Thread: Rifle and Optics Snobs

I have been savings my pennies to buy a nice Perazzi one day. Never shot one saw few in clubs shooting one. I don't know what I like about those but I just want one.

Does that make me a snob?

Depends on the reason you want to buy it.
If there is part of you who is buying it because it will make you 'look good' to others that mostly can't afford to have such a quality item....then yes you would be classed as a snob.

Nah, I don't have a trying to "Look good" bone in me. As I said I don't know but I am sure its not about looking down at others. Maybe because those guys were always shooting better scores and their guns are neatly packed in cases etc whereas I was shooting club guns with moving hinges and faulty triggers.

I think its just innocent aspiration than anything else.
