RE: Your take on scopes
My God , I have been so short changing my self . I scrape together $4-500 a year so I can get in the field 20-25 days out of 92 possible days I get a total of 20 daysfor deer ($100 of my budget for license and tags 25 more for fowl 10 more for upland game) and I can spend a measly 5000 on a rifle and another 2000 for optics 6-700 for bino's 40k on a truck ................ sorry off track .
I shoot a $250 rifle with a $90 3-9x40 Tasco pronghorn it's clear brighter than naked eye at dawn and dusk and a trick color change retical black in good light gold as the light fades in 14 years and I'd guess 1000 full house loads and at least twice that many plinkers ,10 hunts in 100+degrees to teens , with no shift no fog . Now if those $60 rings would just hold .
