I'm a Garand pusher

There scores never really impressed me, but the rifle sure did,

Yeah, there's no doubt that AR15's run rings around M1's accuracywise, but there are not many rifles that are more MANLY than the M1. It's a big, heavy hunk of walnut and steel, comforting to hold, and humbling (and addictive) to shoot. I also try to turn people on to them whenever possible.
