I don't want them all but I do like them all. I have never been one to say mine is better than yours. If you like it that's all that matters. I own a Browning BLR down to a Jennings 380.

When with other gun owners, I try to be helpful, if they ask for a hand with a problem. I never talk down a gun to it's owner, because most owners take good care of their firearms. On the other hand, when I'm in the shop, and a customer brings in a broken gun that's been neglected, I let them know why the gun failed. If I have a customer looking for a CCW pistol or revolver, I always try to explain that dependability is number one. Some of the lower priced guns are just not that dependable. But if affordability is their concern, I suggest used, in good shape, rather than new and questionable. When in the shop, I have to be on my professional best behaviour, and will talk the pros and cons of various weapons. When out among gun owners, I'm just another gun owner, unless asked my opinion. And even then, it's polite. I never look down my nose at another person's firearm!

In some ways yes, in some ways no. I have a Romy SKS that looks like it DID go through WWII. It's a good shooter even if it does look like crap.
Dollar amt. VS Accuracy is where I stand. Anything that is accurate is generally good quality and most likely reliable enough too.
There are a coulple of models I don't like due to accuracy concerns but if someone else likes them. That's their business.

No, I love to admire/own all guns.
Especially, the older ones.
I prefer used guns, over new.
I used to get upset when zeroing in a gun.
And some  .
Would show up at the range, with a tec 9 or such like.
And drop 3-4 magazines down range.
And hit my targets.
It didn't happen a third time.
Funny thing, they ever come back!! 
Or I might grimace, when someone says.
Colts, Remington, or Winchesters, are junk.
Compared to their new, plastic gun 
Or a Mosin!    that slipped out!!
Firearms are like, cars, trucks & people.
Butt, it always goes beck to the saying.
Opinions are like..... 
Every body, has one!

I have a Rem 1100 with a shorter barrel and no vent rib, just a bead sight. I go shoot trap and pulverize as many birds as 90% of the guys with $5K shotguns. Makes me laugh... Not because they have nice guns, I have some of those too, but because almost every time one of them will say "Hey Lance, you should look into one of the superduperama trap specials down at Pacific Shooters on sale for $1,800 on a standard!" Uh yeah Mick, because I just hit 23 and you hit 19?
The kid that works for me has a Howa .223 rifle with a Nikko scope and he can hit the eye of a fly at 200 yards every time. I think he paid $550 for the combo and he is just so freaking deadly with it that it makes me sick. Uses cheap Wolf ammo half the time too.
I have nice guns, I have not so nice guns. The nice ones don't shoot any more accurate really... Like anything else, it's a lot more about the Indian than it is about the arrow. Nice skis don't make you a better skier, better skiers can get more out of a nice ski.
A gun snob? No. But I do enjoy high quality stuff that is dependable.

I am definately a gun snob, I think everybody should on at least one. I don't associate with anyone who doesn't. As far as myself, I have some pretty expensive guns, but I also have an 80.00 Mosin 44 and I can't shoot that sumbitch without "grinnin like a possum".

As long as you own guns( legally)your good in my book | I agree with M1 on this point. It matters not the least to me what gun you are shooting.
For my personal guns; yes, I am a snob. I have my favorites, and that's what I buy. I buy Colt automatics. Not Kimber, not Wilson. I don't own and will never own an AR-anything. I have shot Glocks but will never own one. I have no love for single-action revolvers or pistol grip shotguns. I will never own a classic gun (Ruger #1, O/U shotgun, Marlin lever rifle, etc.) with a plastic stock.

Ran into one at Red Castle Gun Gunclub and he had a 7mm Weatherby that he was "sighting in" after the 500th round the gun was so hot he then proceeded to pour a tumbler full of iced water down the barrel. Is this the description of the so called gun snob or just another idiot who is " specially trained "?

If the gun is good quality, then I will buy it, fortunately in my years of buying and selling I have run across very few that I would consider to be "bad".

I think there are more gun snobs around than we think. if you included caliber snobs. I have a little of that myself. I also witnessed a man trying to sight in new rifle at the range. He put more than three boxes through that poor rifle in 15 minutes. I could see the heat rising off it from 10 feet away. I'm no expert or metallurgist, but I wouldn't want that done to any of my rilfes.
