Yes I have had this happen to me.
I love old military rifles. Martini-Henry, Krag, Lebel, etc.
Once in a while they get drug out and taken to the range.
I can't tell you the number of times some yuppie with his fancy Weatherby or Sako just has to pop off about my "Old Junker".
Here is how I handle it: Dare them to shoot against you and your rifle.
The catch: OFFHAND at 100yds.
None of that mamby-pamby off the sandbagged bench stuff. Stand up and shoot that rifle like a man. They get real quiet.
and I have YET to have one outshoot my "old Junker"!
It drives them nutty to think an iron sighted 110yr old rifle beat them.
Same thing on the skeet range.
I have ONE old Remington 870. Shoot it pretty good.
The $10,000 ParkerPerazziSuperposed bunch sniff at the old remington but when trigger time happens and you smoke their arse they STF up real quick.
Shooting is like a bunch of other hobbies. People who aren't willing to put in the practice think State of the Art technology will make them "better".
Rarely is this the case.
