RE: Scope Question
If the scope is a Bushnell Sportview, remove it from the rifle. Walk to the nearest trash can. Hold the scope about 24" above the can. Now open your hand and let it fall. Some of the higher end Bushnell scopes are worth having - the new 3200/4200 Elite scopes are pretty good. But the old Sportview isn't worthy of even being on a .22 LR.
