In fact people will probably stop you and ASK to fight.... Imagine that you are a guide, and some doofus shows up in camp, with his $3xxx rifle and $2xxx scope, carrying both using the scope as a handle. Ka-Ching!!!!!!! Go find this guy a spike buck, and head for the bank. I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

I wouldn't want a scope and mount setup that couldn't handle being a handle. Originally Posted by 16penny If you put Taco Bell sauce in your ramen noodles it tastes just like poverty

I see people (even guides) doing this on TV and scratch my head. Doesn't make sense to me. My rifles and scopes must be put together better then you are used to. Handle....walking stick.....boat paddle.....snake club Fell down a many of mountains out west with a rifle....never worry about point shift Yes the scope is above capable of being used as a handle If yours isn't.....your mounts are grade A junk My choice.....Leupold dual dove tails.....line lapped every time Maker of the Frankenstud Sling Keeper
