Thread: have to be just like that.

In the world of precision engineering firearms are actually not all that precise, a tolerance of .002-.003" being fairly normal. That is smaller than a gnat's cock to builder but positively sloppy to a toolmaker. Most post WW2 metal working machines in good condition can work all day within a .003" tolerance with a good operator, whereas a good CNC can work within .001" all by itself with good tooling and programming. The main 'need' for precision is from the pride of owning a well-built firearm and the appreciation and experience of its performance. The customer is not always right but he is the one with the money and won't come back for more jobs if he is not happy!

Yup we're either seeing proper AI bots moving in or someone who's relying on Chat GPT to formulate their posts. There's certainly nothing 'organic' about his/her responses and tends to reply to his own posts with generally unrelated content. The most recent one on the 7mm-08 thread has a totally unrelated link re a Bergara .22 ----->>>> Bot<<<<!!

Ok, despite all the fussiness and OCD

In all seriousness, I also couldn't help but notice that hunters (in general) are good people,
if I compare it to the others (fisho, kayakers, divers, and mountain bikers).
Ok, that's true, I haven't met that many hunters, but so far, hunters that I've met or dealt with are nicer folks.

Not saying there are no good people in other sports or no bad apple/s among the hunter,
Just my observation so far in general.

Ok, I'm off digging for the rest of the weekend

Stay safe whatever you doing this Easter weekend
