All my friends are Fudds (CW: hunting)

posted 2 years ago

My main shooting buddies will absolutely not shut up about how “impractical” of a deer rifle my 20 inch AR-10 (308) with 5-30x scope is.

If I had a desire to kill a deer with it, that deer would DIE. But, uh, not exactly the point.

(Edit to elaborate/clarify: I don’t have any particular desire to hunt, so I am annoyed that my friends insist on discussing the suitability of my long distance precision target rifle for hunting. That said, if I indeed did desire to hunt with it, it would be more than adequate for the task)

FWIW discussing hunting in /c/guns is fine but I appreciate you putting a CW out of consideration for comrades who disagree with it. We’ll consider putting that in the rules to align with the broader site guidelines

“Under no pretext"

Rules (Under review):

1. NO BUYING, SELLING OR TRADING of guns or accessories. Take that to Reddit and /r/GunAccessoriesForSale or Armslist.com
1. Censor all personally identifiable information in posts including serial numbers on firearms.
1. Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
1. Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
1. Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put “CW: hunting” in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don’t derail other people’s threads.
