Ya, do ya think after all the ribbing that he got that he shouldered said rifle and moved his head back just to see if The Black Ring disappeared?
Cuz as soon as he typed that stuff I grabbed the 7 Whizzum and dialed it to 2.5X,shoulderd it and had my wife crank it to 8X while I looked through the scope. No Black Ring! Maybe having the eyepiece only 1/2" behind the trigger guard has something to do with it?
Same with the 280 and 35 whelen both with 3-9x andthe 35 whelen with a 2-7.
