Did the scope come in a Blister Pack...?

It may be your lucky day. If I can't get it to shoot like I want it to, I'll put it up on the classifieds. Keep an eye or two out for it! Swampy will have the first right of refusal, of course. I owe him that.
DANG! and did you say it was a .270...? one of my faves.....  Well.....The first 2/3rds or so of the barrel is 270, but not sure what the last 1/3rd of it is. The bullets don't really go all the way through, so I think it might be a little smaller???? Swampy recommended I shoot a few 243 loads through there and that might straighten it out. I'm loading them up now.

Did the scope come in a Blister Pack...? No...it came in bubble wrap. Swampy said it's a lot better than the new ones you can buy at wal-mark.

If the bullets don't go the whole way through you are losing all the advantage of all those extra MOAs... Not sure I even wanna buy the gun now....

I'd try switching from monofilament rings to braided---less stretch.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

Nah. Looks like a Tasco? Also looks like the only thing that survived the trauma.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

I think it rude and childish to pollute other peoples threads........
I don't find that self serving and narcissistic behavior funny in the least. But it's ok for you to do exactly the same thing?  I'm sorry but you couldn't POSSIBLY be narcissistic when you wear a hat like Little Bo Peep: ![[Linked Image]](http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Woodsman1956/Living%20History/100_3348.jpg) Man I love that picture! I just want to know why ever picture I seen of swampy both ears are red?

Oh....that's probably the crappy cell phone pics. You may not be able to tell that the scope is a Tasco World Class 3-9x40. And it's one of the Taiwan models, which swampy told me was much preferred and much better than the old Japanese pieces of crap. I think those were his exact words. I consult him prior to all my optic buys.

Don't have a sister. Anger is a weakness. No I'd rather have my sister work in a whore house than ride anything other than a Harley or a Triumph. So just read this whole thing, it appears you can't keep your answers straight in the same thread.

So just read this whole thing, it appears you can't keep your answers straight in the same thread. ......njs1230...........You busted the `ol fart. Good one there. From now on, Swampy should just do us all a favor and list everything he doesn`t like; whether its a rifle, a scope, a handgun, car, boat, an ATV, 2 or 3 wheeled motorcyles of any kind, or whatever it happens to be. Then the rest of us when we are ready, will go out and buy whatever he dislikes. He`ll do us all a big favor. In my case, I`m off to a great start with Swamp`s dislike list. 300 WSM Ruger Frontier (barrel too short, too loud, and Rugers can`t hit a damn thing) 338-378 Bee Mk5 (too powerful for most realistic hunting; shoulda just got an `06) 375 Ruger Alaskan (the 375 Ruger will be "obsolete" someday. No need for it) `09 Escalade (too metro gay) `011 GT500 (In Swamp`s eyes, too fast and damn gas hog) `011 Can Am Spyder RTS (simply too gay and too ugly) What else don`t ya like Swamp? Please make a list and if I`m in the market for any one or more of those things you really dislike, I`ll rush right out and get it. In fact, you`ll probably do the rest of the forum group a big huge favor because whatever you dislike, will certainly work to our advantage....

Pretty much you have to be able to shoot sub-MOA groups to get sub-MOA groups. Son, I"ve shot more sub moa groups than you've ever dreamed about.
