I want them to take my dues money and BUY A FRACKIN' DICTIONARY for the folks at American Rifleman. I got the new issue (June) today and the cover has a photo of a Benelli Vinci calling it a - wait for it - "Masterpiece." Not in the article, mind you, but on the COVER of the magazine. Maybe they think that's clever, like a play on "daVinci" - but unfortunately it's just lame.
New and innovative? um, OK, it borrows some ideas from modern rifles, Ok. Brilliant and artistic? "Masterpiece? Uh, no, it's ugly as sin. It's a semi-auto black plastic rifle with a 12 gauge chamber. Ok, good for the field, maybe a truly great field gun, but "masterpiece"?
Geez - how will the liberal left ever listen to the NRA about gun policy when they can't trust them to use the English language correctly?
Apparently those that don't take advertising or support money from Benelli don't have as high an opinion:

I was so disappointed with the cover story, I tossed the magazine aside for now and started reading the current issue of The Atlantic. Now that's sad for a gun fan...
