I'm sure I've been judged, and sometimes it turns out in my favor. I remember a day plinking with my friend's .50 cal. (Yes, it can be done.) We had some old empty camp propane bottles, some plastic bottles, etc. We were at a huge open pit mine, so there was no fire danger from the propane. Anyway, he and his friend shot at that thing with the big .50 4 or 5 times, but couldn't seem to get it. I asked if I could try with my NEF .45-70. At about 175 yards, with open sights, it was bowled over with a 350 grain bullet. A friend of mine said, simply, "Don't [mess] with Ben and his $175 rifle." It's fun to shoot cheap guns well and prove that it's not the gun, but the shooter. It's the same reaction I got when I used to beat people at IDPA with a Glock 26, and they couldn't seem to get their Kimbers and Wilsons to shoot fast enough for them.

I absolutely hate it when people seem to think a certain legal arm shouldn't be used for hunting, based on vintage, composition, price, or finish.
