While having fun at the range on Saturday with the boys, the inevitable "authority" invited himself into our business.

My mistake was asking him about the ACOG atop his fancy new-looking SCAR. So yeah, I opened the door.

He started in on his wonderful SCAR 17, and how my "old" FR8 was a relic of a bygone era. Of course, I agree, but for unrelated reasons.

But then he told me that his rifle and scope - neither of which showed any noticeable wear - allow him to shoot:

1/4 MOA - Ha! - get this...

... at 25 yards.

Cue the Kasper Gutman laugh, as John K has articulated.

I had a couple invite themselves into my shooting area last summer. Dumb asses couldn't hit a 12" gong at 65 yards and then looked my single actions over as I sat dumbfounded on my tailgate. Said they were "sort of cool toys" I think I said that yes to the unskilled and unknowing they were much like their ARs, great noise makers. And I then rang that gong 5 times that he hit twice with a 30 round mag.

Never fired more satisfying shots.

When "our" guy broke out his shiny new .500 S&W and started in on dirt clods at 10 yards, we packed up and left.

When the feces hit the oscillating device, somebody with actual skill will end up with his nice stuff in short order.

.

you KNOW.

That would keep all its shots inside a dime at 300 yards. Of course he was also proud of a pair of binoculars that were a brand name "it said binoculars right on them!" Then there were his two brothers named Ed (no joke!)...
