IowaWhitetails, they just giving you a hard time cause your state is charging 540 bucks for an out of state deer hunt and can't even use a rifle ( scowl) Anyway, not that I care but at Cabelas there sure are a lot of Magnums on the used rack that never been shot. The Redfield Revolution 2x7 is 180 bucks there too, kind of high but a nice scope however. This might get you under budget. I shot .270 win @ 400 yds quite a few times across a gravel pit. With a 7600 pump and got 12-16" groups , not so good. It was very hard getting the bullet where I wanted it. Not that I care.
