tom,
I really can't do any of options. the boss would have my hide if I do that, if fact we are trimming the budget a little more. for selling an gun or two, I have what I want. besides, the guns I own won't go for much. I know my 54cal hawken won't get what I put into it. sorry $1k scopes are out of the question.
I beleave there are some low to mid range scopes that are just as good.
I respect your point of view.
