There's been quite a kerfuffle in the Blogosphere lately. It seems that the guys manning the H.S. Precision booth at the NRA booth were
Well, says I - didn't you do a Photoshop on this very subject, lo those many moons ago? Why, yes I did. Almost won Sebastian's contest with it, too (thanks to everyone who voted!).

Note to the H. S. Precision marketing department: if you want to reply, send a statement in an email or leave a comment. I will post your email text unedited. But before you deny that this happened, remember that the Internet is forever.
Shamelessly linked to your post.
