I did a search and found one old similar thread but it was closed.
So what whoppers have you heard? I recently started working in a gun shop (large sporting goods chain) after the end of some other careers, and it's pretty highly entertaining at times.
Here's two I've heard from customers just in the last month:
--"My .338 Lapua only drops 6" at 1500 yards, with a 200 yard zero."
--"My .22-250 with 7 twist 26" bbl and 100 grainers gets 4,700 fps."
Not kidding - both these guys sounded fairly reasonable and intelligible before delivering those punch lines to me.
On the first guy, I said "Well that sounds like one 'unbelievable' rifle." On the 2nd guy, shouldn't have, but I said "Hmmmm - I think your chrono has broken."
