I did not mean to imply that I don't like your posts. In fact, I really like what you post and find much of it interesting.
It was as BET7 wrote that I was curious as to why a SA supported forum was reviewing a competitive product. Nothing more, nothing less.
All of that said, I joined this forum to learn more about SA products. I belong to a forum for trapshooting, another for .22 rimfire, a general one that usually has posters of greater experience, as well as a number of other ones that address other issues of shooting, or competition, or hunting.
It annoys me to go to a forum on large bear hunting and spend time reading opinions from some nimrod who has never hunted the big bears who thinks he/she/it has to succumb to their impulse to glorify (in their own mind) themselves by posting when they don't know anything really about the subject other than what they have read in some other forum. It annoys me when range boys that have never known combat tell an OP that a quest for a lighter AR 15 (semi auto) that he/she/it needs to start lifting weights instead of seeking a lighter weapon.
Of course, when some of them show up in Idaho with 8-10 pound 30.06 bolt actions, it is pretty humorous watching what they go through trying not to have a heart attack before the day is over, let alone after three days.
I have been hunting both small and large game all over the world since the 1950s and I have never needed a target or sniper rifle because I have never shot anything (on four legs) farther away than 400 yards and mostly at far shorter distances, but that could be just me.
Sorry if you thought I was attacking you - that was the furthest thing from my mind when I responded. Keep up the good work.
