yeah - I’m with Auggie.
@Back Alley Gator - please ‘splain yo self

Im assuming this is in reference to the Brokeback Mountain/Creedmoor meme.

One of the latest fads in shooting sports is the (re)discovery of the 6.5 Creedmoor caliber. Everywhere you go you see people shooting them or buying them. They are a little bit larger than the .243 caliber, have good terminal performance and good ballistics. But the big thing is that they are *different*.

So its a dig at the 6.5 fanboys.

I don't get it.

Oh....nevermind my other post. I just now see which one you're talking about.Oh the irony.

Its a reference to how the sight picture looked 10 years ago vs how it looks now. Its a reference to getting old. The challenge is to continue shooting like you did when you were young, now that you can barely see the front sight and the entire sight picture is a blur.

I don't really have an opinion on it. I haven't looked into it because I don't really have any use for it. I have a 243, 270, 300 wm, and 338 wm. The next rifle I get will likey be a 22-250.

I just tend to poke fun at things that are all the rage. Its one of many character flaws.
