I'm a noob in this playing field - less than a year and only 5k rounds down range.
I've done a ton of reading and research, assembled my first, working on my second (closer to a build this time), and taken 2 carbine courses.
I still judge people by the following criteria;
1 - Are they following the 4 rules?
2 - Do they know how to operate their weapon?
3 - Are they shooting or just sending lead down range?
4 - What does their target look like [shot pattern].
5 - Are they being pricks when giving or receiving advice?
I could care less about what flavor they are shooting, what logo is stamped, or what is attached. Too late to criticize or advise them, their money is spent. If I can catch them before buying, then I try to guide them in the right direction.
I've seen two high end rifles give nothing but attitude at both classes [1 was ammo - short stroking every 8 rounds or so on day 2, the other a $2400 Noveske that did not care what it was fed, it just gave attitude both days], a guy with a Bushy that had no problems, and my "Frankengun" was and still is problem free.
