How dumb can you be?

[JSPURRELL]

I recently got me a Gamo .22 air rifle, that came with it's own, however cheap scope. The thing i did was mount the scope on the rifle backwards! This is what happens when you fail to read the manual. Last time i mounted a scope to a rifle was 30 years ago to a Ruger 10/22. I took this gun out to site it in at my parents house and for the life of me it would not zero in to the bullseye, no mater how many times i twisted the adjustments. I should of figured it out right a way but the view through the scope was supposedly normal, it was only after i let my brother try he said, you know you have your scope on backwards! what a dummie.

I used to ask people that question..."how dumb can you be?"

I had to stop...because too many of them were taking it as a challenge.

I would say from the, "Braid" on his cap, he is an officer and he was "Set up" for a photo op.

Even an officer should be able to recognize something off with the scope

Edit , not like they gave him a Colt 4X scope that has no distinctly different ends

Then there was the time I installed a new scope and clocked it 90 degrees out.
This, "Scope thing" must be catching.

Takes a few swallows to go public with this. Kudo's for that. You dink with guns
enough it'll happen. Most just look around to see who noticed and then keep their
yappers shut.
