5. Congrats, you finally irritated them to the point that they gave up.

I refuse to go there and it just eats at their soul. If one of them didn't cut n paste my posts he wouldn't have anything to say.

Another of them recently took me to task over saying the AR15 was a POS for anything but close in combat. Follow the links and half of them agree with me. The most popular ARs have 20 inch barrels but good varmint guns have 28-30 inch barrels and are bolt action, a whole different animal from the AR platform. The longer barrels add velocity (which is crucial to overcoming the 55 grain light weight projectile) and accuracy. The only positive input for the AR was the ability to jerk off 10-15 rounds at a running target. Really? That's a good idea? Like you can know what lies past the target and make a humane kill on a running target?

If you want a good varmint gun try a 25-06. Twice the weight of the .223 and the same velocity. Flat trajectory, not susceptible to
windage and with custom loads can exceed 4000 fps. All states accept it for game up to elk.

I post this to say I can run down that rabbit hole with the best of them. Better than most.
