Hey, there you are, I knew you'd be out there somewhere. If ever a gun was crying out for a gloss scope, this is it. The fit and finish on this thing is unreal. This one will give me some real knock down power, good thing to have for the pigs, and will work for close to mid range on deer. I was going into town tomorrow to pick up the 3-9x40 Vortex Viper I had picked out for the 06, but I may put it on this one for awhile until I find the fixed power I want. I'll check and see what he's got in a fixed power, I was looking for the 06 so didn't pay any attention. He is a Vortex distributer so we'll go thru his catalog and see what Vortex has. Thanks for the advice and I'll let you know what I find---
