Uh oh, might have a problem here. Stopped by Charlie's today, he still had the gun in the truck and said take it and pay him later. I agreed I'd take it and check it out, but told him I wouldn't use it until Iv'e paid for it. Got a chance to really check out the scope, went on the net and read some reviews. Not good news. One of the reviewers put the same scope on his 06 and after every third shot, the scope was completely off again, couldn't keep it zero'd. Also, checking the BSA web site, this exact scope goes for about a hundred bucks, not a little over two hundred. I really like the gun, but if this scope can't handle the 06 recoil, how long before even the .223 takes it's toll. I don't want a scope with limitations. I'm not even considering any scope that sells for under $300 so the BSA won't work for me. I think I'll pass on this deal---
