Default First benchrest scope

I saw an ad somewhere that revived fond memories of my first benchrest rig. I remember starting out with a heavy barrel .222 built on a Winchester action, and using a 20X Unertl scope with external adjustments. That scope was huge. It was cumbersome for shooting groundhogs, but it was just the ticket on the bench. The rifle was changed a couple of times (went with Remington actions) but that scope was used for several years until the other guys started turning up with Leupold 24X target scopes, and I just had to have one. Wish I still had that old Unertl just to hang it on the wall in my office.
