Fair enough, Shanks gave you a very nice run-down. However as a regular range officer I see a fairly common "situation" that makes me kinda upset. Joe Bloggs has gone off and spent 5-10K on a rig, often its been set up by "the shop" with a load etc. Usually fairly powerful rifles. They try and verify their zero at 100M as per our range rules, and WHAT, groups are nothing like "special" and the guy with the Howa on the next frame is making them look a bit silly.

Next thing I see it for sale somewhere.

Point is (that as an artist of some note you may have an inkling of) is that you need to know a lot before you commission such a "project" and the for sale column here tells me many people simply don't make enough effort to learn about themselves and "the game" before they lay down their $$. Sorry if that butt hurts some people but I guess I can get banned to the naughty corner with MD.
