Specifically for Bourbon:
1.) Garbage Rod.
They say it works as good as any other bolt gun. But whenever he challenges people to a shooting match, they can't get a grouping closer than 5 inches. They also cannot fire off five rounds in the time he takes to fire ten with a Mauser. Working the bolt is like dragging a grand piano through a gravel pit. The fans of the garbage rod insist that it's because he cannot properly care for the rifle, despite the fact that this guy has been cleaning rifles since he was five.
For *some inexplicable reason*, people cannot seem to just enjoy the idea that the Mosin is a 150 dollar rifle. No. It must be the best of all bolt-actions.
And Feelings, I know what you mean. Hobby guns are absolutely fun. I just get tired of people trying to defend their favorites. It's not as if anyone judges somebody for simply liking the Mosin. And if they do, then they're not worth your time.
Right. I would have gotten an Ar-15 if I could have, but .308 caliber was my only option. If it hits the fan, then I'm handing that thing off to my brother in law who's marksman qualified.
Whole platform was designed around accuracy, so it'll perform if it's in the right hands.
Not often you can find somebody who's good enough to make full use of it, though.
