    Nope with that attitude it not the people "like you" that frustrate me and i expect exactly the same out of my own rifles.

    The people that frustrate me say things like:
    "But my mate said he sighted it in"
    "Nah, as soon as i could hit the paper that was good enough"
    "The shop sighted it in with their in store laser"
    "Nah, i just use the cheap ammo to sight in with, not the hunting stuff"
    "its just come back from the gunsmith, it'll be fine"
    "Torque? WTF? Nah mate, did mine up with a screw driver, didn't need to talk to it"
    Wheres it sighted in? - response "about 100 yards i'll just aim a bit high for that 300m goat"
    Wheres it shooting? - response "last time i checked it, it was about 2 inches hight and 3 to the left" - At what distance? - response "I think it was about 100 yards"
    "what do you mean, i sighted in on 9 power. It'll be bang on on 3 power as well"
    "bit funny wounding that one, thought it was sighted in"
    Done anything to your rifle since then? - response "Nah, i mean i took a tumble with it last trip but that won't do anything"
    "nah never shot anything past 100m except that goat at... must have been 400 yards. Got it too, never found it but it was definately hit"

    Can't think of anymore i have heard. Pretty sad i have heard all of these, several of them more than once...
