Somewhere on the endless expanse of open space between secret locations:

“Well, yeah. You and I don’t need to spend three grand on a scope yet until we can make full use of something from Leupold that costs half as much. It’s kinda different spending your own money, y’know? I mean he just goes in and the whole thing goes down like “Hi, I’m OldNFO* and I’m awesome.” “Holy shit, you are! Have this amazing rifle!”

*It sounded even funnier with his real name in, and I don’t know why. If you know the guy, you understand.

    Yep, that’s exactly right.

  2. Jennifer Says:

    so very true.

  3. Old NFO Says:

    Not… I’m just an old fart that gets lucky…

  4. SCI-FI Says:

    “…old fart that gets lucky.”

    This reminds me of prairie dog plinking with oldNFO, who tells us that his gun isn’t very accurate, then rocks a hip-shot and sends a prairie dog cartwheeling into oblivion… at 125 yards.

    He’s so awesome I tried to give him some of my rifles but he noticed all of his were better! :)

    NFO you’re as bad as Breda at denying your own inner awesome!

    Also - you hush, Weerd.

  10. falnfenix Says:

    no, Breda, he shouldn’t hush. *you* hush.

  11. DaddyBear Says:

    Yeah, I’m 40, and when I grow up, I want OldNFO’s gun collection.

  12. Tam Says:

    You could see the future through that optic…

    …and the future looked pretty grim for whatever it was pointing at.

  13. MSgt B Says:

    Enough of this clever misdirection. Everyone knows OldNFO is Mr. _ing awesome.

    Where are the Humongous pictures?

  14. Don Says:

    I really think it might be the mustache. With the mustache, there is no need to announce or explain that you are awesome and deserving of scopes.
