That scope looks like it means business. Better than the other simpler version that most of us end up with. I'd be curious how it shoots.

Hope to get it to the range in the next few weeks Robert. Been kind of busy with dad's illness but he now appears on the mend.

Good that your dad is on the mend. WWII paratroopers have pretty thin ranks now days. I was talking to a friend that is acquainted with Donald Burgett, 101st Abn, WWII and a noted writer. He visited Don the other day. Don is still kicking but not nearly so high any more. Old soldiers do fade away.

Thanks Robert, pops has had an issue with water in his lungs since he had pneumonia (or so they thought) about 2 years ago, but the past 6 months it got real bad. They finally did tests and found he had some rare lung fungal infection, and the medicine they give you for it really screws with your mind and your muscles. Good news is it only took about 1 week of treatments to get it under control ( he goes today to see if it is gone for good) So now he is going through rehab to build back up his muscle strength after over 2 weeks of being bed ridden. But he is a tuff old bird and I have had to remind him that the 1st round down at the marina is on him since I bought last round at the end of last season.
