Hi Paul . . . one interesting thing about BSA has been their openness . . . which I appreciate. I understand they have a good service department. I called them one time about a particular scope and they were quite open in suggesting that I MIGHT want to get a Leupold instead . . . interesting! He said that the BSA was a good scope for what you pay for it. I think that was an honest answer. As an addendum I chatted with him about China, having had a relative that worked in business over there for awhile. He said they would do better when they "got it all figured out! And they were getting close!" We laughed about that. He said he used a Leupold on his trip to Alaska!

Yep BIG COUNTRY . . . I live in Colorado . . . is there anywhere else? And NO I don't work for Burris! As a side point though . . . if you can't see it, why worry about the details? Rifles are like that too . . . some guys keep buying and "upgrading" to get the ultimate velocity or whatever. Great if they got the money. Nobody ever killed a deer with a chrono - the .30-30 probably takes more deer than anything - and according to the statistics it has always been inadequate - go figure. With all the hyper-velocity stuff out there I still would like to have a 7x57 . . . the new Rem Classic in 8mm is appealing too. If I had that, and a Weaver Grand Slam, I would hang it on the wall and just stare at it!
