Spotted at a gun show in North Texas earlier today. I don't think the guy was joking. ;-)

It’s quite common to see that at gun shows here, I’ve done it myself locally it’s the universal sign the guns not sighted in. Otherwise you get Johnny cheapskate who doesn’t try the rifle after he buys it misses a deer with it the comes back next show and demands his money back meanwhile he’s generally left the rifle wet in a gun case the whole time he’s had it and devalued the rifle substantially.

Thank you for that explanation, and makes total sense to me. However, it is worth noting that there were about a dozen other scoped rifles on the gentleman's table; and all of the rest of them had the scopes mounted in the proper orientation. I guess that could mean that they were already sighted in(?).

Or as purchased depends on how the gentleman runs his booth , myself I won’t leave a scope in proper orientation if I haven’t tried the rifle but every vender runs there program differently

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
