I don't understand the mentality of some people. I went to the range today, brought three rifles. I started off shooting my .22lr rifles: CZ 452, Ruger 10/22(custom). I get these, "What is that kid doin' with a .22 on the 100yrd range?" look. Well, first off, my Ruger will embarress most guys with their centerfire bolt- actions on a calm, (little wind) day. Like today! Secondly, a .22 is not a toy. I love shooting .22's. Alright, then I pull out the Bushmaster, in her fine black glory! Damn, I somehow got some respect? I don't get it. Why are some many people so obsessed with looks/ recoil?/ whatever. I am going back next week with my 1861 Springfield musket,(58cal.) It never fails to impress. Booom!!!!... S-M-O-K-E....Wack! A gun, is a gun,is a gun ,is a gun....
