I sat in a room years ago and observed an exchange between a USMC Scout Sniper (who's had a History Channel program done about him) and the former NCOIC of 5th SFG's Sniper School discuss S&B scopes. "Schidt and Bend-Overs" as the marine referred to them. The SF guy laughed.

Every one of the initial buy scopes had to be returned because they wouldn't track and hold a zero.


What were you doing in that room, busing tables, or sweeping the floor?


Listening and learning. You should give it a whirl. It might expand your horizons, like maybe learning the difference between a sling and a carry strap, like that schidt carry-strap you peddle off as a sling.
