anyone who thinks they need anything more powerful.

Indeed. I think this is a classic definition of an apathetic attitude?

I liken this to someone who drives a Toyota corola saying "I am a car driver, and I do not see the need for any 4WD. I don't need one, neither should anyone else. They are big, take up more room on the roads, and bull bars could hurt pedestrians"

The other bit that interests me is the phrase: "I don't see the need for this shotgun, or any semi-automatic weapon.". Is this indicating that the writer doesn't even know that the Adler shotgun is a lever action, and not a semi-automatic? If so, it wouldn't surprise me if the author isn't a gun owner, but someone affiliated with the grabbers - doesn't know squat but is a self confessed expert. (or in this case 'owner').

$249 Retail for the 20" barrel black ones in Arizona. So much gun for so little money.

And a standard Adler's $800! You could buy two 870's and have all the spare parts to make it both of them tacticool, field-beautiful, or as crazy as you want!

(Or put them both together and make a remington 1740 )

Have a good look at the Remington 7600 and 7615 pump rifles. Those and the 870 are not that different in feel, based on the same design.

Sports Dept. is like Sports Co here except big as a Bunnings with *everything* sports. If you think the 870 is cheap, they had Bushmasters on the rack for under $700 all kitted out. If you ever handled one, they feel like a plastic toy gun

go the 458 win mag

naaah, you soft? minimum Lott or preferably the 458Foxtrot

[<<Genesis93>>]

mmmmmm pumpies... the positive out of this recat of levers to B (because theyre like a semi-auto they say).... is that 'we' will have ground to argue the pumps, which must logically also be 'like' semis... should also go to B!!! and while theyre at it, semis, which are also most definitely like semis.... should follow suit

Bring it on hoplotards.........

(sorry, I still dont exactly understand what a fudd is, at least where the word comes from...)

[Rifle realist]

Hi Genesis93
I like your reasoning
Hi Duncan I will probably go the .458 it would make a great Micky bull stopper and big bull camels in heat, besides it should upgrade my man card to gold status. Brett must have a platinum man card that is almost irrevocable.
Hi Gwion I have to go up that way in about 2 weeks time so I will see him then and explain that not every one here is adamant that anybody should have totally unrestricted access to all and any firearm and be able to shoot where ever they want.

Genisis...

Fudd: Elmer Fudd, only wants a single barrel (non repeating) shotgun.

"Shhhhh... Be vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits!"

One comment i read, attributed to a fed minister, was to the effect that the Adler was a potential "Terrorist Weapon".
My view of that is that the cowardly traitorous bastards are importing terrorists, at my expense, and using that threat to justify denying my access to previously legal firearms.
I hope there will be an accounting some day.
