I bought a VX II 6-18 a few years back. At the time, it seemed a bit excessive (I hunt whitetail in PA), but I went for it anyway. I never turned my old 3-9 down past six anyway. My hunting buddies laughed.

So, enter Antler Restrictions - Now we PA hunters have to count points. Who looks like the genius now??? Now, when I tag out in archery, they all wanna borrow my gun, so they can count the points. Who's laughin' now??!

Just something to think about if A.R.'s are in the works in N.Y.

The bigger scope has, on rare occasion, been a benefit, but has NEVER been a hinderance.
