You know this weekend, I found a reason to have the best and brightest and crispest scope. I am not a hardcore varmiter and went out groundhoggin in a large field. My gunsmith has only Swarvos on his 22-243 middlesteads. I see where a person needs the crispest images when shooting rats out to 500 yards. No I didn't hit any at those distances, but those guys do. Nevermind a prairie dog.
